⚡️ Q&A Summary ⚡️

SPS Ranked Rewards:

  • Leaderboard rewards will be SPS, not DEC
  • SPS rewards will be given out in staked SPS
    • This concept was adopted by HIVE
    • SPS Staking is going to be critical in earning rewards so earning staked SPS will be a good start to prepare for that
  • SPS rewards will be gauged by how much SPS you have staked in the near-future
    • Before this can be released, the team wants to get SPS Delegations out first

Training Grounds:

  • Team has always wanted a Training Grounds that lets players customize Challenges/Practice Mode
  • Players could pick specific rule sets and mana caps
  • Could probably allow Ghost Card formats as well so new players can practice with cards before knowing what to buy/rent

Jacek - CL Fire Legendary Summoner Airdrop:

  • Currently selling around 10k CL packs per day
    • Only around 291k packs left before the Jacek airdrop


Riftwatchers:

  • Presale will last until the limited amount of packs are purchased
  • Plan seems to be still only 3M total RW packs
  • Official information should all be announced in the RW whitepaper
  • Aggy thinks at least 20% of the RW packs will require vouchers
  • There are multiple new abilities being introduced with the Riftwatchers set

SPL Arcade - Tower Defense Game:

  • Towers will be separate NFTs in the game
    • However, you may be able to stake SPL cards on the towers to power them up

SPS rewards will be gauged by how much SPS you have staked in the near-future I dont understand why this. It Will be big problem for new players :(.

The usual rich get richer scheme, and the new players are already being punished and discouraged by receiving reduced rewards by the percentage of the starter set cards used in battles.

RIght now is a good time to load up its cheap and add some nodes before they do get really epensive. loving the exra vouchers form the 3 i bought so far and land focusing on that and going to use any earnings to add land plots and try to buy the bid waiting for someone to dump some and take the market spead. it works well on low cap coins just set limit sells or buys so when ppl market drop a lot it moves the price u get filled at a insanely low price.

