hi i will start with just saying that this is John Fox and that we have been working on this project for some time now but we have hit a wall in the basic programming of the iOS app. i did attempt to program it myself but we didn’t have any luck. it was too aggravating and we didn’t have enough time. although i did learn some programming i could not bring the idea to life.
we are using Xcode with swift for the programming. and the game its self is fairly simple. the idea is to promote or demote pictures taken by the user and posted on a social network platform. to promote you buy jingo the entry fee and then spend it buying UUWUU or to demote spend your entry fee on EEHEE the positive and negative points respectively. by promotion you stand to gain from promotions after you and by demotion you stand to gain by destroying the picture and earning a division of the pot. the game is not gambling as we have made it predominately skill based. for more info on the game contact me here.
Hi, John Fox. If possible, I want to join your team.
k lets get started
anyone reading this and not the new post, we still need a programmer, Ori didn’t have the time for the project
since more people are reading this than the other one i am going to post the rules to the game on both.
MAKE N’ TAKE is a cryptocurrency based game that utilizes the social networking to share and compete in a popularity contest of self made pictures, where winning is rewarded with digital money in the form of Counterparty assets (JINGO, EEHEE, and UUWUU), similar to bitcoins.
JINGO represents neutral points in the game, EEHEE is negative points and UUWUU are positive points. Each however are worth money.
JINGO is the middle and the EEHEE/UUWUU are on opposing sides of the system (like a jtimeline).
in order to get EEHEE you purchase it with JINGO, same goes for UUWUU (need to be bought using JINGO). it is not allowed to trade EEHEE for UUWUU or visa versa. However the exchange is always open to exchanging one or the other freely with each other though bitcoins. there are no transaction fees in this game but there are to trade on the exchange. there is no reason for this rule but to add an extra element to the game.
you are at anytime always allowed to send the JINGO or EEHEE or UUWUU or all three/ any combination to the exchange to sell for bitcoins and keep as your own money.
JINGO represents cash for creativity
UUWUU represents a symmetrical literal shape formed by its letters, but is called MAKING
EEHEE is the opposing entity as it is an asymmetry formed with the letters. It is called TAKING
the idea is to promote or demote the pictures that are shared.
promoting a coin is done by spending UUWUU on the “like button” or promotion button. this is to say that you have an investment placed in the picture’s popularity.
the more a picture is promoted the more the original promoters are rewarded and the promoters under them are rewarded with decreasing percentages of JINGO. the idea is first come first serve. the sooner you invest in a popular picture the more JINGO you will make.
Promotion of a picture gives the promoter a pay out of the next promoters investment. this is the order of payouts 1st investor earns 25% of all the upcoming investor’s investments, 2cnd in line gets 16% of all the upcoming investor’s investments and 3rd in line receives 12%. and an important detail will be that you can only earn up to twice your initial investment each time another invests. so the fourth investor will earn 1% of all next investments and each investor after that will be earning the same 1% for the next investments, this is all the while having the first three keeping their percentages of 25%, 16% and 12%. however once the percentage reaches 100% it will start to sap from all the previous investors to make an additional percentage for that next investor as equal to the remains of the 1% portions that should now have become something less than 1%. in other words the same percentage is now sapped from all investors to create the next in line’s percentage.
the promotion chain works in such a way that the first in line always makes this ¼ of the next investment put in not greater than twice the first investment.
demoting a picture will eventually destroy it. if the number of demoters is greater than 100 and twice that of the promoters the picture is destroyed. you want to destroy pictures to win “treasure”. the treasure is half the percentage of the amount of JINGO that went into promoting a coin.
there is also screen shots and a UI if you are interested
website added
http://makeandtake.website
financial statement coming soon
this is best explained in written form as the actual numbers may be unpredictable:
1:
this is an idea the world has not seen before, play and get payed. If successful the amount of money that comes in to the MA-King Business will be astronomical so it is not doing any justice to the matter by guessing numbers. We do know that there are at least 400,000 accounts on one of the Bitcoin mining websites. If the idea catches on there is a lot more than 400,000 potential customers in this market on the web.
