**How to Play:** Welcome to ColorMining, a collection of three simple 2D games and one AR game. The goal is to complete each game to earn a hash key, points, and crypto coins. Collect 16 hash keys from 16 games to build a master hash key. **Sharing Master Hash:** Once you complete a master hash, you can gift it to friends. It must be released from your ownership before copying into iMessage, email, or another app. **Steps to Share:** 1. Go to "Master Hash Keys", select a green-completed master hash, and click “Send Hash”. 2. Click “Release Master Hash”. 3. Paste and send it via iMessage, mail, etc. 4. Shared master hashes turn red, indicating they’re no longer yours, but still usable for the lottery. **Note:** Sharing master hashes is optional and they are not private data. Sharing helps increase your scores and earn more crypto coins. **Lottery:** With at least one master hash, you can play the lottery to boost your scores. More master hashes mean more crypto coins. **List of Friends:** Build your friends list to increase your scores. **Summary:** 1. Play games 2. Earn points and hash keys 3.
