Well, yesterday technically, but who's counting.

...and it was 622 sats (shout out, CK)

view on primal.net

From a distance of about 20m, here was the deal: If I knocked down the tower by throwing rocks, @Shugard would pay me 1000 sats... but for every throw, he deducted 21 sats. So after 47 (and a half) throws, I'd be in an ever+growing tower-sats debt.

(@Undisciplined will tell me whether it calculated this deal well)

At first it was just fun, throwing for the hell of it.

For sure, I can do this in 47 throws, right?

Missed the first ten — some by quite large margin.

Maybe I can't do this??

Missed the next seven...

Ugh, have I gotten myself into a baaad deal? A risky real-life @predyx bet?

...and on throw #18, out of the blue, precisely when I had started doubting myself for real — I hit the tower and it all fell down!!

I was jumping around, shouting like a crazy person. Wooooooaaaah, I did it!!

622 fresh new sats, gimme gimme gimme!622 fresh new sats, gimme gimme gimme!

This sounds like a fun game.

Sometimes it’s the silly bets and small wins that hit the hardest. 622 sats and a sunset—solid day!