2:
we have been working on getting this business going for over a year now and have waited a while (a vacation as we called it) for the halving of bitcoin to pass so we could continue. we are now continuing to form the business. as soon as funds are available to form the LLC, MA-King. which i thought the business plan was already up here but i will add it today because i don’t see it up. Now that bitcoin has halved we are anticipating funding within the next 3 months for the business. we already have been offered a spot on EOBOT if that spot is still open we will take that opportunity. aside from this we have been also trying to get the XCP coins in to the exchanges but are currently only tradable in the Counterparty wallets. this is not bad but could be better and are expecting with the completion of the app’s programming that the exchanges will look at accepting the coins.
3.
the financial piece of this is mainly being funded by the owner (me) and has been not very expensive thus far. The app as explained above is one of the projects of the company as explained below. The program needs to be completed but we have a UI and is ready to hopefully be programmed using Xcode. The programmer that we choose will be equal owner of the app thus all profits derived directly from sales of the app will be included 50/50 between the company and the programmer/programmers. this includes advertisements within the app, and the price it costs to download onto the phone. this will not include the coins them selfs although we are generous and will work something out if the coins become valuable. we expect that upon completion of the app and promotion of the app that the company will start making a good amount of revenue, based on strictly sales of the app and the coins within it. right now there is no set in stone benchmarks other than to have this company up and running soon (as in a month from now) and even this is just an outline at the moment.
If you are interested in this app read the business plan below for MA-King
MA-King
Welcome to MA-King. May, 2016
Our goal at MA-King is to show that Bitcoin is a viable currency that can be used for many things. MA-King (mā′kĭng) is a business that focuses on providing logistical support to projects that that reward project users via digital currency. All projects that MA-King supports will provide Cash for Creativity, also known as C4C. C4C projects are meant to inspire people to work together instead of in isolation. MA-King is a business that supports positive ideals and forward thinking.
The first project MA-King is happy to support is a mobile app called Make N’Take. The game is going to be one of the very first of its kind to offer the player actually digital currency, or money as reward for playing without gambling. In this way, we are unique and proud to have formulated such a device or utility that may in fact change the world in a benevolent way. Make N’ Take, as with other projects that MA-King hopes to support, has a target market that is within what is called ‘the Counterparty exchange’ or within other communities/exchanges that exists around the bitcoin.
In the Counterparty exchange, every time you spend or send a token you send a small amount of BTC (bitcoin) with it. The shining feature of Counterparty is its ability to create your own assets within what is called ‘the Counterparty token-wallet’. According to the website counterparty.io, a
website explaining Counterparty, “Counterwallet is a user-friendly web wallet that makes all of the functionality provided by Counterparty’s reference client, available in your browser.
When you use Counterwallet, all transactions are signed on your device and your private keys are never stored on our servers. All information sent to our servers is encrypted by your Counterwallet client for maximum security, and every trace of your session is erased when you log out. All you need is your passphrase for easy and secure access.” The JINGO, EEHEE, UUWUU, ELITEHUNDRED, BTCBILLIONS, EEGGS, EVENTOKEN and COINING projects explained in this packet all use the cryptocurrency known as Counterparty.
You can learn more about Counterparty at:: http://counterparty.io.
The Make N’Take project is an app called Make N’Take. It will offer to the bitcoin community, the gaming community, and social media networking users a new and exciting way to play and get payed. The Make N’ Take app MA-King seeks to target kids and young adults who are already engaged in online gaming and social media networking. The point of the Make N’ Take app is to be an entertaining, practical and fun way to earn some extra Counteryparty tokens for one’s Counterparty wallet. This is not a gambling game. It is not based on luck or chance. It relies predominantly on the skill of the player. During the game, the player will be asked to reference their knowledge-bank on society and demographics. We will be striving to make this a safe environment for the users and the teams working behind it. In a way you could say we will be “keeping it PG 13” for the enjoyment, protection and privacy of the users.
