IRON will allow gamers to not only purchase their favorite PC video games but also to sell them to other gamers on the Robot Cache platform. All of this is accomplished by expertly leveraging the power, flexibility, and transparency of blockchain technology. Also, we are pioneering a new and exciting concept dubbed “Proof of Gaming.” Proof of Gaming will allow gamers to mine cryptocurrencies using our Robot Cache client, for which we will reward them with IRON. The Robot Cache client will also have a real-time tracker that allows gamers to see just how much IRON they will be rewarded for their mining. If you want to find a large group with high-performance video graphics cards, then look no further than the PC video game community. Now, gamers can put their video graphics cards to use when they’re not playing their favorite games by checking a box in the Robot Cache client to opt-in to mine. The IRON that gamers receive after mining - their “Proof of Gaming” - will then be available to be used to buy PC video games on the Robot Cache platform.
