Beginner’s Guide: OKEx Complete Review

Marius Bogdan Dinu • December 17, 2018

OKEx is one of the most popular and largest cryptocurrency exchanges. It is multi-cryptocurrency exchange with a suite of algorithmic trading tools designed for professional traders. It offers a comparatively wide range of trading pairs, crypto-to-crypto trading with 4 base pairs ( BTC , ETH , USDT & OKB – its native token), FIAT trading and digital asset based futures with multiple leverage choices.

Originally founded in 2014 in China, as the offspring of OKCoin exchange, OKEx is the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world by volume (according to CoinMarketCap , but you can see it often on 1st place too). Its Bitcoin future arm alone does nearly $1.5 billion in volume every day. Like other competitors, such as Binance, OKEx has recently relocated to the crypto-friendly island, Malta.

OKEx has a comparatively high standard among cryptocurrency exchanges; its services are not available in different countries, such as Hong Kong, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Crimea, Sudan, Malaysia, Syria, the USA and its territories, Bangladesh, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Kyrgyzstan. Its decision to outright exclude the U.S. and countries with questionable legal status before the United Nations is more conservative than the decisions made by other comparable exchanges.

OKEx Account Sign-up

The first step to trade on OKEx platform is creating an account. The initial sign-in screen is straightforward. You can either sign-up via email address or a telephone number. A login password is also created at this time and you must check your email for a code to enter into the signup form within 60 seconds to continue.

OKEx offers several different verification levels, each with its own set of requirements and privileges. A level one verification grants access to most portions of the OKEx site with a transaction limit of $2,000, and it requires only a nationality, username, and ID number. A level two verification comes with access to all trading functions and a limit of $200,000. This is at the cost of a photo of yourself and your identification materials. A level three verification ups your transaction limit to $500,000 and requires a video verification of your identity.

If you have any issues during the account creation process, OKEx has a fairly comprehensive FAQ database (it will direct you to a different part of the site and to get back to the main site, you need to click on the small, pale gray OKEx link in the upper-right-hand corner) or you can use the Chat feature for live customer support. Their support team is ready to help you out!

Trading on OKEx

OKEx doesn’t allow you to visit its trading page without creating an account, but you can get a good idea of the sheer number of trades offered by accessing its “Charts” option along the top header. The charts are organized by trading pairs, including USDT, BTC, ETH, and the exchange’s native coin, OKB. OKEx also displays its available futures and a handy index for selected coins.

In its FAQ section, OKEx offers a short introduction to its main trading categories. It’s worthwhile to take a look at each one to get a feel for the diversity of trading experiences that OKEx offers.

At the top of the site, you will see a few options for trading:

  • Charts  – Will show you detailed trading charts for each cryptocurrency
  • Fiat to Token  – Will allow you to purchase some currencies directly with Fiat
  • Token Trading  – Is the traditional crypto to crypto trading screen
  • Futures  – Allows you to go long or short on a currency, to use this you have to pass their quiz showing you know how it works
  • Index Tracker  – Is a statistical measure of the changes in a portfolio of trackers (tokens) representing a portion of the overall market. A weighting methodology is usually used for calculating the index.

The layout is again simple and intuitive. A tabbed box displays the option to either buy or sell, with the relevant pricing and volume information. A chart to the right of the main trading screen displays recent bids and asks. You can also navigate easily between the “Spot” and “3x Leverage” for margin trading.

If you access the trading screen from the “Charts” listing, you have the option for “Full Screen” view which offers a larger and more advanced layout, as show below:

Margin Trading

Token trading is the purchase or sale of tokens for immediate delivery. You can also earn the differences by exchanging between tokens, while leverage uses debt to maximize the potential return in spot trading. You can borrow tokens from OKEx, executing positions with 3 times of your capital. Your potential return is therefore multiplied, but so is your potential loss.

To activate OKEx Margin Trading simply click on the “3 Leverage icon” either in the normal trading layout or advanced and agree to its terms & conditions, as shown below:

NOTE : Margin Trading involves leverage that would amplify profits as well as losses. Investors should be aware of the forced liquidation when the leveraged positions meet a margin call. It is critical to understand fully about the risk before any investor starts on margin trading.