The Make N’ Take app will offer advertisement researchers effective information on what makes a picture good or essentially what makes a picture sell. The consumers it will serve, such as social media networking literate consumers, will be not only interested in making some extra money but also in honing their skills in deciphering “good” from “bad” pictures or pictures that they think others will like, or approve of, as well as what they like or approve of. Artists are also going to want to know if there painting was “good or not”, as well as photographers.
Again, the Make N’ Take app is only the beginning of what this business, MA-King, is planning to do.
Business Objectives:
• MA-King should be fun for partners, employees, and
customers of the business, for the purposeful meaning of healthy living and our common goal defined in the mission statement above.
• We, as the working force backing this business will thrive on 100% satisfaction of both customers and working members through negotiation and compromise that is good and satisfying for both parties.
• Develop an app designed to make Bitcoin entertaining for all audiences.
• Expand on this app for limited (1a.) advertisement
• Continue to make advancement in the features of the application.
• MA-King is meant to be an ever progressing business making new room for job advancement or opportunity.
• Do not become content; always be ready for the next project or great idea.
• Encourage each employee to move up from the current position to the head of a business or branch of their own.

Projects & Products and Services provided:
The project is an app is called Make N’ Take. The programmer of
the app stands to receive equal ownership opportunity of the app. The rules are as follows:
MAKE N’ TAKE is a cryptocurrency based game that utilizes the
social networking to share and compete in a popularity contest of self made pictures, where winning is rewarded with digital money in the form of Counterparty assets (JINGO, EEHEE, and UUWUU), similar to
bitcoins.
JINGO represents neutral points in the game, EEHEE is negative points
and UUWUU are positive points. Each however, are worth money.
JINGO is the middle and the EEHEE/UUWUU are on opposing sides of
the system (like a timeline).
in order to get EEHEE you purchase it with JINGO, same goes for
UUWUU (need to be bought using JINGO). It is not allowed to trade EEHEE for UUWUU or visa versa. However the exchange is always open to exchanging one or the other freely with each other though bitcoins. there are no transaction fees in this game but there are to trade on the exchange.There is no reason for this rule, but to add an extra
element to the game.
You are at anytime, always allowed to send the JINGO or EEHEE or
UUWUU or all three/ any combination to the exchange to sell for
bitcoins and keep as your own money.
JINGO represents cash for creativity.
UUWUU represents a symmetrical literal shape formed by its letters, but
is called MAKING
EEHEE is the opposing entity as it is an asymmetry formed with the
letters. It is called TAKING
the idea is to promote (by approving) or demote (disapproving) the
pictures that are shared.
promoting a picture is done by spending UUWUU on the “like button”
or promotion button. this is to say that you have approved of the picture
and and put points towards its popularity.
The more a picture is promoted the more the original promoters are
rewarded and the promoters under them are rewarded with decreasing percentages of JINGO.The idea is first come first serve. The sooner you
invest in a popular picture the more JINGO you will make.
Promotion (interchangeable with the word approval) of a picture gives
the promoter a pay out of the next promoters UUWUU.This is the order of payouts 1st approver earns 25% of all the upcoming approvals, 2nd in line gets 16% of all the upcoming approver’s UUWUU, and 3rd in line receives 12%. and an important detail will be that you can only earn up to twice your initial UUWUU each time another approves, so the fourth approver will earn 1% of all next approvals and each approval after that will be earning the same 1% for the next approver, this is all the while having the first three keeping their percentages of 25%, 16% and 12%.
However once the percentage reaches 100% it will start to take from all
the previous percentages to make an additional percentage for that next
investor as equal to the remains of the 1% portions that should now have become something less than 1%. in other words the same percentage is
now taken from all approvers to create the next in line’s percentage.
