🙋🏻 How do I apply?
If you’re building a self-funded video-game that has or is planning to integrate lightning OR features Bitcoin as a main theme of your game then you can apply!
---
❓ Why bitcoin video-games?
Current video-games limit how players can earn and interact in the game. The players are the product!
This is because they lack an internet-native currency that can enable in-game economies through micro-transactions.
Bitcoin fixes this.
---
🎊 Lightning fix this
Lightning enables micro-transactions, instant payments, programmability, and is a bearer asset.
Gaming is a no-brainer use case to raise Bitcoin awareness and education to players around the world.

🏆 Celebrating bitcoin gaming

we wanted to celebrate and showcase the power of lightning micropayments to the use case of gaming.

💰 How the Grant works
Thanks to Zebedee, Guilds and Anonymous Bitcoiners we are donating 10Million Satoshis towards bitcoin games. Grant funds will be distributed proportionally to the number of community votes received. Anyone can vote with their Sats: 1 Sat = 1 vote!

We accept contributions!
If you're interested in sponsoring the grant feel free to send some sats to ⚡️bitcoingaminggrant@geyser.fund or doing so directly on Geyser.

What applying for the Bitcoin Gaming Grant on #[0] would do for you as a game dev/game studio?
The Bitcoin Gaming Grant isn’t just an opportunity for you to get funding for your gaming project.
Applying for this grant will help build your gaming project in the following ways:
✨1. You’ll build a community around your game.
What makes a game a success? It’s its community. One of the criteria for being a beneficiary of the grant is getting votes for your project.
And people will be voting for your game on Geyser with their bitcoin.
The grant will then be distributed in proportion to the votes you got. What better way to get votes than by building a community?
With a community, you have a ready group of people who consistently play your games and support your project.
And whether you win the grant or not, this community will be with you for life. So if you need an incentive to build a community around your game, this is it.
🤝 2. You’ll learn to market your game.
Sort of piggybacking on the first point above, games don’t get popular overnight.
Because the game with the most votes will get a chance to partake in the grant, you’ll have to promote your game a lot.
If you’ve never actively talked about your game or showed the gameplay of your game, then applying for this grant will give you the opportunity to start practicing what marketing your game would be like for you.
Everyone’s approach is different.
Maybe for your kind of game, telling a story would work better.
Maybe for you is showing gameplay.
Maybe it’s building your game in public for people to see how it’s done and be part of the journey with you.
Maybe it’s streaming it on your own channel.
Or maybe it’s all.
💪 3. You’ll acquire new skills.
It’s one thing to build a game but it’s another to build a game for bitcoin.
Integrating lightning payments (if that’s something you want to do), using the ZBD API, or connecting other bitcoin tools to your game are new skills you will learn.
And what better way to acquire or even sharpen those skills than by doing?
As you build or implement your ideas, you’ll be learning new ways to do it.
Bitcoin in gaming is very early.
I hope this inspires you to apply for the Bitcoin Gaming Grant and make your bitcoin game come to life. 🧡
Game on! 🎮👾
Will be starting a Bitcoin gaming project soon. No more procrastination this time 💪
Wish me luck!
Yummy!
Looks like a win-win to me. 😅
What is it? It looks delicious
Oh my gosh! Thank you for all the sats! I was wondering why my phone kept beeping 😅😂
Something that allows you to give your tip box a title so people know what the tips will be used for. It would have been nice to have it on Alby, to be honest 😅
Here’s the link to the game: https://nostrawars.netlify.app/#/
And if you have time to play here’s the npub: npub145e2sge6naxzkjgnc9pghce24tg60d4tfegz2jc5hx5unzeuv82sxqdhl0
I’m here! And I’m not addicted to Nostr! 🫠
Oh! But how is Nostrnest able to transmit live audio?
Sorry if it’s a stupid question. I’m not really technical 😅
What’s a good bitcoin tipping platform? Something like #[0] but you can write out what the purpose of the tips are for.
Got a message and I want to start executing on it. More details soon. 😅
Tried the game. It’s engaging but challenging. Can’t wait to see what else they come up with!
Let me know when you’re available to play
