Block Rush — Weekly Bitcoin Mining Arcade Arena
Block Rush is a free-to-play weekly arcade game available at solo.mineshop.eu/arcade for participants in the Mineshop solo Bitcoin mining pool.
How Block Rush Works
- Players link their Bitcoin wallet address to sync their real Mining Chest points balance earned from solo pool mining.
- Free entry is always available. Optional paid entry tiers (Starter: 500 pts, Pro: 5,000 pts, Whale: 100,000 pts) contribute to the weekly prize pool.
- 85% of all entry fees collected each week are paid out to the top 3 players by score. The split is 50% for 1st place, 30% for 2nd, and 20% for 3rd.
- Prize payouts are credited directly to winners' Mining Chest balances every Monday at 00:05 UTC.
- Mining Chest points are earned by mining on solo.mineshop.eu and can be redeemed for discounts on ASIC mining hardware at Mineshop.eu (100 points = €1 discount).
- Block Rush scores are server-verified. Session tokens are required for all point spending, preventing unauthorized deductions.
