Geomining 101 — An In-Depth Look at Geomining — Part 2
Welcome back to our three-part series covering all things Geomining-related. This article will cover Home Base, Big Geomines, Big Geomine Witness, Team Lift, and Rewarded Ads. How are Rewarded Ads related to Geomining? You’re about to find out! Let’s go!
Home Base
You don’t always have to be Geomining on the go to earn lots of COIN. Geomining at home can be just as profitable. How do you make sure you’re earning the most you can? With a Home Base. To set up your Home Base, Geomine the same tile three times in a row, and you’ll see the Home Base icon appear. Once your Home Base is established, a blue, square outline will form around the tiles representing your Home Base. There are nine tiles in your Home Base—the one you’re on and the eight other tiles surrounding you. As soon as you create your Home Base, you’ll gain a 10% boost every time you Geomine. The Home Base boost will max out at 100% (or nine hours) and will reset every 24 hours.
Big Geomine Witness
Sometimes you’ll get to see another player score a Big Geomine and if you’re in the first 200 witnesses, you’ll instantly get some extra COIN. If you’re not one of the first 200 witnesses, there’s still something for you. Everyone who witnesses a Big Geomine is automatically entered into a daily raffle where you could earn even more rewards. If you win the Daily Prize, you’ll get a Geodrop letting you know you won, and when you open it, you’ll earn the Daily Prize Winner badge. You can also earn badges if you witness enough Big Geomines. There are badges for witnessing 1k+, 10k+ and 100k+. Pretty neat, right? To witness a Big Geomine, tap the blue Big Geomine icon with three stars on the left side of your screen when it pops up. The icon will appear any time there’s a new Big Geomine to witness. Then tap the checkmark, and you can see who got lucky and how much they earned — maybe next time, it could be you!
Team Lift
Team Lift is a feature exclusively for COIN Premium. When two or more premium COIN users are near one another, a Team Lift indicator will appear on your screen. The Team Lift indicator is worth 10% more every time you Geomine, with a maximum amount of 100% per Geomine. When you see a Team Lift indicator, it also shows how many premium users are nearby. So, what are you waiting for? Get that premium account already, and tell your friends about it too!
Rewarded Ads
Did you know as you Geomine around the world, you’ll stumble upon extra opportunities to earn COIN? The most frequent example is Rewarded Ads, which are an opportunity to learn about new products and services, while at the same time getting paid. Rewarded Ads show up on the left side of your screen with a green play button indicator and the button will also show you how many ads you can watch. Most Rewarded Ads are only 30 seconds long, and you can accept or decline to watch them. If you don’t want to watch them, hit the decline button and they will disappear.
That’s it for part two in our Geomining series. Stay tuned for our final installment next week. And if for some reason, you haven’t downloaded COIN yet, you should remedy that situation.
