Casey releases a limited-time puzzle game: Players earn 1 BTC in just 1 hour?

When you click on this article, you may have two reactions: Did the editor return from UC training? Did the editor type it wrong due to hand shaking? However, the story I want to tell you this time is exactly in line with the title. This magical story happened last Sunday.

Last Sunday, November 3rd, at 5 a.m., Ordinals Rune Protocol founder @rodarmor posted a tweet with only three short sentences.

Before he gave further hints, many players in the comment section had already realized that this was an 8-hour puzzle game, which was also the last sentence of the tweet. The prize was the first sentence of the tweet: cactusseeds.

Lets first introduce the prizes. cactusseeds is one of the sub-collections of Dia De Pixales of the No. 0 inscription (the first inscription since the birth of the Ordinals protocol) inscribed by Casey himself. Dia De Pixales is Caseys original art series. On Caseys personal website, we can see Dia De Pixales being displayed on it.

In other words, cactusseeds is the sub-sub-inscription of inscription 0, that is, the grandson inscription. From the figure below, we can see how the father-son inscription mechanism can establish an NFT collection completely on the chain in a decentralized way on Bitcoin without smart contracts.

The top inscription here is the No. 0 inscription. For other projects, it can also be a TXT text inscription to indicate the name of the collection. The second-level inscription can be the collection logo. The second season inscription here is actually a GIF animation, which rotates and displays the 9 skulls of the Dia De Pixales collection, and the last layer of inscriptions is a specific picture of each NFT content. Through such a step-by-step connection, even if there is no collection on the 거래 market, an NFT collection can be very intuitively sorted out on the chain and presented to users.

As for why this Sun inscription is called cactusseeds? You have to ask Casey. However, here we can also see how to name a specific single NFT in the collection, that is, to intentionally find a Satoshi with a corresponding name.

Now, let’s get back to the point. The question is, what is the second sentence of the puzzle, “25138 / 29746”? Six hours later, at 10 am, Casey gave the answer:

The answer has been revealed here – 25138 / 29746 is a set of Minecraft coordinates. Find Casey in the 2b 2 t server! Then Casey himself made it clear:

The first one to find me, cactusseeds is yours

This is not an easy task. 2b 2 t is known as the oldest anarchic Minecraft server. This server was founded in December 2010 and is known for its ruleless and extremely destructive subculture. The extreme destruction brought by complete freedom makes 2b 2 t a beautiful hell.

For new players entering 2b 2 t for the first time, it is difficult to just leave the rebirth area, let alone go to the coordinates specified by Casey. These difficulties include but are not limited to –

-The Rebirth Area has been severely damaged and is full of traps left by old players.

– You need to collect enough resources to reach the coordinates specified by Casey, otherwise you will die of hunger before you even reach the halfway point.

– In the Rebirth Area, old players may continue to bully new players.

Take a look at the rendering of the Rebirth Area below. This picture was taken 4 years ago. The Rebirth Area is full of magma and resources are extremely scarce. It can be called hell…

Nearly an hour later, the winner was born. @Rhynohow l1 became the first person to find Casey in the 2b 2 t server, and Casey immediately transferred cactusseeds to him.

In fact, it may have taken this player less time to find Casey, because it is certain that he did not know what Ordinals were before, and he may not even be a Crypto player. These are all conclusions and inferences drawn from his tweets, because after he called the cactusseeds he got NFT, Ordinals players corrected him in the comment section – this is not an NFT, it is an inscription! In addition, his past tweets are also very few, and there is no content related to Crypto at all.

He also sent a tweet to respond to the comments of Ordinals players – Sorry, it’s not NFT, it’s Ordinals

How did such a person know that Casey was giving away such an important inscription? Was it insider trading? No, no, no, because the information was passed to riths, a streamer who specializes in playing 2b 2 t servers.

Why did this information reach a 2b 2 t anchor who only broadcasts on Saturdays and has a small number of fans? Because @Brunno_UTXO , the co-founder of the Bitcoin NFT project INK, went to this live broadcast room to pass on this information. He also told @Rhynohow l1 in the live broadcast room that he was willing to spend 1 BTC to buy cactusseeds immediately.

This is also the direct source of the general belief that @Rhynohow l1 earned 1 BTC after the event. In fact, @Rhynohow l1 listed the inscription on Magic Eden at a price of 10 BTC, and the highest offer received so far is 0.33 BTC. He listed 10 BTC, most likely because Casey said this in his reply:

「10 BTC, or broken」

Ordinals Another KOL @cbspears also stated in his video that he is willing to spend 5 비트코인s to buy cactusseeds.

Life is full of surprises and accidents. For @Rhynohow l1, it was probably just an ordinary Saturday (Sunday in our time zone) before the incident. He turned on his computer, opened Minecraft, entered the 2b 2 t server to play, and watched and chatted in Rithss Twitch live broadcast room. A sudden message came, and he began to look for the founder of Ordinals Rune Protocol in the virtual world of Minecraft. When this well-known figure in another virtual world appeared in front of him in a Minecraft image that might not seem special to him, he received 1 BTC.

Since the release of the rune MEMENTO•MORI, Casey has become more active and tried to promote the rune ecosystem. After the puzzle game ended, Casey posted a long tweet in the early hours of yesterday morning, saying that he did not want to be like the chief sales officer of other ecosystems who frantically called out orders for specific coins one after another, and hoped to listen to everyones opinions and find some good ways to help promote the rune and even the Ordinals ecosystem.

After Caseys statement, the highest increase of MEMENTO•MORI reached 45%. BlockBeats previously introduced this rune (Related reading: The founder of the Ordinals protocol released a new rune, is it in line with expectations? ). As a rune released by Casey himself, its market value once fell below 10 million US dollars after the casting was completed, which made players even make helpless jokes – Casey is too bad, not as good as Vitaliks dog. After Caseys statement, players views on MEMENTO•MORI also warmed up a lot as the price resumed its upward trend.

Will runes get better? Time will tell. And the story of earning 1 BTC by playing Minecraft for 1 hour has not come to an end. Similarly, time will show us how much cactusseeds will be sold at as the ecosystem and even Bitcoin develop.

But now, this story is exciting enough.
