Had an idea I can't stop thinking about. What if you combined a wallet like Macadamia with BITCHAT's location-based messaging to run real-world Bitcoin treasure hunts?

The mechanics would work like this: someone mints tokens and embeds them into a location-anchored BITCHAT message — essentially a geocache with actual sats inside. Clues get dropped publicly, players follow the trail, and whoever finds the right spot first claims the Bitcoin.

No app store. No custodian. No signup. Just a wallet, a mesh message, and a prize waiting at a coordinate.

The hunt organizer could layer in as much complexity as they want — simple single-location drops for beginners, or multi-stage puzzles where each location reveals the next clue. Communities could run seasonal hunts. Merchants could use it to drive foot traffic. Tourists could discover neighborhoods chasing sats.

The pieces feel like they're already there. Has anyone experimented with this? Would love to know if there are technical limitations I'm not seeing — or if someone's already doing this?
