Owning Niagara Falls or the Grand Canyon has never been easier. The ability to liquidate by setting your sell price is critical, but they've cleverly allowed multiple ways to make money besides just selling. Just remember, it's a game so I don't advise that you take out a loans for this.

Pros:

Become a real estate mogul.

Sell your position at any time.

Make money - maybe.

Cons:

UI can get cluttered.

Thanks for the nice review! We definitely not recommend taking out a loan, there are a lot more uses besides simple speculation (which we think has been plaguing the blockchain ecosystem a bit too much now). Some interesting uses are coming from startups advertising on the block where their offices are located! Two examples: https://www.blocklord.co/?x=3859... and https://www.blocklord.co/?x=2097...

Great idea!

Pros:

Super fun to play and see the images other users upload

Cons:

Some usability tweaks, but they are getting nailed one by one

Something that is not a crypto coin coming from the blockchain world is always interesting.

Pros:

Incredible clever Idea

Cons:

It may melted with all the coins

Will you be updating the map imagery over time? Seems like a fun project!

@michaelibrooks Hi Michael! Thanks so much :) Yes we had fun making it! It's a crowd-sourced community project so all the imagery is real is generated by people buying blocks. But if you mean the actually background map - we created the toggle on the top left so you can flick between different map skins - you can even get the 3D terrain view going 😎 Is that what mean?

@davide_scalzo I was referring to the background map updating overtime as landscape changes.

@davide_scalzo @michaelibrooks Hi Michael, gotcha! Yes it's all live data provided by CartoDB and other open map providers so yes it's going to change and update visually over time, but also new places names, addresses, the works :)

@blocklordapp @michaelibrooks no worries :) If I can ask a question, what would you use it for? Advertisement? Fun? 😃

@navin_nair - hey! You can browse the 500+ blocks already owned here: https://www.blocklord.co/ There's some interesting stuff going on already 😉 To start buying blocks, you need to have MetaMask Chrome extension installed: https://chrome.google.com/websto... Then click on that block you want to buy - add a link, gif and a message and you're good to go!

@navin_nair For game-play there's 3 strategies: You can advertise, share your thoughts / opinions or just make a profit! 🤑 (Most people do the first one!) And in terms of strategy - every block bought is automatically up for sale, meaning you can get bought out at any time. BUT anyone that buys will pay 2x what you paid. So it doubles in value every time. The clincher is, you recieve almost all the profits, but your neighbouring blocks recieve a share too - so it pays to get blocks in populated areas. What dya think?! What places are you eyeing? 😏
