As announced on the company this Saturday, during the development of The Lightning Conference in Berlin, Germany.Lightnite was conceived in the style battle royale, and features two game modes: integrated with bitcoin and not integrated with bitcoin. In the first the player can charge their balance through transactions using the Lightning Network to play games or buy items.It is important to clarify that this is not a “pay to play”, but refers to the charging of funds, reported Frederick Spitaleri, co-founder of Satoshis.games, through a communication Medium. In the second game the participants accumulate points, and not bitcoins. Players who prefer this modality also may purchase items in the store using their national currencies.The players win or lose bitcoins if you break down their rivals or if they receive shots, respectively.

The amount of bitcoins of each participant is increased to shoot accurately to other players, or in the collection of valuable objects.
