Hi, we're launching a new app called www.coinding.com It's a real world treasure hunt.

We help people get their first bitcoins with an interactive multiplayer game. There's going to be bitcoins hidden on the streets of every city, and you collect them for free while walking with your cell phone.
Also, we'll link places that accept bitcoins so you can see their location in the map. We just launched the sign up page with a contest to help us pick the first city for the launch! there will be a lot of cool prizes for the winning city!

Its basically Google Ingress meets BTC faucets. We've been working for some time on this, and is a great way to bring users that dont understand bitcoins yet (we'll implement game dinamics to explain mining and other concepts) and by linking shops that accept bitcoins we're helping them get exposure aswell!

Help us with your feedback, thoughts or just drop us an email to say hi.

Well, there are loads of way we can monetize in the future. For example, lets say you normally go for a run, you could potentially pay 10 bucks for a service that puts coins in your running path, if you go for a run every day you get the money back, if you skip a day, you loose that money and that's the site commision.  This is just an example from the top of my head. Obv you also have the ol' advertising for new bitcoins shops that want to attract  new customers. If you pay x amount to get bitcoins spread in your city as a shop, those customers will be coming back to your shop, so it benefits everyone Smiley

Can anyone use it to attract people to a specific spot?

{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".

We're very cautious about security of people. For now we're setting up were the btc are located on our own based on different information and time schedules for each city we launch. If we add a crowsourced mechanism for setting up places, first thing on the list is the security, always.

Interesting idea, E. Sorta like btc geocaching?

Sounds like you're still ironing some things out. To that end, you should probably see here.

Hopefully its whole world and not just to a specific country...

"Every city"? Maybe say "most major cities in the US". For other countries, it is some of the biggest cities at most.
