Hello everyone and welcome to the brand spanking new Steem Clan Satoshi's Treasure account. What started out as a bit of fun has now grown into a clan that is a serious contender in the Satoshi's Treasure Hunt. We are currently on key 10 which arrived down today. More on that in the next post.Out of the ten keys we have solved all but 2. The 2 that are unsolved have not been solved by anyone. So we are neck and neck with the other teams. One of our hunters retrieved some business cards also so technically we are ahead of the game.
The benefits of having our own account is that all our posts about the hunt will now be here instead of trying to find them in a personal account.
Once we build up our steem power we may also be in a position to upvote our hunters, curation trails, . The possibilities are endless.
Thanks to 
Primitive Ventures mission is to bring bitcoin to the masses. They looked at ways to do this. A video game was one option and a treasure hunt was another. Bitcoin is a global currency. So a global treasure hunt would be perfect for this type of promotion. They raised over a million dollars in bitcoin and have transferred it into a wallet. They have divided the account into 1000 keys. By using Shamir's secret algorithm 400 keys will be able to transfer the funds into our wallet. Each Sunday (so far) they have released a clue. And we have been working hard to solve them. Our mission if we are successful we will then buy steem from our bitcoin and transfer it into a steem wallet. Our hunters will have Satoshi Treasure Tokens so we will buy the tokens from them with the winnings and they can do as they please with the Steem.
In order to be fair to everyone we wanted to set up a rewards system that rewards our contributors fairly. We have issued 1 million tokens on steem-engine. This corresponds to the unit value of the prize itself. We have to solve 400 keys which is 2500 tokens per key. Once a key is found we will distribute the tokens to the keys contributors. Obviously the key retriever will receive the most tokens but we also have an active pool so everyone that partakes in the hunt will receive some tokens depending on contribution. We think this is a great way to do it. Not many platforms have their own tokens. This is why Steem is a strength on this mission. We are a closed community so this is a positive also. Many groups do not have a reward based system like ours. The hunt will take at least a year so we want hunters to come and go as they please and have some fun in the process. Some keys will suit some hunters so we want to have a large pool of Steemians who can help solve the puzzles.
So there we have it. If anyone wants to join our hunt please comment below or join the waiting room in our discord channel. Please state your Steem name and we will verify you in less than an hour. We would like as many people to join. Please do not think the clues are out of your level of expertise.You would be amazed how much you can contribute if you follow a key from the very start of a hunt. Our current key requires us to do our Steemit gesture and post to Twitter to form a chain. A blockchain so to speak.
If you like solving puzzles , having a bit of a laugh and joining a growing community that love the Steem platform then this is for you.
