the next Bitcoin minerFumb Games is back with another idle mining game that lets you earn real Bitcoin – appropriately called Idle Mine: Earn Real Bitcoin.

While the end result of earning Bitcoin for playing a game iOS and Android The game is pretty much the same, Idle Mine is actually a completely different game from Bitcoin Miner. Bitcoin Miner is all about cryptocurrencies, allowing you to mine fake coins Bitcoin, Dogecoinand Ethereum To power your pixel mining operation, Idle Mine changes gears as you discover rare gems and minerals.

It's a shift in atmosphere, but Idle Mine: Earn Real Bitcoin is another game that's hard to put down, offering a steady stream of satoshis - the smallest unit of Bitcoin, 1/100,000,000 BTC - for completing simple tasks. This makes it an ideal game to play while watching TV, sitting on the train, or doing other mundane tasks throughout the day.

We've played a lot of Idle Mine already, collecting thousands of satoshis along the way, so we've put together this list of quick tips that will help you boost your production and net more BTC to withdraw to your ZBD wallet — all without spending real money.

Use Speed ​​Boost x2

Bitcoin-earning games like this make their money by combining gameplay with video advertising; This is just the reality of the situation. Fortunately, Idle Mine isn't pushy about this, and it incentivizes you to watch ads by giving you rewards that can increase your earnings.

In our experience, a x2 speed boost is essential. Press the button at the bottom of the screen, and after watching the ad, the miners and miners will all move twice as fast as normal. This means faster mining, which means your in-game resource balance will build up faster, so you can accumulate Bitcoin at a faster rate.

Initially, this boost will last for 5 minutes. But this time frame can be greatly expanded by spending magical gems to upgrade your artifacts. Which brings us to…

Upgrade your artifacts

Tapping the little genie's lamp button at the bottom of the screen opens the Artifacts upgrade menu, allowing you to spend your accumulated pink magical gems - obtained by completing quests and collecting gifts - to enhance certain game items.

In our experience, the most valuable upgrade is tied to our first tip: increasing the amount of time the speed boost lasts by x2 via the Enchanted Pocket Watch. After some upgrades, our boost now lasts over 20 minutes after watching a single ad, and can go even further.

Other particularly useful upgrades worth prioritizing include the Money Plant, which boosts the passive income that occasionally falls into your lap, as well as upgrades tied to customer tips – the Tip Genie Lamp and the Tip Cauldron.

Offline income is usually a big hit in games like this, but we didn't find it particularly impactful in Idle Mine, so you may not want to focus on the Mystic Sandglass upgrade that boosts offline earnings while you're not playing.

Get the free daily gift

The easy thing here: just enter the in-game store once a day to get the free gift, which is either a backpack full of items you can equip to your miner, or a set of magical gems. While it's not a huge benefit on either front, it's a freebie that will help boost your game. You might as well grab it!

Follow the missions

You can play Idle Mine however you want, whether you want to prioritize upgrading every available resource or invest in upgrades at the mine level. It's all helpful, and there's no real wrong way to go about things, although some strategies provide quicker benefits than others.

If you want to play somewhat on autopilot and just reap the rewards, follow the last mission shown at the top of the screen. This will usually point you towards the next resource worth boosting, based on the lowest price for doing so, or the next major mine upgrade worth purchasing. In many cases, you will earn a magical gem in the process.

Hit the landmarks

As you upgrade your gem mining abilities for each of the assets in question, there are milestones along the way that not only provide a big jump in terms of profits, but also add satoshis to your balance once they pass.

For example, you will achieve these milestones at level 10, 25, 50, and beyond depending on which level you are playing. So, when you spend coins to upgrade your ability to mine agates, rubies, and the like, aim to pass the next stage with each batch. This will help your overall progress with clear seat stacking throughout.

Play daily challenges

Idle Mine's core gameplay loop takes you through a set of levels and then lets you start over, a little stronger and more effective each time. But there are also daily challenge levels available by clicking on the trophy button in the top right corner, and these usually provide a faster way to earn Bitcoin.

These timed challenges come with unique obstacles, such as slower miners or higher-priced upgrades, but they also result in more satoshi being eliminated as you play. These challenges can be difficult due to the additional variables, but they will earn you more Bitcoin than just playing the normal course. There are three daily challenges that can eventually be unlocked, depending on your player level.

Upgrade your gear

You'll earn mining equipment as you play, including hats and various tools – and while these provide a bit of visual flair for your workers, they can also boost your attributes. Each piece has a different rarity level and attribute improvements, plus you can upgrade them by salvaging other pieces of collected gear, boosting their level and making them more useful over time.

For example, the “Rubber Chicken” tool we upgraded to level 4 now provides a 164% increase in all profits, as well as a 31% chance of extracting a “Perfect Product” and securing an “Instant Mine” that takes no time at all. Just make sure to keep salvaging things as you get them, and focus on upgrading Legendary level equipment.
