GG on SteemEngine
GGM on SteemEngine
We are proud to finally and officially announce the launch of SteemAce.com - a community aiming to connect gamers from all around the world in one huge social platform.
SteemAce was created for the evergrowing number of old and young Gamers that want to share their content or promote other peoples' interesting content.
What kind of content should be posted on SteemAce
SteemAce is open for any gaming content. Be it your new flash game, a comment on the last pro gaming match, or maybe even your own Let‘s Play videos. All of these might be interesting to readers and earn you GG rewards.
In order for SteemAce to grow into a well renowned gaming community it is very important that all posts contain actual gaming content. We set this as the highest priority.
There is nothing wrong with promoting or even advertising something you like – but make sure it is about gaming!
Our moderator team works towards promoting related content, while also flagging content that is completely unrelated to Gaming.
Integrations from Steem Engine
Steem Engine offers us a broad range of different tools for SteemAce.
We will launch with:
- Nitrous a.k.a. Steemace.io - A fork of the Steemit condenser
- ScotTube a.k.a. Tube.Steemace.io - A fork of DTube that features SteemAce video content
- ScotPeak a.k.a AcePeak - You‘ll find GG Token in the list of tribes – so you can view your account feed and payouts both in GG and STEEM!
- Digital Miners – GG can only be mined with the virtual „Good Game Miner“, of which there is only a limited supply of 20,000 available.
Currently, there are no specific plans to implement ScotBB for a forum, though we are not opposed to integrating it in the future when needed.
GG Virtual Token Miner Details
The GGM (Good Game Miner) is now available on the Steem Engine DEX. It has a maximum supply of 20,000, of which the first 3,000 will all be sold at a discount.
- There are 17 winning miners each hour
- GGM has to be staked for mining
- GGM is available for 10 STEEM per GGM
- The first 3,000 GGM are on discount for 8.5 STEEM!
The STEEM generated from these sales will mostly be used to power-up our main account and in small parts for advertisements outside of STEEM.
Initial and Ongoing Distribution of the GG Token:
Initial: 7M
- Team: 710k
- Delegation Account: 190k
- Mute Account: 300k
- Sell Wall: 1.5M
- First Airdrop: ~ 1M
- Future Airdrops: ~ 1.3M
- Bounties: 2M
Ongoing
- Initial Inflation: ~ 1M GG – 14%
- ~ 150.000 GG to PoM (Proof of Mining) Pool (15%)
- ~ 850.000 GG to PoB (Proof of Brain) Pool (85%)
- Unlike with PAL and LEO, the inflation rate drops by 2% each year until it is at 4%, then it will remain at annual 4%.
Initial Airdrop
We‘re airdropping 1M GG Tokens to:
Active authors in Gaming Tags within the last 30 days
- Formula: (Squareroot of SP) * 7
- Cap per User: 2000
Palnet Token Staker
- Formula: (Tokens / 2)
- Cap per User: 3000
Both combined
- Cap per User: 3000
We have kept another 1.3M GG for future airdrops that will target active and loyal SteemAce users.
Our Team
The SteemAce team consists of 3 admins and 5 moderators.
Admins:
The admins are the founders behind the SteemAce community and its Good Game Token and take over administrative duties such as organizing regular contests and raffles, but also act as full moderators and make sure that SteemAce is advertised. They‘re receiving 35.000 GG Tokens + another 5.000 GG Tokens every month for one year.
Moderators:
Our five moderators take over the job of upvoting and rewarding quality content and flagging content unrelated to Gaming. Their incentive is 25.000 GG Tokens + a monthly reward of 5.000 GG Tokens over one year.
Especially in the early stages after SteemAce‘s launch, our whole team will dedicate itself to rewarding anyone contributing to the community in a positive way. Therefore neither the moderators, nor the admins are allowed to take any GG Tokens from their account for at least one year. Instead, these Tokens will be used to Power-Up their accounts and continously review and reward content on SteemAce.
The team's job is to guarantee a positive distribution of our tokens.
