Bitcoin Mining Game 'Miner Wars' Expands With New Features

GoMining's Bitcoin mining game Miner Wars expanded its functionality on Tuesday, adding newbie-friendly “welcome packages” and “clan leagues” for competitive players, greatly increasing the potential for GameFi to be involved in real-world Bitcoin mining.

GoMining reports that since Miner Wars launched in September, it has attracted over 165,000 active players and paid out over 144 BTC (equivalent to over $13 million at current rates).

“At the intersection of digital mining and GameFi, Miner Wars has found an audience that is loyal and stable,” GoMining CEO Mark Zalan said in a statement. He added that the new features will lead to “a new level of user engagement and interest.”

The game provides access to GoMining’s real-world bitcoin mining infrastructure via cross-chain “miner” NFTs, which represent a real-world share of the company’s mining centers. The digital miners have been released on Solana, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and The Open Network (TON) platforms and can be traded on GoMining’s marketplace or on third-party platforms like Magic Eden.

By purchasing miner NFTs, users effectively become part of a mining pool and receive proportional rewards when the pool mines a Bitcoin block. Users can then upgrade their NFTs, potentially increasing their chances of receiving Bitcoin rewards in the process.

NFT digital miners are also used to participate in Miner Wars, which boosts productivity and adds multipliers, offering higher rewards than regular mining payouts. The game runs about 120-150 rounds daily, offering roughly 1 Bitcoin in prizes along with rewards in the form of GOMINING, the company’s Ethereum-based token.

By joining the game, users use the computing power of their NFT mining, expressed in terahashes, to compete with other players by uniting into clans or groups.

In recent updates, these clans are now organized into leagues, increasing the level of competition with weekly promotions and relegations based on performance. Clans can be placed in a lower-tier league, such as the Dune League, which is designed for newcomers, or promoted to the Odyssey League, which offers larger prizes but is designed for more experienced and “elite” Miner Wars players.

The company is also introducing welcome packages with free bonuses that will help users “get familiar with the Miner Wars interface and mechanics,” GoMining content marketing manager Laila Effiong told Decrypt .

While mining, or the process of securing and verifying blocks on Bitcoin’s proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain, is a technically complex and energy-intensive process, GoMining aims to make it easier and educate more cryptocurrency users. The company claims to have more than 3.5 million users worldwide, and its data centers have 7.5 million terahashes of computing power.

“Mining is a complex process and we cannot underestimate it,” Effiong said, emphasizing the difficulty of maintaining GoMining’s global operations efficiently. “But GoMining’s end users should not feel any burden.”
