What's the most surprising thing you've learned building sMiles?
Great question!
There were a couple things which were interesting and surprising.
- We can actually incentivize people to walk more, and be more healthy, through a small Bitcoin incentive.
- Once we added chess as an in-app game, we discovered it to be very popular. Users love to play chess games or solve chess puzzles, and receive sats rewards for them.
- Onboarding Lightning users is much quicker than anticipated, but there is still work to be done to make it super easy for the average consumer

What are some of your plans for making it super easy for the average consumer?

Some of the things we already did, like enabling users to earn bitcoin simply for walking, as well as gamifying and simplifying UI. It's important for us that users can find ways to get familiar with everyday earning, before doing a significant action like a purchase.
And there are other things which we are working on the UI / UX side.
Sometimes, the connection to, and education about Lightning still plays a role. For example we get questions like "how can withdraw my sats to my Coinbase wallet".
This means that many still have a singular point of entry into Bitcoin, which is frequently a company like Coinbase.