Im going to make a rental site with spt wheere you can buyare nft worth X sps like a prepaid card each nft will be unique and have totally random perks tied to them. The NFTS will be purchased only by selling spt and 25% sps and the NFT is used to offer lower rental prices higher delegation rewards for cards needed in demand, The nfts are kept bc the will be a likely inv club interest of TBD $ where the club will meet weekly or if a emergency trade comes up can get on it. I am limiting the first club which will eventually be the group that is overseeing branches in not only spl but WOO, GLS games, polygon, ada, steem , avax, eth, etc games to make are e sports team larger. only 100K Equity Interests worth 10K of assets will be sold and 500K profit share interests will be sold for 5K each Which will go 20% to a LP staked stable coin pools to crate stable yield so money is earning always then 50% staked in sps 15% for liquid staking protocals where we take half the rewards as a fee, an 10% NFT collections, 5% investmnets into other guilds and daos. Could have one crazy fund imangine how much work could be done to if we have asiginficant interst in smaller daos that we are able to gain majority in . Like id like to propose changes to the SPT reward system and up curation rewards and create SPTL a second token which has a restricted period to stake after earning to prevent dumps. On steem we will host many automated gampling bots collect fees hand out a governance token to govern a investment fund funded with 1/4 of the house profit and pays out inomce made to all partificpants who gambled with us and each say cummulative 100 gambled they they 1 unit and ther are no set units but the asset share will be smaller once units are bought but stil once it gets going can offer a shot at having every active spl player get i peice of it. Can have merchendise , plan how to make a sps gift card type deal , also set up a store for ppl who cant buy sps in NY or other juristictions bc fuck the govt thinking we need protection from the evil crypto so no one can make it and its alot easier to tade all this volitlity and its 24/7 so no srewing with prices when ppl cant trade. All anouncem ents on the stocks shoul be mid day so you can react not over a weekend. Everyone will be given access to financials on line and check hive to make sure the on chain transactoins match and the off chain real estate etc will be listed with paper work to review. We plan on by year 3 buying at least 500 units in blk 30 something eps and distribution of 3% an always growing it so it liekly will do very well, 5000 units in IEP - 40K a year which wehre operations are like a hedge fund more than a asset manager, acumulation of belp ther oz fund to defer gains and creat e a massive loss by using gross gains and that offset s all cap gians until 2926 when you than must have a way to counteract them or just pay the tax and later on if the unit value 7 x in 10 years no gain at all. Also various farm land investments are interesting and are structured like a share of the proceeds and rent. returns from 10=-20% 10 year plus terms. Ember bitcoin defense fund , ember metavese fund, ember nft fund, ember defi fund all non custodial and will contribute my investment in ember fund safe as well as the other 20-30K in start ups other than my splinterlands units keeping those. Have had 4 of the onse i picked go public with a 5th coming soon. Have soome cool investments prob more than 20K may be 40 or 50K which will add collectibles in cars, cards, other, groundfloor will be bridge loans, ibkr - add iep, blk , brmk, nep, bip, epd, et, aapl, microsoft, googl, tesla, private stock ripple labs and many more shares in private companies which we can use crumchbase to review them. The private offerings seem to be superior in real estate as well as start ups as they are 1202 stock no gain most meet the req as well as there are any private op zone funds some are really cool likre a hemp cannibis farm in USVI, also syndications the usvi and looking in PR and ST croix or costa rica as I plan on relocating sick of thsi shit the islands are so much differnt you get on island time and no one is rushing its great and next 1-2 years ill be more comfortable with my cash flow from the money I have which should be 100-150K net more than enough to just pursue things whether they pay or not like scuba diving so i can try to find cool shit and salvage it. Build a pole barn to live in with pannoramic views and a roof that is slightly inclined and collects rain water as well as retracts to a open sky. Fit the place with comuters to run nodes and solar to power everthing as well as lease space for miners for no rent but 5% of profits in btc or what ever coin. Will be operating nodes as a serive. Soon i will be buying a lot more nodes if my sals check of 100K ever comes from the delays apt sale and was putting half into spl half to pay the rest of my loc i used to fiance my BCKC Capital comapny which started with 100K and is worth like 600-700k now in 3.5 years this entity may be contributed up to 49% of it, Im going to draw out my plans im thinking of post a link to the TribVest site not tribal dex but that is where we will have a linkto on our outpost which will be for members to post and get a full upvote and we will vote 75% are own posts and 25% partners posts to feed there projects and in return get equity. I think im going to ask ppl if thet would trade x equity for ex capital and i would just vote it on posts they made until the agreed amount was reached and the contract will end or be renegotiated. Also will rent snall woode sheds with a security deposit 1/2 sheds value and rent of 20 bucks a month and free power in exchange for a profit share of the operation and silent equity partner on the smae level but notinveolved in day to day. Start a new digital asset with gift card codes on NFTs at a discount pairing say amazon vs ebay cards or paypal vs cash app different restaurants etc. The nft will have private key that is sealed and provided you should change the key or move to a new address right away. Various types of NFTs will be released to groups of unit holders giving some a month of boosted returns and some exra equity or profits interests. The group will never go beyoned 35 so I can file form D 506b not worrying about any non accredited bc they could all be non accredited and at a 10K min we start 350K 20K 700K which can do some damage get us a bunch of investments to grow it 2-3X in 3-5 years then also purchase houses rentals using first time hope buyer grant and then selling a buy option no expiration but once 5 years is up you wait two and keep getting free 11K grants every two years and to get as many as possible put ppl on a rotation. Streaming content of coning over crazy battles while being redicoulous but provide good info on a are own twitch plus the SPL twitch. We will stream content 24/7 if we have 35 ppl it should be easy we figure out the best foramat get sponsors on for new games etc or guilds to bring in exchanges to list on and get extra cash for it. Are equity units will be separate from the governance token units which only are for voting so we can be a massive machine with 35 heads to make the best decision we can a have a discussion about it then vote on when to do. Especially if we cat in the 50- 100K min range. The is a new offering i was looking at a btc priviate miner start up. Like another one on the club paid ppl so much money they were profitable at 2000 a btc so raing it in. Whish i did it. Have some nots funds 12%, will be getting into tax lein fund and mhp fund each 50K min. If are fund can generate 10K per month in incmoe every quarter we can buy a 40K interest in private real estate or other type of passive income that will sail everyone into early retirement. The ability to get money on line has gone up so far that no wonder ppl quit a 20 per hour job when you take home half when i take all mine home get wild tax breaks for say tturning a churh into a mixed use building and mining the basensbt which will heat parts of the house qualifying to a credit of 20% on the whole building. I know so many loopholes and deff put them to use in my situaton. I do most of my work or trading in my solo so i dont produce taxable income or at least not over 15K agi which i need for medicaid worth 15K to me even though i make much more in my ira its not ounted only the 15K i make sure i leave out each year so i can renew all my benefits health 15K benefit, cell and internet 1200 water 300 , Rent was getting a 2600 apt in the nicest building for 1000 off bc the agi met the test even thoug i pulled in way more use that solo to fuck with your ur income like you could max it deduct it and loan it back to yourself for 5 years or 10 for a property. being able to pull 50K use it out side the ira on say a re investmet is not a bad choice as more money goes in to it. Same with hedging 401k stock with short index futures protected loss with calls which will have a mtm election on futures and stocks so and short position can oly lose x but can drop like a rock. Ill be more involved in creating a trading team to just rade spl assets like cards and lp pools lok for arbitrage , stake some on pancakeswap farm 500 staked in each LP pair to get new tokens just launching. Also a project to take on is a decentralized on ramp no kyc have the enitiy in a place where no one can seee who owns it then just sell sps reload able debit cards that hold sps and switch to cash when you swip and automatically deposit on the card if you set to do so. Eveyone will get a metal designed with a nft of your choice from SPL. mainly create a club with ppl that have sinificant stakes the do smaller limit funds where wecharge a 8% promote 1.5% fee to manage and try to get guilds to becomr partners by swapping pwnerdhip in guild units and want to gain control of any we can to have incluance like we need 10X spt i hsve 5.5 million to get close we need 50 mil spt and some will be srsked some in the lp whitch we could add extras like insurance up tp x for [remiums which we alreadt have pppl lined ut to buy packaged polices so i hold no risk. Also everyone will get keymsn life insurance t0 pay for the buy out incsde you pass. evey gp eill have access to view the treasury but all arenneded to approve by signing off on any movement of money. in 5-10 years gosl is to hsve all retiee or replscd there salary uding a team to come up eith quant models, bots and manage 25 xxounts eaxh in brawls accumulstre mad gladiou filled accts to sell to nre plsyers. Also may be sble ro use a debit card thst is linked snd hsd a trade forunbank then unbnk sells it automaticallty to spl for unbank so thety dont suck it in. its a real poasibility been talking to both to dsee what needs to be done for me to run it aqnd get my money from s 5 cent fee and freev-500 a year feesn baswd on card level in ny its a on ramp to

SPS rewards will be gauged by how much SPS you have staked in the near-future

This is too arbitrary, having Sps in stake is going to have more value than the nft itself to get the rewards, it doesn't seem right, because the most important asset in the game are the cards, not the Sps.
