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.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

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 Smiley.

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.
