Day 3 of my (/our!) experimental and interactive game, in which I'm trying to compare some of my paintings to cryptocoins, and in which you can manipulate their value, by upvoting or commenting. You can find the introduction here.
It was a very confusing start, so I've simplified the rules a bit. Thanks to everybody who commented and made suggestions, but if it stays as confusing, I'm still holdingthe option of shelving this experiment. It takes more work than I anticipated and although it is fun, we'll have to see how it turns out in the long run. Let's see what happened on day 3!
Looks like it was an overall green day on the markets (did you see STEEM go up, by the way!?), so Crypto-Painting MARTY-ARTXCHANGE followed!
1. DRP, 40x60cm, yesterday's value: $ 405.87
Yeah, I'm not used to making charts, I'll get the hang of it!
DRP's linked cryptocoin went up 17.72%, making DRP bounce back from $405.87 to $477.79! Next, DRP wasn't mentioned in the comments (making its price go up), but that was countered by general upvotes. Last, a Random Trigger ùade DRP available in Sierra Leone, causing its price to go down by 7.44%
2. ILS, 30x40cm, yesterday's value: $ 165.22
ILS's crypto-linked-coin went up in value by 10.83%, so ILS followed and went from $165 to $183.11. @okkiedot and @junsusukhairi's comments both caused a 7% drop each (great stuff!), leaving
3. NIFLHEIM, 24x30cm, yesterday's value: $ 203.85
NIFLHEIMS linked coin went up a whopping 13.28%, so NIFLHEIM followed to $230/92. @fraenk buying all the NIFLHEIM possible in the uptrend slightly tempered NIFLHEIMS's surge, and left
4. AAA, 13x18cm, yesterday's value: $ 89.98
Here we see AAA going all volatile and crazy, firstly following his linked coin, going up 9.74%, but @niko3d investing in AAA, bringing it down by 7% again, leaving
Now, that was a ride for today!
I still haven't figured out how the stakes of the players will go, as they're accumulating ever so slowly of course - a couple of cents compared to a couple of hundred dollars of the paintings. So, I'm still not completely content with that - I will keep the tally of the upvotes, but I'm not sure on how to proceed. Let me think it over just a bit more.
Here's the leaderboard after day 2:
@okkiedot: $0.113 in ILS
@fraenk: $0.080 in NIFLHEIM
@remlaps1: $0.037 in ALL 4 paintings
@mikkolyytinen: $0.034 in ALL 4 paintings
@hr1: $0.029 in ALL 4 paintings
@edward.maesen: $0.026 in ILS
@paolobeneforti: $0.2 in ALL 4 paintings
@niko3d: $0.017 in AAA
@roelvi: $0.013 in NIFLHEIM
@zneeke: $0.012 in ALL 4 paintings
@deemarshall: $0.011 in ALL 4 paintings
These other players have below $0.01 shares: @steempipe.com, @sanjoy22, @hazel420, @pinoy, @lisa.palmer, @sallyswitchblade, @zhuravlyovpyotrd (!), @selevyuli, @gregan, @faisal, @dmiton, @junsusukhairi, @phototrail, @remlaps2, @skakamaz, @anisimovs, @schererf
And that concludes today's update on the Cryptopaintings game! The game continues - for now with these simplified rules:
An upvote on the post gets you a little share in all 4 paintings, however small that share is.
An upvote and a comment on a particular painting brings that painting's price down, and concentrates your shares on that painting, instead of on all 4 paintings.
A random word in a comment can trigger a rise in price or a drop in price for one or all paintings.
I will think further about the rules, and how this game can be kept interactive and fun; I may or may not continue it though, as I have been putting a surprising amount of time in this little post!
See you tomorrow, your comments and feedback are very much appreciated, have fun!
EDIT: I received generous upvote from @pfunk, @bue and @schererf on the first post - these upvotes were not taken into account and will be included in tomorrow's update! Thanks, guys!
