Dear STEEM community,
First of all, I'd like to thank all of you for the overwhelming response on Super 8 Ball Club announcement. It made me feel that my months of efforts finally paid off. My biggest thanks to @lukestokes for his kind delegation which allowed us to distribute the prize to the winners, and also to @donkeypong for his help in distribution of prize to the winners at the time when I was developing the voting bot for the project.
Super8BallClub's Official Website Google Play Store
In case if any of you missed the announcement post, here's an important snippet:
What is Super 8 Ball Club?
Super 8 Ball Club is an android game that I developed in c# and javascript with my friend. It is the first ever multiplayer-based pool game which allows you to earn STEEM for winning the matches and costs you nothing when you get beaten by your opponent. You know what's the great part? All the players will be Steemians playing with each other in multiplayer mode.
You can download the game from Google Play Store. All the registration procedures are explained in that announcement. If you're hesitated to show your picture on the blockchain, you can hit me up on Discord and send privately to me I'd help you verify your account quickly. Here's our official discord support channel: https://discord.gg/GXR88FT
Today, I'm really excited to announce the following things:
- Profit sharing program for delegators
- Changes in the model of rewards distribution to gamers
- Referral program
Let me start with the most exciting announcement first.
Profit sharing program for delegators - Take away all the SP of author rewards:
We are introducing the greatest profit sharing program for delegators where the rewards potential is unlimited and you don't even need to fear about anything like voting time etc. Using our profit sharing program, you'll take away all the SP from the author rewards. We don't use lottery-based system nor we randomly choose any top 10 or top 3. We're all about equal distributions and we're here to eliminate the inequality.
Using our profit sharing program, you'll earn a minimum of 37.5% rewards. That's 12.5% more than STEEM official curation system. And wait! that's only a minimum. It is very likely that our post will generate profit from others' votes as well and that's why we say that the potential of profit is unlimited. STEEM official system rewards 25% to curator and 75% to author (37.5% SP and 37.5% SBD). Using our program, you'll take away all the SP rewards of the author.
We use the following formula to calculate your profits:
Your delegated SP/Total delegated SP * Author SP rewards = Your profit (from minimum 37.5% to unlimited)
Note: The minimum delegation to earn profits using our profit sharing program is 500 SP.
It means that you'll earn a minimum of 12.5% more than STEEM official curation rewards system with us, as curation rewards are 25% and using our program, it will be 37.5%. We believe that delegating to @super8ballclub using our profit sharing program is much better than vote selling. Here's why:
By delegating to @super8ballclub, not only you're earning 12.5% more than official curation system, but you're also supporting a project that is targeting 100 million people. You're helping a project which does equal distribution and gives everyone a fair chance to earn more using their skills. You're helping a project that can bring millions of users to STEEM blockchain in a very short period of time. As a result of such an increase, STEEM will be distributed widely which will surely have a positive impact on STEEM price. Therefore, by delegating to us, you're helping the STEEM blockchain to grow.
Come on, aren't you aware of the impact Cryptokitty had on Ethereum blockchain? Remember how Ethereum blockchain became congested? They ended up using most of their resources due to the impact of Cryptokitty. STEEM blockchain, on the other hand, can handle such a congestion and that too without using most resources. It's time to prove to the world that STEEM blockchain is superior to other blockchains.
How will profit be distributed to delegators?
Unfortunately, there's no direct and feasible way to deliver the rewards to delegators on the spot. The beneficiary system is limited and we can only add 8 beneficiaries. That's not scalable at all, considering the possibility that (hopefully) there will be many delegators.
To distribute the rewards to delegators, we'll power down every week and transfer your earned profits accordingly. Using power-down, we'll be able to unlock 1/13th of your profits every week. To get the most out of power down operation, we'll start a new power-down every week so that we could start transferring the latest earnings of delegators too. It will take 13 weeks for us to completely deliver your profits but we'll be transferring 1/13th of your profits every week from our @super8ballclub to your wallet.
Changes in the model of rewards distribution to gamers:
In the recent days, the activity of gamers boosted and we received a dozen of payout requests from gamers, it became so painful and difficult to manage 20 comments and assigning beneficiary for each. We had to set all the beneficiaries manually due to the limitation of 8 beneficiaries per post/comment. It made us realize that beneficiary system is not scalable at all.
Therefore, we're dropping the idea of using beneficiaries to distribute the prize. From now, we'll be using SBD liquid rewards to distribute the prize to the winners using our formula. In our recent app update, I've also updated the "Convert shares" tab to inform the gamers that they'll be getting SBD from now and not SP.