The promotion chain works in such a way that the first in line always
makes this 1⁄4 of the next approval put in, not greater than twice the amount of their first approval. it is not possible for the same approver to get more than one place in the approval chain. But, the approver is
allowed to demote the same picture if they would like.
Demoting a picture will eventually destroy it and be put in an archive, as
a running hall of fame for the months pictures. If the number of demoters is greater than 100 and twice that of the promoters the picture is archived. You want to archive pictures to win “treasure”. The treasure is half the percentage of the amount of JINGO that went into promoting
a coin. There is a flat rate for demotions undetermined for the moment.
Other side projects that we are working with on the side include, ELITEHUNDRED exclusive membership coin, there does exist an ELITEHUNDRED forum that only owners of at least one of these coins may enter. This is where the great ideas of the crypto community come together to make not only the world a better place but also the community and for holders of the coin, themselves.
Also, we have many other undeveloped ideas in progress such as but not limited to, the Counterparty assets BTCBILLIONS (crypto mice today, are the crypto giants tomorrow), EEGGS (electronic eggs found on the internet), EVENTOKEN (eventually I will pay you tokens) and COINING ( to make the idea your own ). These are not the exact definitions of the side projects some are more concise. EEGGS are the next in line for development after the ELITEHUNDRED.
Demographics:
Generally: according to the OECD, (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) since the 80’s research has been highly concentrated to the universities and government research organizations. Collaboration and mobility are on the rise. Research shows that career paths are changing to be less traditional. Under the Science, Technology, and Industry score board 2015, increased investing in the future is happening due to the downturns “crisis” in the economy. Disruptive innovations such as, Internet of Things, big data, and quantum computing…etc, are now standing as bases for new investments and innovations to form. “Government support is on the rise but demand matters” is one of the sub categories on this score board. 2011-2013 global value chains were hiring more workers in most of the EU countries and the United States. The same was said at this time for the proportion of them 36% that were highly skilled workers.
Age: more than 80% of adults use the internet, that is more than a 30% increase over the last 15 years, of these estimated 80%, Pew Research Center says that 67% are on some form of social media networking. a survey of 1802 internet users done by Pew Research Center says out of the 1802 users the age groups ranked in the following order; 65+ years old in third place with 368 users, 30-49 was a close second at 532 users and first was the age 50-64 at 551 users, finishing last was the 18 to 29 year old users at 318. These polls were done globally. Pingdom.com reports that the average age of a social media networker was just under 37 years of age. For the sake of this app the demographic will be younger based on the premise of the game and that there is variation between differing social media networking sites. Our average user is estimated to be 35 years old or younger. This is an estimation based on the classification of the social media networking
type.
income: based on the same survey by Pew Research Center, the upper class was the most likely to be using social media, and the Lower class $30,000/yr or less was the second likely, and the middle class was least likely.
education: didn’t seem to make a big difference as the scores were almost even
race: this however was hands down ethnically a white and non- hispanic majority by far.
Geographics: global. Market analysis:
Bitcoin and Alt-Coins: First, if you have no idea what a bitcoin is you will need to watch these youtube videos as they make it easier to understand. Youtube search “what is Bitcoin”, https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um63OQz3bjo
and then if you would like to know a bit more, Youtube search “what is Bitcoin Mining”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmOzih6I1zs
in general Google search or Bing are great for finding out more on bitcoin and the alternative currencies. The place to start is the BitcoinTalk forum, here; bitcointalk.org.
Bitcoin is a new digital form of currency and will in my opinion revolutionize our economy and system of payments.
Rapid growth: Many new startups are experiencing rapid growth within the Bitcoin and Alt-Coin realms. There are a number of contributing factors to this not discussed here.
Competition: The closest competitor we will have thus far is the SoG (Spells of Genisis ), a trading card game where the cards are bought
with digital currency and then also used to play in an arcade style game. In doing this you will earn new cards that you may keep or trade for money. This idea is similar to ours in that we are both creating a game like environment to reward the player for their work or play.
