Many major cryptocurrency projects have faucets as part of their history. As people gain free tokens, they get direct experience with the utility of the project and skin in the game to engage further in the future. I've always been fascinated by this, and it's one of the reasons I've been such a fan of Hive. Instead of filling out a CAPTCHA, Hive users create interesting content for the world that lives on forever on the blockchain and the rewards pool minted by voluntary inflation acts as a HIVE faucet.

As the Managing Director for the FIO Protocol, I've been thinking about how to make a different type of faucet for FIO tokens. I'm also passionate about improving consciousness, awareness, clear seeing, and sound thinking. I'd like to see more wisdom in the world. One of my good friends, Hive account@sean-king, wrote some life maxims which are really fantastic. I've set about not just learning them, but memorizing them so that as I go about my daily life, my sub conscious is thinking about each decision I'm making against the backdrop of these paths for successful living. I feel the same way about logical fallacies. It's not enough to just read them, but you have to actually memorize them and make them part of your thinking patterns in order to avoid making these fallacy mistakes.

I made a thing!

Why not play a fun game to memorize these important life lessons while also having the chance to win some cryptocurrency? I built a crypto faucet game that does exactly that! It currently has Sean's Maxims, logical fallacies, Ray Dalio's Principles, Marcus Aurelius Meditations, and Sayings from Confucius.

It's a very simple game where a phrase is randomly divided into groups of words which you then have to put back in the correct order.

It's fun, and you improve your thinking in the process!

But Wait, There's More!

If you get yourself a FIO Address, you can win FIO Tokens for playing the game! It's a wisdom faucet!

Step 1)

Get a free FIO Address using the Edge Wallet so you can export your FIO private key: https://fioprotocol.io/free-fio-addresses/ If you already have a FIO Address and your FIO Private key, you can skip this step. You can google how to export private keys from Edge, or just slightly swipe left on the FIO wallet until you see this:

And then click the "..." to copy your fioKey which is the private key you'll need to import into Anchor.

Step 2)

Download and install Anchor Wallet by Greymass: https://greymass.com/anchor/ You can use either their desktop or mobile version. The mobile version is a much, much nicer experience. It's an authenticator wallet, similar to Metmask which will allow you to do interesting things such as authenticate with this game.

Step 3)

Import your FIO Private key and select your @active permission for the account with your FIO Address. This will allow you to login to the Wisdom Nuggets website and start winning some FIO tokens!

Step 4)

Play and have fun! https://wisdomnuggets.lukestokes.info/ In the settings, you can autoplay after each success and filter for specific categories of content. I recommend starting with one category at a time to help you really memorize them.

That's it!

As you can see here, I've got over $1,000 of my own FIO tokens in the faucet@stokes account to give away:

The longer you play, the better your odds to win some tokens.

All winnings are pending my manual approval, so if I think someone is trying to manipulate the rewards, I'll mark their FIO address as ineligible, and they won't get anything.

I have a designer friend who told me yesterday he'd be interested in skinning this with a nice design. Now that the basic functionality of the prototype is in place, that may be the next step. Try it out and let me know what you think.

If you like the game, please follow WiseFIOFaucet on Twitter, Tweet out some of your favorite wisdom quotes, and let me know what you think in the comments. What other sayings, quotes, or important messages do you think I should include in the Wisdom Nuggets FIO Faucet?

I also put together a video demo you can see here:
