A one-duck army building bitcoin games 🦆
Honest, practical bitcoin payments and rewards — dropped into genuinely fun games. No web3. No defi. No scams. Just the best money in the world, baked into play.
I'm Christian Moss (aka MandelDuck) — an indie game dev and bitcoin nerd based in Tokyo. I've been jamming real bitcoin into games since 2014, back when everyone said it couldn't be done. Co-founder of ZBD, builder of weird and wonderful games, and a firm believer that the best way to learn bitcoin is to earn it while having fun.
These days I build downloadable bitcoin games that anyone can run at conferences, bitcoin hubs, meetups, bars and coworking spaces. Plug in ZBD or LNbits, and let people play & earn sats.
