2miners NANO payout to RVN question

So, I get the idea of using 2miners to get paid out in nano to avoid the gas fees and for a ~230Mh rig like myself the higher gas prices made me want to switch back solely to RVN, but this new payout structure is interesting to save some power. However, I was wondering what…

Planet Sandbox Eyes Initial NFT Offering (INO) on DarePlay and Babylons

Popular gaming platform Planet Sandbox has announced it’s Initial NFT Offering (INO) on DarePlay as the platform’s inaugural launch and later on Babylons, a popular BSC-centric NFT marketplace. The DarePlay launch will occur on November 10, with a whitelist opening on November 1 for $DNFT and $PSB holders. Babylon’s sale is slated for November 12. DarePlay’s highly anticipated platform will offer ready-made in-game NFT marketplaces and host a wide range of NFT games. Targeting to be the universal NFT 2.0 protocol for digital assets, DarePlay solves many pain points of NFT 1.0, including many of the hidden risks around owning and transferring NFTs. Babylon is equally impressive. As a next-gen community-governed NFT marketplace and a leading blockchain gaming aggregator on BSC, Babylon offers low gas fees, fast transactions and an easy-to-use minting platform where a user can create green NFTs, collect from amazing artists and trade their favorite gaming NFTs – all backed by a fully functional DAO fueled by $BABI tokens. Mystery Box Sales Fuel Planet Sandbox Ecosystem Planet Sandbox will be revealing new Mystery Boxes which will offer gamers a collection of weapons with varying rarity (5 levels), stars, and special skills. The limited special pricing means that this is the best and first chance for collectors to obtain these assets at a cheaper price than when the game is launched. Users will be able to own and carry higher-tiered weapons into Survival PvP Mode, sell NFT weapons from the boxes on the marketplace, and even rent guns to other players. The Mystery Box sale will be exclusive to DarePlay and Babylons, where users can easily access and instantly purchase boxes at a reasonable price. Overview of the INO on DarePlay In total, there will be 1,500 Planet Sandbox Mystery Boxes for sale for 0.2 BNB each. Purchasers must use BNB to make the purchase. The 1,500 boxes will be divided into three pools. First, $DNFT holders (who have staked for 10 days in advance) will have access to 750 boxes with various tiers explained here. There will be a lottery system if there are more users than NFTs or spots available. Second, $PSB holders will have access to 450 boxes based on a lottery system. Lastly, there will be a community bucket where 300 boxes will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis. Overview of the INO on Bablyons Slated for November 12, 2021, Babylons will offer 2,000 Mystery Boxes. Interested parties in the general sale must qualify by being existing $PSB or $BABI holders or by participating in the ongoing Gleam campaign. The listing price for each box will also be 0.2 BNB with varying requirements for each bucket. First, 1,000 boxes will be listed for 0.2 BNB and will only be available for Bablyons community members currently holding 3,000 $BABI. Second, 600 boxes will be sold for $PSB holders as a first-come-first-served offering. Last, the 400 remaining boxes will be determined through the Gleam lottery, where 500 addresses will be chosen to enter the round. More information about each sale can be found by following Planet Sandbox’s official social media channels.

