Maybe you guys remember my post about an Austrian ICO a few weeks ago:
HEROcoin - the first Austrian ICO is here! FREE TOKEN for everyone!
Since I wrote about the ICO back then, I also want to give you guys a update now.
Before we come to the news, here is a little video showing what HERO is about:
The ICO is over - what now?
After the succesful ICO, the team behind HERO was busy handling the many bounty request. Since they offered many options to get some bounties, a lot of them were issued.
But of course giving out bounties isn't the only thing they have been doing since them. Another big thing they have been doing was forming a partnership with esports.com.
This could be huge - two companies focusing on a industry which will for sure have big growth in the next years. Sounds promising.
I am really looking forward to 2018, when the Coin is going to be implemented on herosphere.gg. Their roadmap is clearly showing that this is a longterm project. This is great - eSports are just developing and rising to record heights every year.
How can I still get Herocoins?
If you have missed your chance at the ICO or during the hunt for bounties - here is your chance! A few bounty-hunters without any deeper interest in the project are already selling their token even before the official launch on the exchanges.
For example I picked up some coins on EtherDelta for under half the ICO-price today. Here is the link to ED: https://etherdelta.com/#0xe477292f1b3268687a29376116b0ed27a9c76170-ETH
But you don't even need to invest money if you want some of their coins. You might as well be creative and win some PLAY by suggesting a great slogan -> Klick me!
And I even got another chance for fellow stemmians.
Giveaway for Steemians!
Want to get some coins without investing any money? Well, I give you the chance to do so!
In order to compete for the coins, you will just have to post your opinion on HERO. What do you like about it? What features would you like to see on the site?
Just post what you can think of.
The three best posts will receive 333 PLAY token as a reward.
My thoughts
Of course I am not taking part myself. However I still want to share mine.
In my opinion this sounds like project with a lot of potential for the future. Nearly all 14 to 18 year olds I know compete in eSports or at least watch them. But I guess nobody doubts the potential of eSports in genereal, since it even is discussed to get olympic in the future.
So the question is not, if eSports betting will come - The question is where the users will bet. And I see some good points for HERO here.
They have a running product (herosphere.gg)
They are set in Austria - a country with a friendly attitude to startups and cryptocurrencies.
Their product looks good. In a modern world of many alternatives, a beautiful product can make the difference. And their product definitely is catchy and looks great.
So if they don't mess up and deliver, they could rise quickly. And with them, their coin could rise big as well. So I will definitely stay in for now and even buy some more PLAY if bounty-hunters continue to drop.
Of course there is still the risk that some other company makes the business in the long run. However I have not found better alternatives yet. If you know some, point them out to me please.
Disclaimer: This post is my personal opinion, I´m not advising you to invest into HERO nor do I take any responsibility for your investments. I also want to set clear that I am not working with or for HERO.
Another game-bet game-something coin.
Not the first, not the last one.
What others do you have in mind? What's your favorite one?
Sorry for late reply.
I've lost some btcs to scams in the are. It was in 2015 I think.
Thanks
You are welcome :) What are your thoughts on the project?
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

Wise words ;)
Focused on gaming. I love all type of games. For me this one is promissing.
Did you try their page yet? :) I must say I have not - but since you seem to be into gaming, maybe you have!
This is a great post I really need to get into this myself. Thank you for providing our community with this post. Keep it up.
Tell me what you think after you have picked up some more information :)
The project sounds interesting and the future of betting is definitely blockchain based. I especially like the dividends part as a non betting person myself. Not sure how the project stacks up to NoLimitCoin for example, maybe a comparison could be interesting. Cheers :)
Thanks for you answer, I will look into NoLimitCoin ;) I will share my thoughts later!
EDIT:/ A first look into NoLimitCoin has shown me that it is about FantasySports - this should be quite a different market to betting on eSports. Maybe there will be some overlays in the future, however I see those projects act in mainly different areas. NoLimitCoin doesn't seem to be classic betting ;)
I thought esports included all types of gaming :) When will you be announcing what the best comment were?

Hi, I am playing in hero's platform and is really a great project. I think gaming is the future and HEROcoin will be one of the next bitcoin.. Good luck and thanks for your post!
As someone from Austria, this is great! Gonna try and learn more about the Austrian crypto landscape.
Great ;)
You don't happen to play Age of Empires II? If you do, visit @steemleague!
I actually do on occasion! Gonna check it out.
Generally I get a lot of gaming done as I've been Alpha/Beta testing for over 15 years. AoEII is still a good time though. For something more modern in the same vein I suggest you have a look at "Spellforce 3" which I feel is a nice combination of classic age of empires mechanics and warcraft III unit and hero customisation.
I met Philipp Peinsold Co-Founder & CTO of Hero in Linz. An absolutely exciting story. In some e-games in the usa and in London, the 2 people watch up to 70,000 spectators, so you can see how big the e-games community is already. If they can still bet on A or B then it adds to the tension. And here comes Hero, just great !! PS: e-games should be Olympic soon, what does that mean ....
Hey, do you have any ideas how I could incorporate/promote HERO coin on my stream? (I'm based in Vienna)
