Generate bitcoin with Bitcoin Miner, the free easy-to-use Bitcoin miner! Let your computer work for you earning Bitcoin, which can be exchanged for real-world currency! Works great at home, work, or on the go. Download Bitcoin Miner and start earning Bitcoin today! Payouts are automatically issued every week to accounts with at least 5000 Satoshis. Your balance is never lost - if your account doesn't reach 5000 Satoshis during a week, it carries forward (it is never lost)! NOTE: On 2019-10-01 the Microsoft Store policy was updated to no longer allows on-device cryptocurrency mining. Because of this, Bitcoin Miner can only remotely manage miners offered through the GroupFabric cloud, or miners separately installed by users from the GroupFabric website. While users cannot directly mine bitcoin on-device anymore, users can still earn bitcoin just like before by remotely controlling miners in the GroupFabric cloud or miners setup separately by downloading the Bitcoin Miner add-on from our website. We've made every effort to keep the mining experience seamless and appreciate everyone’s support over the years!

Useful GPU mining

I love that its decent GPU mining that I can do on the side of my cloud mining. I have already gotten a payment so I know it works and hope it continues to. Sure,there are ads but thats how it goes if you want it free. I do wish you can minimize it but because of how Windows 10 apps work,you cant. One day,when I get a second GPU,I will do even better. An RX 480 does about 250-270 KH/s and will net you about 6000 satoshis in 24 hours. Higher end GPUs will do much better,I am sure so this is probably great for those with one. I stick to just mining in the power saving mode,usually CPU only as most of the time I mind Ethereum,which is far more profitable than this thing can ever dream to be. The video ads are very annoying,as you cannot mute them. I am not above closing the app the moment I see them and starting it again. PLEASE have an option to keep them muted. Nobody cares about them.

It works and it's very easy to start mining. but....

The two main problems I had with this miner are the ads and the mining algorithms. I get why the ads are there, but it regularly does streaming video ads as well, which just waists GPU power. As for the mining algorithms it uses, it's horribly inefficient. Using different mining software, my computer can earn bitcoin over 40 times faster by using different algorithms I can select. Basically, using this miner in December 2017 costs far more in electricity bills than you can ever hope to earn in bitcoin. To really improve this app, get rid of the video ads and let us have a selection of algorithms so we can make mining with this app worth while. That's all I ask...

Very low hash rate. Gpu option is only what kept me on this App. Seems I will focus on Betterhash or Cudominer. Your App is now garbage.

Review title of Donald F.Hardly Economical at all, just a waste of energy in rea

After running this program for 4 months I have accumulated a whole $1.82 worth of Bitcoin. After running it 24/7 that's it, just 460 satoshis per day with the CPU running at 95 to 99% of output. It costs more to power your computer compared to the jack-low payout of $1.82 .No REAL payout in reality, just a waste of power while burning up your CPU at the same time !!

Review title of JoaoIt pays but not enough to pay the used electricity...

Update 14: What's new? Memory leaks appear to be gone... The pool only pays 0.1 satoshis for every Hash accepted up to level 16... It used to be 0.5 satoshis @ difficult level 1... So i recommend using this in power saving mode, because it does not compensate using in full power. Also even if you have a compatible GPU this will still hog all of your CPU :/ For those wondering, yes so far the pool pays. Good if you have a 24\7 HTPC running and want to make a few cents when not using it (few cents!!! You will not get rich or even pay the electric bill with this especially not using dedicated "mining" hardware, so don't complain if after a month you only get about 50 cents of a dollar). Suggestion to the devs: Would like to have an "balanced" mode because max performance mode uses a lot of CPU resources. Is it possible to had more option, like just use the GPU instead of the CPU?

Review title of Oh,reduced ads would be nice

It definitely works, and you definitely get paid, I've been using it for over a year now, but I can't help but feel like I could have better mining capabilities if the video ads didn't happen as often or if they weren't as long. I understand that's how the developer makes money too, but it would be nice if they weren't as often is all I'm saying

Users keep everything they mine as advertisements let us offer the Bitcoin Miner for free and provide support. We’re working on offering an option where users will be able to contribute a small % of what is mined to the pool in order to turn off ads, but this feature is still under development and not ready yet.

Review title of AngeloAd Displays use RAM and allow malicious sites

(My previously submitted review seems to be missing.) The app displays Ads (web pages). These Ad displays store in RAM and eventually use up all RAM memory. Malicious ads also appear that freeze Microsoft's Edge.

GroupFabric Inc. responded on 9/25/2018

Hi Angelo, sorry these issues are happening. Ads are tricky because the let us offer Bitcoin Miner for free and not charge fees. Unfortunately Windows 10 version 1803 has a bug in Microsoft Edge which causes the memory issue you are seeing (on some machines). This hopefully will get fixed in the Windows 10 version 1810 due out in October.

Sorry about that! We just released Bitcoin Miner 1.52.* which should fix the crash. To update Bitcoin Miner: 1. Open Run (Windows Key+R) 2. Enter ms-windows-store:Updates and press OK 3. Click "Get updates" 4. Wait for Bitcoin Miner to update

Review title of im_walter_sobchak@yahoo.comNot Worth The Price of Electricity.

Sure, technically it does work and does pay you for mining. The problem is you're getting such poor hash rates from it that you're not going to even pay for the electricity (much less the wear and tear to your computer) with this. This app doesn't even allow you to run it in the background. If you want an easy way to get in to mining, go google "nice hash" and download that instead. This program sucks

GroupFabric Inc. responded on 8/26/2019

On background mining - Bitcoin Miner is a UWP (Universal Windows Platform) app, which means it runs in a limited permission sandbox. While this is great for users in terms of security, it prevents things like running for more than 2 seconds in the background or while the lock screen is up. Unfortunately, this restriction is imposed by Microsoft on all Windows Store apps. If Microsoft lifts this restriction we’ll definitely support it as it’s a feature that just makes sense. If concerned about power costs, Bitcoin Miner offers a Power Saving mode where it should use very little additional energy over baseline computer energy usage. This can be verified using an inexpensive device such as the Kill-A-Watt. Some users pair Bitcoin Miner in Power Saving with other miners on the same machine because on an energy-per-yield basis (especially in Power Saving), Bitcoin Miner does quite well.

Review title of RCSimple as this

If you want to mine Bitcoin then USE SOMETHING ELSE. This is inefficient and mostly just an easy, foolish way to mine.

GroupFabric Inc. responded on 8/26/2019

The default pool in Bitcoin Miner is actually a multi-pool, where it has your miner mine whatever is most profitable for your PC/Phone that our miner supports, and then converts it over to Bitcoin. Often 3rd party miners will have you directly mine SHA-256d, where the hash rates will be higher but yields lower due to the much easier SHA-256d mining function. If you directly mine SHA-256d you end up competing with large datacenters filled with ASIC hardware coupled to dedicated power plants.