How Token Margin Trading Works?

Long a token : You can use your principal plus the borrowed token to buy another token and sell it until its price rises to a desired level. After repaying the loan and interest, the remaining amount is your multiplied gain.

Short a token : trading is more than “buying before a rise” and “selling before a fall”. You can gain from a price fall by borrowing the token to sell it, and then buying back when its price has dropped to repay the loan and capture the price difference.

You can also arbitrage or hedge exposure in combination with futures or perpetual swap trading.

Advantages of OKEx Margin Trading:

  • Hourly interest –  High flexibility to suit your trading strategy
  • Super-low Interest-  The rate is adjusted dynamically every hour
  • Multiplied Return-  3x leverage with controlled risk

Check out their full guide  here.

In addition to the regular types of orders most of the exchanges are offering (limit & market), OKEx introduced a set of additional orders for advanced traders, through a system called Algo Order.

Algo order is a set of instructions for placing a trade at predefined price and volume. All logic of the algo orders is fixed and automated, therefore, instructions will be carried out according to the defined parameters without OKEx being needed to manually interfere the execution process of the order.

Algo trading tools allow users to enter trade information in advance to save time from execution when the right moment arrives. Users may also use algorithmic trading tools as reminders of the day’s trading strategy, to avoid bad executions due to the distractions from the live market.

Algo orders will not be executed if the conditions pre-set are not met and OKEx system will not place a hold on the funds of user’s account if an algo order is made. However, the algo order triggered will be canceled if the account does not have sufficient funds for its execution.

Trigger order  – Trigger order is a trading instruction with pre-defined parameters by the user. When the last traded price has reached the trigger price, the system will send the trading instruction into the order book.

Trail order  – Trail orders allows user to set in advance strategy for significant swings in the market. When the last price reaches maximum (or minimum) market price after trail order is submitted (1±user-defined callback rate), this triggers the order to be executed on the market.

Iceberg Order  – An iceberg order is an algorithmic order type allowing users to avoid place a large order while avoiding slippage. An iceberg order automatically breaks up a user´s large order into multiple smaller orders. These orders will be placed on the market according to the latest best bid and ask price as well as the parameters set by the user. When one of the smaller orders has completely filled, or the latest market price has deviated significantly from the price of the current order, a new order will be placed automatically.

Time-weighted average price (TWAP)  – Time-weighted average price ( TWAP ) is the average price of an instrument over a specified time.  TWAP  is a strategy that will attempt to execute an order which trades in slices of order quantity at regular intervals of time as specified by users. The purpose of TWAP is to minimize the market impact on basket orders.

See complete guide and information  here.

Futures Trading

OKEx asks all prospective futures traders to read and agree to its proprietary user agreement. This is due to the relative complexity and high risk of the cryptocurrency derivatives market. Utilizing leverage can mean big gains and big losses in a short space of time, and OKEx goes out of its way to make sure its users understand that they are entering a whole new world far from the standard token-to-token trading floor.

Currently, OKEx supports seven coins for futures trading – BTC, LTC , ETH, ETC, XRP , EOS , and BTG. Full guide  here.

OKEx Fees

OKEx’s service fees are remarkably streamlined for such a diverse exchange offering. The company charges a 0.1 percent maker and taker fee for all token-to-token trades.

The fees for futures trading are decided token by token.

  • BTC is assessed a maker, taker, and settlement fee of 0.015 percent.
  • LTC futures trades have a 0.025 percent maker fee, a 0.075 percent taker fee, and a 0.05 percent settlement fee.
  • ETH & ETC, both carry a 0.025 percent maker fee, a 0.075 percent taker fee, and a 0.05 percent settlement fee.

OKEx also has a tiered volume-based fee discount structure. The discounts are computed daily from a 30-day trading volume and also come with associated withdrawal levels.

The levels range from less than 600 BTC equivalent with maker fees of 0.15 percent and taker fees of 0.2 percent to greater than 120,000 BTC equivalent with maker fees of 0.02 percent and taker fees of 0.05 percent. There is a similar tiered discount structure for futures traders that is computed separately from spot market transactions. Those levels range from less than 10,000 BTC equivalent to greater than 300,000 BTC equivalent, as shown below. See full information on OKEx fees,  here.