Important Accounts
@good.game = An account to reward great gaming content on our platform with SP and PALpower
@bad.game = Mute account with 300.000 GG staked; this account will flag inappropriate and completely unrelated content on SteemAce
@steem-ace.deleg = An account with 190.000 GG staked; it will delegate its power to curators that have done a great job in the past to ensure an even better distribution of rewards to authors
@steem-ace = SteemAce account with 2M GG for Bounties and currently additional Tokens for following Airdrops.
Upvoting with our SP and PALpower
For at least 4 weeks we have rented over 100.000 SP and 7.500 PALpower on @good.game. We will be using it to upvote great content on our platform so it also receives better visibility on other frontends. The value of the upvote depends on the amount of GG tokens staked by the author. The more you have staked the better the upvote you receive becomes.
We will be using a big part of our earnings to power up even more SP on @good.game, so great content gets rewarded even more.
Giving away 120 Splinterlands Beta Boosters
Every day for the next 30 days we will give away 4 Splinterlands Beta Boosters to 4 different GG Token Stakers. Stake more GG and increase your chance of winning!
(Members of our team are excluded from the giveaway.)
After the 30 days we will do more giveaways. We have a lot of different ideas.
You see it is worth to stake GG and being active!
The future of SteemAce
Making sure that the word spreads and that SteemAce is adopted not only by the community of Steem, but also by a much broader audience - the Crypto world and even the general public - we aim to market SteemAce to outsiders of the Steem blockchain in the future when we believe it's time for a bigger adoption. That also helps the whole Steem economy.
Our GG Tokens for Bounties are also part of it.
Bounties
We will be using 2M tokens for bounties over the course of the next years. These include multiple things:
Promoting Steem and SteemAce to gamers outside of Steem. We want to give new users an incentive to join SteemAce and Steem.
Rewarding the tokens in contests and tournaments (e.g. Splinterlands)
Sell Wall
We have created a sell wall of 1.5M Tokens for a price of 1 Steem each. It gives the possibility to distribute our Tokens even more in the future and we can use the revenue to grow and reward our community further more.

Congratulations on launching your community, and thanks for the airdrop!
Although it is a bit disconcerting that so many new communities are choosing to use staked PAL as a metric for an airdrop. Belief in PAL doesn't necessarily equate to you potentially being a good user to stake into a completely different new community.
You may have issues with PAL that cause you to decide to sell the PAL. Or you could have sold it before you even really understood what it was. You could have also just never staked it, because you haven't really checked out PAL yet. Or you could just dislike the fact that it's a general community and to post in it you have to sacrifice a keyword for something that's not really related to the subject of the article.
In the same vein, you could have just decided to buy a bunch of PAL just so you can profit from that new community, possibly even in one of the minor price drops.
Or you could just not be a true believer in PAL. Maybe you have your PAL on the market to sell at a spike.
Point is that there are a ton of reasons. Glad you at least have some extra plans for an airdrop that take more into account than PAL though.
Decided to stake my GG and put in an order for a bit more. Might add some extra buy orders in lower.
If you were to design a community and have an airdrop, how would YOU do it?
Spider based on tags for maybe the last 6 months, taking powered up Steem and other coins in as a factor maybe? Maybe consider comments and the likelihood of them getting a reply and upvote from the author and random users. It depends on the platform. If it was a trading platform, I might have to actually consider various times in their wallet history when they transferred money to an exchange, then later transferred money back. I guess the best metric would probably be interaction with the community based on tags. So, if it was trading, I would check trading related tags, who commented how much, how likely they were to get a reply, how likely they were to get an upvote on that reply from the OP and for how much, and how likely they were to get a random upvote, weighting it against repeated upvotes to attempt to avoid bots.
It's not even smart to power up PAL on your main account as the difference between PAL Vote Power and Steem Vote Power will be completely different.
Many are building alt accounts for each tribe which is becoming silly imo but you loss more than 50% of your voting power if you don't do it in most cases. Even more on tribes like SteemAce that is even more niche.
Yeah...I was kinda worried about it when PAL first started, because it creates an incentive to curate PAL more than non-PAL posts. I didn't really consider making a secondary account to vote on PAL with though.
You either lose that PAL upvote, or you only vote PAL posts, or you create a secondary account to only upvote PAL posts.
Once more of these communities popped up though, I started to think that it just means that you will not be able to use all your capability to use PAL, and most people won't. That means that the rewards for those communities will be a bit more, because the pool is smaller. That also means the abuse could possibly be worse.