There are many advantages of distributing SBD rather than SP:
- There will be many new users on STEEM blockchain. It makes sense to give them the ability to withdraw some liquid money. As a matter of fact, everyone is skeptical when he is new to any platform. Using SBD, it will help us gain the trust of new users on STEEM blockchain. Not everyone understands the vested balance thingy.
- SBD lost its peg long ago. By distributing SBD rather than SP, we can try to achieve the peg again.
- They can decide on their free-will whether they want to invest on the platform or not. It helps to build trust and confidence and motivates the person to give back something to the community.
- We will no longer have to make hundreds of comments to distribute the reward. Rather, we can make 10 posts/comments a day and still distribute the prize to all the winners.
Referral program for gamers:
Steemians are demanding the referral program for a long time. Therefore, I'm pleased to announce a referral program for gamers (steemians). Now you can earn in-game coins by referring your friends and play big matches to earn higher rewards in SBD.
To encourage gamers to refer people, we've kept the rewards high for referring people to Super 8 Ball Club. Since you know that the game (Super 8 Ball Club) is powered by STEEM blockchain and in order to play the game, you'd need a STEEM blockchain account. Therefore, you can say in other words that this referral program will ultimately help the STEEM blockchain. We're expecting hundreds of thousands of people coming to STEEM blockchain (or even several million)
Please note that we only credit the in-game coins when your referred player verifies his account. The verification system is explained in our announcement post with great details. For referring each verified player, you'll get 1,000+ Coins to your Super 8 Ball Club account. Your referred player will get 250+ additional coins as a reward for using your name as a referrer. It will encourage people to use your name as a referrer to get those 250+ coins. Please note that we manually credit the coins to your Super 8 Ball Club account as soon as your referred user successfully verifies his identity.
How to refer people?
Simple, just tell them to write your name in "Referrer" field during the registration through Super 8 Ball Club and tell them that they will get 250+ additional coins for doing so. Once your referred player is verified, we will credit 250+ coins to his account and 1,000+ coins to yours.
Summary:
Super 8 Ball Club is the multiplayer-based pool game developed in C# and Javascript for Android, and it is available to download from Google Play Store. You will earn SBD by winning the matches and will lose nothing when you get beaten by your opponent. Using Photon realtime and chat technology, the game allows Steemians to play with each other in multiplayer and chat in the playroom at the same time. The game is similar to 8 Ball Pool by Miniclip which has 100 million installs just from Google Play Store alone. That means, we're targeting 100 million people using our game.
We've introduced a unique profit sharing program where you can earn a minimum of 37.5% profit. That's 12.5% more than curation system by STEEM blockchain. In order to boost the user base, we've announced a referral program for steemians. Now you can refer your friends to the Super 8 Ball Club game and earn in-game coins which let you play big matches and help you earn more SBD. Remember! You don't lose anything when losing. For more details, please read our game announcement post here.
Please delegate to @super8ballclub:
By delegating to @super8ballclub, you'll earn 12.5% more profits than curation system. We will make the winners announcement and payout posts every day from @super8ballclub and we'll be upvoting them. Every day, there will be 10 posts to spit 10 full votes. From each post, 25% curation rewards will go to the developer and team, SP author rewards (37.5%) will go to the delegators and SBD rewards (37.5%) will fund the reward pool and will be distributed among the winners.
Please help us increase the reward pool by delegating to us. You can delegate using the links below:
500 SP, 1000 SP, 5000 SP, 25000 SP, 100000 SP.
Be sure to leave at least 50SP undelegated on your account.
Note: The minimum delegation to earn profits using our profit sharing program is 500 SP.

awesome project for gaming lover.
nice project and a fun due to bring millions of people here. presently we have a tendency to tend to easily would love the only thanks to plug it outside of Steemit. Am I right?
I want to suggest that if we can do a promotion animation video to explain all of this great idea to the community. Games on a social media is one of the thing that makes new user get on board. And I cherish you for this doing such a great thing. I can see this a start of new era of gaming on Steemit blockchain and this has a first mover advantage. Thanks @princewahaj
Your suggestion is great. I may not be able to make an animated video. I would appreciate if someone could help us in preparing that animated video. He can contact me if there is any question. My upvote is not that big right now but I'm sure others will support that video as well.
Yes, some promotional programs will be announced soon. Stay tuned!

Hello, I have been a video editor for 5+ years and would be more than happy to edit an explanation video for this project.