PiggyBank

OKEx created the OK PiggyBank which is a digital asset value-added service that allows users to deposit and withdraw their digital assets anytime. If can transfer your balance into OK PiggyBank to enjoy profit every day. This service is characterized by depositing and withdrawal freedom, daily interest earning, and no minimum deposit requirement. The OK PiggyBank guarantees high security of your assets with OKEx’s sophisticated risk management system. The assets of OK PiggyBank are used for OKEx’s margin loan services.and OK PiggyBank only supports the digital assets available for OKEx margin trading. More details  here.

Is OKEx Safe?

There isn’t much information on OKEx’s site regarding its internal security mechanisms but OKEx offer different ways for you to secure your account, such as Two-factor authorization, mobile authorization, Fund Password (required for trading and withdrawals), Email Verification, Anti-phishing code as well as a fund password validity which you can set based on your needs.

OKEx is regarded as one of the must trusted and secure exchanges but in October 2017, hackers were able to access some OKEx accounts, mainly because those accounts were victims to phishing attempts, not a failure of the OKEx’s security system itself. See OKEx statement below:

“Recently, there were some OKEx accounts were abnormal accessed,” the exchange wrote in an update. “Due to OKEx security system, all withdrawals were unsuccessful; however, the transactions were chaotic and caused certain losses.”

OKEx details the causes of the breaches as improperly kept and set passwords, personal computers affected by malware or users logging into public computers. To prevent future breaches, OKEx recommends the use of all its security options such as two-factor authorization, fund password, etc.

OKB Token

OKEx’s native token is OKB, and it serves to incentivize trading on the OKB platform while the company develops its blockchain. The token carries a total supply of 1 billion – 70 percent of which is locked up – and the company distributes 50 percent of its service fees collected during the week each Friday to OKB holders. The actual amount distributed is weighted by the volume of OKB a user holds. OKB entitles OKEx traders to certain privileges, like service fee rebates, encouraging its users to use and hold OKB. The overall goal of the OKB token project is a worldwide network of cryptocurrency trading assets.

“OKB will act as a base token to allow global blockchain teams to participate in the construction of a global exchange,” the company stated.

OKEx Global Partners

OKEx Global Partners is a market initiative by the exchange. The system is structured around OKB holdings and referrals, with awards distributed in the form of special prizes and OKB rewards. Consideration for the OKEx Global Partners program is fairly wide open. It just involves owning at least 5,000 OKB and referring 50 people to the site monthly. The reward for this entry-level tier is 30 percent of the associated trading fees collected from your referrals for the next six months.

“We are looking for influential global partners like you to join our mission of spreading blockchain technology far and wide,” OKEx said on its introductory website. “We are building a blockchain ecosystem. A system that connects us to the communities across the world. And we need your help in promoting the expansion. In return, you will earn a fair amount of reward for your effort. Interested in joining us? Apply today.”

You can find more info about this program  here.

OK Blockchain Capital

OK Blockchain Capital is the investment arm of the OKEx platform. The business division solicits partners for new blockchain projects and provides auxiliary services, like consultation, technology, resources, and capital. This is the avenue for white paper submission and possibly token registration within the OKEx platform. OK Blockchain Capital claims to have at least $100 million set aside for new blockchain technology products and services. More info on this program,  here.

OKEx Prime Investors Program

OKEx launched the “Prime Investors” program on May 10, 2018 (Hong Kong time) to attract more token projects with high qualifications, and construct the first blockchain ecosystem and digital asset trading platform which combines multiple resources including professional investors and blockchain projects. See more details  here.

OKNodes Program

Through this project you can create your own world-leading digital asset exchange with 0 (zero) tech investment. OKNodes program is designed to share liquidity with OKEx and its partners as well as the users pool. All the users can access OKEx and its OKNodes program with a single account.

OKEx Project Info

OKEx Project Info  is an information platform which offers token projects’ basic information, roadmap and development progress, and third-party reviews. OKEx created this platform with the mission of helping its users to gain a better understanding of the projects before they make any trading decisions.

