What If I Actually Win?
First: you won't. Second: if you do, we want to hear about it.
It'll be the most improbable thing to ever happen to anyone who bought a thing on the internet for $39.
Here's what actually happens if a real block is found:
- Your device will land on the Winning mascot screen (the cat with coin eyes).
- The block reward (~3.125 BTC at the current halving, worth roughly however-many-dollars Bitcoin is worth today) will be sent to the Bitcoin address you entered during setup.
- It will appear in whatever wallet owns that address, the same way any other Bitcoin arrives.
- You will owe taxes on it. We are not your accountant. Get one.
The probability of this happening in your lifetime, with one SatScratcher running 24/7, is approximately the same as being struck by lightning while also being attacked by a shark. Do not plan your finances around it.
The point of the SatScratcher is not the winning. The point is that it's running.
