Satsoverflow - earn bitcoin for answering questions

This is really neat! I'd suggest that charging to ask questions, and then distributing those funds to accepted answers would be a better model. Well done though - very cool.

Does anyone know of a good first wallet to let kids use bitcoin and learn? I'd love to get my kids seeing how saving works with Bitcoin, but they are too young to have phones. A physical piggybank with a display screen & built in lightning wallet sounds ideal for this purpose.

Ideas?

Bitcoin Piggybank - or another good wallet for kids?

Idea: New Mining Pool Reward Type

Related question: is there a pool where I can currently override my share difficulty to simulate this experience? Setting a difficulty that is too high for my hash power, but hoping to get lucky to hit a single share.

First off: I apologize if this already exists, or if it doesn't work for some reason (I'm here to learn, so please tell me if so).

I recently started playing around with an Antminer S9 for the learning experience. When choosing a mining pool, I looked at 'regular' pools as well as at solo ckpool. The allure of winning the lottery when solo mining is compelling, particularly when a single S9 will only generate a small handful of sats daily in a shared pool. So this got me to thinking...

What if there was a shared pool that split rewards similar to how real world lotteries do. Rather than counting just one type of 'share', the pool would could track a few different types of shares at different set difficulties. All miners who hit "high" difficulty shares split say 50% of the block reward. The difficulty would be set so that there are only a small number of winners at this share difficulty. This could allow a home miner such as myself the thrill of getting a much larger than regular award if I get lucky, while still collecting some rewards for getting lower level shares.

A sample split could be:

Block Found (10% of reward pool ):  1 winner
High Difficulty Share Found (split 15% of reward pool ): ~1 to 20 winners
Medium Difficulty Share Found  (split 25% of reward pool ): ~20 to 100 winners
Low Difficulty Share Found  (split 50% of reward pool ): ~100 to 1,000 winners

Maybe it's just me - but as someone doing this for fun and education, I'd enjoy variable rewards with lots of luck involved. But not so luck based as trying to hit a solo block that is unlikely to happen in my lifetime.

Just an idea. Thoughts?

Hi - I run a small game studio. We hold 100% of our reserves in Bitcoin, but have yet to incorporate Bitcoin into our products in any way. We have multiple games in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store with in-app purchases. What’s the best way to get started building Bitcoin into our games?
