My daughter (8), with my support, just bought and opened her first Splinterlands Chaos Legion Pack without using any fiat money. Since CL packs cannot yet be bought without a voucher, she admittedly needed a voucher to do so. So she also bought this beforehand. We got the idea when we saw that she has Splinter Talk (SPT) tokens in her Hive Engine wallet. She got these thanks to publishing blog posts for which her account has been put as a beneficiary, curated by accounts that have SPT staked. Sound complicated? Wait, it gets better. Sufficient SPT for a voucher and a CL pack we exchanged for Swap.Hive directly within hive-engine.com to get a voucher there first. The price had been dropping steadily lately since the CL edition came out. Once we had the voucher, we still needed credits to pay for the CL pack in-game. At first we wanted to pay for them via Swap.Hive. But it turned out that these had to be paid on-chain via Hive, instead of side-chain via the Hive Engine. To avoid having to swap Swap.Hive from the Hive Engine side-chain for on-chain Hive, which would incur fees, we swapped the Swap.Hive for 800 Dark Energy Crystals (DEC), which can be transferred directly to in-game without fees. And with around 700 of that, we paid for the credits we needed. And finally, we traded voucher and credits for a Chaos Legion Pack. In the pack were three Common, one Rare and one Gold Foil Common.
