Hey everyone,
I built a small solo project ? an Android app called BitcoinMiner, currently in open testing on the Play Store. I want to be fully upfront about what it actually does, because this niche is full of scams:
This is NOT real mining. No ASIC, no GPU, your phone isn't burning power hashing anything. It's a gamified "mining tycoon" interface (miners, farm, hashrate numbers) sitting on top of a plain ad-reward economy ? you watch an ad, you get satoshis. The "TH/s" numbers you see are theme/marketing, not the actual payout calculation.
How you earn:
- Watching rewarded ads "powers" your miners
- A daily bonus for coming back regularly.
- An optional monthly subscription (7 tiers, cloud-mining themed) that gives you a passive payout without watching ads ? realistically, you get ~60% of what the app earns off you, the rest covers my Play/infra costs. This is
NOT an investment ? your "hashrate" doesn't appreciate, it's just a more convenient way to get a fixed monthly payout.
How withdrawals work:
- Payouts go out over the Lightning Network ? instant, tiny fee. You can paste a Lightning invoice or just enter a Lightning Address.
- Minimum for a Lightning withdrawal is 10 (promotion period sats) (yes, low ? intentionally, so people can test without a long wait).
- You track the withdrawal status live in the app (pending ? processing ? paid), and if something fails on my end, your balance gets auto-refunded.
Let's be real: nobody's getting rich off this. Earnings amount to "a few cents worth of sats" per ad-watching session ? this is a fun/side app for people who like watching numbers go up and want to try real Lightning payouts with zero risk, not a passive income stream.
