Our history
What do you do when suddenly the whole world goes into lockdown during a massive pandemic? You finally find the time to work on that one great idea you had but never managed to get started on. That is exactly what Bill Shihara, the co-founder of Bittrex, a Global Cryptocurrency Exchange, and Jeroen Van den Bosch, a veteran in the gaming industry, decided to do in February of 2020.
The concept was easy enough: make a game with the objective to explore your city and find hidden vaults with small amounts of cryptocurrencies inside. Airdrops are cool, but what if we turn them into a fun geolocation game that rewards players for exploring their neighborhoods?
To Bill and Jeroen that sounded like a fun way to both get some exercise in and receive some free bitcoin!
Six months later the beta of Coin Hunt! was launched and players have been finding free cryptocurrencies in their cities ever since.
