Building a Bitcoin Treasure Hunt Community…For $1.5M On the Moon

Nakamoto_1 is sending $1.5m of BTC to the moon (literally). The scavenger hunt starts on Earth. The community is on Console.

In Q4 of 2023, a SpaceX rocket will send the Lunar Outpost Rover to the moon. The rover will be engraved with a private key that unlocks 62 BTC. The first to obtain the private key will be the first to collect the prize (currently worth $1.5M.)

On earth, the NFT mint to fund the BTC wallet starts on Tuesday, March 28th. Secondary sales will take place on Gamma.io, the Bitcoin NFT Marketplace.

As if that’s not enough excitement to send us into orbit, Nakamoto_1 holders will compete in a game to unlock the coveted NFT prize: A rare Android NFT. 

‍Launching Nakamoto_1 on Console

‍Nakamoto_1 is facilitated by the cryptocurrency trading platform LunarCrush. Ian Tidwell, LunarCrush NFT Community Manager, told us, “We want to present a new kind of experience to the Nakamoto_1 community. Something more custom and elevated with extreme attention to detail and we felt that Console met these needs.”

Console’s homepage, docs, and events features are built so that the Nakamoto_1 community is able to create separate flows for public and minted viewers. 

As opposed to Discord, where onboarding often involves identity verification using risky third-party bots, Console streamlines the onboarding process through a simple-yet-secure web wallet login feature, whereby community admins set the gating rules. New users can go from pre-mint to Nakamoto_1 member in less than 60 seconds. As the hunt begins, members will be able to chat and coordinate with each other in Console's NFT-gated chat rooms.

Tidwell shared that, “Consoles' clean look aligned with our needs and we couldn't be happier with our decision. It made sense to opt for a native Web3 product instead of trying to force a Web2 solution." ‍

Join the Web3 Space Race 

‍If you want to be part of the hunt, you can join Nakamoto_1 on Console and follow them on Twitter @nakamoto1.  After the Nakamoto_1 NFT mint on March 28, the Console community will be token-gated for members only, and the scavenger hunt to win rare Android NFTs will begin. 

Meanwhile, 25% of proceeds from the NFT sale will be sent to the bitcoin address on moon, and we’ll all have to wait to see which human (company, government, or other being) is able to somehow find their way to the Lunar Outpost on the moon, and cash in. ‍

"When you put out a seemingly unachievable goal, the innovation that happens can be incredible. It's like Willy Wonka's 'golden ticket' for the Web3 era, and we couldn't be more excited to see how it all unfolds.” — Joe Vezzani, CEO of LunarCrush.‍

Console is happy to be on this journey with Nakamoto_1, to the moon and back. Learn more about Nakamoto_1 on their website, or join us on Console.
