Hello, fellow crypto adventurers! Martin Kamoff here, your guide to the wild west of Telegram mining. Forget dusty rigs and noisy fans; we're doing this from our phones, while probably still in our pajamas. Welcome to TON Farm, where your chat app turns into a crypto goldmine... or at least a fun distraction with potential profits!
Telegram, that bastion of memes and group chats, has decided it wants to be a crypto powerhouse. And TON Farm? It's leading the charge. Intrigued by the promise of mining from my phone, I dove in. Let's see if it's a gold rush or just a digital hamster wheel.
Interface: Where Buildings Talk Crypto
TON Farm is a Pay-to-Earn marvel, built on the TON blockchain, that lets you mine TON and its quirky cousin, TFT, right in Telegram. Think of it as "FarmVille" but with actual (potential) crypto rewards.
Here’s the grand tour of our virtual mining town:
Store: Where Dreams (and ASICs) Are Bought.
- This is where you snag your first TFT ASIC – a digital miner that works harder than your office printer. TFT is hovering currently around $0.03, which, let’s be honest, could buy you a fancy coffee someday. You can buy it on STON.fi (find link in TFT screen) or just mine in game (withdrawing will be available after first halving when 50% of mining will be reached)
- Generators and UPS? Essential for keeping your digital miners happy and productive. Without UPS you farm need to be withited every 4 hours, so, UPS can help you pass a quiet night.
- Loot Boxes: Your chance getting a “Standart” key is 50% but who doesn’t love a 1% chance at a "Phenomenal" key? Think of it as digital gambling, but with keys instead of slots.
- Tricks: Combine those keys! 10 "Standard" keys become a "Special" key, and so on. It’s like digital alchemy, but less smelly. And don't sleep on TFT mining, it may be your golden ticket.
Marketplace: The Digital Bazaar.
- This is where you haggle for TON ASICs and NFT chips. Think of it as eBay for virtual mining gear, where prices fluctuate more than your mood on a Monday. You can even put out a "wanted" ad in the chat (you can find link on Information screen). Because why not? If you're a virtual merchant, this is where you can make some extra TON.
Power Station: Paying the Virtual Bills.
- TON ASICs are thirsty for electricity, and this is where you pay up. Your starting generator is like a tiny hamster on a wheel, producing just enough to get you started. Upgrade to bigger generators when your farm gets too power-hungry.
- Tricks: You can replace the starter generator without a new slot. But adding a second generator? That's loot box territory.
- Farm: Your Digital Mining Empire.
- This is where you plant your TON ASICs and watch the (virtual) money grow.
- Start with two "Standard" slots and expand as your key collection allows.
- Tricks: You must open all the lower grade slots, before opening the next grade.
- Slots can be upgraded to 200% efficiency (10 grades by 10% each). Because why mine slowly when you can mine like a caffeinated squirrel? Cost of one grade is:
- Workshop: The ASIC Spa.
- Even digital miners need pampering. This is where you fix ‘em up.
- ASICs need 37 hours of digital massage after 100 hours of work (for “Standart” one). Full time of work depend of quality of ASIC:
- Upgrade slots to speed up repairs. Because nobody likes waiting. Fully upgraded slot give 1 hour of repair time. Now that's what I call luxury. Cost of slots upgrading:
- Tricks: You no need to open all the lower grade slots, before opening the next grade.
How to Play: From Newbie to Crypto Boss (Maybe)
So, you've stumbled into the digital wonderland of TON Farm and you're wondering, 'What now?' Fear not, brave adventurer, for I shall guide you through the perilous journey of becoming a pocket-sized crypto tycoon!
1. Fund Your Account:
TON is your ticket to this digital carnival. Connect your Telegram wallet or transfer from an external one.
2. Buy Your First ASIC:
Head to the Marketplace and pick a "Standard" ASIC.
Don't know wich one to choose? Check the ASIC characteristics in the information section.
3. Choosing Your ASIC:
Remember, your starting generator only provides 5 units of power. The HYPERFLUX A7 or ZV-46 is a solid starter, or you can go for two less power hungry ones. Do the math! Calculate your net profit using the provided formula. (Yes, there’s math. Sorry.)
P = S – R*N*Hwork – 0.01*E* Hwork
Where
P – summary net profit of all working ASIC
S – summary mining speed of all working ASIC
R – reparation cost for 1 hour of work
0,15 TON – Standart ASICs
0,20 TON – Special ASICs
0,25 TON – Rare ASICs
0,35 TON – Epic ASICs
0,45 TON – Phenominal ASICs
N – number of working ASIC
H – number of working hours for all ASIC
E – total electricity consumption of all working ASIC
0,01 – cost of 1 unit of energy
4. Advanced Mining:
For the crypto daredevils, upgrade your generator and snag a NEUROLINK S9. It’s like upgrading from a tricycle to a rocket ship.
5. TFT Mining:
Don’t forget the TFT ASICs! Buy the proper NFT chip, and activate them. This is your side hustle in the TON Farm universe.
Behold! The rules. Because even digital farms have laws.
- Withdrawal: To liberate your hard-earned TONs from the digital farm and into your wallet, make sure your ASICs are feeling their digital best (repair > 95%) and that you're not drowning in electricity debt (debt < 1 TON). Otherwise, your money's just on a virtual vacation.
- Marketplace - Selling: Want to sell your ASIC? Make sure it's sparkling clean (100% repair). Nobody wants a digital clunker.
- Marketplace - Buying: When buying ASICs, make sure you have some wiggle room (all ASICs > 80% repair). Otherwise, you might buy a digital lemon.
- Slot Upgrades: To make your slots more powerful, keep your ASICs in tip-top shape (all ASICs > 80% repair). Happy ASICs, happy slots!
- Loot Boxes and Slot Openings: Your debts don't matter here. You can blow all your money and still don't get a rare key. It's like a digital gamble!
Final Thoughts:
TON Farm is a fun and engaging way to dip your toes into the crypto world, all from the comfort of Telegram. It's a blend of strategy, luck, and a dash of absurdity.
Remember, this is a game. While you might earn some crypto, don’t quit your day job just yet. But hey, who knows? Maybe your Telegram chats will fund your next vacation.
Happy mining, and may your ASICs be ever in your favor!
