Traditionally the term _mining_ in cryptocurrency refers to the process of
contributing compute resources to the network and earning a reward. On the
Blockstack network, however, instead of just mining through computation,
developers also can mine by contributing apps to the ecosystem and making
applications the community wants.
Traditionally the term _mining_ in cryptocurrency refers to the process of contributing compute resources to the network and earning a reward. In the Blockstack Ecosystem, instead of just mining through computation, developers mine by building apps, and the Blockstack community funds them simply for being pioneers in the emerging Blockchain software market.
Founders that build apps using Blockstack developer tools like Blockstack Auth
get paid each month, in amounts proportional to that month’s app quality
ranking. Blockstack PBC, in cooperation with App.co, currently administers the
payouts. A set of independent _app reviewers_ determines the monthly ranking
during the pilot phase.
