First: the “idle” label is deceptive. You will make almost zero progress in the game while you are away. That’s because all of these games are based on ad revenue, which is minuscule, and you’re only getting a tiny fraction of that. So if you’re not watching ads, you’re not making sats (a tiny fraction of a bitcoin). That part is real. You do seem to earn sats at a very slow rate. About 850 sats to a dollar. A couple hours of tapping this idiotic game will net you a few hundred sats if you watch all of the optional ads. Because remember, if you’re not watching ads, nobody’s making money. Do the math. You’ll make more money looking for dropped change on the sidewalk, and have a more enjoyable time doing it. Last thing I’ll say is, the Bitcoin thing is just a gimmick and ironically it makes it even harder to get your earnings. You’ll need to go through ZBD, their proprietary financial intermediary, then to your own crypto wallet. If you want to turn your spare time into games and cash, it’s more direct and lucrative to use one of the apps that pay straight out to PayPal, etc… and then simply buy crypto through a legit exchange.
Thank you for the review. The earning of SATs is at a fixed rate, and isn't impacted by the amount of the advertising that you watch, although I can appreciate that rewarded ads do help with game progress in the early game. Idle Mine is a game that benefits from long-term play, and the earnings will gradually improve as you make your way through the game. Earning SATs while the game is closed is also not possible due TOS restrictions. The Idle aspect of the game comes from the fact that the game can still play without 100% of your attention. We're working on improving additional idle features on top of this, such as the offline income feature, and more. Remember, this game is free-to-play. For those are a big fan of games like this, it's another type of those games, only this one pays you on top of that for your gameplay. It's not meant to be a job, but it's a nice added bonus!
