RE: Axie Infinity: Play-To-Earn Model
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I've been feeling a lot of FOMO over the whole AXIE thing. My biggest issue is the fact that it is on the ETH side of things. Just too expensive for me to justify it at this point. I will just stick to the HIVE and WAX games that I am currently playing and hope that one of them gets massively popular. Or just play them because it is fun and not worry about making money...

The ETH has issue is why I haven't taken a serious look at Gods Unchained. Any transaction in ETH is going to overshadow the cost of the item by too much.
This is Hive (& Splinterlands') biggest advantage I can see. Zero transaction fees makes it a true TCG.
It will not matter on the more valuable NFTs but is going to be a major issue on the less priced ones. A $25 NFT could cost equally as much to sell.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Most cards are only worth a few cents until they run out of print. A big part of trading card games is trading cards, which has been prohibative on ETH.
Im not so educated on all if it to know for certain but I don't really know how a game can successfully run on a non-PoS chain. Transaction fees take a lot away from the experience, even if theyre reasonable.
I just tweeted out about that concept.
Hive should be a primary destination for game developers since it offers the ability of transaction with Zero Fees.

Yes, but also, it's relatively fast, although it does need to pick up the pace a little on some things. Isn't the Leo team working on a lightening layer, or did they just launch one?
I think integrating that across the board will be a big help. Sometimes it still takes a Splinterlands match an eternity or two to load.
Yes they have a lightning layer for their applications. This is why Leofinance.io does not have a delay when posting comments or voting. It happens instantly even though the feeding to the blockchain takes time.
It ends up caching the data and then delivering it.

It is a valid hesitation.
If the price of transactions explode it could make moving NFTs around cost prohibitive.
It makes me wonder why more do not see the opportunity on Hive. We see this as a major sticking point for the successful games on Ethereum.

I totally agree with you. There are so many better alternatives to Hive. Too bad some of the whales wouldn't move their funds over here.

I am not sure I follow. What better alternatives to Hive? What do you mean?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No, better alternatives to ETH.

Ah okay. I misunderstood.
Yes there are a lot of options that can do better than Ethereum. In my view Axie Infinity would be better off on Hive.
Hopefully we will see a lot more development after the HAF is released.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes HAF should help.

I totally agree. Hive is so robust and simple. So much potential to build here.