OKEx Customer Support

OKEx provides 24/7 live customer support via phone & chat in order to effectively and promptly address any cryptocurrency trading or exchange related issues and concerns you might have. In addition, the users can access the email and ticket support as well as several messaging apps and social media channels, such as Facebook, Telegram, etc.

Conclusion

OKEx’s relatively strict stance to user registration might be more forward-thinking than most. Cryptocurrency regulations are in their infancy worldwide, and it is not entirely clear which direction they will swing in established markets, like the U.S., or developing economies. Playing it safe might be the best right now, or at least until some of the regulatory dust settles. Furthermore, OKEx is big and can’t afford to take many risks, but it has the ability to influence future policy by the risks it does decide to take.

Overall, OKEx platform supports a wide range of tools and trading venues for every level of investment need. Their interface is quite well designed and provides lots of different trading options and views. Newcomers to the cryptocurrency sphere and professional traders alike will find something useful on OKEx; it combines cutting-edge technology with features that makes it the perfect exchange for professional traders and provides enough tools and information to enable you to start trading as a professional.

Choosing the Right Bitcoin Mining App

By press release • April 28, 2025
Bitcoin has grown from a fringe technological curiosity into a major financial asset, and at the heart of its ecosystem lies one of its most powerful mechanisms: mining. But while mining was once the domain of tech-savvy enthusiasts with custom-built rigs, it has now become increasingly accessible to anyone with a smartphone. For those wondering how to mine Bitcoin or is mining bitcoin profitable in today’s world, the answer might just lie in the palm of their hands. How Bitcoin Mining Works Bitcoin mining is the process by which new bitcoins are entered into circulation and transactions are verified and added to the blockchain. Miners solve complex cryptographic puzzles to validate blocks of transactions. The first one to solve it gets rewarded with newly minted Bitcoins and transaction fees. This system ensures network security and maintains the decentralized nature of Bitcoin. In the past, mining required expensive hardware (like ASICs), constant energy consumption, and deep technical know-how. But recent innovations have given rise to mobile-friendly methods that offer alternative ways to participate in the mining ecosystem. Methods of Bitcoin Mining via Mobile Apps Cloud Mining: This method allows users to rent mining hardware hosted in remote data centers. Users lease a portion of mining power (hash rate) and earn a share of the mined Bitcoin. Many cloud mining platforms offer apps to monitor earnings. However, some cloud mining services have been criticized for a lack of transparency and reliability. Mobile Mining: These apps claim to mine Bitcoin directly from your phone by using its CPU or GPU. However, due to limited processing power, energy inefficiency, and wear on devices, mobile mining is generally inefficient and mostly unprofitable. Many apps in this category are more simulations than real mining tools. Digital Mining: A more advanced alternative, digital mining involves owning hash power tied to real-world mining hardware, without ever having to manage physical equipment. Through platforms like GoMining, users buy digital miners via mobile apps and earn daily Bitcoin rewards based on their virtual miner's hash power. This approach bridges real mining infrastructure with digital convenience. How to Choose a Bitcoin Mining App Selecting the best Bitcoin mining app requires careful research. Here are some key things to consider: Transparency: Make sure the bitcoin mining app provides clear information about how it