This is a quick update on my process of chasing a legendary egg on Aethia blockchain. My first article with deeper explanation: Earn Ethereum - Raise Tamagotchis On Blockchain.
The referral campaign is active for 23 hours more, meaning there is not so much time to join in. Since Aethia eggs have a big potential to make you profits, it would be a waste not to use this opportunity.
Did you know? When your eggs transform into beautiful Ethergotchis you can breed them and make a new, unique one. Similar concept to Cryptokitties, but in Aethia you can breed your animals once in their lifetime. Main purpose of owning an Ethergotchi is to keep him fed and never alone. If you manage to treat your pets good - they will develop better abilities and worth more Ethereum in the end, even reincarnate.
Become Part Of This In Alpha Phase
Actually not even Alpha at this moment. More precise term would be pre-Alpha. Do you understand what that means? You can become a part of a great project like this in its very beginnings. I do realize it is hard to perceive earning on virtual pets, but its a highly possible reality and I'm confident in it.
As you can see, I was playing with some ads. When I realized the potential this project has, I knew I had to do all I could in order to obtain that legendary egg. So I'm doing it now.
This is what my current situation looks like. Meaning I need 245 more people in order to get my legendary egg. Wish me luck and help me ladies and gentlemen :)
In case you didn't know, this is how the eggs gradation works:
3 referrals for a common egg (0.01 ETH)
10 referrals for a uncommon egg (0.05 ETH)
20 referrals for a rare egg (0.20 ETH)
50 referrals for a super rare egg (1.00 ETH)
100 referrals for an epic egg (5.00 ETH)
250 referrals for a mythic egg (20.0 ETH)
500 referrals for a legendary egg (100.0 ETH)
Basically, only thing you need is 3 people and voila, you earned first egg at Aethia.
Get on it right now, and make sure to bring everyone you can. The registration process is quick and brief, meaning everyone will need just a bit of time to go through it. Don't limit yourself, it is still possible in the next 23 hours to earn many eggs.
In case you don't know how, you can try and use AdBtc for example. When you enter the page, only thing you need to decide is on the spot where you want to advertise.
Similar to this:
Most of the methods here include PPC or Pay per click method. If you don't feel like using it, you can advertise yourself cheaper at Mellow Ads.
These are the results I am getting there currently. The amount I've invested is around 30$. Need to mention that was not my only ad there, I had few of them that were more expensive. One thing I'm sure of, it is sure worth it to get that rare eggs on Aethia.
I will make sure to place a copy of Aethia FAQ so you don't have to search for it.
Aethia FAQ:
How big is the Aethia userbase?
Currently there are 60 000 registered unique users (Milestone reached Feb 11th 2018) Update: 118 000 (Feb 13th 2018)
When will you be able to pick up your Aethia egg? When does the alpha start?
You will be able to pick up the egg on February 19th, when the alpha starts
When will the auction house be releaed?
The auction house will be released on March 5th. In the auction house, you can auction Ethergotchi during all stages of their lifecycle.
How is the legendary egg valuated?
Just to confirm: yes , the legendary egg is valuated at 100 ETH, and is handed out to anyone that has 500 legitimate verified referrals.
Does playing Aethia pay you dividends like Ethermons? What are Chi tokens?
Ethergotchi do not 'pay dividends' like Etheremons. Your'gotchi will be able to work and have a career, which pays out in CHI tokens. CHI is the currency used within Aethia, and is a 'regular' ERC-20 token. You could also put your 'gotchi up for auction in the auction house, this feature is scheduled for release on March 5th.
How many interactions does it take to hatch an egg?
It takes exactly six interactions to hatch your egg. The time this takes is a bit less than a day, but you can take your time on this. Each interaction has a different 'cooldown' period in which the egg's inhabitant is a bit exhausted and you will have to wait before you can interact with the egg again.
When does the referral program run out? Will you be able to purchase eggs after the Alpha started?
The referral program runs until February 16th 2018 23:59:59 UTC. Once that's over, there might be one more sale to make sure we get an inverse exponential distribution of 'gotchi rarities in the world. Otherwise, there will no longer be any egg sales from us. It's up to the owners of different 'gotchi to have their 'gotchi mate with each other to bring more eggs into the world. When the stable release comes out, you will be able to request a 'starter' egg for free, though. We do want to make sure you can play the game for free (minus the gas costs for the Ethereum network).
Will the alpha egg be usable after the alpha phase of the game?
The alpha egg is usable during and after the alpha.
Can the omega eggs be considered rarer compared to alpha eggs?
Regarding rarity: the omega egg is indeed rarer than the alpha egg.
How many eggs can an account interact with?
