What I Am Doing With My Steem Power Today... SPONSORING STEEMAGAR!

in announcement •  7 years ago  (edited)

Introduction

Have you ever played Agar? It is a fun little game where you are a dot that eats other dots. By moving your mouse, you gobble little dots and eventually other players who do the same.

It is currently a massively popular game with hundreds of thousands of players per day. It's very easy to understand and it's actually quite a fun way to waste time.

Enters SteemAgar

SteemAgar, created by @igster, is a steem implementation of the famous game but now you can earn steem by winning the game or by being rewarded by your other players via upvotes.

You can have all the details of how this works here.

Why I Am Sponsoring This Project

Reason #1 - Meritocratic Way to Earn Steem

One thing that is difficult for a lot of people on the steem blockchain is to get off the ground and also, not everybody is talented in creating content, networking, managing projects, etc.

By creating an entirely different way to earn steem (aka via gaming), we open an entirely new way for people to get off the ground and earn based on their skills at Agar.

Reason #2 - Perfect Ways to Showcase the Power of the Steem Blockchain

With Steem having zero transactions fees that are practically instant, we have a perfect way to showcase it beyond the world of blogging and content creation.

No other blockchain could do something like that.

How Much Am I Sponsoring?

I am trying to establish communication with @igster for him to establish either a delegation reward program like utopian.io OR a curation trail that people can follow.

For now, I am simply going to upvote every games so that the account can increase it's steempower over time as well as promote the games in the "hot" section.

You might also seem me play in there and get upvote from me when you beat me

Hopefully, he is going to start a curation trail on steemauto.com so that I can follow his upvote on the winners of each game. I would like that the winner of each game is able to win at least $10 US.

Conclusion

This is by far one of the most exciting steem project I have encountered so far. Please upvote and resteem this blogpost so that more people get to play and earn steem via gaming!

Agar is a very popular game here in Madonna University, Nigeria. Most of us spend a chunk of our weekends just gaming. We would never have dreamt that a time would come when we could actually earn by playing what we've been playing everyday without any gains. I am delighted beyond words.

I will forward this to our group chat immediately. This is a ray of sunshine in February. I am particularly glad for those of my friends who gave up on this platform because they felt their content was not creative enough or that they did not have what it takes to impress other steemians. This is hope at last for them.
Thank you @igster for creating this.
Blessings to you @cryptoctopus for sponsoring it.

First of all, it's an honor being mentioned by you! Also thank you for bringing more exposure for the project @cryptoctopus, I'm glad you're also as excited about bringing Steem and gaming together. I hope this is just the start and others also start thinking of new ways to utilize Steem. We're just scratching the surface here.

The increased player number has been taken into account now and server has been upgraded, I will also setup curation trail for @steemplayroom using steemauto.com as you suggested.

Game starting now. Join me!

wow
Great to join now

Oh OKAY. GOT IT!

wow very nice game information friend

where can i chack for the new announcement and how will i now that now gae is started

Can I join with you ...???

So Awesome! Love this <3

That is SOO cute , sort of reminds me of Pac-Man and now it’s the Steem version !! How can I join ? I want to win, I’m feeling lucky today for my 23rd birthday :)

Very cool game and would love to play it, but it doesn't look like it's working for me. It probably has something to do with the firewall at my work.

I really like this idea and glad it's getting some well-deserved support and can't wait until this and games like steemnova become more and more options for people to interact with the steem blockchain and earn steem.

I have never loved playing games,but since i will be paid to play....am in this game.
Let me read more about it and soon beat you hehehe

Oh man this is awesome!! I so wish this was there when I first started out!! I had a really difficult time to take off for the first couple months!!

Definitely gonna try to play agar....hope I'll beat you at some point hehyehe :D

Agar really seems an interesting game, well I would love to play it, and earn some SBD's, thanks for sharing such a great information, keep posting stuff like this, thankyou

wow very nice

Thanks

welcome friend

It seems more and more gaming is been built on the steem blockchain, first was @steempunknet, which by the way is absolutely awesome, its n MMORPG game built on the steemit network that allows player to battle each other, here steempower is of no relevant when it comes to battle and now we have SteemAgar,

The steem blockchain is going beyond more than blogging and transaction as each day passes and am proud to be a steemian.