works, what kind of rewards you can expect, and how mining is executed. Legitimacy: Check for user reviews, community feedback, and platform transparency. If an app promises sky-high returns with no effort, it might be a scam. Ease of Use: A good crypto mining app should be user-friendly, with intuitive navigation and helpful features such as dashboards, tutorials, and support. It’s a plus, if the app is easy for newcomers. Performance Tools: Features like a built-in crypto mining calculator help users estimate potential rewards based on input variables like hash power and token holdings. Cross-Platform Compatibility: Look for apps that work across multiple devices, including a Bitcoin mining app for Android and other mobile platforms. Ecosystem Support: Some apps go beyond mining, offering gamified tasks, referral bonuses, or access to early crypto project launches. What to Avoid Unrealistic Promises: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Avoid apps guaranteeing huge returns in short periods. Poor Reviews or Lack of Information: A quick search should reveal whether the app is legitimate or has issues. Fake Mining Games: Many apps posing as " mining games " only simulate mining activity without any real payouts. Lack of Contact Info or Support: A legit app should have accessible customer service and a traceable company behind it. GoMining: A Hybrid Platform with Real Mining Power One of the most talked-about platforms in the digital mining space is GoMining. Designed to simplify access to real Bitcoin mining, GoMining lets users buy digital miners linked to physical mining hardware in professional data centers. Unlike typical cloud services, GoMining provides full transparency and offers real-time mining rewards, tracked directly in the app. It's not just a bitcoin mining app, it's a fully-fledged crypto mining ecosystem that includes: A user-friendly interface is available as an app for both Android and iOS, and as a desktop version. Tools like a calculator and the dashboard are used to estimate your earnings. Additionally, there are options to upgrade your miners and interact with your farm within the app. The GOMINING token is the native token of the ecosystem. It fulfills several purposes, among which is the option to pay for maintenance with a discount of up to 20%. The GOMINING token can also be used to gain access to voting and locked presales of Bitcoin projects on the launchpad. Giveaways, airdrops, and other perks help to enhance earning potential. Two mining modes include Solo mining and Miner Wars, a clan-based game. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, GoMining simplifies the process while maintaining real earning opportunities. It's widely discussed in positive GoMining app reviews and seen as one of the best Bitcoin mining app options available. Final Thoughts So, is Bitcoin mining profitable in 2025? The answer depends on your approach. Traditional methods may no longer be accessible to everyday users, but new technologies and platforms like GoMining offer modern, user-friendly alternatives. With the right research and a smart strategy, mining Bitcoin via apps can still be profitable, especially when using platforms designed for transparency, scalability, and long-term growth. If you're exploring Bitcoin mining apps , look for legitimacy, user trust, and real-world connections to mining infrastructure. Digital mining through trusted platforms offers a fresh way to participate in the Bitcoin economy, one that doesn’t require cables, coding, or constant maintenance. As the industry evolves, the tools we use must evolve too. Choosing the right app could make all the difference between a missed opportunity and a new stream of crypto income. The main thing to remember is that every user should do thorough research before committing to one app. There’s a reason DYOR (do your own research) is the motto of the most successful crypto traders and experts.

