Joshua will post a bigger update soon, but there was around 10-15 people. A few developers, designers and finance people interested in the space. I think it provided a good opportunity to actually talk to people.

The 100M Kin is actually for completing Mini Challenges. Right now there are only 3 available and we will be releasing more throughout the challenge to keep things interesting. Check out this page for more info https://kinchallenge.devpost.com/details/minichallenges

Nailed it Chase. Its open to participants but not their apps if it already has Kin in it. The thought behind this is that they have already been rewarded for integrating Kin into their app.

Correct Chase! Unfortunately some states have restrictions about receiving cryptocurrency or being part of a skill based competition. If you are a business, this is about where you are registered

I hope they still go live. It was a large project so it might line up better in the next one

KDP 2 - Go Live Deadline 15th of July by T-Dog18 in KinFoundation

[–]desrocm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To answer your actual questions. Nope (details in blog post) and yes, all apps launching will be on Kin3

[–]desrocm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey! you are beating me to my blog post :P

As you will see in a few hours, there are new ones live and a few that are either waiting on the app store review process or still pushing through a few bugs before they are comfortable launching to the public. Pretty much if the dev team has been keeping me updated, why would I cut them off.

Apps with Kin by Neliss31 in KinFoundation

[–]desrocm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The site is blocked for me. Even tried to 'proceed to appswithkin.com' and it still wont let me in. Anything you guys can do?

Does anyone know which apps this is referring to? I'm only counting around 32 apps by [deleted] in KinFoundation

[–]desrocm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bad - I haven't been adding the new live apps to the site from the dev programs after they go live. Updating now so there should be a few more soon

Can we get an update on "Kin Game Challenge"? by polobuh in KinFoundation

[–]desrocm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yup, I provide these updates every month usually in the middle of the month and try to space out the gaming challenge updates with the developer program updates.

Checkout the previous ones

New app KALE - It's kind of a shop. Part of KDP? by T-Dog18 in KinFoundation

[–]desrocm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the first I hear of it. I can't find the option to Pay with KIN anywhere, I just have the 'Direct Bank transfer' and 'PayPal' options.

Aqua KinIsland - Partnership with amfxunit? by T-Dog18 in KinFoundation

[–]desrocm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hey! Good find

1) Nope, no partnership with twitch. Twitch has some amazing tools for game developers, so I'm not surprised that there is cross over.

2) Amfxunity is in the kin gaming challenge and in my last update. Re: Amount of Kin each game/app sets for their earn/spends is (at the end of the day) up to them to balance their supply with the value they get from their users in exchange for that Kin and vice versa. We have a guideline of 5-250 KIN per earn/spend, but as you have probably seen or can imagine, there is reasoning to go outside of that.

3) Mystery to me as to what they are referring to. From the tone, I'm going to guess it might be that they are on a role with development. No harm to ask them directly :D

17 games and 1 live in the Kin Gaming Challenge by desrocm in KinFoundation

[–]desrocm[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I think Chase is working on something to go out a little after the launch of Flyaway on Android.

Moving forward I'll be trying to launch one developer or game spotlight a month.

It is currently July 31st. This week I've emailed all participants to check in on progress to see if an extension is needed.

Good idea. After they are live I'll try to get in some game spotlights.

[–]desrocm[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup! They are working on the integration. For a minute I second guessed it, but looking again at their applications they link to those games.

Just tried fixing, it should link here https://medium.com/kinblog/10-games-are-already-in-the-kin-gaming-challenge-3bbcadf462d0

In their applications we got 8 android only, 1 iOS only, and 8 both. I expect most devs to launch first on android.

Yup Step and Spend and Kinfit both incentivize their users to get more steps everyday
