Although for 10 days since the launch of the audience, the new cryptocurrency VK Coin reached 10 million people, on the night of April 11, mining of coins stopped. Information about this appeared on the page of the general director of the social network Andrei Rogozov, who wrote:
“Today we stop mining and fix the current capitalization at 2.8 trillion coins – this is the total number of coins among users. VK Coins can still be transferred to friends or acquaintances via a QR code, as well as spent on various bonuses. ”
The CEO added that 1.1 million people were simultaneously in the mining application at the peak time.
VKontakte launched VK Coin service on April 1. Any user could get the internal currency by clicking on the big blue circle. The main goal of the game is to take a place in the “rich top”.
Earned coins can be spent on upgrades for automatic mining of the currency or on the offers of partner companies. For example, residents of more than sixty Russian cities used coins to get promotional codes in the Delivery Club service. Also, many VKontakte users began to buy and sell the mined coins for real money.
A few days before the completion of the mining in the application began the countdown. Since April 11, users can no longer earn new coins, but can transfer currency to other players and spend on promotional codes. Participants are waiting for the next stage of the game, but it is not yet known what it will be.