Navigating the Challenges of Bitcoin Mining

By press release • April 26, 2025
The transformation that Bitcoin went through, from a niche digital currency to a globally recognized asset, has revolutionized how we think about money, investment, and technology. By advancing decentralized finance, Bitcoin directly challenged the existing financial institutions. With the surge in interest came a growing need for innovative approaches to access this ecosystem. That’s why Bitcoin mining , once an obscure activity reserved for early tech adopters, has quickly grown into a sophisticated, multi-tiered industry. Today, it’s even more than that. Cryptocurrencies live by their own laws and regulations; there are trends to follow, and elements to understand before getting involved. Yet, despite Bitcoin’s evolution, it continues to face challenges that require new, user-friendly solutions. The Traditional Path: From CPUs to ASICs In the early days of Bitcoin, enthusiasts mined using their personal computers’ central processing units (CPUs). The power was more than enough, and the lack of interest in a new, untested technology didn’t allow for Bitcoin to make waves. Still, as competition grew, users upgraded to more powerful graphics processing units (GPUs), which offered better efficiency. The popularity of Bitcoin also surged, and that’s when Bitcoin mining slowly stopped being just a hobby. Eventually, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) became the standard for serious miners, offering unparalleled speed and energy efficiency. But ASICs are expensive, consume large amounts of electricity, and demand constant maintenance. Large facilities led by companies spearheaded the change and Bitcoin mass adoption . This evolution effectively shut out the average user from participating in mining. Today, running an independent mining operation requires significant capital, technical knowledge, and physical space. There are seemingly too many barriers that deter mainstream adoption. Mining as a Service: Cloud and Mobile Solutions To bridge this gap, cloud mining platforms were created. These services allow users to rent hash power from remote data centers without dealing with hardware directly. While more accessible, cloud mining platforms often lack transparency, and many have been accused of being Ponzi schemes. Some users never see a return on their investment, and that’s just part of the issue. Companies often offer a locked contract that doesn’t allow a user any control over their mining operation. Meanwhile, mobile mining apps claim to offer Bitcoin mining on phones, using device CPUs or offering simulation-based experiences. These apps are typically inefficient, power-draining, and often function more as marketing tools than real mining mechanisms. Nonetheless, they illustrate the public demand for convenient and passive income apps tied to Bitcoin. Digital Bitcoin Mining: The Most Modern Approach Digital mining is an evolution of both cloud and mobile mining. It enables users to own digital miners. A digital miner is a virtual asset that represents actual hash power in professional mining facilities. Unlike cloud mining contracts, digital miners are ownable. As such, they can be upgraded, sold, or transferred, offering more control and transparency. Digital mining removes the need for hardware ownership, offering users real mining rewards without the hassle of dealing with the issues related to traditional mining. It represents a step forward in making legit Bitcoin mining accessible to anyone, anywhere. GoMining: A Digital Mining Ecosystem A leader in this new wave is GoMining, a crypto mining website that offers a fully digital experience. Through its app and web platform, users can purchase and manage digital miners that are directly linked to physical mining operations. GoMining combines ease-of-use with real mining infrastructure. It's a Bitcoin mining website designed for both beginners and seasoned crypto users. The core of its ecosystem may be built around accessible Bitcoin mining, but there’s so much more to the platform. What sets GoMining apart is its holistic approach: Two Mining Modes: Aside from solo mining, which allows users to acquire daily BTC rewards according to the power of their farm, there is another mode. Miner Wars is a clan-based mining game, in which players join clans and compete against each other for rewards. Launchpad: A Bitcoin-centric launchpad allows Bitcoin projects to present their tokes for pre-sale. GOMINING Token: Used to pay maintenance fees at a discount, access token presales, and participate in the ecosystem through voting. The tokens can also be invested in a liquidity pool . Secure Wallet: Integrated features that allow users to hold and store their Bitcoin rewards and GOMINING tokens. Passive Income Potential: Rewards are distributed daily, and users can optimize earnings through strategic upgrades and in-game participation. LBH (Level-Based Hashrate): A tiered system that rewards long-term engagement and miner power accumulation. The GoMining platform is available as a Bitcoin miner app , suitable for mobile devices and providing Bitcoin mining on phone without draining local resources. This makes it a strong contender among crypto mining sites aiming for mass adoption of Bitcoin. Why Digital Mining Matters Digital mining lowers the barriers to entry in the Bitcoin mining world. It provides an accessible gateway into an otherwise complex industry. For those asking whether mining is still profitable, the answer is nuanced. It can bring considerable rewards, but only when done through efficient, transparent, and legitimate platforms. GoMining’s transparency, use-case versatility, and gamified features make it one of the most promising players in the space. It transforms passive income apps into real revenue channels tied to blockchain infrastructure. As Bitcoin continues its journey toward global acceptance, platforms like GoMining will play a crucial role in democratizing access to mining. They are not merely tools, they’re part of the broader movement toward decentralized financial empowerment. Final Thoughts The landscape of Bitcoin mining is shifting. From hardware-heavy operations to app-based solutions, the evolution has opened doors for millions of new participants. Digital mining, exemplified by GoMining, is the most advanced iteration yet. It offers the security of real hash power with the ease of mobile access. In navigating the challenges of Bitcoin mining, GoMining and similar passive income apps offer clarity, control, and opportunity.  They bring us one step closer to true Bitcoin mass adoption, where earning BTC is not limited to those with tech labs and industrial budgets, but is available to anyone with a phone and a plan.

Is Bitcoin Mining Popular Again?

