BitCrystals Token Sale

Spells of Genesis
3 min readJul 27, 2015

We have received a lot of support from different crypto communities that are enthusiast about Spells of Genesis and our BitCrystals Token Sale.

By popular demand from the community, we understood how important it was for our supporters that we accept multiple cryptocurrencies during the Token Sale. In order to allow this, we have decided to partner with ShapeShift and Vanbex and switch to a different system.

Advantages for backers

ShapeShift is a secure, reliable, and well known service that allows exchanging more than 40 different cryptocurrencies including SWARM, GEMZ, SJCX, XRP, XCP and many more. Therefore, using ShapeShift’s backend for the Token Sale will make it easy for the project backers to participate.

The Token Sale date

We also wanted to make sure that all the fine details were being taken in consideration before the sale start so we decided to postpone it by one week. This additional week will allow us, together with Vanbex and Shapeshift, to develop and set up a solid, easy to use, crowdfund system.

The BitCrystals Token Sale in brief

  • The BitCrystals Token Sale will start on Tuesday, August 4th, 2015.
  • It will be hosted at http://tokensale.bitcrystals.com, the site will launch shortly.
  • The Token Sale will finish after 30 days or when all the BitCrystals will be sold, whichever occurs first.
  • The BitCrystals Token Sale will be hosted by us in partnership with ShapeShift.
  • Payment options with Altcoins and BTC: Shapeshift allows accepting more than 40 different altcoins, BTC are also accepted.

Milestones

As an extra guarantee for our backers, the funds will be held in a multisig wallet and only released when each of the milestones below are completed.

#1 End of Token Sale (release 25% of funds raised) Swapbots (trading card vending machines) configured to accept BitCrystals only. Alpha version of Spells of Genesis playable in a web browser, all the blockchain-based trading cards sold until then will be playable in Moonga.

#2 October 2015 (release 25% of funds raised)
Early beta version of Spells of Genesis with 10 different game levels. The game will allow to connect a Counterwallet and transfer card assets. Extra levels will be available. For example if a player owns 100 GEMZ a special GEMZ level will be playable. A player will be able to view their assets on Counterwallet as digital game items.

#3 February 2016 (release 25% of funds raised)
Fully featured beta version of the game with all components present. Several levels will be playable, the game interface and story will be complete. The game will have a wallet and payment method.

#4 April 2016 (release 25% of funds raised)

Final development of the game with over 100 game levels and 150+ cards. With the ability for players to play in groups (guilds), to create their own levels, characters as digital asset, and also trade them.

For a fully featured game as per milestone #4 we estimate the cost to be around $200,000 US. We will keep developing Spells of Genesis as much as we can with the funds that are raised, however much that is. If we raise very little completion of the milestones may take longer than expected and we will have to review them or get the community to vote for priorities.

We are happy to have you with us! Thank you for your support!
