Belgrade, Serbia — , a Blockchain company driving innovation in the games industry, today announced the company has signed a deal with , creator of the world’s most popular creation engine, that will bring the benefits of blockchain to more than 3 billion devices and millions of game developers worldwide.
[Note: This is a press release.]
Unity Technologies has proven once again that it’s got its finger on the pulse of the gaming industry by throwing its weight behind blockchain. The world’s largest game-development software provider has powered up its ‘engine’ by teaming up with GNation and its digital asset, GameCredits, to usher in a new era of gaming.
Recognized by Unity as having the world’s strongest gaming digital asset, is now in the company of other Unity partners, like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, and Sony.
“Unity is known for aggressively adopting new technologies that democratize game development, solve hard problems and enable success for developers. With GameCredits, we intend to bring about a paradigm shift in the gaming industry. Blockchain solutions will help disintermediate game publishing and give better returns to creators,” said Hubert Larenaudie, President Asia Pacific, Unity Technologies.
“Our partnership with Unity Technologies is a major step forward for both the gaming industry and the blockchain world. With GPlay and our eSport platform, we are bringing the benefits of blockchain and digital assets to the largest global audience yet, enabling true mainstream adoption of these technologies for the first time,” said Sergey Sholom, GameCredits CEO and GPlay President.
You don’t have to be a genius to work out that the backing of a company that influences 80% of the mobile and 50% of the desktop gaming market is huge news for the digital asset market. For a company that has previously broken records with its MobileGo crowdsale in early 2017, it’s just another step towards a bright future.
Despite the fact that this partnership will boost their digital asset’s market value, the founders of GNation consider this as a matter of secondary importance. As ex-professional gamers, eSports organizers and game developers they have met and dealt with industry problems on all possible levels. Now they want to solve them using the power of blockchain.
Everything GNation has achieved so far is just a fraction of the company’s overall ambitions. Over the next two months, the company will announce new alliances and a host of new blockchain products to revolutionize the gaming and digital asset worlds.
Although the collaboration with Unity marks a big day for the world’s youngest nation, it seems that it is only one step in their swift rise to the top. In September this year, GNation joined Hyperledger – becoming the first digital asset firm to team up with the consortium – and has promised to announce a partnership with another established tech giant at the end of this month.
Perhaps one of these companies will get a safe pass to future, while the other will benefit from walking the bridge of tradition. We will only know after the partnership is officially announced.
For now, at least one thing is clear: GNation is much more than just another gaming community.

In case there were any remaining doubts, it now seems clear that the SegWit2x hard fork will not happen.
The SegWit2x project, a product of the signed onto by a of companies and miners in May, had scheduled a hard fork to double bitcoin’s block weight limit today. And while the effort was by leaders of the project last week, this would not have stopped anyone else from proceeding with it. Companies like were indeed that the SegWit2x hard fork could still happen.
The Fork That Wasn’t
SegWit2x nodes — most notably — were programmed to fork away from the bitcoin blockchain this afternoon (UTC) to create the SegWit2x blockchain and a new currency, often referred to as. However, SegWit2x block has been mined since fork point, nor is there any indication that this is likely to happen. For all intents and purposes, there is no SegWit2x — nor a B2X.
Further, software bugs in the btc1 codebase made all btc1 implementations grind to a halt even before it reached the expected fork point. While bitcoin and SegWit2x nodes were widely to share a single blockchain up until block 494783 and then to go their own ways at block 494784, btc1 nodes never made it past block 494782.
This is mainly because the first block on the SegWit2x chain was to have a “base block” larger than one megabyte. This is how the chain would diverge from the original bitcoin protocol. But due to what is referred to as an “off-by-one error,” SegWit2x blocks started to reject smaller-than-one-megabyte blocks one block too soon — at block 494,783 instead of 494,784.
Moreover, another btc1 bug miners from mining a big enough block when it was needed. So even if some miners did want to proceed with the fork, they accidentally wouldn’t have done so — at least not automatically. Miners would instead have had to manually configure their block weight settings, but it’s unlikely they knew about this step. Btc1 maintainer Jeff Garzik (while also there was a problem) has since released a to resolve this issue.
But judging by the absence of any SegWit2x blocks, the patch hasn’t made a difference, most likely because few, if any, miners were interested in mining on the SegWit2x chain in the first place.
NO2X?
Despite the seeming failure of SegWit2x to take off in any way, it should be noted that there is technically no way to declare a fork like SegWit2x officially “dead” or “failed.”
While unlikely, it’s always possible that the SegWit2x hard fork could proceed at some point in the future. In fact, there is no way to tell whether the SegWit2x chain is currently being mined with a little bit of hash power right now, and it is strictly impossible to foresee whether it will be mined later on. Perhaps a SegWit2x block will be found a day from now, a week from now or even ten years from now, at which point SegWit2x and B2X will technically come into existence.
However, since the SegWit2x chain did not include a mining difficulty reset, it will be as hard to mine a B2X block as it currently is to mine a BTC block. Meanwhile, market support for B2X appears to be extremely low, with trading below 2 percent of BTC. So even if miners decide to mine B2X blocks, they’d almost certainly be earning far less than they would by mining BTC. Or, more accurately, they’d spend more on electricity bills than they’d be able to earn by mining B2X. The financial incentive to mine the SegWit2x chain just isn’t there.
Alternatively, SegWit2x could see a bit of a rebirth in the form of “” (BTX). This project, supposedly started by disappointed SegWit2x supporters, will take a snapshot of bitcoin balances at block height 494,783 and start a SegWit2x-like altcoin that offers all BTC holders the equivalent amount in BTX. Though, while this coin is arguably more viable than B2X thanks to a mining difficulty reset and more, it really is a new coin — arguably even more so than B2X would have been.