Steem to the moon.

Time to try out this new game hehe, and I hope to beat the existing score if there is any presently

I never knew of MMORPG game, I think these are welcome developments, like you said here

The steem blockchain is going beyond more than blogging and transaction as each day passes and am proud to be a steemian.

Steemit and Steem blockchain will be more fun with these addictions.

Exactly

I dont like agar, because i never Win...

Whoa, this is something I hadn't really thought of before. Monetized gaming. I mean, @yumyumseth and I have already bet SBD on some of our FIFA games, but having actually it on the platform is a great initiative. I have friends that I've told about Steemit, but some of them aren't natural content creators and, while they like the idea, don't have a good enough push to get started. Stuff like this excites me, because this really does open up a whole new demographic. I'll have to try this game out and beat you!

Yeah you are right, some people will not key in except it's something the can freely and easily do, for some their niche isn't bloggging, their niche might be game

This will really help bring new people into the steemit blockchain.

Is this the only project you selected from that excel spreadsheet?
I will definitely check the game!

pacman type game on steem blockchain. what a fantastic news, i'll join it. impressive thought to bring that game to steem blockchain. very interesting @cryptoctopus

@resteemia

@cryptoctopus,
Never played this game before! I will try this one! Once I played STEEMDICE and as you said no transaction fee is a good thing to play those games! And speed of the block transaction also so great! As a result we can play instant game there too! I will try this one! Thanks for sharing this great news and happy to see you are sponsoring this game as well!

Cheers~

That's an interesting and useful game, such games are profitable and funny. I wil try this game. Thanks for sponsoring this game.

@cryptoctopus - Sir I'll join this game... I played sneak game before... Therefore, I think I can win this game too Sir... Nice you decided to discuss about it Sir...

+W+

This is cool! I'm 100% sure that SteemAgar won't break Steem like CryptoKitties broke Ethereum. Therefore this is the perfect showcase for demonstrating the power of the Steem blockchain!

Let's all start playing and promoting this!

Lol that is really fun to do + rewards. World is getting better and creative :P
We all should start a cryptoctopus pool game :D

Wow
This is really exciting to know we can earn some steem playing games on the steem blogchain. Like you said, not everybody can be talented in writing and other stuffs, but we can be talented in Agar. I look forward to this system growing to become like utopia.io like you mentioned above.

This is great idea. I wanted to play, but did not have time. I am probably going to play my first game today. It seems new match is every hour.

Wow!!
This is a nice innovation.. A steem incorporated game, Can't wait to start playing.
@cryptoctopus your support will help more and more people play the game and lucky winner go home with a handsome prize.

One thing that is difficult for a lot of people on the steem blockchain is to get off the ground and also, not everybody is talented in creating content, networking, managing projects, etc.

This is important when one thinks about Pareto distributions.

It is important that people be allowed to accumulate Steem based on their strengths. This is the Matthew principle in action.

Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. --
Matthew 13:12

I remember playing that game a few years ago! It’s nice to have the opportunity to now earn some steem while doing the same as before, another example of how powerful can blockchain technology be.

@igster creates some really cool stuff although a great of it doesnt seem to take off.

This might be one that does fly.

I think you hit the nail on the head @cryptoctopus. Gaming is an arena on this blockchain that could really be built out. We have the ability to create most any game on here. It is wonderful to see this appear. While not a gamer myself, I do know it is extremely popular with the younger crowd.

I wrote a post earlier that talked about STEEM as a nation. I should have put in my little life on STEEM in 2028 a part about playing STEEM video games.

This is also a way to target the younger generation.

I will be sure to get over there to see what I can do to support it....

