So I love what\nI do now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>When did you first hear about crypto?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam: <\/strong>I\u2019m Sam,\nthe CMO.

Could you share\nsome details about the games that you have on the Wasder platform, what are the\ngenres and how many games are there? Did your dev team develop all of the games\nor are you allowing 3d party games to be integrated with your platform? Do you\nprovide cross platform gaming for both PC client and mobile app users?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam: <\/strong>W A S D E\nR are the most used keys when you play games on a PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n W – Up\/Forward<\/p>\n\n\n\n A – Left<\/p>\n\n\n\n S – Down\/backwards<\/p>\n\n\n\n D – Right<\/p>\n\n\n\n E – Use<\/p>\n\n\n\n R – Reload<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>So our platform is built as a gaming ecosystem and social platform, that\nmeans for us that ALL games is relevant, and thats also the strength of our\nplatform. Right now, we have about 50 000 different games in the platform that\npeople can talk about, match with others (party play) to find people to play\nwith, and build communities around. We are ALWAYS looking to integrate and\npartner with publishers to add more to the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Wasder is currently out on web, iOS and Android – and getting amazing\nfeedback. We are currently sitting at over 60% retention rates, which is\nindustry leading for a social platform<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam: <\/strong>Wasder is\nthe social ecosystem that connects gamers on web\/mobile, so while we don\u2019t\ndevelop games, you will be able to talk to people that love the same games as\nyou on there, or even connect with the game devs and publishers if they are\nregistered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>And we are continuing to develop our game spaces to make them absolutely\nrevolutionary for this industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our goal is that users kind of see us as a smartphone – a place to go to\nfind all their favorite functions and content, just within gaming. That makes\nus the perfect partners for every gaming developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>How about we reveal a piece of news here @sam6ft9 ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>For newcomers is it easy to play?😀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam: <\/strong>sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>Give us more news! We love them😍<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>As of next week, we will be creating a community program for users to\nvote on their favorite blockchain games, that we will add to the ecosystem and\ncreate game space for those games!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>So if you have a favorite, let us know and maybe we will prioritize YOUR\nblockchain favorite game first<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>Satoshiclubbers, let’s vote👏👏👏<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>We are a social platform – so I would say its super easy for new users to\nfind the perfect game for them, and find people & content in their favorite\ngame<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold\nRocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Wow! great news! 🚀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold\nRocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>What is your favourite game? Because as you\ntype, I understand that you are an experienced player😁<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>Fast fingers😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>My all time favorite is SWG (Star Wars Galaxies), which is probably the\nbest game ever made. And I am a Star Wars nerd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam: <\/strong>Oh\u2026favorite\ngame\u2026 You know, I love the Assassin\u2019s Creed Games, I love GTA V, Elite\nDangerous<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>But, right now its Dota 2 and Mass Effect the revamped version<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold\nRocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Me too ❤️<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>And fun fact, I worked on the Mass Effect titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>Really?🤩<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold\nRocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>My son loves these games 😁<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket\n| Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Thanks a lot for the answers guys! Ready for the\nnext question?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Yep, I ran EA’s Nordic social media pages in the nordics when we released\nthese titles<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Lets go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q2 from Telegram User @yellowchamp<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Two of the ways to earn more real rewards in Wasder\nare by participating in VIP events with streamers, influencers and E-sporters\nand to rank high on community leaderboards or beat other guilds to earn\nrewards. So,can you tell us more about what VIP events that is going to be live\nin your platform? Can anyone become a VIP in your platform and can anyone\nparticipate in VIP events in your platform? How to become a VIP member in\nWasder? What are the ways to advance the community leaderboard in Wasder? Can\nyou also give us an idea how to beat other guild? If anyone can achieve the\nways to earn real reward with Wasder,how does reward be given to users? Thank\nyou<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>So Sami will cover the event part! <\/p>\n\n\n\n The VIP’s in this case is higher ranked streamers, publishers, and\ninfluencers. And also some super stars that we have working with us in Wasder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Technically, anyone can become a VIP \/ verified user, as long as they\nlive up to the requirements for that, like instagram & twitter. There’s a\nprocess with us to verify that people are who they say, and that they are\ninfluencers of value<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam: <\/strong>Absolutely.