Minecraft, the immensely popular sandbox game, has introduced an exciting twist – players can now mine Bitcoin while constructing blocks. This innovative feature is made possible by a third-party server called Satlantis, as reported by thecoinrepublic.
By joining Satlantis, players can earn Satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin, every 10 minutes. To get started, players need a virtual ASIC miner powered by emeralds. With this miner, gamers can increase their hash rate, which directly impacts their chances of earning Satoshis.
According to Zebedee
The startup behind this technology, over 1 million Satoshis, equivalent to approximately $300, are distributed on a weekly basis. This means that players are not just spending their time in vain; they are actively participating in a real-world financial ecosystem.
The ASIC miners in the game are organized into different tiers. The lowest tier adds 10 to the hash rate, while higher tiers can provide up to 40. To further boost their earnings, players can join clans, where they can combine their hash rates and share the profits based on individual contributions.
Calculating the probability of winning is a straightforward process. Divide your hash rate by the global rate, multiply by 100, and voila – you have your odds of a Satoshi windfall. Additionally, there is a marketplace where players can trade virtual items for Satoshis, adding an extra level of excitement to the earning dynamics.
However, earning Bitcoin in the game is not entirely free. Players need to acquire an ASIC miner, which can be obtained through either a battle pass or the marketplace. For the battle pass option, there are two tiers available. The free tier requires reaching level 51 to obtain an “Elliptic Key,” which is necessary to acquire the miner. The premium tier, priced at $40, significantly reduces the required level to 10.
Obtaining emeralds, the in-game fuel for the ASIC miners, is also done in a unique way. Unlike in traditional Minecraft, emeralds are acquired by trading ores and sugar in the lobby.
In summary
Satlantis offers Minecraft enthusiasts an exhilarating way to engage with the game while also delving into the world of cryptocurrency. The server transforms virtual mining into real-world value, reshaping our perception of online gaming and its financial potential.
