Update Massive 500 XUN nugget hidden in mine

Update: Energy drink power up now available. Resteem this post and earn yourself a Energy Drink which allows you to mine a one time bonus of 3 coordinates. Say that you have resteemed with your 3 extra guesses in the comments (I will check).

The Game


One of the Ultranote developers had become tired trying to mine XUN with his very old laptop and it's gigantic 10h/s. Rather than saving up and buying a more powerful mining beast, he decided to instead, dig his own XUN mine right under his house.

He named his mine Nichop's Shaft.

However, the authorities in Cryptoland took a dim view of this enterprise and he was arrested leaving the mine unused and full of XUN nuggets to be found.

The Hidden Mineable Nuggets


There are 28 nuggets to be found and mined:

  • 1 x 500 xun
  • 1 x 100 xun
  • 2 x 50 xun
  • 4 x 25 xun
  • 20 x 10 xun

How to play


Each miner can make 3 guesses per day by cross-referencing and stating the grid coordinates in the comments i.e. A6, P19, E1. I will let you know if you have found a nugget in the reply or, if any coordinates are already taken and you didn't spot them in the comments then I WILL let you have another go for each duplicate.

Note! The nuggets can be anywhere on the grid under the ground, even in the white spaces away from the shafts in the picture. The game ends on the 3th March 18:00GMT. Any left over XUN will be rolled over and added to the next game.

You MUST have a Ultranote Wallet address which I will ask you for if any nuggets are found. Although, if you don't want the coins or are not interested in Ultranote at this time, you can still play as I will send your winnings to the charity wallet on your behalf. A wallet can easily be downloaded or an online wallet created by going to https://ultranote.org

As a former game dev I love how crypto mining is being combined with gaming. Dragonglass has done it and the above, which you cover sounds really interesting to me. Thank you for showcasing it.

I can imagine a future where something like a WoW raid or Diablo dungeon rewards a cryptocurrency. Participation = validation on the chain et al.

It's such an interesting future, even if it ends up with Angry Crypto Birds or Crypto Run casual games. I can't wait.

Thanks buddy. Yea, would be interesting to see something like that. I've followed you btw ;)

Thank you. In my reply, I forgot to have a go at your game lol.

G12, G13 and G14.

Sorry for delay. Newbie bandwidth recharge required.
G12 = Rock, rock and more rock
G13 = You forgot to bring your budgie, gas pocket hit, you pass out
G14 = Dinosaur bones, a new species
Try your luck again tomorrow :)

Pick and headlamp in hand: Q18, J11, A11

Resteem Energy Drink keeps me goining: C33, F17, G8

You drink your energy drink and head down the mine for the second time today.
C33 - You find some Lead
G8 - You find some more Lead ... this is turning into a very boring day for you.
F17 - One last try ... Woo Hoo!!! .... A 10 XUN Nugget .. Almost covers the cost of all the pickaxes you broke

Please reply with your address so I can transfer the coins. Don't forget to try again tomorrow. P.s. sorry about the delay, I was waiting for my bandwidth to recharge

WooHoo!

Coins sent :)

You finally decided to join in on the XUN rush sweeping Cryptoland. After buying yourself a new pickaxe and lamp, you finally descend into Nichop's Shaft seeking your fame and fortune.
Q18 - You break your pickaxe ... god damn it
J11 - After going back to the surface and purchasing another for twice the price (they are in demand) you have another go and break your pickaxe
A11 - Another miner feels sorry for you and give you his, you find nothing but rock

After wake up from a long celebration of yesterday success, I start searching again:-) lets finish that left corner with U1, U2 and U3

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Energized from yesterdays success, and after spending it all on better equipment, you head back down the mine for another day
U1 - Nothing ... That's fine, the new equipment will pay off ... early days yet
U2 - Nadda ... You start to worry
U3 - Bugger all .. You leave the mine feeling deflated and depressed ... will tomorrow be the day you strike xun??????

Better luck tomorrow. Don't forget your resteem powerup for 3 more goes today.

Hah, bad luck. Still worthy, your comments makes me always smile:-)

Haha trying to work at the same time. Just making shite up as I go :P lol

Hello again, starting to know my way around the tunnels by now...
Today I'll go for J4, K4, and L4

After getting lost for hours because you were being cocky and didn't take your map, you eventually find your favorite mining spots.
J4 - More hours wasted and you found nothing
K4 - You found some Tin
L4 - Wondering why you bothered. It's been a bad day ... not a sausage
Please try again tomorrow.

M4 - If you write a line of zeroes, it´s still nothing
N4 - Do not look too far for you will see nothing.
O4 - Darkness does not age; nothing is always nothing
Last Day tomorrow. Good luck. I will do another game map with some more power ups and twice as much hidden XUN

Almost forget to take a shot today:-) let's stay in the left corner and try V1,V2,V3

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Here you go again. Yet another day of hard labour in the hope that you hit the jackpot and can retire early
V2 - Oooo something that has not been mined before ... Aluminium
V3 - You pulled a muscle as the rock was especially hard ... right until the last of it, nothing but rock.
V1 - You toil away for hours, sweating and aching and then catch a glimpse of some large and shiny .... You have only gone and found the biggest nugget of xun so far ...... 50 xun Nugget found!!!!!

Haha thank god mate, thought you would never find one. Please reply with your wallet address. If you are not interested in the coin then let me know and I will send to our charity wallet. Please have another go tomorrow or use the power up (resteem) to get another 3 goes straight away.
