Welcome to Season 14.
This season is farm themed I think, but also maybe Plants vs Zombies. Its hard to figure out sometimes. I think this is my fourth or fifth season grinding on this site. I can assure you, it is not really worth the the time. Or at least it doesn't appear to be worth the time at this point.

When I say grind I really do mean grind. The chart above is a graph of my Bitcoin earned on the Rollercoin site, depicted with the blue line, and the hashrate on that day. You may be saying to yourself, "that's only like 50 days?". You would be wrong. There are 62 days represented. They are not consecutive days. I log a data point only when I add an in game mining unit to my virtual mining farm. There are 62 data points but the grind has been closer to 9 months, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. At the time of writing I am 62% of the way to a Bitcoin withdrawal.
Unfortunately, this new season has brought a major shift in the philosophy of the platform. The goal for the developers is to make money. That is not inherently a bad thing. They used to encourage profitable actions like taking surveys, or have the 'pay to win' option be a huge temptation. Now 'pay to win' seems like the only viable option. I am hoping this only lasts for a season because it is discouraging.
The last thing this 12 month speed run needs is more head winds
What are the changes?
Previously I was able to earn 60 season tokens per day by completing the daily quests for gaming. I could buy the season case and get a new powerful miner once every 12 or so days. This in combination with the season rewards for earning XP and gaming bonuses made adding mining capacity quite easy and because the focus was on the games it was mindless at worst and actually fun at best.

Now the quests have shifted dramatically. The focus is now on spending RLT and surveys. With an enticement of the 'pay to win'. I believe the quests are random. There have been a few days so far where I did not get a game based quest.
You will notice the game quest I have today is a lot more challenging than previous seasons. The difficulty spike in games is real. Some games become impossible due to the disconnect between the point total needed and the time limit. I think I can get 25 wins in Crypto Hamster, but the majority of the games are too difficult to play after your 15th win. Playing 2048 Coins or Token Blaster after 12 wins is basically impossible.
I also don't like completing surveys. They are tedious and unenjoyable. If I do talk myself up into completing a survey, I usually use the Publish0x offer wall because the minimum withdrawal is so low. I need that immediate satisfaction.
I don't want to be spending my RLT. I am savings up to buy a second mining room. I need 20 RLT to do so. This means that I won't be able to complete most ever, and I will only be able to complete a single quest sporadically.
You can pay a tenth of a RLT to change to swap out the quest for another random one, or pay a full RLT to complete the quest. Literally pay to win.

Because these changes are such an annoyance, I looked into the Gold Pass. Which is their 'pay to win' season pass. The price tag is actually eye popping. You either can buy the pass for 99.95 RLT or win the whole season for 489.9 USDT. Crazy! In case you were wondering 1 RLT is pegged at approximately $1.00 US.
Once I get through my proof of concept run and successfully get Bitcoin off of this platform, I may come back and try one of both of these options. Looking at the Gold Pass reward wall it is clear that getting all the rewards would give you a permanent spike in your mining rate. This seems more appealing than other 'pay to win' programs because you get to keep the progress. It is more of an investment. The ROI remains to be seen but i

One positive change is the addition of Miner Sets. If you have themed miners on themed racks you get a bump to their hash rate. This makes sense. My mining room is starting to look very schizophrenic with so many different personality types. Lumping like sets together for bonuses may clean it up a bit.

I will hit 0.0001 BTC today. When that happens I will shift all my mining power to gain RTC. This will stall my progress, but I want to calculate how long it will take me to get to 20RTC. Currently I own 3.347, so I am not close. I have 25 miners sitting on the sidelines and enough racks for 34 miners. That is a lot of idle power.
This may be my only choice as gaining RST and XP is so much harder this season. But stopping BTC mining seems like a waste.
All to say, a Rollercoin journey is not for the faint of heart.
