NicolasSierro··on What is dapp and why is it important?
I can support for the article's content & add examples from gaming & collectibles. The related community is partially on discord & telegram, e.g. https://t.me/BlockchainGamesCommunity, https://t.me/egamersio https://t.me/cryptobitgames. Writing, you have the experience (and can do it better ;-) )
NicolasSierro··on What is dapp and why is it important?
Good explanation of Dapp features & benefits from a “decentralized backend”. I would add a frontend aspect to the “Flawless incorporation with cryptocurrency”: Dapps allow strong blockchain wallet integration. A Dapp can easily triggered a blockchain (trans)action done by the wallet (e.g. payment, send a token to a friend, trade a gaming asset, or breed Cryptokitties <3 ). How? By having the Dapp & the wallet together. You can integrate a wallet within your Dapp, but it is often more user-friendly to have several Dapps working with the same “external” blockchain wallet. For a lot of Dapps that are browser-based: a) Standard browser & wallet as plugin (e.g. Metamask, Scatter, TronLink); or b) wallet with browsing features (e.g. Cipher, Trustwallet, Casa Tookan, Toshi-coinbase)
NicolasSierro··on AMA TIME – For blockchain gaming the most exciting thing is interoperability
Nice action and indeed interoperability is important for blockchain in gaming. They were several examples that could be inspiring (historically order): - In 2016 already 2 cards/tokens of https://spellsofgenesis.com/ were playable in another game, http://www.mandelduck.com/sarutobi/ - In the same ecosystem (on Counterparty/Bitcoin), several games & collections of https://app.bookoforbs.com/ have common playable items: Spells of Genesis, Force of Will, Age of Rust, Mafia Wars, etc. even with other games like Augmentors, or in another blockchain like with Beyond the Void (on Ethereum) - Cryptokitties.co allowed kittyhats.co and then promoted the concept with https://www.cryptokitties.co/kittyverse - Alto made a challenge contest for its crypto-items usable in multiple games https://contest.alto.io/ - Enjin followed the trends with their “metaverse” initiative - etc. So the concept is old, but had nice feedback from players
