Spiralbtc, an organization that subsidizes Bitcoin projects, launched Saving Satoshi, an interactive book project that has been in development for years.
Spitalbtc characterizes Saving Satoshi as “an interactive role-playing game that uses storytelling and game mechanics to bring developers into the Bitcoin FOSS ecosystem.” This acronym stands for “free, open-source software,” and identifies free open source projects.
The game’s story is set in a futuristic world where humanity faces the outcome of the Bitcoin Mining:
“The year is 2139. There are two weeks until the last bitcoin is mined. For months, a clock has been ticking in Satoshi Plaza. The world waits for the last block. Then suddenly the network stops. You receive a holocat (it’s like any other e-hologram, but this one is shaped like a cat) from someone who goes by the name Satoshi Nakamoto. You open the holocat by touching its nose, curious to hear what it has to say…”

According to Spiralbtc, the illustrations for the “game,” which is more of an interactive book with real computer puzzles, were generated using text-to-image (artificial intelligence) tools like Midjourney.
Saving Satoshi was designed to serve as an approach to developers interested in Bitcoin who want to have a first point of contact. Saving Satoshi’s design is gamified, which seeks to make the experience enjoyable for users.

The developers of this experience ensure that the challenges should be suitable for anyone with basic programming knowledge. The current version of the project, communicates the game website, is in a state of development. proof of concept with the goal of the creative team getting feedback on the overall experience. Spiralbtc claims that this is the reason why the user’s progress is stored in their browser and the story and images are not finalized.
The first chapter, for example, is called “secrets in plain sight,” and places the challenge of finding the message hidden by Satoshi Nakamoto in it genesis blockthe first block in the history of Bitcoin.
This challenge provides a link to go to the bitcoin block explorer and access the message encoded in the SCRIPTSIG (HEX) field, in the Coinbase of the genesis transaction. The challenge consists of deciphering the message, converting it into ASCIIa character code based on the Latin alphabet.
The third part of chapter one teaches how to decrypt outputs from a bitcoin transaction in the OP_RETURN field, a special type of code called that allows users to attach messages.

Saving Satoshi is currently available to play and learn about Bitcoin technology. The first chapter teaches how to decipher hidden messages in Bitcoin blocks. The second addresses the 51% attack, a well-known network security issue. The third and fourth deal with block subsidies and miner rewards. The fifth, about private and public keys.
In total, The game has 10 chapters available, each with an allegorical name of an aspect of bitcoin programming. Each chapter has to be completed before moving on to the next.
Saving Satoshi is not the only game that helps you learn about Bitcoin. As CriptoNoticias reported, there is another one, called Rollercoin, which is a mining simulator that allows you to earn cryptocurrencies real. Decoding Bitcoinalthough more serious, is another practical experience that educates about the operation of the most important crypto asset in the world.
