In the mobile phone game "Fold AR", Bitcoin is collected on the street

 


In collaboration with the Bitcoin company Fold, the game developer Niantic has developed a game app based on the "Pokémon Go" principle. Instead of Pokémon, however, Fold AR searches for Bitcoin.

Find Bitcoin while walking in the middle of the street? That is possible. The game developer Niantic, known for “Pokémon Go”, has developed an augmented reality (AR) game for the financial company Fold . It's called Fold AR and works according to the “Pokémon Go” principle: Users: inside look for items on the street that hide Bitcoin.

However, the bitcoins are issued as satoshi, the smallest unit of bitcoin. To put it simply, it is the bitcoin cent, 100,000,000 satoshi correspond to one bitcoin. So you can't win a lot of money with the game, for that you would have to gamble a lot and persistently. The game is currently only playable for fold customers using the app of the same name. Fold gives its users a debit credit card to which Bitcoin can be deposited and which customers can then use to make regular payments.

Players will find new Bitcoin along the way

This card can be loaded with new Bitcoin through the AR game. Players have to walk around like in "Pokémon Go" to find the symbols with Bitcoin. According to Fold, a new block appears every ten minutes, which users then have to open to access the cryptocurrency it contains. With this, the creators want to remind you of the usual mining of cryptocurrency.

However, not every item is a joy: “Shitcoins” and “poison pills” should also be found, which are not good for the player. For protection, orange pills can be found that seem to iron out or prevent the bad finds.

Game wants to make cryptocurrency more approachable

With the Bitcoin game Fold wants to create an "alternative version of the Metaverse" according to his own statement. The game does not take place in a purely digital environment but is built into reality according to the AR principle. The aim is to make the elusive cryptocurrency more accessible for gamers - after all, they encounter Bitcoin right on their own doorstep.

The game does not count towards the term metaverse. After all, no new reality is deliberately created, but the existing reality is the basis of the game; it is supplemented according to the AR principle. This is without question an expansion, but not an innovation as envisaged by the Metaverse .

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
