Most Bitcoin mining pools distribute rewards proportionally. If you contribute 0.01% of the pool's hashpower, you earn 0.01% of every block reward. With a home device, that's fractions of a cent per day.
Standard pool (PPLNS/PPS): Rewards split among all participants by hashrate share. Predictable, small.
Winner-takes-all (Mine & Win): One device's slot wins the entire block reward each week. No splitting. ~$300,000 to one person.
If you have a small device, proportional rewards will never be meaningful. You'd need years of accumulation to earn even $100. Winner-takes-all converts your participation into a weekly lottery with real odds — 1 in 1,000,000 with Mine & Win's 1,000,000-device pool.
When the 1,000,000-device pool mines a Bitcoin block, the full reward (3.125 BTC + transaction fees, currently ~$300,000) is sent directly to the winning device owner's Bitcoin wallet. Mine & Win never holds the funds. The distribution is handled by the Bitcoin network protocol itself.
Entry cost: $99 once. No subscription. Device never expires.
