About

Bithash

Features
Read full description

Build PCs from raw components, mine fictional cryptocurrency, and scale from a single garage rig to a 32-rig data center humming under your fingertips. Bithash is a hybrid idle / active game built around the loop you actually want: deliberate hardware choices, market timing, and a prestige system that rewards mining throughput โ€” not just bank balance. WHAT YOU DO - Buy CPUs, GPUs, PSUs, and cooling. Assemble them into mining rigs. - Watch your hash rate climb. Sell mined coins at the right moment. - Specs matter. Under-power a rig and it throttles. Run it throttled too long and GPUs fry. - Expand from the Garage to a Bedroom Farm, Mining Shed, Warehouse, and finally a Data Center. TWO COINS, TWO STRATEGIES - GlitchCoin (GLC). Stable, reliable, the safe grind. - DogeCog (DGC). Volatile. Time the pumps to sell into a 12-60x spike. Time them wrong and a dump cuts your bag. PRESTIGE LOOP - Wipe your run to convert lifetime hashes into Hash Tokens. - Spend Hash Tokens in the Lab on permanent perks: faster mining, prestige starts, pump amplifiers. - Every run starts faster than the last. ACHIEVEMENTS - 18 milestones across earning, hashing, expansion, prestige, and risk. - Survive your first GPU fry. Catch a 50x pump. Max out a Data Center. BITHASH PRO (optional auto-renewing subscription) - +50 percent mining rate on every rig. - 24-hour offline accrual cap, up from 8 hours. - Helps fund development and keeps the game ad-free. Pixel-art aesthetic, single-player only, no ads, no tracking. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
