Crypto Shots - Earning My First Crypto
The last time I wrote about Crypto Shots I was reviewing it here. Since then I have been back and completed more levels but now that the game is released, it is time that I go back and start earning some crypto.
First of all I went to the Crypto Shots market place and opened my first Crypto Shots pack. This is unboxing my Starter Kit NFT :
It was very exciting and I got the following screens show up:
After a few approvals with Keychain, the unboxing was completed.
I know how much of a good feeling I get when I do pack openings, even though I know what was in it and I wasn't dissapointed here either. In my box were 2 Avatars:
I might see if I can sell the woman one, I'm not sure yet.
I also had 3 weapons and some ammo. This should be good for me to get started and play. Once I clicked play, I collected further goodies for free.
I collected my crew meal and space ship and proceeded to battle.
I did the easy level first as I was most familiar with this one. At my current level, I do not lose health so there was nothing to worry about in this respect.
I did need to keep an eye on the clock though so that I completed the mission on time. You need to win the game to earn crypto.
After winning, you can see that I earned some $igBOOM tokens which are tradable on WAX on the Alcor Dex and also in the Hive Engine called $DOOM tokens.
When I was not playing, the game makes a wind-type sound and my wife was asking me if I had left a window open or something. Then she realised it was coming from the computer and got mad. Being the wife of a full-time crypto gamer isn't easy.
I didn't tell her about my plans to become a full-time crypto gamer Digital Nomad in Chang Mai yet, I hope she will take it well. 😉
Once I had won a couple of rounds, I could see that at my current level, I can earn up to 62 igBOOM per day. There seems to be the option to unstake but you would need to burn a % that you have withdrawn. This would then encourage you to stake more and not withdraw.
How much is 62 $igBOOM you might ask?
Well according to the Hive Engine, the ASK price would be 0,787 Hive and the BID price 3,88 Hive. The spread is quite wide so I checked Alcor where the spread is thinner and the BID price gave me 7,248 WAX which is $0,4134 with a quick check on the livecoinwatch website.
I was earning around 1 $igBOOM per round, so that would be approximately 62 rounds that I would need to complete unless I increased the difficulty. The games last around 2 minutes each or less depending on how quick you are.
I noticed quite a few Wax players already on the top 50 players list and hitting the grinding hard. The top boy there has 43651 $igBOOM already!! This is 5103 Wax (~$290).
This game is still fairly new so I think there could be plenty of opportunity to stack some crypto here and the time/effort ratio looks to be acceptable. The main thing is that you need to probably like playing FPS games like me to enjoy it.
I quite like to play music from Panda Beats Music whilst grinding and it makes it more fun. There are many playlists that you can choose from too.
Have you played Crypto Shots yet?
Thanks for reading

I, too, bought the cheapest pack and got into the game a few weeks ago. But I still haven't figured out when the game ends. Do you have to kill all the monsters? I was running out of timer and couldn't find them all, so I was losing...
!PIZZA
Yes, to win the game you need to kill all the monsters. Then you can claim your tokens. !PIZZA
Thanks, buddy! Now I know it for sure! 💪

This' quite a pretty game though i've not played it before but I'll give it a trial to confirm things myself. Nice publication and well directed and explained, cheers and bye.
Thanks for checking it out. !CTP !PIZZA
Wow! I'm grateful for such an incredible tipping sir, it's my pleasure.
Hey, you can try the game for free in free-to-play mode at https://play.crypto-shots.com 😎
The game looks great and to earn while having fun in the FPS game is a win-win!!! Just saw yesterday's gameplay of PsyberX and it also looks awesome... Having more games on HIVE should push up a bit the whole blockchain and the price, too...
Not sure that she will take it well... 😂
I think so too and the team are doing great here with the gameplay and tokenomics. It can only get better. Im looking forward to a live version of PsyberX too, lets see what comes.
So far the reaction from my wife about Chang Mai wasnt so good, but I will work on it. !LOL

Nice job! I am totally out of practice when it comes to first person shooters. The original Halflife was my jam back in the day, but somewhere along the line I lost the touch. I was playing Quake the other day because you can get it free through Amazon Prime and Epic games right now. I actually started to get a little motion sick after playing it for a bit.
Thanks, Halflife brings back some memories. Epic are great giving games away so often!! I need to check it out. !CTP
@iikrypticsii let me know today that they are giving away games all month. Today is Saints Row 4 or something like that.
Ahh cool, i need to take a look.
You can play our game for free too if you use the free-to-play section at https://play.crypto-shots.com 😎
A shooter :O is there multiplayer?
Being the partner of a cryptomaniac is certainly not easy.🤣
Not at the moment but I think there will be if I remember rightly and they will be making it so you can see your own Avatar in game and things.
You are right, it is hard for my wife. !LOL

I am slow when it comes to gaming. My tendency is just to focus on one game. Imagine I played PVZ for more than 5 years before it was replaced by Splinterlands. 😅

I think the available time is also a factor. I need more time to explore new games.

Thats very true. Im trying also to play Gods Unchained, but it requires quite some time to play. !PIZZA
Wow! I also saw that game. It's beautiful.
Yeah, it's different to the auto battlers.
While trying out new things (such as games to play and earn from) is generally good, try not to get distracted from more important things (such as work and family). 🤗

I am grateful for the two week module. My wife and two sons are enrolled. I enjoyed family time.

Do you mean that your wife and sons have also enrolled for your module? 🤯 I wonder how similar your module is to your subjects in school. 🤓😅
!PIZZA
!CTP
Modules are subjects too. The only difference is the length of time. In modules, the lectures have to be completed in a week. The requirements will follow later.
My two sons were enrolled in Greek 1 and my wife in Theology and Biblical Counseling.
I wonder if it is you who is teaching your wife and sons with those modules. 😅
No, I am not. I just made the schedule and I served as an "all around assistant" of the professors.
!LOLZ
I thought that it is only in tertiary level (college) where class instructors in the Philippines are called "professors". 😅

Yes, they are. We are a college and a seminary. The teacher of Greek 1 has Ph. D. degree. The other one is teaching our MA course. And the last one has Ph. D. too and teaching in our D. Min. program.
Once you have your full inventory set you can reach max rewards in about 15 mins a day, unless you enjoy it and want to play longer (eg. against your friends once PVP is out 😎)
Thanks!
I thought #PlantsVsZombies recently became an NFT play-to-earn game when you said that you used to play PVZ before replacing it with #Splinterlands. 🤯😆😅

I know of the #PlantsVsUndead NFT game, which is very similar to PVZ. 😏 I would assume that lack of time (or just distraction) prevented you from playing that game. 🤓