Each account can have a maximum of three eggs to interact with. If you get all three eggs you can get before the alpha (i.e. alpha, omega and referral), you won't be able to get a starter egg for a while.
What is the difference between the alpha and omega egg?
The alpha egg is a 'common' grade egg with a special star alignment. The omega egg is an 'uncommon' grade egg that comes with a specific free toy for the 'gotchi to play with once it hatches. Both eggs are boostable, which means their rarity can be upgraded up to 'super rare' during the alpha (whilst in egg form). They're both limited in the sense that they won't be available after the initial distribution. All higher grade eggs are acquired via referrals; we will hold a special 'balance distribution' sale if the referrals don't result in an inverse exponential curve among the various rarities. All other eggs will have to be created by having your 'gotchi mate with other 'gotchi. Hope that makes sense!
Can alpha and omega eggs be considered unique?
Yes, the alpha and omega 'gotchi series are definitely unique (or well, all 'gotchi are unique!). We will be releasing teasers throughout the week.Aethia has always been intended as long-term game, where you find out more and more about the world, its inhabitants, and the potential for cohabitation with the 'gotchi over time.
Is there a 2FA implemented yet?
The game will mostly run using the player's wallet provider of choice, which they have their authentication layers for. The referral system has no 2FA, but it is something we are looking at.
Will you be able to play the game without buying additional items?
Yes, the game provides players with enough resources to go throughout Aethia without buying additional items. Some things might take a bit longer, but everything is possible.
How are ethergotchis stored? Is the system smart contract based?
Yes, Ethergotchi will reside in your wallet, and from their you can interact with the smart contracts that make up the world of Aethia.
How does mating between two ethergotchis work?
Mating between 'gotchi is a two-step process, or well three, if you count the item. First, you activate an Ethergotchi's mating instincts by using an 'Ethergotchi Mating Potion'. Afterwards, you can start the mating dance with a different 'gotchi. At this point, you stake an amount of ETH; let's say you stake 0.5 ETH. The other 'gotchi's owner then says either yes or no to your mating dance. If that owner says "Yes, let's do this!", he/she gets the 0.5 ETH, and you get the new egg that comes out of the mating ritual.
The one that initiates the mating ritual gets the egg, and the one that receives the dance, gets the ETH. Reincarnation happens instantly if the 'gotchi has led a happy and fulfilled life.
How long do the different stages oft the ethergotchi last?
A 'gotchi's lifespan is static, e.g. the egg stays an egg for six interactions, and the child stage takes 30 days. Its adulthood is also a static amount of time, but that's still a mystery for now!
How can i obtain an egg after the alpha has started?
Well, technically none of the eggs can be obtained after the alpha starts. There's one egg that we will distribute for free, when the stable version of the game is released, and that's the starter egg, which is a tad bit weaker than the common egg.
Is there a mobile version coming up?
Mobile is not supported yet, but we're actively trying to get it available on Android and iPhone! Prepare to hear exciting news on this front soon(ish).
What happens to my 'gotchi' if i have to leave my device for a longer period?
You will be able to leave your 'gotchi at the Daycare for a set amount of CHI per hour, and they'll take care of your Ethergotchi if you have to leave for longer periods.
Are tokens transferable? How does the token system work?
Tokens are indeed transferable. They're ERC-20 tokens. There is a total supply of ten billion CHI, with most of the tokens in hands of the Aethia Crystal Bank. The bank is also the entity that gives players their monthly CHI allowance.
Can your 'gotchi' die?
It's possible that it goes egg => child => adult => dead. But this only occurs if you don't take proper care of your 'gotchi, because then it doesn't have the will to reincarnate. Ethergotchi can only die from starvation and loneliness.
How any people are working on the aethia project? Do you have experience when i comes to game design?
We're with five people, two of us come from indie game studios. We've got experience with game design and game balance.
Is there a roadmap available yet?
There is an internal roadmap document, but not a public-facing one yet. It might be a good idea to publish that as well. The problem with game development is that timing is slightly volatile, and hard deadlines are difficult to make.
Is there a chat system planned?
We're thinking about it! There are a lot of pros and cons with having a chat system in-game, especially games that are deployed worldwide.
Will there be such a thing comparable to a pokedex?
We will be working on having a similar system to the Pokédex, but that's something for the next phase.
If You Need Connection:
Hopefully I gave you some insight and ideas how Aethia works. Not just that, the goal of this post was to motivate you in marketing sense as well. I will be glad if you finish with some fresh ideas from this text.
Lets make as many Ethergotchis as we can. Why would anyone miss an opportunity like this? Only potential reason could be The disbelief.
Oh and btw, this is how my full referral link looks like:
