Reward rules: how Bitcoin rewards are calculated

By the CloudMineCrypto teamUpdated 6 min read

The short answer

Your Bitcoin rewards in CloudMineCrypto come from three things: your plans’ displayed hashrate, any active boosts, and live Bitcoin network data (network hashrate and block reward). There’s no hardware to buy or run. Rewards are variable and not guaranteed, the rules may be updated over time, and a plan doesn’t give you ownership of, or a dedicated share in, any specific mining hardware or pool.

Key takeaways

  • Higher plan levels typically unlock a higher hashrate, and active plans combine.
  • Boosts and promotions are optional, can be time-limited, and may be changed or discontinued.
  • Rewards move with the Bitcoin network, especially its hashrate and difficulty.
  • To withdraw: a login method, a verified email, the network minimum and, where required, KYC.
  • These rules are part of our Terms of Use.

How do rewards work in the app?

This page covers how Bitcoin rewards are calculated in the CloudMineCrypto app (listed as “Bitcoin Mining (Crypto Miner)” in the app stores), why they change, and what you need before withdrawing. Your account builds up Bitcoin rewards over time from the plans and boosts you use in the app, and you don’t need to buy or run any mining hardware.

All three are applied under rules that may be updated over time. A plan doesn’t give you ownership of, or a dedicated share in, any specific mining hardware or pool.

1. How do your plan level and hashrate affect rewards?

Definition ¡ Hashrate (in the app)

The rate shown on each active plan, sometimes labelled “speed”. The app uses it as that plan’s input when it calculates rewards.

  • Higher plan levels typically unlock a higher hashrate in the app.
  • A plan’s duration is how long it stays active before it ends.
  • Several active plans combine, which can increase your total hashrate under the current rules.

Live hashrates, updated hourly, on one scale. BTC a day is an estimate before boosts at today’s network conditions. Paid plans are optional.

The exact reward maths runs on our backend and may include limits and adjustments that keep the system stable, fair and resistant to abuse.

2. Which boosts, streaks and promotions can apply?

The app may offer optional boosts that increase your rewards in the app. The two main ones build up over time:

Boost or bonusWhat it rewardsConditions
Loyalty / activity boostsConsistent use over timeTypically shown in the app while active
Continuity boostsKeeping an eligible plan activeTypically shown in the app while active
Limited-time promotionsVaries by promotionShown in the app when available
Referral bonusesInviting friendsSubject to the referral rules
Ad rewards / offersWatching rewarded ads or completing offersWhere available; subject to third-party availability and anti-abuse checks

Boosts and promotions are optional, can be time-limited, and may be changed or discontinued. When a boost is active, the app typically shows it so you can see what’s applied right now.

3. Why can rewards go up or down?

Rewards are variable. The biggest driver is the Bitcoin network itself.

Network

Hashrate and difficulty

When the global network hashrate rises, the same mining power generally earns less BTC over time; when it falls, it can earn more. Difficulty and fees also affect typical reward levels.

Price

Bitcoin price

Looking at rewards in USD or EUR? That value can change even when the BTC amount stays the same.

Halving

Halving and protocol changes

Bitcoin’s block subsidy drops on a schedule (the “halving”), which changes the overall reward environment.

Timing

Pool-style variance and timing

Even with stable averages, short-term results can look higher or lower depending on timing and how rewards are credited over time.

Fees

Transfer fees and congestion

On-chain fees and mempool congestion rise and fall, which can affect withdrawal minimums and the cost to move BTC.

App

Changes to the app’s offering

Changes to available plans, boosts, promotions, or their eligibility rules.

4. What do plans earn at today’s network conditions?

Calculated live from each plan’s hashrate and current Bitcoin network data, before boosts. Updated hourly.

Estimates only, calculated from the plan’s hashrate and current Bitcoin network data, before any boosts. Network difficulty, block rewards and fees change constantly, so actual rewards vary, aren’t guaranteed, and may be lower than the amount you spend on optional purchases. Plans, hashrates and availability may differ by platform, region and over time. Not an investment product. Terms apply.

5. What do you need before withdrawing?

You can request a withdrawal when your in-app balance meets the current requirements shown in the wallet and withdrawal screens.

  1. 1

    Confirm your account

    Add a login method (Google or Apple) and verify your email address. Withdrawals are enabled after that.

  2. 2

    Meet the minimum and fees

    Like most crypto platforms, withdrawals have a minimum to prevent spam and cover network costs. It depends on the network and is shown on the withdraw screen once you pick one.

  3. 3

    KYC and other checks, when required

    Depending on your country, the amount and security signals, we may ask for identity verification (KYC) or other information. Extra checks can apply for fraud prevention, compliance or account safety.

  4. 4

    The app guides you

    If anything is needed, the app walks you through it. The withdrawal tutorial shows every step.

Important notes

Software

A rewards experience

The app is a software-based rewards experience. It doesn’t provide ownership of mining hardware.

Variable

No amount is guaranteed

Rewards and rates can change. Any examples are illustrative only.

Not advice

Not financial advice

Nothing in the app or on this page is financial, investment or tax advice.

Rewards are calculated using internal rules and features shown in the app: plans, boosts, promotions and anti-abuse protections. They’re variable, not guaranteed, and may change over time.

Also in the Terms

Three more points from the Terms of Use, in short. The linked sections have the exact wording.

Zero

Rewards may be zero

A plan fee pays for access to features in the app. Rewards stay variable, aren’t guaranteed and may be zero, whatever you’ve bought (Terms §5.2).

Corrections

Errors and misuse can be reversed

Rewards credited by mistake, or obtained through misuse, fraud or a chargeback, can be corrected or reversed. If a correction takes your balance below zero, the difference is repaid or set off against future rewards (Terms §5.5 and §6.3).

12 months

Inactive accounts

After 12 months without logging in, withdrawing or using the app (and with no active paid plan), an account becomes inactive and we send you a notice. Log in within 60 days of that notice and nothing is lost. After that, unwithdrawn rewards expire at 0.00003 BTC a month until you log in again (Terms §18.3).

Frequently asked questions

Are rewards in CloudMineCrypto guaranteed?

No. Rewards are variable and can change over time, and no reward amount is guaranteed. Any examples are illustrative only.

Why did my rewards go down?

Usually it’s the Bitcoin network: when the global network hashrate or difficulty rises, the same mining power generally earns less BTC. A promotion ending, a halving, or a change to plans, boosts or eligibility rules can also lower rewards.

Do I own mining hardware when I have a plan?

No. The app is a software-based rewards experience. A plan doesn’t give you ownership of, or a dedicated share in, any specific mining hardware or pool.

Do the live examples include boosts?

No. They’re calculated from each plan’s hashrate and current Bitcoin network data, before boosts, and change as the network changes.

What do I need before I can withdraw?

A login method (Google or Apple) and a verified email address, a balance that meets the minimum for the selected network, and, where required, identity verification (KYC) or other checks. The app guides you through anything that’s needed.

Can the rules change?

Yes. Rewards are calculated under rules that may be updated over time, and boosts and promotions can be time-limited, changed or discontinued.
