Abstract
A game reward system is described herein that pays players to play a video game. The system does this by utilizing the unused resources of the player's computing device to perform cryptographic hashes and mine one or more cryptocurrencies. The game reward system generates a jackpot based on the cryptocurrency that has been mined, allocates some amount to the system operator for profit of running the system (e.g., 10%), and divides the remaining amount among the players of enough rank as a reward. Instead of charging people to buy a game, the game maker using the game reward system can make the game free for players to play. Thus, the game reward system completely changes the business model of games, makes games more fun, and rewards players in a new way for playing games.