\nWe have some really cool events planned for our members – think\nstreamers\/gamers\/influencers and challenging them to a game. We\u2019re also talking\nto several big music artists about coming in and performing on a stream, and\nthen challenging our users to a game of their choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>What we are thinking around the community leaderboards – is that we want\nto reward the most active users within communities, both player made\ncommunities (so internal guild leaderboards), but also communities like\nspecific games!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Imagine insteaf of having to become a proffesional esporter, your guild\nor team of friends, can challenge another guild of your choice to a\n“battle” in your favorite game, and the winner walks away with tokens\nand rewards<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>Do you welcome influencers from gaming industry or\nfrom crypto also?😀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam: <\/strong>both! As\nlong as it\u2019s related to gaming<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>So, they will be rewarded in your tokens, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Sometimes tokens, sometimes other rewards. It all depends on the wishes\nof the users and what the activity is<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>As I mentioned earlier, we have one of the best game economy designers in\nthe world building this system<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam: <\/strong>yeah, it\u2019s\nimportant to notice that the platform is being designed with a 100% circular\neconomy in mind<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Even though we are a social platform, and gaming ecosystem<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>we want people to think of us like “The game of Wasder”<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>Oh, got it! Your VIPs should be ready for surprises 😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam: <\/strong>so it\nwon\u2019t get skewed as we add millions of users<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>iMAGINE if Facebook or instagram was a gamified platform with tokens<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Thats us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold\nRocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Me and my friends play Alien Worlds. Can we\ncreate a guild on your platform?😉 @saromckenna<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>I can😀 but i think we need\nours platform, decentralised and independent! And you’re really welcome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Yes! 100%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our guild functionality is not built out yet. You can create your guild,\nbut not fully build it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Its on our roadmap in 2.5 months<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>I really believe you can do this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Our goal is to provide the best guild functionality in the world,\nleaderboards, membermanagement, raid systems & event calendars, internal\nforums<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>And GUILD REWARDS and achievements!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold\nRocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Thank you very much for your answers! Ready\nfor the next question😊? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Absolutely<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q3 from Telegram user @Ruttiee <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I believe that every platform that facilitates\ncommunication among it\u2019s users should implement adequate infrastructure and\nmechanisms that provides security and privacy to data shared by users on it\nplatform. So, in terms of Online security and data privacy what security\nmeasures and data privacy feautures has Wasder set in place to ensure that\nusers communication as well as their data are protected and secured? Will users\ncommunication and data be encrypted on Wasder Party Chat?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Thank you for this question, this is super important<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>So; first off – because we are a “mainstream” swedish company\nwith institutional investors, we need to make sure that we are ALWAYS following\nlaws and regulations<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>But, there’s also the issue that our industry has never been\n“great” at this<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>We want to make sure that we are industry leading on 3 things<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Data privacy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Trust<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>and safety & Non-toxicity<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>We will always make sure that we comply with the regulations around the\nworld on data privacy, as well as the needs of users at any given time. While\ncreating a safe and inclusive environment for gamers<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold\nRocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Safety first👍<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>Do your users need any KYC verification?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>That being said – There will be safety mechanics put in place to ensure\nthat criminal activity & societal issues are not possible in our ecosystem,\nthrough automated systems<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Not yet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>No social platform in the world requires KYC yet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>And since gamers use “gaming nicknames” its a challenging issue<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>We are looking into how we can become the first in the world to do this\nright<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>But sometimes Facebook asks to verify identity 😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas Wasder:\n<\/strong>But I cant promise that its possible<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Its a huge resource question<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>But we definately want to do it over time<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041c\u0430ry\nSatoshi CLUB: <\/strong>That’s right😀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas\nWasder: <\/strong>Primarily to make sure we create a safe platform for children & women\nin gaming<\/p>\n\n\n\n