I'm not sure what this is all gonna mean yet. I think possibly these communities might be a great way for some to earn in some niches...but they are also their own little fiefdoms with the associated troubles.
With more communities, it is more of a mess to manage. If you just curate Pal you potentially alienate many users. Pal is also the best case scenario, when you start looking at other tribes that are niche, it becomes even more of a problem.
Imagine only curating SteemAce? You would be limited to only gaming posts, or you would waste your SteemAce voting power if you went outside of that niche as your Steem voting power would become out of sync.
Even more of a problem when you have a lot of stake, and don't want to vote everything for $3 on Steem, yet anything less than your 100% on SteemAce/Pal/SteemLeo and other tribes is pathetically low.
I've seen a lot of people start making alt accounts to handle their voting power on different tribes, but this means 2-10 additional accounts just to manage your voting power on these tribes. A good example, my PAL power was always 97-100%, yet my Steem voting power is usually 88%-100%. They usually differ by 10% and my PAL is frequently 100% for hours wasting a vast majority.
There is just so much cognitive load to handle these tribes, and that's not just min/maxing either, when you lose half your voting power it isn't about min-maxing.
Clearly you just need to buy a fuckton more of every coin in existence. :P
It actually really sucks when someone with a massive stake upvotes you with like 1% or something, and it's like a penny. Like how shitty was my comment? Even worse when they don't even reply. If you're gonna give a shitty vote that suggests that a comment is shit, then at least say something.
I guess the only solution is botted secondary accounts. But then how do you decide how much to vote? Maybe some kinda interface that shows what posts you upvoted that have certain tags, like with palnet or whatever, and let you set how much you upvote with your secondary?
I wouldn't take it personally, many people don't vote comments high.
It's a huge pain and stupid problem to have to deal with.
Yeah, I've moved to upvoting comments at like 30%, just so I have more VP for posts. But I pick and choose how much to upvote based on how I feel they contributed, whether or not I agree with them. Still trying to build up my SP so those upvotes suck a little less though in their actual payout though.
HF20 really made voting for comments suck.
In the past, if I voted you when I repies (which is usually well within 15 minutes, for example this is 6 minutes) I would give more to you, which is fine. Now it gets returned to the pool, so my influence is taxed based on how responsive I am.
It's time to pick up my steemmonsters again!!
A very great incentives of booster packs for those who're gaming /geek, especially in stemmmonsters :D
This whitepaper has more details than others and even highlights the futures plan which I never seen before.
Amazing initiative, you guys should look into the possibility of embedding @vimm gaming streams in posts published on steemace, @chiren get in touch with these guys :p
That would definitely be something we are interested in, a streaming site for our community with gaming streams only.
Hey @thebluewin, I embedded the stream in the post that is generated from @vimm it shows as an unsupported embedded (as it does on steemit). Steemit.com automatically does this with embedded players (with the exception of youtube, dtube, twitch etc) so if steemace started from the opensource version of steemit.com you should probably look somewhere in the config files to whitelist embedded vimm streams. Example of how it looks like now: https://www.steemace.io/vimmtv/@foreveraverage/046e64136b29bd62d8bd0cb4fb221ff1-vimmtv
I am looking for that option. I found the file and am working on finding out how to include it. Vimm will be available on our frontend posts in the next few days (hopefully today).
@foreveraverage Unfortunately it is a bit more complicated than thought. There are many files involved so it will take some time to integrate it.
Thank you for the airdrop!
I instantly bought more GG 😅
Really cool. Will definitely be using this tag with all my gaming content.
Thinking in participate in this project with some mobile gaming vids and reviews.
Let's make a success of it.
Greetings from Mexico.

This is really cool.
I have no words, except that I am going to probably stake my share of the airdrop, thanks for that btw.
So SteemAce is going to compete against Battlegames.
Let the best win !!!
Good to know who is behind this project . I also bought a couple of more token :) Most of my ace i delegated to @helpie-caster ;-)
Good tribe to be!!.gif)
Was just a matter of time before a gaming tribe popped up! Looking forward to see how this goes. I still will be posting a gaming video on the occasion so I'll give this tribe a try.
