Title: Bitcoin Geocaching with Bitscavenger.net
Post by: JustJake on April 22, 2013, 07:30:42 PM
I wanted to let people know that I have created a Bitcoin Geocaching game available for Android.  You use the QR Codes you see around you every day to leave bitcoin and a clue about where to find the correct QR code to scan.  That will then show up as a marker on the game map and allow other people to search for the bitcoin you have left.

I have a larger write up about it here:

seems like a very costly game for some nowadays - like the idea though

I think I set the lower limit of what you can place in a QR cache at 500 satoshi.  I don't think that will break the bank :).

It brings up a great point though...  Bitcoin is a miraculous gem in the realm of game micro-transactions.  Finite control of pricing as well as a low friction system for getting value in and out of your game system.  Monetarily interact directly with your customers and save the horrible transaction fees.
