Share an Item to Earn Idea Points
Sharing an item is among the easiest ways to earn Idea Point rewards. Simply connect your social media accounts, and then share an item to earn an Idea Point reward.
You can only earn 5 Idea Point rewards in a 24 hour period from sharing items (to prevent abuse).
As an added bonus, when an improvement or solution results in the minting of an Idea NFT from an item that you shared, your Idea Points can convert to IdeaCoins and lead to ETH royalties.
Mint an Idea NFT to Earn IdeaCoins
Whenever an item that you create is incorporated into an Idea NFT, you earn an IdeaCoin reward. This is also true for Idea NFTs that you mint yourself.
It costs 1 MindMiner Credit to mint an Idea NFT.
If you would like patent pending protection for the invention you incorporate into your Idea NFT (highly recommended), you also need to pay the share of USPTO patent filing fees and a processing fee, totalling $29, at the time you mint your Idea NFT.
Convert Idea Points to IdeaCoins When Your Item is in a New Idea NFT
Whenever an item that you create is incorporated into an Idea NFT, the Idea Point reward that you earned for that item is convertible into an IdeaCoin reward.
You can add IdeaCoin rewards to your crypto wallet. MindMiner piggy bank royalty rewards are disbursed as ETH proportionately to wallets connected to user accounts that hold IdeaCoin balances.
Win a Contest to Earn an IdeaCoin Jackpot
To earn IdeaCoins without the need to convert Idea Points, you can participate in and win problem contests. Often, the IdeaCoin jackpots associated with contests are substantial.
To win the contest, receive the most votes for your solution or invention among all contest participants. Regularly visit your contests to share your submissions externally and track your leaderboard status.
Earn ETH When the MindMiner Piggy Bank Target is Met
MindMiner has a piggy bank to store the royalties earned from the sales of Idea NFTs.
The royalties are stored and then disbursed as a crypto reward to innovation contributors on MindMiner once a piggy bank threshold is met.
To receive a piggy bank disbursement, earn and hold IdeaCoins in a crypto wallet associated with your MindMiner user account. You will be eligible to withdraw an amount from the piggy bank proportionate to your crypto wallet IdeaCoin balance divided by all IdeaCoins created.
Only 21,000,000 IdeaCoins will ever be created. Each reward is diminishing over time. Thus, earlier members who actively contribute innovation will likely recieve the greatest amount of rewards over time.
Earn ETH by Selling an Idea NFT
MindMiner allows you to easily mint an Idea NFT tied to one of your inventions. Each one of your inventions can incorporate your own and others’ solutions as components. The most valuable inventions will likely receive the most consideration when sold as an Idea NFT.
You can sell your Idea NFTs for an ETH amount that you set either on the MindMiner platform directly, or on external platforms such as OpenSea. You can also sell Idea NFTs directly in wallet to wallet transactions.
Earn IdeaCoins by Leading a Contest
MindMiner relies on contest leaders to influence inventive activities from people in external circles and communities.
By helping our effort to source solutions to humanity’s pressing problems from the crowd, you earn an IdeaCoin reward whenever an Idea NFT threshold for your contest is met.
You can control the IdeaCoin reward by controlling the Idea NFT thresholds. As you increase the Idea NFT thresholds, the IdeaCoin rewards increase.
For seasoned influencers, this is an option to earn greater amounts of IdeaCoins – and the potentially higher ETH royalty rewards from the MindMiner piggy bank. Others who have smaller networks can still unlock IdeaCoin rewards by choosing a lower Idea NFT threshold.
Contests on MindMiner work by releasing the IdeaCoin jackpot only after the minimum threshold of Idea NFTs from within the contest is met. You can manipulate this threshold, along with the correspondingly higher or lower IdeaCoin jackpot reward both to the winner and to yourself, when you create a contest as a contest leader.
Earn IdeaCoins by Leading a Group
Group leaders earn an IdeaCoin reward whenever an Idea NFT is minted for an invention tagging the group. If an invention has multiple tags, each tagged group’s leader earns a portion of the available IdeaCoin reward.
Groups with the most members will likely generate more Idea NFTs, and thus more IdeaCoin rewards that come along with them (and the corresponding ETH royalty opportunities).
To lead a group, you must apply to MindMiner and explain why you think you can influence activity for the specific group among your networks. Group leaders are chosen at the discretion of MindMiner.
Earn ETH Based on the IdeaCoin Balance in your Crypto Wallet
You can earn crypto rewards in ETH based upon the balance of IdeaCoins in your crypto wallet linked to your MindMiner account.
Once the MindMiner piggy bank reaches its ETH target amount from royalties on the sales of Idea NFTs, a distribution of that piggy bank will be made proportionately to those holding IdeaCoins in their crypto wallets.
You cannot purchase IdeaCoins from MindMiner. To earn IdeaCoins, you must contribute innovation activity to the MindMiner network.
When the innovation items that you are responsible for are incorporated into an Idea NFT by you or another, the Idea Points that you earned for such items are convertible to IdeaCoins. You can withdraw your IdeaCoins to your crypto wallet.
Once the MindMiner piggy bank reaches its next target, you will receive an ETH reward based upon the amount of IdeaCoins you have in your wallet.
Mint an Idea NFT for a Product Improvement and Sell to the Product's Owner to Earn ETH
MindMiner helps you earn crypto for your ideas to improve existing products.
Simply create an improvement for a product, then mint an Idea NFT with patent pending protection.
You can offer the Idea NFT as an improvement to the product to the company that makes the product, competitors or others.
Improve an Existing Product to Earn Idea Points
When you make a product better with an improvement solution, you earn Idea Points. Improving specific products usually offers greater Idea Point rewards than just solving general problems.
Some improvement categories offer higher point rewards than others, in part based upon how many improvement ideas received by others in each category for the product.
To start, simply find a product that you want to improve, and then click the “Improve” button either in your feed or on the MindMiner solution profile page.

You automatically earn a MindMiner Credit for every 25 Idea Points that you receive. You can track your progress toward a MindMiner Credit by clicking your Idea Point balance on the top right of your MindMiner feeds.
