For the last 48 hours I have engaged some read.cash and noise.cash users on a Bitcoin Cash treasure hunt LOL. I love competitions and I came up with one that brings a little fun, competitive reading and searching for clues to 12 recovery words to a BCH wallet on Bitcoin.com wallet that contains the prize. The #BCHTreasureHunt will officially kick off on Monday, March 1, but I decided to have a trial round to give users a glimpse of how it works and what to expect. The Test round was announced 48 hours ago and all clues to the 12 words have been given, and now we wait for someone to restore the wallet and sweep the fund within.
Let's have a look at how the test round went.

The Hunt and Hunters
More than 2 hours after giving all 12 clues to the 12 recovery words, participants were unable to claim the fund which meant that they didn't get all the 12 words right. They asked for more hints and I ended up giving the first letter to all the 12 words. With this last clue, a participant was able to restore the wallet and sweep the $5 worth of BCH within the wallet.
The Hunter that claimed the prize is @carisdaneym2 Congratulations to her. I hope she will make a post on noise.cash or read.cash or even both to confirm that she got the prize.
What Next?
The trial test was a success. I think we are ready to officially begin the Bitcoin Cash Treasure Hunt where there will be two rounds in a month and each round will take 15 days - 12 days for the hunting of the 12 words (one word per day) and the remaining days for prize distribution and a recap of the concluded round.

Sad, I sleep early last night 🙈. But I'm sure there will be next, I will also try that. And this is really fun, tho you really need a good thinking here to decipher the clue.