HeroVerse Release Its Official Game: Token Price Ramps Up Even Higher

HeroVerse’s Journey More than a month after its IDO, HeroVerse is currently well on its way to being a success story for our Development Team. On the IDO day, the native token of HeroVerse, $HER, successfully reached Top 1 on Dextool only after 17 minutes of debuting. On top of that, HeroVerse firmly commits to their published roadmap, which establishes solid trust with their users. Starting with the Hero Sale Ver1, 10,000 boxes were, at first, expected to sell in 7 days but successfully sold out in only 1 day, which shows the great interest from its players. Followed by the Hero Sale, HeroVerse continues launching its Marketplace creating an official trading platform for its users; and many more blockchain-related features such as Staking and Hero Farming Mechanism. A few weeks ago, in the middle of October, HeroVerse released its Beta Test on multiple devices (mobile and PC). HeroVerse Beta Test attracted more than 10,000 downloads and has over 2,000 active players. Major users joining the Beta Test are giving thousands of positive feedback about its ready-to-play game with stunning graphics. Posted by a user from HeroVerse’s community In addition, HeroVerse does not only provide an addictive gameplay concept but also an easy to earn mechanism. Normally, a game will last for about two to three minutes, which means in an hour, each player can continuously play at least 20 games and receive 20 rewards. There would be no other easy money than this. Posted by a user from HeroVerse’s community Furthermore, on November 7, HeroVerse listed its in-game token, $HES, and received noticeable recognition including Top 1 Biggest Gainer on CoinMarketCap and Top 1 Trending on Dextool. HeroVerse’s Game Release Recently, HeroVerse has just announced the release date of its official product at 7:00 AM UTC, November 11. After the surge in $HES token price, in game tokens, after listing, HeroVerse is considered such a promising play-and-earn project for its users. As a celebration for its game release, HeroVerse is offering early players with multiple in-game events, which attracts more newcomers to its project. Game Concept Campaign The campaign is divided into chapters, each chapter is a location on the map consisting of many challenges and rewards hidden within. Players need to win at all milestones to complete a chapter and unlock the next ones. Each chapter has diverse monsters, special bosses, and fascinating treasures for players to discover. Campaign Mode Daily Raid After completing a chapter, bosses in that chapter will be unlocked. Every day players will have 1 chance to fight with a boss as they like. They will compete with other players to defeat the boss. The longer the players survive, the bigger the reward will be. Daily Raid Mode Apart from the Campaign and Daily Raid Modes, HeroVerse also provides users with Tower, PvP and Clan Modes. However, only Campaign and Daily Raid concepts are available now. The other three concepts will be launched next year according to the roadmap. Game Economy Tokenomics Heroverse has two types of tokens: $HER and $HES. $HER are pre-minted tokens that the holders use to buy Heroes and Hero Box. Due to the limited feature of this token type, HeroVerse can control the pricing process of the pre-minted token during the project. $HES is the in-game currency that players can earn while playing or farming heroes and can spend on almost all game features. Play And Earn Play And Earn Model instead of Play To Earn Model, the game focuses more on the gameplay and increases the player’s experiences. HeroVerse wants to bring the community the game battles which can give the players joy and financial success. Closing Thoughts Up to now, HeroVerse has achieved remarkable success during its early and mid development stages. The Development Team will launch its Official Product at 7:00 AM UTC November 11 with various potentials ahead. To celebrate the Official Game Release, HeroVerse will run a Welcome New Members in-game event for their very first players to join. Any players joining the game in the first week after launching will receive an extra amount of $HES, which is a great chance for users to win a big bag of $HES tokens. Needless to say, the game is on the way to prove to be a success story for its development team and a success project for its loyal users.

Bitcoin Mining Firm Argo Blockchain To Raise $57.5M Via Senior Notes Offering

The bitcoin mining firm Argo Blockchain filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a proposed public offering due November 30, 2026, with an interest rate of 8.75% Senior Notes. The UK-based firm plans to raise a total of $57.5 million through the Notes sales to the public, offering them in increments of $25. They intend to use the funds for the construction of Argo’s Texas crypto mining facility, which aims to power 90% of operations through renewable sources and is estimated to cost around $2 billion. Our mining strategy is to cost-effectively acquire and deploy the most advanced mining technology solutions in North American facilities that utilize predominantly renewable and inexpensive power. The Company will also use the net proceeds “for general corporate purposes” and “potentially acquisitions of, or investments in, complementary businesses” as they are exploring “strategic initiatives in software and other technologies in the wider cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors.” In connection with the Offering, Argo has applied to list the Notes on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “ARBKL.” If approved for listing, trading on Nasdaq is expected to commence within 30 business days after the Notes are first issued. The filing states that Argo Blockchain completed its U.S. Initial public offering of 8,525,000 American Depositary Shares on September priced at $15,00 per share, having net proceeds of approximately $114.8 million. Later in the month, they held 1,836 Bitcoin and Bitcoin Equivalent “valued at approximately £58.7 ($79,5) million based on prices as of such date”, with total revenue of £50.4 ($68,3) million, which translated into a growth rate of 238% “over £14.9 ($20.2) million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020”. Related Reading | Argo Blockchain Secures $20 Million Loan with Galaxy Digital LP Bitcoin Mining Revenue And Strategy Argo’s mining revenue rose 32%, a total of $9,75 million in October, having mined 167 bitcoin or bitcoin equivalent, compared to 165 in September with revenue of $7,59 million. The month’s income was generated at a Bitcoin Mining Margin of roughly 84%. The firm reported a total of 1,646 Bitcoin mined year-to-date and owned 2,128 Bitcoin or Bitcoin equivalent by the end of October. They also announced a mining expansion that comes from adding 220 PH/s to its total capacity, “bringing the Company’s mining capacity to 1.295 EH/s”. Recently, Argo Blockchain announced they are investing in the construction of an 800-megawatt crypto mining facility in Texas that could cost between $1.5 and $2 billion. It is being built on 320-acre land purchased for $17.5 million. Questions were raised about Argo’s lack of clarity around the costs of the mining facility, but Argo declared the estimated cost of building and kitting based on “numerous assumptions” and defended the investment. Our investments in mining facilities are designed to significantly expand our mining capacity and provide us with meaningful control over our mining operations. We are taking these steps as part of a broader strategy to shift our business from contracting for hosting of our mining machines in facilities to owning and operating our facilities.
