Special Guests

Cryptoeater - Aqualis DAO:

  • Aqualis DAO is an upcoming DeFi platform on the Ethereum blockchain
    • Team plans to integrate on BSC soon after launch
  • Aqualis utilizes a unique asset multi-utilization algorithm to dynamically ensure all funds in the ecosystem are used as efficiently as possible
    • Allows users to not manually move their funds around while chasing best yield farming rewards
  • Phase #1 launch is planned for January
    • Phase #1 will include a fully functional stablecoin AMM and lending platform
  • Whitelist Sale registration is currently ongoing

Neal McSpadden - SPS Proposal Discussion:

  • Disclaimer: Neal is a valued community member; he does not represent the DAO, community, etc
    • His feedback is very insightful and valuable as a whole!
  • SPS Governance Proposal - Adjust Rewards Based on Card Level
    • This has been a four year exploit that was attempted to be fixed by CP
    • However, CP didn't solve the issue as players weren't incentivized to level up cards to increase their CP
    • Instead, this SPS Proposal is the next step to push players to level up their cards so they aren't playing with extremely low levels in higher leagues
  • Neal thinks this is more of a patch rather than a fix
    • Main problem lies in the ranking system rather than the earning system
    • Modifying the ranking system takes a ton more effort and time so this proposal will act like a temporary band-aid
  • Neal and Aggroed are both supporters of this SPS proposal as they believe it should continue to incentivize leveling up cards and competing at higher leagues

What happens to those who already own HIVE accounts? Can we simply login with Keychain or do we have to go out of our way and act like a bunch of Web 2 users and later connect a HIVE account?

You need to create an account that way you pin an email address to your account. Once you create your account and verify your email, you can connect your Hive wallet to your account!

The GLS site is live by the way: https://goals.genesisleaguesports.com/

I was sooooo pissed off when I tried to buy some cards with Paypal then the KYC screen came up, but it's not a bad process like Coinbase. The AI confirmed my ID right away and I didn't miss out on the presale because of the KYC. I still don't like KYC though even though I use my real first and last name as my HIVE ID.

if you know the proposal is a band aid going on top of 4 other band aids that didn't fix the issue then WHY do it? And if you are going to do it it should be by BCX count and not level with each BCX level added getting you closer to max earning which is max level
also rent-to-own would be of huge benefit to the small money gamers

Actually, that could work, with the recent implementation of split delegation rewards for those who own cards and have other people play them for rewards. I don't see why a similar reward delegation could not be made for some of the won rewards to be placed toward a card ownership delegation.
