⚡ LightningWars - Last Man Standing Laser Game

Invitation-only promotional pilot

Every player for themselves. Four hits ends your run.

LightningWars starts with one or two small invitation-only pilot sessions led by H. Begeman through an existing entity. The goal is to find out whether Bitcoin holders enjoy a physical, skill-based game built around Lightning identity and instant settlement. After those sessions, logs and payment records are reviewed for accounting, legal, and KSA-style scrutiny before any public rollout. The game can be played outside in a forest, around an event location, or inside a larger office or venue. The core format stays simple: survive longer, play sharper, finish higher.

01

Last man standing

There are no teams in the main format. Every player competes alone, and the match keeps narrowing until the strongest survivors reach the final ranking.

02

Four-hit elimination

A player is eliminated after four confirmed hits. The live system tracks the match, updates player status, and supports the final result.

03

Portable arena

We bring the game to the setting: forest routes, outdoor fields, company grounds, event halls, or office spaces with enough room to move safely.

Player preparation

Bring a charged phone and a funded Lightning wallet.

LNURL is central to LightningWars. It is how the game recognizes who you are, links your nickname to the match, and knows where your payout can go. Any compatible Lightning Address or LNURL wallet can be used. Please arrive with your phone charged and your wallet ready before the game starts.

Recommended wallet

Any compatible Lightning Address or LNURL wallet can be used. We currently recommend Wallet of Satoshi as the easiest pilot option for first-time players because it gives you a Lightning Address quickly and works well with LNURL-style payment flows.

Where to find it

In Wallet of Satoshi, press Receive. Your Lightning Address is shown under the QR code, for example player@walletofsatoshi.com. That address is your reusable wallet identity for the game.

Add enough funds

Each player pays a EUR 12 pilot participation fee for a 20-minute game. Add enough sats before arrival so check-in stays fast and the match can start on time.

1

Install

Install a Lightning wallet and charge your phone.

2

Find

Open Receive and copy the Lightning Address under your QR code.

3

Check in

Use that LNURL/Lightning identity when joining the match.

4

Play

Your player profile, result, and payout destination stay linked.

LightningWars wallet

Scan the Lightning Address QR to create a fresh invoice from the LightningWars wallet.

The public wallet route uses LNURL-pay for lightningwars@lightningwars.com. Wallets request a new LNbits-backed invoice at payment time, so the QR is a stable address instead of an expiring invoice.

lightningwars@lightningwars.com LNURL-pay creates a fresh Lightning invoice when scanned.

Match pool

Instead of only points, the top three receive part of the match pool.

Every player contributes the same EUR 12 pilot fee before the match. A routing reserve is kept for Lightning fees, 10% is kept by LightningWars for pilot operation costs, and the net player payout is split across first, second, and third place. For a three-player winner group, the current split is 50% / 30% / 20% of the net player payout. The exact split is shown before play, so everyone knows the rules and the payout logic up front. The result is based on live physical play, movement, timing, accuracy, and survival, not random drawing or chance selection.

Trust and independence

Built as a skill-based pilot with clear boundaries.

LightningWars is an invitation-only promotional pilot organized by H. Begeman through an existing entity. The current plan is to run one or two small pilot sessions, collect logs, review payment/accounting records, and then seek accountant, legal, and KSA-style review before any public launch. The goal is to test a physical, autonomous player experience where players bring their own compatible Lightning wallet identity and keep control of their payout destination.

Player-owned wallet identity

Players can use any compatible Lightning Address or LNURL wallet. Wallet of Satoshi is only the easiest pilot recommendation. We never ask for seed phrases, private keys, or wallet passwords.

Clear operating boundaries

LightningWars is not an exchange, wallet provider, investment product, or trading service. Bitcoin is moved over Lightning for identity, payment, audit trail, and settlement around a physical skill-based game.

Visible rules before play

Players see the price, routing reserve, LightningWars fee, payout split, safety rules, refund policy, and wallet destination before joining the match.

Review before public launch

The pilot is not a broad public launch. The next milestone is a small evidence bundle: session logs, payment records, payout results, safety notes, and questions for accountant, legal, and KSA-style review.

For partners and early reviewers

Built for short demos, pilot nights, and practical feedback.

The next useful step is not a broad public launch. LightningWars is ready for controlled conversations with Bitcoin/Lightning companies, event organizers, venues, and advisors who can review the experience, the wallet flow, and the operating boundaries before anything scales.

01

Intro call

A short review of the live game concept, Lightning identity, match pool logic, and current pilot boundaries.

03

Controlled pilot

A small adult-only session can be arranged when the location, safety rules, equipment, and payment mode are ready.

04

Evidence review

Logs, payment records, payout results, safety notes, and open questions are collected for practical follow-up.

Good early reviewers

Bitcoin and Lightning companies
Meetup organizers and BTC communities
Event venues and activation partners
Payment, accounting, and compliance-minded advisors

What we want feedback on

Whether the live game is immediately understandable
Whether the Lightning identity flow feels natural
Whether the match-pool and payout wording is clear
Which boundaries need tightening before a wider launch

Demo review request

Start with a controlled LightningWars review.

Tell us who you are, what kind of review or pilot you have in mind, and whether you are looking from a Bitcoin, event, venue, or advisory angle. We will confirm whether the space, timing, safety, wallet setup, payment flow, and review purpose are ready for the next step.

Name Email Preferred date Expected pilot players Review angle Notes I accept the rules, safety notice, terms, privacy policy, and refund policy. I understand that my Lightning Address is used as my player ID and payout destination. I confirm that every participating player is 18 or older.

Booking form delivery is a temporary static-site setup for selected pilot conversations. You can also email hello@lightningwars.com. A logged request endpoint is needed before a wider rollout.
