⚡️ AMA Summary ⚡️

Vouchers:

  • People who stake over 1M SPS will not be capped on how many vouchers they earn anymore
    • This was to prevent Matt and Aggy from earning too many vouchers in the early stages of the Voucher token airdrops
    • Now, it hinders big SPS buyers as they had to create multiple accounts to stake their full amount of SPS
    • This change was released right before the last Voucher airdrop

Waka Spiritblade Sale:

  • There is no limit to how many Waka Spiritblade cards a single person can buy
    • People would just make multiple accounts if this restriction was enforced
  • There will be no restriction for bots to buy the cards
    • The price requirements are enough of a gatekeeper to prevent someone buying all the cards
  • The new Special Shop page is the default view currently
    • It is a temporary page to promote the current colloboration with Waka
    • Will default back to the Chaos Legion page once the promotion ends/sells out

Mobile App Development:

  • Aggroed wants to spin up a whole mobile development team, but still being discussed
  • New development would replace the current mobile app
  • Reminder, there is already a v2.0 of the current browser application being built that will be more scalable and more mobile-friendly

Skins:

  • Team would love to introduce more skins but it is more complicated than just releasing the new artwork
  • Would like to transition into animations
  • Don't want a ton of skins released to distract people from understanding the different characters
  • All artwork in new card sets will be created with skins in mind
    • Foundation will be set to make skin releases simple and quick

Revisions To Reward System:

  • There are different phases planned for revising the reward system
  • Modern/Wild ranked formats will probably be the first step to improving the reward system
  • No ETA on when full revisions will be rolled out

I was trying to look for the post where this was talked about, but couldn't find it.

Basically, these accounts aren't earning any Voucher or SPS airdrops since they are the bridge accounts.

The voucher seems to be the next main token in the game. Will DEC phase out slowly? Would be great if the functions of the different tokens can be explained in some way.

Let me try to explain it:

  • DEC: DEC will always be the main currency that the whole Splinterlands economy uses and is based off of. The whole in-game market uses it, and once more assets are added to the market, they will most likely be bought/sold with DEC as well.

  • SPS: SPS is our governance token. I personally don't think it should be used for anything other than for staking or for governance, but the team has added temporary utility for it by allowing it to be sold for Credits, or used for certain situations like this Waka promotion. However, once SPS Validators are live and running, I'm sure we will see these situations decrease as it will be mainly used for SPS proposals, governance, and staking.

  • Vouchers: Vouchers were also introduced mainly to give SPS more utility, or more specifically, to encourage players to stake their SPS. Any new asset that gets introduced into the game will most likely require Vouchers going forward. Think of it as the entry fee for "premium" assets. Anything basic most likely won't require these tokens, like the current Chaos Legion general sale.

the wacka flocka advertisement has the same problem as the advertising posters in thailand, as an ignorant person you can't really see what it's about.
wacka doesn't even have a link to the game in the ad, only a link to the forum! (and strictly speaking, the forum isn't even from splinterlands, so is he promoting hive?)

the most important features (in my opinion)
are not recognizable, a game with which you can earn money, and collect rare cards!

in thailand you can't tell at all what the advertisement is about, it might as well be a series, a movie. a comic or anything else!

how useful is an advertisement where the potential customer first has to google to find out what it's about?

don't get me wrong, i think it's cool that something is happening at all, that it's moving forward, but i can't understand this marketing at all.

would you come at an advertising poster, where you see strange cartoon characters and the name you have never heard, on the idea to google it times? i think not!
