How it Works & Your Chances

How It Works

The Bitcoin network creates a new block reward (currently 3.125 BTC) roughly every 10 minutes. Miners compete to solve a cryptographic puzzle, and whichever miner finds the correct answer earns that block.

Large mining operations make trillions of guesses each second with industrial hardware. Your device operates at about 1 MH/s (one million guesses per second) — far smaller, but still participating continuously in the global race.

What Are the Odds?

Because the overall Bitcoin network is so massive, the odds of a small miner discovering a block are extremely low.

Most users will never hit one — but the possibility always exists. Your miner runs nonstop, 24/7, giving you a fresh chance with every new block.

In simple terms:

  • Each block = a brand-new round.
  • Your miner = your entry into the race.