It might appear in an article too. 😀

Interesting the game that sponsors, I will try it to clear the mind in a fun way
https://steemgar.herokuapp.com/

Oh yeah, great news and the idea itself is thought up simply superb! I fully agree with you, my friend, it is a noble mission to promote this game, for ordinary people in our ecosystem, since not only many participants promote their content to the Steem blockchain and receive a reward for their work, so this game will be an excellent incentive for moving forward !

I have never played agar but it sounds like the snake game we used to play in phones,i am really interested and want to play this game by which I’ll be able to get rewarded which is the dream if every gamer.by this interest,passion is going to combine with reward which is a huge leap in terms of gaming being taken a waste of time which cause loss. You are doing a great job and kep it up.thanks

This is innovative. How can one be a part mm of it. I would love to participate. Thank youmfor the post.

That's really great..
There's still a chance for untalented people like me :p

I play agar for a long time. Steame went very well to do that. i will play bi game i love and i will get steem power. it is really nice! I am excited about this project. Thanks for information

it is going to be exciting
i would love to play this

upvote and resteem done

Right now I am using my phone to everything on steemit because my laptop is bad I would have loved to be part of this initiative where one can earn by simply playing a game. You are doing a great deal of work in here. God bless you.

Play and get paid for it? Yes this is the dream of millions!!! ))) It is necessary to try. Thank you for telling us about this opportunity )

IMG_20180220_094558.png

I was wondering how long it would take for something like this to come out. It’s a brilliant idea and I’m gonna have to give the game a try when I get home :) thanks for letting me know about it @cryptoctopus!

I can not afford to go to high class, because I was a kid can not road but I'm sure someday I'll be able to, which is important do not give up and disappointed, we every day siran red rose, to grow, happy tampa it all from a high class .. !!!

I will try it...

Thanks for sharing i will done up vote I always see your post
@cryptoctopus

¡Oh por dios! Me encanta ese juego, estaría muy feliz de poder ganar algo jugandolo, jajaja. Muy buen material, gracias :D

One thing that is making steem standout is this all engaging blockchain platform that seem to have at a least one or more front-end that make it simpler to earn.

One thing that is difficult for a lot of people on the steem blockchain is to get off the ground and also, not everybody is talented in creating content, networking, managing projects, etc.

By creating an entirely different way to earn steem (aka via gaming), we open an entirely new way for people to get off the ground and earn based on their skills at Agar.

For you upvotes every game so it account increase is a most wonderful thing you doing to the steemit blockchain

Gone through steemagar definitely goona play

Wow this is really great @cryptoctopus ... it's actually very difficult for new users to get off the ground and become a "big boy" on the platform but with this , it's going to be so much easier now ... thank you so much cryptoctopus ...I can't wait to play the game and probably beat you at it 😁😁😁

Not seen this game, but thanks for the post. It's a really interesting idea to gamify the earning of Steem Power. If this does take off, I think it'll be the first (if it is the first) of many games on the platform.

There's so much potential if you can bring gaming to Steem/Steemit. I'm definately going to check this out. Thanks.

LOL...I did NOT last long!

To be honest, I had never heard of Agar before. I just logged into the latest SteemAgar game and it was the quickest game I've ever played... game over in just a couple of seconds! So then, I googled and tried the Agar game. Now I know how it works... Now I need a rematch :D

Thanks for telling me about this! A Steem game, how awesome is that?

I do not agree but it's a nice game :)

It looks like a really wonderful game I wish you more happy time
I wish you a happy weekend

I love about this game that you actually get valuable upvotes. Even the enemies you crushed in the match could reward you as a worthy opponent, with no fees and fast transactions! I love it. I will definitely upvote the winners, hopefully it will be me as well.lol
Resteemed!

no enough time to waste, so I would not play agar. As you say it is interesting game so I could try it in leisure time. If the news is that playing games and earn SBD. Then I can play games all of my time. Lol. Thanks for your great information.

I want to start by saying that I love this initiative.
However, as a game developer, I couldn't get behind this project.
I'm just not a fan of clones.
My hope is they end up doing well from the project and are then encouraged to either build upon or maybe even create something original.
Or maybe doing well will encourage them to not bother.
I'm on the fence here.
No hate though for the project, my opinion is clearly biased on this one.

