I couldn’t tell you how many hours I spent mining false Bitcoin in the wireless game Empty Mine, which pays out actual Bitcoin as you play, but it’s definitely more than I’d like to say.

It’s definitely more than is warranted, based on how many Cryptocurrency I’ve banked.

Like mobile developer Fumb Games ‘ other Bitcoin-earning titles, including Bitcoin Miner and SpaceY, Idle Mine is a simple, nearly mindless experience that rewards regular play on iOS or Android by paying out stacks of satoshis (aka 1/100, 000, 000 BTC ).

Idle Mine assigns you the task of mining electronic gems, upgrading your digging technique, and occasionally dropping you bits of Bitcoin as you work toward particular goals and milestones. It’s almost thrilling things, and as the name suggests, the game more or less plays itself—you’ll just need to click a button and obtain power-ups every so often to maintain boosting your income.

Empty Mine only reinforces the idea that number-go-up activities that pay out actual BTC are damned near attractive, and I’m still playing Bitcoin Miner every day for more than a year.

It sounds like jingling the tips in front of a child in degen. Even though I’m not a degen, I’m aware that the revenue these aren’t particularly high, so I keep coming back.

Empty Mine isn’t as powerful as Bitcoin Miner, yet. It doesn’t package as much character, as you’re really mining rose and emeralds and the like in a general 3D environment, rather than fake-mining cryptocurrencies in a lively pixel operation. And sure, there’s unfortunately no Doge here.

But it’s an easy game to roll on when you’re zoning out on the couch, sitting on the station, or doing household chores. And certainly, there’s actual Bitcoin up for grabs here, which you can retreat to a ZBD wallet and therefore invest or transfer abroad as desired.

And I’ve earned of satoshis … worth maybe$ 4 in all. However, given that I’ve probably been playing the Idle Mine game for 20 to 30 days along the way, it basically generates the same amount of coins ‘ worth of BTC per hour that most Bitcoin sports offer.

There are worse ways to spend your free occasions, no fear. But there are better people, also.
