Destroy 10,000 bitcoin - Get 10,000 sats
1221 sats \ 9 comments \ @jasonb 9 Apr gaming lol bitcoin

Yesterday I revealed this ridiculously stupid game - https://mempooldotspaceinvaders.space

Today I would like to offer up a bounty for whoever can first destroy 10,000 bitcoin[1]. You've got three clear ways to pull this off:

  1. Just be really good at the game or play as many free games as necessary to luckily shoot down some whales.
  2. Pay to continue - not a wise strategy as the continue button is more expensive than a normal lightning game. Admittedly I'm hoping some folks do this as it's a pretty massive dopamine hit to get payments from these lightning games. Highly recommended if you've never done it. But yeah, don't use this approach to get the bounty. The house always wins.
  3. The people's approach - Throw up a 10,000 bitcoin transaction to yourself and wait for it to show up in mempool.space's mempool[2]. Then blast it out of the water - er - space. Just make sure not to spend too much in fees or you'll eat up all your winnings.

One ground rule. I've added this "share to nostr" option. Sharing a note like this does NOT count for the bounty as its too easy to fake.

I want to see a screenshot of your actual "game over" screen. If you go through the effort to fake that for 10,000 sats, you definitely deserve them.

Happy hunting!

  1. I know this is in ~lol territory, but the bounty is very real! ↩

  2. As you potentially may not have a 10,000 bitcoin UTXO lying around, I might also suggest doing it with two 5,000 bitcoin transactions. Just make sure that they are broadcast close enough together that you can shoot both of them in the same game. ↩

Yesterday I tried for 20 minutes, and the best I could do was 30!

628.8 in a game under 20 minutes. I didn't time it, but since only one block passed, that's my guess.

Here's a few observations that may help.

  1. The size of the ship is the amount of BTC in the transaction. The amount of shields it has is the tx size in virtual bytes. So I always pause to give two shots to bigger ships since they might be exchange transactions or something like that.
  2. Time of day definitely matters. When I made this, all of my games in that session were actually less than a single bitcoin. So basically, there's a massive amount of luck involved if you're playing specifically for this bounty.

I just had a couple games that got up to ~4k btc, but it really does come down to getting lucky with a big transaction or two.

If I'm not thinking about the bounty, it might be fun if there were occasional powerups that came down (especially something that re-ups your shields.

I was thinking about doing that for the passing of blocks. Maybe a shied renewal thing you could grab whenever a block passes? I really do want someone to be able to claim this.

This is a fun game but considering I could only get to 250BTC destroyed I doubt I will reach the 10k.
