Guide to Crypto Gaming & Mining Simulators
Play-to-earn (P2E) games are popular in the crypto space and allow players to earn crypto-based assets and NFTs by completing tasks, winning battles, selling in-game items, and more. While you can always earn crypto by buying, selling, and trading assets, P2E games offer a more enjoyable, interactive option. Though P2E games shouldn't replace traditional trading, they're certainly a fun way to make a little extra on the side.
Many P2E games involve NFTs (non-fungible tokens). In such a setting, an NFT can represent any in-game asset, such as an avatar, weapon, clothing item, or piece of land. Tokenizing in-game items can give them value, and NFTs offer the perfect avenue for this. P2E users can also be rewarded with fungible tokens or cryptocurrencies.

PipeFlare.io
Pipeflare is a faucet and gaming platform where the user can earn various cryptocurrencies such as ZCash (ZEC), Flares (FLR) or Polygon (MATIC) and play various games such as FLARE HIT and BEATBOX by Pipeflare Gaming and FLARE JUMP by Zombie Soup. These games can be described as the classic cases of “incredibly simple, super addictive” games that can reward players with some extra crypto 1FLR coins at the same time.
Extra faucet multiplier is given for loyalty according to the following matrix.
Moreover, an extra multiplier is given for connecting the social media accounts of the users to ensure their authentication.
Currently, users can link Facebook, Google, Twitter and Linkedin accounts. The amount of accounts linked determines the final multiplier of the users for higher earnings in every faucet claim. This means that the more the users are being authenticated, the higher the multiplier and higher the rewards will be! This feature is intended to help ensure real the deserved rewards and and exclude any malicious actors from using the Faucet. |
UplandUpland is an EOS blockchain-powered metaverse similar to SandBox virtual world that allows users to own virtual properties that are mapped to real-world addresses.
In fact, each property block is a unique NFT (Non-fungible token) that can be bought, sold, and traded for profit using the in-game native token called UPX. And these NFTs can be valuable and rare - for example, the NYSE building in Manhattan was auctioned for 23,000,000 UPX, or $23,000 US The user has the capability of purchasing UPX packs in exchange of US Dollars or cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, Dash or Litecoin, but it should be well noted that UPX token can only be used for the in-game NFT transactions (the purchase & sell of virtual properties) and not as a crypto-currency without any sign of decentralized blockchain that verifies the ownership of the UPX tokens from the users, having zero monetary value outside the platform. With the current value of main cryptocurrencies and their potential, it is advised NOT to spend any money on the platform, unless the user is either too wealthy in real life or interested only in the fun side of the game.

RollerCoin
Launched in 2019, the Brazilian-based RollerCoin has been established as the most popular play-to-earn mining simulator platform with over 4,000,000 users across the world as of January 2024, allowing users to virtually mine crypto-assets. The core idea of Rollercoin is a distribution of a block reward between users every 10 minutes depending on the "mining power" of the user that is attributed through virtual "mining devices". The higher the mining power of a user through the mining devices, the higher is also the percentage of the block reward that has been allocated to the user. Unfortunately, the higher the number of the users participating in the block reward distribution, the higher is also the competition for obtaining a decent cut for the individual user. Mining power can also be extracted through playing a collection of simple arcade games that might also provide several bonuses such as free virtual mining devices or mining power.Rollercoin generates crypto profit in several cryptocurrencies i.e. BTC, DOGE, ETH (ERC-20), USDT (ERC-20), MATIC plus RLT and RST which are Rollercoin's digital currencies. RLT and RST are used for in-game purchases mainly for the purchase of the virtual mining devices that generate the mining power but also supplementary equipment such as the mining racks. RLT can be bought with crypto-assets directly or earned through the TaskWall section that includes all the major survey and offers dashboards. The main RollerCoin interface consists of a retro 80s-90s style office setting full with mining racks that are used to store the mining machines connected with user's main computer unit. More information about RollerCoin can be found at my article "My Rollercoin Progress".
LimerCoin
Limercoin was established in 2023 as a mining simulator with an ambition to grab a respectful share of the continuously popular mining simulators market. Therefore, It shares the main core idea with RollerCoin for the distribution of a block reward between users every 10 minutes depending on the "mining power" of the user that is attributed through virtual "mining devices". The higher the mining power of a user through the mining devices, the higher is also the percentage of the block reward that has been allocated to the user. Mining power can also be extracted through playing a collection of simple arcade games that might also provide several bonuses such as free mining devices or mining power. For the time being, Limercoin generates crypto profit in only BTC, DOGE and Limertoken (LMT) which is the native digital currency. LMT is used for in-game purchases mainly for the purchase of the virtual mining machines that generate the mining power but also supplementary equipment such as the mining racks. The main Limercoin interface consists of a contemporary garage full with mining racks which are used to store the virtual mining machines without the use of a main computing unit. My suspicion is that Limercoin could have been actually developed from ex RollerCoin engineers that enjoy drinking lemonade from limes, but this is just a hypothesis.
