I could not tell you exactly how many hours I spent on keeping fake gems in the mobile game inactive mine, who pays real bitcoin while you play – but it is probably more than I would like to admit.
It is certainly more than justified, based on how much bitcoin I have received.
Just like the other Bitcoin earnings of the mobile developer FUMB Games, including Bitcoin Miner and Spacey, Idle Mine is a simple, almost brainless experience that regularly rewards play on iOS or Android by piles of Satoshis (AKA 1/100,000,000 BTC) too pay.

Idle Mine counts you with the mines of digital precious stones and upgrading your excavation operation, dropping your pieces Bitcoin here and there while you complete missions and touch certain milestones. It is hardly compelling things, and as the title suggests, the game more or less is more or less self-you just have to tap a button and to collect power-ups every so often to keep stimulating your income.
But I still play Bitcoin Miner every day after more than a year, and Idle Mine only strengthens the starting point that Number-Go-up games that pay for real BTC are almost irresistible.
It is the one equivalent of jingling keys for a baby. I am not even the one, and I know very well that the income here is not considerable in any way – but I keep coming back.
However, Idle Mine is not as mandatory as Bitcoin Miner. It does not contain that much personality, because you are only Ruby and Emeralds and the like in a generic 3D environment, instead of fake-minende cryptocurrencies in a lively pixel operation. And yes, unfortunately there is no doge here.
But it is a simple game to get through when you are on the couch, sit on the train or do household tasks. And indeed, there is real Bitcoin for grasping, which you can withdraw to a ZBD wallet and then you can spend or transfer elsewhere as desired.

And I deserve thousands From Satoshis … maybe worth $ 4 in total. But given the fact that I have probably opened the idle mine game for 20 to 30 hours on the road, it actually comes out at the same speed of pennies to BTC per hour that most Bitcoin games deliver.
There are worse ways to spend your free moments, undoubtedly. But there are also better ones.
