Huh, this seems like a pretty interesting and different use of the technology, and probably a hint at what's to come. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually most virtual items in games were tied to a blockchain of some sort, with a free marketplace behind it. I bet there's probably an alt-coin or five out there that's planning on being the goto currency for exactly that purpose.

- cableshaft 9y agoI don't mean specific to a single game. I mean a general one that can be hooked into any and all games, with an API and what not. Avatar Island doesn't seem any different than Cryptokitties according to that article. It's still cool, though.
