Flight of the Navigator Update v9
Evading Invading Invaders
Updates-
Hey Crushers. Thought it was a good time to jump in and let everyone know where we are in the testing and deployment progress. We have many testers from the group with whom I interact quite frequently, however I’m well aware there exists a real world outside the testing environment, so I wanted to let everyone know where we are, how it’s going, and recent developments.
But first lets not forget we have over 2 Million $CRUSH staked!!
Absolutely amazing!
Testing-
So far so good. Initially we had some bugs to work through, as well as some sluggish gameplay issues we were battling. However the devs being the rockstars they are managed to get that wrapped up and the game is running quite nicely. Currently there are just a few simple things to resolve, so we’re on to integration processes.
Integration-
This is by far the most complex part of the entire platform. We’ve mentioned this a lot, but if we just wanted a casino with crypto payments this would be easy. However we are a DeFi platform that aims to provide as much transparency as possible to centralized gameplay. This is a complex issue as mentioned in an earlier update, however we believe we have solved to problem to keep the platform transparent, safe, and scalable. The most recent issue to solve involved the ability to allow players to claim their funds directly from the smart contract should our UI or sever ever go down for any reason. This is a tough nut to crack as we need to ride the fine line of allowing users to always be able to access their funds without having to go through us, syncing server game data with the blockchain, and preventing bad actors from gaming the system in the mean time. What we’ve developed is an elegant dance between the server data syncing with the blockchain at variable times and changes in bankroll, game play smart contract time-locks to stop bad actors from withdrawing funds that no longer belong to them, and UI workarounds that allow players to retrieve funds at any time. We’ve managed all this while reducing the effective cost of running the system, which means we can also scale more efficiently. It’s a lot, but we have it solved and are implementing as we speak. Long story short, we’re getting close, and it’s turning out better than we hoped. Once we get into testing the live wallet with the updated staking pool, we’ll share another video of this process. Full platform test commencing shortly.
What’s Next?-
Our good friends over at Wizard Financial are cooking up something new and fun for us. Details to be released soon.
Once we roll out the updated Live Wallets contracts for testing, we’re going to launch a contest for our testers to see who can create the best strategy and tutorial videos. Since the rest of our community is unclear on the details of the game, it will be up to them to vote on and pick the winners and who gets the $CRUSH rewards. Details announced soon.
We’ve also begun development on our rad Dice Invaders themed “Crush ‘n Burn Lottery”. We’re developing along side current platform development to avoid delays, without disrupting integration efforts. We’ll announce testing on this when it’s a bit closer to being finished, but development has begun. Spoiler alert, everyone wins with this one.
Good Things Come-
Finally I really just want to say thanks from the bottom of my heart for everyone sticking around. We’re very aware of the elongated timeline. Sometimes when creating a solution that doesn’t currently exist, issues arise that require some solid problem solving, and that can take a bit of time. That being said, what we are creating is absolutely worth it. Bitcrush is completely unique in its function and offering. Our integrations will allow us to scale our solutions with centralized and decentralized games alike, meaning we’ll be able to grow in a way that’s unlike any other system out there. We will truly have a hybrid DeFi gaming platform in a way that no one else does. We without a doubt have the best community in DeFi, and can’t wait to get this to market and make it worth everyone’s time.
Without are doubt, we are all going to:
