Steam Block-Chain For It's Own Crypto Currency???

[Dalorath]

Hello all,

I was thinking. Steam should start its own Block-Chain in order to create it's own Crypto currency...

Users of Steam, will be opted in if they desire, to use their computers Gpu Cpu and Storage space, all in combination or as parts of each in whatever combination and size, to benefit whoever leaves steam open to have it generate for the user. Steam will manage and distribute all Crypto Currency, and facilitate a market for its exchange...

What do you think? Add your 2 cents. I have many other thoughts but pounding them all out right now is impossible since i never seem to be able to remember all my ideas when i need them most lol. Usually only when i don't need them will i remember, ♥♥♥♥, there's that memory i knew i had lol...

Dal :-D

COPYRIGHT THIS IDEA AS of Now, Dalorath Has this DOWN PAT!

gaming platforms to giove gamers rewards for gaming...

Literally every single comment you make about your all new "concept" make it even worse...

If you are demanding actually being paid for gaming then better think again since that is not an interest at all for any gaming plattform - especially not the one Steam represents. If you want to be paid for gaming then start being a content creator. No need to introduce some shady coin.

If you just want to be rewarded for gaming then take a look at Achievements. Also spending money on games rewards you with Points. Other plattforms such as Ubisoft Connect even reward you with points you can actually spend on their plattform for games and DLCs. So yeah there are rewards for gaming.

First, You are wrong,

Second, I didnt demand anyhting,

Third, I have said many times i dont want to be rewarded. I have been conceiving of using a new and budding technology to try and infer a concept into your narrow minds which will expand human Societies capacity and Processing power!

Long story short, it ain't going to happen. On the off chance it does, someone at Steam's likely already thought of it long before you laid down this "copyright." So if they did implement it, you'll likely be getting zilch, nada, bupkis.

Every time you enter a game, the mining would cease and the shares you mined would be set then based on how long it takes for each block t\o be paid out. When you leave the game and go inactive, the steam starts running based on how much you allocate to it ....

That’s much closer to a PoW mechanism than a PoS mechanism—although it seems to be an inversion of the Bitcoin method.

And do note that PoW is an ecological disaster.

.... But in this case, there would be no real mining in the typical sense of crypto. It would be the sales steam amakes from your processing power added together.

For mining as is conventionally meant, there’d be a need for settlement of transactions—so far this doesn’t even seem to need a blockchain.

THe copyright thing was because I want the idea to not be used by evil!

Your processing power isn't worth the money.

Imagine if 100 million poeople decided to install the steam gaming app because it meant earning free games and transferable currency?

Except it's not free. It uses up electricity, and puts wear and tear on your hardware shortening your lifespan. In fact trying to mine bit coin on a normal desktop almost always results in a LOSS of money due to that.

So often our computers are left running or offline, wasted potential.... Imagein if you could harness that???

When your computers are left idle their power consumption and wear and tear is minimal. When mining the computer is heavily stressed and it costs the users money.

My purpose in sharing this concept and trying to explain it isn't to earn for myself,

Mmm-hmmm...

Like I said, or tried to say, it is about giving people a free outlet and a resource hub for gaming platforms to give gamers rewards for gaming...

But they literally already have that. Valve has any number of ways for rewarding people. As toes every developer and publisher on Steam. So again. You're not actually coming up with anything revolutionary.

Thing is. Rewards are typically given for actually doing something deemed worthy of reward.

If you want a reward for playing games...join competitive rank ladders, join an e-sports team. Participate in competittions and tourbnaments. Contribbute something of worth to the gaming community...

One day everything in society will be free and equal and abundant,

Hah hahah .. No. A Post Scarcity economic system is literally a fantasy because it requires one to ignore the reality that...RESOURCES ARE FINITE.

but until then, we create networks of worth and try and redistribute that wealth according to Supply, demand, contribution and Need.......

That's how it has always worked and always will work.

OP's basically glossed over every reasonable counter argument against the idea, and has repeatedly resorted to trying to call people unintelligent or narrow minded to distract.

He's not once come up with a counterclaim about how horrendous a pollution source mining is, for example.

The settlements would come each time Steam concluded a contract which pays out to those who contributed to said process...

Not to mention several states in the US are implementing laws on how much power pre-built gaming rigs can use at idle.

All valid points, but if you trusted that steam was using your processing power to benefit man kind, wouldnt that be worth it?

No longer are we just gamers, but our computers are used for everyhtign as needed.

Imagine the potential processing power!!!

[Brian9824]

Also again no one would want to buy this processing from steam as again Amazon and other services could offer it for far cheaper then steam ever could.

It's far cheaper for them as they have rigs that can produce the processing power far cheaper and more efficiently then anyones random pc

Well, they aren't, and they wouldn't be.

Folding is the closest thing to benefit people.

As it's been stated, there's programs out there for that already. And the people that WANT to participate, already do.

You're smokescreening this, trying to use the "betterment of humanity" to try and distract from the plain and simple greed. You want easy free games, and you want Steam to make it possible for you.

No. I downloaded Steam for gaming, not to save manking or whatever.

Steam would be in the prime positon to offer all connected computers processing power across the world, for whatever purpose. Theres no overhead for steam in this. They have no hosting costs, for the amount of processing this brings to them. They have no issues with individual servers matinence. EAch person is responsible for their own computers...
