I think it's a cool idea and and good start, I think it would be more educational if it used real metrics and miners but scaled down in cost of course, let people see difference between buying 10 bitaxes or an s9, things like this

Like buy an s19, uses this much kilowatts, and used the real Bitcoin difficulty etc

Of course that's a huge job I understand lol but if you wanted my ideas on how to improve it

Perfect thanks 👍 I thought of doing just that and haven't yet for the reason you provide 😁 Things change quickly so it would need regular updating I think. I'll give it some more thought. My main issue at the moment is getting people interested in the game and part with their sats to play 😄 Will probably add some more mini-games, tasks as extra ways to earn gSats.

50% to opensats is too much, very noble of you, but to get more users going maybe payout 95% and keep a 5% "mining pool fee" for yourself

Users like to gamble and you need incentives to grow it

Opensats just got 10 million dollars they're good while you bootstrap lol

Good point 👍 I guess our 10k sats donations aren't making a huge impact. It's the thought that counts, right? 😄 Re the miner names. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to put the real ones in. Just need to determine their relative efficiency and cost. I think implementing real bitcoin difficulty in the game might not work. Currently players just win blocks based on their relative hash power, no diff calcs required. There's also no block payout in the game, since players don't actually do work (for electricity) to win blocks, so it doesn't really make sense to have it. Appreciate your feedback 💚
