Gamer vs Miner

Zero Chill has two separate roles. You can be a gamer without being a miner, and the other way round.

Gamer

• Plays Zero Chill games.
• Earns XP and builds a player profile.
• Does not need to buy anything.
• Gameplay does not directly mint ZCU.

Miner

• Holds hosted hash power on the ZCU network.
• Mining is what creates ZCU.
• Mining output is never guaranteed.

Both

Many members do both. The two stay tracked separately. Buying hash power doesn't give you gaming status, and gaming status doesn't come from buying hash power.

Will gameplay ever connect to mining?
