I went through the process of turning my PGL into EOS again. This time, it worked! Victory! Trumpets! All in my head. The setup pieces and conditions were 12 EOS to cpu, 1 EOS to net, 1.4 EOS liquid, put in a market order to sell on NewDex exchange. Some 15 to 30 minutes after putting in the order (10 times, mistake) the order went through and I collected my EOS for PGL.
So that opens up what Im doing with the Prospectors.io game. I had to break a scarcity mindset that had me balking at putting more EOS to work. For the low, low price of $33 of EOS I was able to get the transaction done. I cant believe it was $15 additional holding me back. But I talked myself into it, took action and completed a game loop. Reading about how to break a scarcity mindset also has caused me to open up to other adventure gaming. Break the low paywalls and pay to play and the whole world changes for a gamer.
The enjin mainfesto is also in the back of my mind where power is reapportioned back to the players who already love their games and with free exchange will love the games even more. The economics of virtual items drives the whole space. The work done, the items exchanged and the rewards acquired, created and generated from the work give a different satisfaction to a player's time and effort. It is a wonderful feeling to walk the path of mastering a game and not only get the game challenge success-satisfaction but the showing of the effort into semi-real world rewards. And I get to keep my EOS put to work and can go in, do it again.
