Kinda cool, make it extremely challenging though or someone will get it too quickly. Might want to look into "A Treasure's Trove" and books of that sort for the basics. Also 1 btc seems low for a worldwide hunt, but I guess for some it isn't about the money but the thrill of solving the puzzles.
If I were to send 1 BTC to some address, all one would need to steal that money is the corresponding private key. Since a private key is nothing more than a 256-bit number, I was thinking about making a treasure map of sorts.
for example, is a private key. So what sort of treasure hunt can I create that will make it possible for someone to discover the private key and therefore win the bounty?
I'm imagining a series of clues (think National Treasure), but not too obvious. If it's to be a world-wide hunt, it must therefore be difficult to crack. I don't want to hide the private key on a website or anything, but rather have the pieces be freely found in the public. So perhaps
Would love feedback and ideas.