Man I haven't played Agar in months. Might be time to get back into it... Though I did stop because of how addictive it was.

This is awesome to promote steem blockchain to other player who is unfortunately be like me, no talent in writing and hard to earn from my post.

The idea is amazing, I didn't know that this was even possible to do...
Having fun and having a chance to get rewarded, where do you find this?? on Facebook right!! ahahahah

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

That sound so nice! I played agario for hours back then lol. I'm looking forward to try this out when I find some time. It could get really big regarding the possibilities you have with blockchains.

Edit: I just visited the webiste to check the game out. Am I stupid, or is the game currently disbaled? I can't find a 'play' button or so.

ohh That is really amazing steem project. my support for you as my upvote to your post. I am also sports and game lover. my younger brother played this game 'agar' so now i try to play this. great opportunity to win. thanks @cryptoctopus for providing such opportunity.

I like Agar, but it would be nice to have a SteemSlither game too!

very interesting your subject, every day you learn a little more I'll be waiting for more .. greetings

Thanks for sharing, i hope to try it out.

This is awesome, I’ve been playing this game all week. Unfortunately it seems like the servers supporting the game are not up to par because any time there are more than 5 people in the game it crashes.

Where is the game??
The link posted goes to an explanation of Steemgar which also doesn't post a link.
Where is it?

this great post I like it thanks for sharing best of luck.. resteemit.

It's been a long time i lay my hands on any game. But since is not complex to understand, i can start gaming again with this one

i just logged in to play. you need to see how excited i am to play

Take a look at SteemNova project https://steemit.com/@steemnova
We started server for Steemians and reward top8 aliance players in SBD every week. Feel invited!

Awesome! Will have to learn more about this but it's always nice to see someone with your SP putting so much effort into curation and cultivation of the platform!

i tried and apparently it got so popular the servers couldn't handle it. Hopefully they have it up later today.

Agar is a very nice game.. I earn steem daily and it has really helped my stay here.. After i almost lost intrest in steemit.. Thanks for sharing.. This gonna help alot of minnows

wow very interesting game.
i want to join with u
DQmTeZwSP47uim9q61AZmrr95cqNQ8qDKc1rzdXS7R6nig3.gif

Aaahhhh that's just great. That means we can enjoy playing a game and earn steem by moving a mouse over your screen. I mean this is really fantastic. I love steemit and I'm looking forward to agar. Thank you.

This is a nice innovation.. A steem incorporated game, Can't wait to start playing

Thanks for your post ...

ah .. i played. and this is an excellent project. absolutely great fun
I appreciate sponsorship!

Yea I saw this a few days back, am glad to see that it got on your radar... I think it will be a pretty big feat too for the steem blockchain and the steemit platform... Lovely

Great thinkin, thx mate!

Hello @cryptoctopus,

Extraordinary good news to all game lovers. Gaming & earning both can be done in the same time. Incredible idea to sponsor on this project.
Can you please guide me the way to join your curation program? I'm happy to be a part of that.

Hi @cryptoctopus, it's great that you're sponsoring this project, the game is actually really fun to play and it really does showcase the power of the STEEM blockchain.

I have a potentially huge project coming up with some big names in the blockchain industry, and I am trying to set up a delegation program for it. It will involve setting up offices and real, in-person incubators/workshops.

Would you be available to talk more about this? It will incorporate the SSI as well as some big blockchain names, with more details to be announced in a few weeks.

This is by far one of the most exciting steem project I have encountered so far. Please upvote and resteem this blogpost so that more people get to play and earn steem via gaming!

Sound really exciting for me as well. Shouldn’t be this called Steemgar? Instead of SteemAgar?
Upvoted & Resteemed!

I tried it but seemed to run too slow for me and I didn't last 1sec because LAG. Sad.

Back in the US? i hope you had a good flight. Yes we must be happy steemit can scale with the amount of users we have now. I think we will double again in 2018 if the right marketing takes place.. Looking forward to the projects people submitted to yo
