Project Nebula overview and Marketplace Tutorial. One of the first Video gaming projects to launch on Icon is Project Nebula, what is it about? Below is a summary of what the team have said about the different mechanics of the game. `"Project Nebula is a space themed, collectable strategy game on the ICON blockchain. Discover and own unique planets, artifacts, and more in an ever-expanding universe! Planets in Project Nebula are non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that players can claim, trade, and sell through the in-game Marketplace. The game includes elements from the 4X gaming genre, such as open exploration, research, and resource management.` `Exploration` `Project Nebula’s universe is hex-based. Every player will have a limited amount of hexes that they will be able to explore each day (24h). There will be several ways for players to increase their exploration capacity in the game, either by researching new technologies or by collecting special resources that increase their exploration speed.` `Players will only know exact information about the hexes they have already explored, although scanning nearby hexes before venturing into them will also be possible with limited accuracy. The accuracy of scanning distant hexes can be increased by researching respective technologies or by constructing observatories.` `Colonizing planets` `There are several ways for players to acquire new planets in Project Nebula. Apart from purchasing planets from other players via our in-game NFT Marketplace, everybody can explore the galaxy and colonize planets that they find. Some of the planets will require players to spend some ICX in order to be colonized. Some of the planets will require only in-game resources, and for some planets, there will be no colonization fee. Colonizing planets will take time, and if two players are trying to colonize the same planet simultaneously, the fastest one will win the planet.` `Research` `One of the three main resources in Project Nebula are research points. Learning a new technology requires research points. The more points you have, the faster you will be able to unlock new technologies. Your research points total represents the progress you will be able to make in one day.` `There will be many research categories where you can improve your performance. Some categories are more focused on boosting your exploration skills, some are more related to the process of upgrading your planets, and so on.` `Most of the technologies will have levels 1–5 with each following level increasing the benefit you get from that technology.` `Upgrades to planets` `Most planets will have upgrade slots; they represent the capacity of improvements available for that specific planet. How many and what type of upgrade slots a planet has will depend on its rarity class and planet type.` `Every building will have Credit and/or Industry costs that you must spend in order to begin construction. Buildings can have other prerequisites as well, such as access to a specific type of special resource or a specific technology that may have to be researched. As with technologies, buildings will have various effects on the gameplay. For example, they can increase credit generation or the range of your scanners to give you a better overview of what’s around you."` Here is my overview of the game and Marketplace tutorial on how you can buy and sell planets in the game. https://youtu.be/aWc4u9u-VyI https://lbry.tv/$/embed/Project-nebula--Marketplace-overview/062e32f88476a92003219db5d8ae31ff806687ba?

Additionally, revenue generated by the ICONbet platform will be shared with all TAP token holders. More details can be found in the TAP Tokens section. The ICONbet team will also develop an SDK, upon the success of the initial platform, to allow 3rd party developers to easily contribute to the ICONbet platform.

