🔔 The Bell Goes Silent: Random Rewards Replace Scheduled Events
🔔 The Bell Went Silent
The Bell reward system has been completely redesigned to eliminate time-based advantages and reward active players regardless of timezone.
Key Changes:
- No more schedules: The Bell now triggers randomly on every successful extraction (Classic or Quick, any size)
- Three reward tiers: MINI (scales with run size), JACKPOT (Discord announcement), and MEGA (full chamber payout)
- Instant rewards: Cargo appears in spendable balance immediately upon extraction
- Risk-free: Your fleet, Workers, and fuel return intact—the Bell only adds, never takes
- Activity-driven: More corridor activity means more Bell triggers
Previous System: The Bell evolved from 2 fixed daily rings (02:00 and 14:00 UTC) to 8 random 5-minute mini-bells throughout the day, with per-run caps reduced from 5,000 to 1,000 to distribute rewards more broadly.
The New Approach: Instead of waiting for scheduled windows, players now have a chance at rewards with every extraction. Larger expeditions earn proportionally bigger rolls, but all active players are eligible regardless of when they play.
The system aims to reward consistent gameplay rather than timezone luck.

CryptoMines: Relive Issues Risk Warning Before Launch
CryptoMines: Relive has issued a direct warning to players ahead of its launch: the game involves real financial risk. **Key points:** - Players use real USDC, not in-game currency - Most expeditions may yield no rewards - Cargo can be lost and runs can end before extraction - Developers emphasize this is intentional game design, not a bug **The "Risk to Earn" model** The team stresses that both risk and potential earnings are genuine. They've built transparency into the game from the start, with warnings displayed at entry. **Player advisory** The developers recommend playing only with funds you can afford to lose. The message is clear: this isn't a guaranteed profit mechanism. The game is now available at [cryptomines.app](https://cryptomines.app/)
