An excellent idea! Here's the beauty of it. Nobody has to donate their Bitcoin for the $10,000 prize. Nor would donations need to be collected. Ask me how that can be done in this thread. Back in about an hour--going to fry some zucchini.

Advertisers?
No. But a good guess. Pattaya! (only kidding)
Seriously, with Tim Dedopulos, the author of the book mentioned by the OP, as well as many others.
http://www.amazon.com/Tim-Dedopulos/e/B001H6II14Since his sole income, possibly, is based on sales of books, all that needs to be done is approach him with the idea where he'll allocate $10,000 from the sale of the
The Great Bitcoin Treasure Hunt toward the prize, and still recognize a potential handsome profit. It's safe to say that's how he's doing it with his original idea. Bitcoin will be the catalyst for his second treasure hunt book, thereby starting a whole series of books he'll be able to enjoy a profit stream from.
It's either that or hide Bitcoin in Ladyboy's pants.