By press release • April 26, 2025
One doesn’t have to be a Bitcoin Maximalist to realize that Bitcoin is the cornerstone of all crypto. Whenever the environment is good for the world’s no.1 cryptocurrency, it’s favorable for all the rest of them. But like any trend with high potential, in time, Bitcoin has become somewhat inaccessible. After its price had soared, Bitcoin quickly captured the attention of large companies, turning mining from an enthusiast-exclusive hobby into a massive business with huge mining farms working day and night. Mining Bitcoin: The Hidden Barriers to Entry What is mining Bitcoin really about? Without getting into the technicalities of it, mining is a process of minting new Bitcoin and rewarding it to users for solving complex math problems, using their hash power. Said hash power usually comes from either a powerful GPU or an even more powerful ASIC miner device. Those can be expensive, which is why average users don’t always view mining as a potential source of passive income . The initial investment, summed up with monthly payments for electricity and maintenance, makes it a high-risk operation without a guaranteed return. It doesn’t help that after each halving, rewards for the same amount of work are cut in half. While this is what keeps Bitcoin supply balanced, it renders a lot of mining equipment obsolete after only 4 years of service. In that sense, traditional mining requires more than just knowledge of the equipment and even more than being prepared to offer a hefty initial investment. It requires strategy and understanding of the trends as well as the ins and outs of the market. As a result, many users, even potentially interested in mining, had to resort to watching Bitcoin succeed from the sidelines, never having a chance to participate in its growth. There should be ways to remedy that. Mining Going Digital Digital mining is a relatively new approach based on something called Liquid Bitcoin Hashrate . Essentially, we are dealing with digital miners – virtual devices connected to real physical data centers. These devices can be upgraded, sold, and bought. The first collection of digital miners – The Greedy Machines – was released by GoMining in 2022. Digital Mining vs. Cloud Mining: What’s the Difference? While both digital mining and cloud mining aim to make Bitcoin mining more accessible, they differ significantly in structure, ownership, and long-term value. Understanding the differences between them can help users make smarter decisions when choosing how to mine. Cloud mining is a service-based model. Users rent a portion of mining power (hashrate) from a provider who owns and operates the physical equipment. In exchange, the user receives a share of the mining rewards. However, cloud mining contracts are often time-limited, opaque, and rigid. Users typically have no control over the equipment, can’t upgrade it, and are locked into contracts that may not be profitable if Bitcoin prices drop or network difficulty increases. Digital mining, introduces a more transparent and ownership-based alternative. Instead of renting power, users own a digital miner. This gives the user autonomy over their asset. Rewards are issued daily or weekly, based on the mining mode, and users can track their performance in real time via an app. One of the key differences lies in flexibility and strategy. With GoMining’s digital miners, users can reduce costs using GOMINING tokens, apply promo codes, or enhance earnings through perks like GoMiner avatars. This isn’t possible in traditional cloud mining setups, which tend to offer a fixed, “set-it-and-forget-it” approach. Ultimately, digital mining offers greater transparency, control, and earning potential. When it comes to passive income ideas , an ecosystem that empowers users to make strategic decisions and benefit from long-term participation in the mining economy is the best way to go. Understanding the GoMining Ecosystem The GoMining ecosystem is a powerful reimagining of how Bitcoin mining can work in today’s fast-paced, digital-first world. By removing the traditional barriers of entry, like expensive hardware, high electricity costs, and technical know-how, GoMining has made mining accessible to virtually anyone. Whether you’re a seasoned crypto enthusiast or a newcomer looking to generate passive income, GoMining offers a streamlined and user-friendly alternative to conventional mining operations. But GoMining is more than just a mining solution. It's a comprehensive platform that introduces multiple layers of utility, strategy, and gamification. One of its standout features is Miner Wars , a play-to-earn game where users form clans and compete for BTC and GOMINING token rewards. It blends entertainment with earnings, making mining more engaging and social. Another cornerstone of the ecosystem is the GoMining Launchpad – a crypto launchpad that provides early access to promising Bitcoin projects. This allows GOMINING token holders to diversify their holdings and invest in new crypto ventures ahead of public listings. It's an intelligent way to extend earning potential beyond traditional mining. GoMining also helps users save and optimize earnings through several integrated features. For example, paying maintenance fees with GOMINING tokens gives users up to 20% in discounts. Everything within the ecosystem is designed to work together: users mine BTC, earn and spend GOMINING tokens, use the app to manage activity, and grow their influence through the VIP and referral systems. The GOMINING token price is tied to the platform’s success, making it an integral part of the long-term value proposition. Bitcoin Mining in 2025? Today, in 2025, many newcomers to the crypto world wonder how to earn Bitcoin and what is Bitcoin Mining . The good news is, it’s not just by trading anymore. The landscape of mining has, indeed, changed.  But thanks to accessible platforms, like GoMining, mining Bitcoin is once again possible without large investments or extensive tech knowledge. There is a way to make decentralized finance appeal to more people, and digital mining is certainly one of those ways.