Potential partners or business associates: We will be working with Counterparty and possibly the LBT network (lets talk bitcoin); Spells of Genisis is also up there in terms of potential business. Other industries that have potential in cooperation or business association would be businesses that are looking for statistics on advertisement, or pictures and art work. We may form a channel on the app just specifically for art pieces, or strictly categorized in one way or another to cater to a certain preference, or lifestyle. There may be many short relationships to those wanting to put ads on the application.
Market charachteristics: the trend of Bitcoin is increasing in many countries, some are banning the currencies but most are looking to this as a new opportunity in the making. There is an enormous potential for growth and already Bitcoin alone has become a powerful word and association in it of itself and its worth. Overall it seems that the better bitcoin is doing that. Most of the alt-coins are following in a similar yet individual patterns. Looking on the exchanges there is quite a bit of volatility in the alt-coins but Bitcoin has become relatively stable over the last 6 months to a year. MA-King is starting out as strictly a digital currency based company, meaning most of the projects if not all of them for the time being will have something bitcoin or alt-coin related behind them. Some prior to bitcoin businesses have been quick to adopt it in either mining or trading and even innovating. There are now thousands of individual alt-coins on the market or exchange.
Strategic plan:
promotional plan: Bitcoin talk forum is a source we are already utilizing for both ELITEHUNDRED and Make N’ Take. Much of the
bitcoin community goes to this forum to ask questions and find out more on certain topics related to bitcoins and alt-coins. We have a website made for both ELITEHUNDRED and Make N’ Take. the EEHEE tokens that belong to the Make N’ Take app have been certified along with the ELITEHUNDRED coins. We are in contact still with the founder of EOBOT at eobot.com who has said in the past they would be willing to accept our coin on the bitcoin mining website so long as we are on a legitimate exchange. The founder of Folding coin has talked to us in the past of doing a podcast episode and we were gracious to accept the offer. The podcast should take place soon; probably in July.
For the Make N’ Take app now that we have a business plan and will soon be a finished website. We are asking the exchanges to take our Counterparty tokens, EEHEE, UUWUU and JINGO. Once on the exchange we will have a source of income. For further elaboration on what comes after we are on the exchange view the appendix (1b).
the ELITEHUNDRED token will be utilized after the Make N’ Take app is off the ground. see appendix (2b).
Tactical plan:
Staffing plan: TBD Time line: TBD
appendix:
1a. The app will have room for 4 ads, these ads are to be placed all on
the same page of the app and only showed once as long as the app was paid for. if the app was free there is no limit to the amount of times. The ad is shown but still has to be on one page and only 4 ads at a time. This may be subject to change but will stay in effect at least until the first of the year 2019.
1b. After the tokens for the app are on the exchange we will be able to fund more of its development exponentially faster. We are unsure of exact amounts but the projection for the exchange could be well over $5,000 within the first week of being accepted. This will also give the tokens them selves value. Some of the tokens were already promotionally distributed to the bitcoin talk community. EEHEE donated over 40% of the EEHEE to lottery picked bitcoin users. UUWUU is still 100% and JINGO was given out less than 5% to those who are holding JENGA.
The programming of the app should be already started by the time we are accepted to the exchange. Again the programmer stands to benefit as equal ownership of the app itself for programming it. It should not take the programmer more than 2 months to finish especially if they are experienced. We would prefer the program to be done in swift programming format. The UI for the programmer has already been designed.
2b. The ELITEHUNDRED should take off on its own after a certain point. First though we will have 2 or 3 more of the 100 tokens given away as a total of 10 that were given away. 30 of the coins will be sold and 60 will be given to nominated members of the Bitcoin community who have earned the token as the “nobel prize” of the crypto community. The exclusive forum should flourish with good ideas that will generate more innovations and great ideas together from a divers collection of bitcoin users. We will start the nominations before these are accepted to the exchange.
we have a new developer. until next time
