About the Game
Crypto Miner Tycoon Simulator™ is a complete simulation of the cryptocurrency mining business. There are multiple scenarios available. In the first one, you start as a teenager whose wealthy father is hyped about digital currency. He isn’t really tech savvy, so he gives you some cash and challenges you to build a crypto mining business:
Relive mining history
- Start in your bedroom in 2010
- Historically accurate coin exchange rates
- Various events including new hardware unlocks
- Speed up the game clock up to 28800x
The game uses real prices for coins, but your actions can change the course of history. For example, you can set up a PR department that will influence the media and hype some coins up or down.
Build mining rigs
- Assemble rigs from PC parts
- Install software
- Use racks to organize space and direct heat
- Replace broken parts and outdated components
A custom C++ game engine was written specially for this game in order to support 1000’s of mining hardware units per facility.
Mine coins
- Play through the CPU, GPU, FPGA and ASIC mining era
- Mine Bitcoin, Ethereum and more...
- Realistic network hash rates
- Manage power, heat, noise, dust
Build datacenters with cooling systems and low dust levels. Keep noise down in research labs.
Manage your company
- buy or rent new offices
- hire people
- set work shifts and task priorities
- pay monthly bills and wages
You can unlock overtime work by upgrading your management skill or hiring professional managers.
Research
- develop employee skills
- create research labs
- discover new technology before competition
- create your own coin and launch the ICO
Each game scenario has a special research goal related to the story.
Customization
- Customize your character
- Set dress code for employees
- Use whichever currency you like ($, GBP, EUR, RUB, CNY…)

The focus of this release is a number of critical bug fixes and a bunch of minor QoL improvements.
Improvements:
- Spreading of noise is now affected by walls. Use the Expert Construction skill to set up gaps between foundation tiles.
- Added keyboard shortcuts for work shifts. Default: J,K,L
- Imported new data for BTC,ETH,LTC and DOGE
- Added clearMarkings setting to remove text marks when modding existing CPU and GPU cards
- Documented floor tiles for modding
- Show 2 columns when selecting mining target for the whole facility and many coins loaded via mods
- You can use the mouse wheel to browse the coin list in the market screen when you have many coins loaded from mods
Bug fixes:
- The hashrates would multiply after loading beyond the first facility.
- Region settings in Free play would get reset after load and save.
- Power efficency would remain the same after massively replacing Power Supply units in the whole facility.
- Floor tiles would display temperature in Celsius even when Fahrenheit is selected in the settings.
- Fixed grammar in NPC dialogue.
- Fixed bug where invalid date in mod file could crash the game.
- Allow date format YYYY-MM-D for prices of modded hardware.
Finally, the Steam Cloud Saves are here. You can now play the same scenario across multiple computers.
Also, translations for German, Spanish, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, and Turkish have been updated.
The Steam Cloud save support should work automatically out of the box.
Important: If you have multiple Steam accounts playing on the same computer, you should back up the save files because Steam cloud update will overwrite them!!!
Also, you might want to back them up for the first run, just in case.
The files are stored in %APPDATA%/Bigosaur/CryptoMiner
That folder is typically in C:\Users\Your_windows_username\AppData\Roaming\Bigosaur\CryptoMiner
The AppData folder is hidden, so you would need to enable system hidden files to see it.
Or you can just type %APPDATA% into the Windows file explorer address bar, and it will take you there directly.
Now you can play and share progress on multiple devices.
Have fun playing!
New features:
- Added auto-pause option to the Pause screen
- You can select which mods to load when starting a new Free Play game
- You can resize and move the Coin Market screen around
- Added dark outline to challenge text so it doesn't blend into background
- Custom bought motherboards with items (CPU,GPU,RAM) are added to Shop's Recent Items tab
- The play area is drawn in grayscale when the game speed is zero
- Autopilot settings are now saved in each savefile, so you can have different ones for different scenarios without having to set them every time
- Added progress bar when saving takes more than 3 seconds.
- Added setting to control auto-scrolling on screen edge.
- Updated translations
- Modding: Added support for custom GPU slots (generation 2+)
- Modding: Allow placing .txt files for override items into subdirectories. Now you can set override=itemID and in that case the file name is no longer used. Check the updated readme.txt in the modding docs.
Performance improvements:
- Major speed improvement with garage/storage drawing when you have thousands of items
- Significantly increased loading and saving speed (about 20 times faster on average)
- Drastically reduced the save files size, going from dozens or more megabytes to about 70kB in a typical scenario
- Loading and saving now streams directly to disk buffer instead of unpacking and packing in memory
- Save files are compressed while writing
- Saving and loading uses a temporary buffer to read and write disk in smaller number of bigger chunks
- Temperature changes are now computed in real time and you can see the heat slowly spreading. This means that some operations that require heat recalculation for the whole facility can now be completed instantly instead of you having to wait for the game to update all tiles and equipment
- All game audio is now the same framerate, which improves loading times.
Bug fixes:
- The graph in the Coin Market used the be off by one day for some dates. Fixed.
- Prevent Set MAX option from entering negative values into buy quantity field.
- World map and Phone are now properly reset when you start a new scenario without restarting the game.
- Fixed loading and saving progress bar.
- Fixed occasional problem with order of drawing objects inside the rack.
- Fixed position of Job icons when objects are inside racks.
- Fixed occasional draw bug with text hints.
- Fixed bug when game window is resized during saving.
- Fixed bug when loading invalid items when mods change.
- Fixed UI positions on Public ICO launch when using Large text setting.
- Fixed bugs when saved alerts wouldn't load
- Improved shelf space detection when auto-placing ASIC and FPGA.
- Sometimes the Linux User skill would be randomly added to employees when loading saved games. Fixed.
- Clock changes due to Daylight Savings used to create problems, so I created a special, DST-free, date and time system
Have fun playing!
