The eight-year-old tapping game called โ€œBitcoin Minerโ€ is now gaining popularity after allowing players to earn real cryptocurrencyโ€”$BTCโ€”and directly withdraw earned assets through the Lightning Network. 

Whatโ€™s the significance? This article aims to explain what Bitcoin Miner is, how to play the game, and how to earn more $BTC for free. 

What is Bitcoin Miner?

Launched in 2017, Bitcoin Miner is a free-to-play mobile game released by Fumb Games. 

  • Gameplay: Players are tasked to build an elite mining operation of multiple cryptocurrencies and locations,
    • Players can also hire developers to create popular projects and then sell their portfolio for stronger GPUs.ย 
  • Display: As an idle tapping game, the game is presented in retro-style pixel art with a chiptune soundtrack.
  • Initially: Fumb Games released the game without real rewardsโ€”the game is not considered โ€œplay-to-earnโ€ because players will not gain crypto for playing.
    • This made the game almost a dead one and no one cared about making a try playing it.ย 

โ€œNothing happened. Like, literally nothing happened at all. We basically sat in the stores for three years, doing I reckon probably under 500 installs in all that timeโ€”which, as you know, is nothing on mobile.โ€

  • Not until 2022, when Fumb Games inked a partnership with ZBD, a gaming platform that focuses on integrating payments and transactions using Bitcoin L2 Lightning Network into games and entertainment applications.ย 
  • The Result: Bitcoin Miner added an update where players can earn $BTC and withdraw satoshi, the smallest unit of $BTC.ย

Key Quote: 

โ€œPeople have said in the past that blockchain solves a problem that doesn’t exist. You know, I’ve heard that said beforeโ€”but it literally solves our problem fully. We couldn’t pay out with PayPal; the fees are too high. The Bitcoin Lightning Network literally makes this whole economy work for our game.โ€