Verify my id i do post and also send photo in discord.https://steemit.com/verification/@shabaperween/smart-verification-on-steemit-for-super8ballclub-game-53cc6d63832cf
Great idea. Really hope that it will work!
i like pool game
Wow, very cool! Thanks for the shout out. :) I feel pretty good about seeing the vision here and delegating early on, even before I knew there'd be any kind of reward for doing so. I'm a huge fan of games on the blockchain, and I think we need many more of them. Pokemon Go, Candy Crush... all of it. Gaming is the future of mass adoption of cryptocurrency. After Cryptohunt totally failed, I was really encouraged to hear about this.
I need to bug my wife to let me install it on her new phone (I'm on an iPhone), but after this update and shout out, I have even more reason to do.
I absolutely love this quote and completely agree:
This also didn't surprise me:
I'd love to see beneficiaries be super easy for what you want to do, but right now it's just feasible.
If anyone is looking for a referral name to put in, feel free to add
lukestokes
:)Great work! I can't wait to try out the game.
Hey!
Thank you very much for appreciating the work and vision. You've helped us so much by your delegation and just after that our upvote became reasonable. I feel bad that I couldn't start working on iPhone release but I assure you guys that it will be out soon. I'm just trying to improve the game on Android first.
Haha, tell your wife that she'll be earning SBD on it. ;)
Yep guys, add "lukestokes" in the referrer field and I'll reserve the coins for @lukestokes for sure. Don't forget that you'll be getting additional 250+ coins for using his name too.
Thank you once again, your comment made me feel so relaxed.
Iphone version will be great. I really want to play.
An ICO that failed spectacularly? Color me surprised. :p
At least people can start playing without spending money here, and it's a good idea to actually have some form of tangible out-of-steemit-ecosystem monetization in the form of ads. As much as I hate them the sustainability of projects without such recurring sources of funding is always questionable as the profit motive being unclear leaves a big question mark where real answers should be.
Whoops.
Great project and a fun way to bring a lot of people here. Now we just need a way to market it outside of Steemit. Am I right?
Exactly. Refer as many people as you can and earn 1,000 in-game coins for each verified player. ;)
How much is 1 in-game coin worth? Is it relative to Steem or what?
Thanks for information on game sir ,i posted for verification plz check it looking for verification .
My problem is I don t find any player to play with. I am a little bit dissapointed but I will try later when many other players will come.
Hi @jwolf
Thanks for the comment. Are you in our discord channel? People are playing hundreds of games from there. It's just that we are only 10 days old and members are yet to become more active. Due to the different time zones, it can be difficult to get an opponent automatically without hitting up on discord.
Here's an invite link: https://discord.gg/7JqWpk5
Looking forward to having you there. If you need any help, just let me know.
Very cool @princewahaj. Excellent job doing this. Are you planning for an ios release? I will look into the delegation rewards you are offering and keep you in mind for the future.
Hi @thejohalfiles
Thank you for appreciating the efforts. I'm very glad that you guys loved it.
Yeah, I'm planning for an iOS release too. The work is in progress and the code may need a lot more optimizations. I'm just trying to arrange as many versions of iPhones as possible to test the game. But it may still take a long time to release on iOS. This is my main priority and I'll try to do that asap.
Thank you for your consideration. It would be awesome to have your (possible) delegation!
Perfect @princewahaj sounds great. Thanks for putting in this development work. Really looking forward to an iOS release.
@thejohalfiles always keep his promise...and always deliever. he is the Godfather of steemit
looks great
Great efforts. Hope you will succeed. I will watch the progress and possibly delegate in the future. I am loving all the ways the Steem blockchain and reward system can be used other than just blogs.
cool a game on the steemit blockchain....
This is really a great initiative. This is a good time to be in Steemit. Great job.
Getting better!! SBD as a reward is a good idea ;) Delegating would be a very good idea but I can't, I don't have SP. Whoever can delegate, please do! It's a project that have a great future!
this is really very nice and important information keep it continue and I like this Games
Wow! I don't know you can earn SBD now just by playing billiards on your phone. I hope more games like this will be developed for the steem blockchain and steem community.
Very Interesting

Hi, how are you guys and girls?
I'm here to comment on this wonderful post that interests me a lot and I see that it has a lot of boots that means that it has a lot of followers.
Yes, you already entered my post you can see that my publications have to do with bitcoin
Greetings to all
This is a good move, I must say BUT, if this really is a game that requires internet connection, it will be a challenge to us living in places like Nigeria! We have very bad data policies and internet is a bit costly here.
That's sad to hear.
