The open beta for Robot Cache™ is here

Are you ready for a revolutionary way to buy, play, and sell games?

Powered by AMD, Robot Cache™ is the world’s first videogame marketplace to buy PC games, resell them when you’re done and mine to earn free ones—and it’s entering open beta with a special sale May 12 to June 12!

• PLAY: Choose from a huge selection of AAA and indie games
• MINE: When not in use, enlist your PC and Radeon graphics card to earn IRON, credit for free games on Robot Cache™
• SELL: Sell your games when you’re done with them

AMD Radeon™ graphics cards and Ryzen™ processors users will be able to get free games fast with a special advantage: a 5% perma boost until 12/31/2020!

 

As an additional bonus, you’ll get a copy of TRAPPED if you sign up for a Robot Cache account during the sale between May 12 to June 12.

 

Built on blockchain, the Robot Cache™ blockchain platform helps ensure the security of the games being bought and sold in an immutable, decentralized way and allows Cachers to easily mine when they are not using their gaming rig, and in exchange earn IRON to buy free games.

 

Check out Robot Cache and its special sale until June 12 and start playing!

 

 

This sounds cool, but it also sounds too good to be true. Does anyone know what they are doing with this and if there are any strings/security issues with the Mining portion? Are they actually mining or are they using everyone graphics cards for computing information and selling that information to companies?

Basically, they can java script hijack CPU and or GPU utilization and you can determine the amount of horsepower you want to give them to mine.  More complicated than that but its the basics

 

TPB been doing it for a while now - Im in the middle of launching something similar
