MindSports IO
I'm a big fan of cerebral warfare and a seasoned Backgammon veteran, taught to me by my Grandfather as a child, but this concept could have only come from the mind of a Chess Master. A 3 times XiangQi World Champion, Chess Master.
An Elite Mindsports Community
It's an elegant case use for BlockChain, which provides laudable and simple solutions to age old challenges. Fairness, transparency, administration.. cheating, or shall we say, biased influence. Decentralisation offers a huge draw for the MindAthlete. The need for a single point of governance is removed. Users can self govern games. It's Smart, so it's transparent.
The Ethereum Network
The network is increasingly relied on by a range of leading BlockChain projects to provide the cornerstones of a trustless system where smart contracts automatically fulfill their objectives without the touch, bias or delay of a human hand. For MindsSports tournaments like Chess, Go, XiangQi, Bridge, Backgammon and many more, it's an easy sell in for intellectual game players.
Ethereum provides an efficient, seamless and competition worthy support mechanism which is impartial, objective, trusted, secure, transparent and impossible to argue with. (This has fringe benefits for the emotional state of all players involved and helps build an essential level of trust in the platform.) This brings with it a distinct advantage and one which will certainly attract the highest level of Games Masters & Champions from around the world.
MindSports IO
It's clever, well thought out and expandable. Users can propose and vote for future games which the MindSports IO team will make into a reality. There are various components which make up the compendium so let's have a look at the 3 main features and the benefits they offer.
Decentralized Mind Sports Hosting, Playing and Network Governance
There are 3 main ways to interact with the network and earn Mind Tokens.
Host & Join Rated Tournaments
Play & Win Mind Tokens
Vote & Govern the Network
Social Gaming Network
Like all online communities, Steemit included, users are attracted to the potential for interactions with people who have similar interests and maybe meeting and befriending the occasional Games Master. Sharing ideas, making friends and discussing strategy, or just catching up on current affairs have an important role to play in any community of shared interest and in this respect, a dedicated Whisper layer has been implemented for messaging. It's a vital component and one that not all Ethereum BlockChain projects choose to include.
Technical Layers
The platform is composed of interlocking technologies and so is an advanced hybrid project. This has distinct advantages, bringing the best of each technology to create a unique and effective, interlocking ecosystem.
Front End Client JS / HTML / CSS
IPFS net / file storage system
(Ethereum) BlockChain Smart Contracts
Whisper P2P Communication
Comparisons With Competitors
Like all good disruptive ideas, MindSports IO stacks up well in terms of features. The main online games platforms like chess.com, premium chess & mindsports academy already offer online gaming, but none of them can offer the unique features of MindSports IO sophisticated system. They are all centralised, they are all admin controlled, none of them have BlockChain support, a governance system or fund escrow and other than MindSports Academy, they offer few games to the Intellectual Gamer. This is real disruption, which simply means better, more evolved and thus the inheritor of the future. I like it. Long Live the BlockChain Revolution in it's many coloured and socially inclusive, coat.
