My last post doesn’t contain the image I was uploading. The loading bar did appear to be at 100% when I hit post so perhaps something else went wrong.

UX Suggestion: If uploading an image, don’t allow me post the note until the image is ready to go with it. @npub1xts…kk5s

Wow, this was a year ago.
Since this comment I got burned by a few P&E games and like them less, but I stilll stand by the definitions. 😁 #rewardedgames https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_a7987e7736b6035abf53f5408cea045c1e4f226a007cc44d670320c651b56247.jpeg

That’s odd! Did you get my zap?

Figured it all out now. Love it.

TIL threads on nostr don’t work the same as Twitter. 😁

6. 🚀 Our biggest update in Q1 was adding weekly events that allowed players to blast a rockership to the moon every weekend. These have been loved by players and it shows with our spikes in active users and feedback in Discord. It’s helping us invest and scale the game more!

5. 🔐 Next up, security. Giving away value (bitcoin) attracts bad actors (hackers/exploiters). This means an exploit that is usually harmless (complete the game faster/high leaderboard score) can turn into a costly exposure. When paired with the anonymity blockchains introduce, this means a player could spin up multiple accounts to exploit the system. We have to work a lot harder than ever before to protect the game and our players.

4. ♻️ Player Rewards. Despite earning the majority of our revenue from Tier 1 markets, our players can collect the same amount of bitcoin no matter where they are in the world. We think this is a cool thing and has proven sustainable so plan to continue this in our upcoming games

3. 🎮 It’s clear that “Play to Earn” projects have burned market perception of a value creation play model. The new definition I think fits better is Rewarded Play so will be using this going forward. (Credit goes to Mark @ BearHugGames for bringing this term to light)

2. 👑 Discord is king. We focused on Discord from day one and have 100,000 players there. We built our systems around it with custom bots, events, plus 90% of our player support runs through it. Infact, 10% of players who play Bitcoin Miner, join our Discord…

1. 🌎 It’s global. From the 1M downloads, our top 5 markets by active players are US, GB, DE, BR, PH. This often surprises people as it seems most “web3 games” are played almost entirely in emerging markets.

Now we’ve hit 1M+ players, here’s my top 6 learnings from running the world’s biggest bitcoin game… 🧵

#[0] super curious if you’ve played Bitcoin Miner & earned any satoshi’s yet? Team morale would go through the roof if they knew that you tried it! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bitcoin-miner-idle-tycoon/id1413770650

Normie here: there were only 3 things I find confusing (therefore friction): relays, nip-05 verification, changing profile pic
If that was ELI5 somehow, would be great.

I think only Ben says it, and he was bootleg poet in a previous life.