ICONBET! What is it and how to use it. ****What is ICONbet?**** ICONbet is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that hosts gaming DApps. ICONbet strives to utilize blockchain to provide transparency, profit redistribution, and provably fair gaming with its platform. ****How are rewards split?**** The earnings generated by the ICONbet DAO are divided as follows: 70% to mined TAP holders, 20% to the ICONbet team, and 10% to the daily Wager War. ****What is a TAP token?**** TAP is an IRC2 token built on the ICON blockchain. There will be a total of 625,000,000 TAP tokens minted. TAP represents ownership in the ICONbet DAO. It can be used for voting on ICONbet decisions and they earn rewards from DAO earnings. ****Where can I get TAP tokens?**** The only way to earn TAP tokens is by playing on the ICONbet platform. The daily distribution of TAP tokens will be proportional to each player’s daily betting volume (in ICX)—win or lose, the more you bet, the more TAP tokens you will own. A total of 1,000,000 TAP tokens will be distributed daily for the first 500 days. The full formula for TAP token distribution can be found in the Whitepaper. Tap can also be bought on **https://iconation.github.io/iconswap/#/** however please use caution as it's not the most user friendly and you can make mistakes. ****Who is this for?**** Iconbet.io is a great platform for anyone who loves gambling, you play for entertainment and at the same time get a share in the casino profits. The below article is for educational purposes only. Please gamble responsibly. ****How to use the platform**** If you want to use **iconbet.io** on your computer, you need to install the Iconex wallet chrome extension, located here: https://iconbet.io/ **https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/iconex/flpiciilemghbmfalicajoolhkkenfel?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon** Install it, and set up a new wallet, remember on the first setup it will give you a Keystore file, save this somewhere safe, it is what you use to restore your wallet and all your funds in it if your computer ever stopped working.  Once your wallet is set up, get some ICX added into it. There are various articles explaining how and where to buy icx, Binance is a great exchange to buy some. https://www.binance.com/en/register?ref=16173920 Once you have icx in your wallet, go to **iconbet.io**. I have added some screenshots below: https://iconbet.io/ *please note when you first visit the site there will be some notifications that pop up telling you what iconbet is and how to use the site. You can pick the don't show me this again and close those popups or explore them to learn more about the platform. Click the login button on the top right, this should load up your iconex wallet, asking you to pick your wallet and hit confirm. Currently there are 4 games on offer, with more being added.   Now that you are logged into the platform you can see your wallet address near the logout button. You can pick the game you want and start playing. The perk of using the platform is as you play you mine tap tokens. Everyday based on how much icx you have bet on the platform and how much in total has been spent by all users on the platform tap is minted and distributed. As noted above by having tap tokens, profits of the platform get distributed to tap owners. Let's look at the four games the platform currently has: ****DAOlette**** DAOlette is very common in all casinos, decide on your bet and click spin. ****DAOdice**** In this game you pick the number range, the lower the range the higher the win, on the flip side your win chance percentage is lower. This game is commonly used to mine Tap as you can set a large spread on the numbers to get a winning rate of 95%. If you're using this game as a way to mine tap, you need to play around with different tactics. ****DAOblackjack**** Standard Blackjack stuff here. ****DAOlottery**** This game is your basic Lotto, everyday there is a draw, you can buy as many tickets you like. It cost 5 icx per ticket. The jackpot keeps rising till there is a winner! Currently there is a promotion, the first 100 tickets are free for the day. You need to buy a ticket every day, each daily new ticket bought will entitle you to receive a reimbursement for the last day. Only one ticket is free per user per day. There are new games being added to the platform, Poker is a few months away. Now i will show you how to use the platform, when you play a game it interacts with your icon wallet, and there is a little trick you can use to make your gaming experience smoother. I will use DAOdice in the below example: As you can see in the top right corner you are already logged in. Pick the spread of your numbers, above i have said it will roll any number between 4 to 60. The amount I have bet is 0.1 icx and if I win I will get 0.17 icx. Once you click place bet, it will open your wallet and you will be asked for your wallet password like below: Enter your password then click on transfer. This will bring up a new page like below: Scroll down till you see the Enable auto signing option. Pick the enable auto signing option and pick a time from the drop down list. Don't touch anything else over here.  Once you have picked the timeframe you want auto signed enabled, click transfer. Once done you will be back at your game and in a few moments the place bet logo will change to Roll. Click roll and hope you win! As you have enabled auto signing, you won't have to go through that process every roll, you just place your bet and then click roll. It will only load up the wallet after the time you enabled auto signing has passed. You can also activate the Auto play button, this will keep rolling until you switch it off, run out of icx or your enable auto signing time is up. After you have played a few games, click on the dividends link, it will show you how much tap you have mined and if you're already a tap holder what your potential icx payout will be for that day. Remember your total tap amount will change based on how much you play on the platform. The icx payout will also change based on how much the platform makes everyday.  So if you do enjoy having a game, where better to play then on iconbet.io, You play for the entertainment and get a share of ownership in this casino! If you want to use iconbet.io on your mobile, simply download the Myiconwallet app from the apple or google store. This is a icon wallet with a web3 browser built into it. From the myiocnwallet app, you can access iconbet.io and play any of the games available. Cheers Cryptosetups
