Boosters can be used in the game to increase the efficiency of Notcoin mining:
- Energy Limit — maximum energy increase;
- Speed Booster — increases energy recovery speed;
- Multitap — enhances mining efficiency with a single tap;
- Auto-tap bot — an automatic coin farming tool.
Activating main boosters deducts a certain amount of mined coins, which increases as you progress to the next level. The tap-bot can be activated after reaching the Silver league.
Additional coins can be obtained by inviting friends to the game — the amount of credited Notcoin is displayed in the Fren tab. In-game quests can be started in the Earn tab.
During the game, a turbo rocket occasionally appears, activating turbo mode. Additionally, players have access to three free turbo mode and energy speed boosters daily.
The game features several leagues, with each requiring a specific amount of coins for progression:
- Bronze — basic level;
- Silver — from 20,000 coins;
- Gold — from 200,000 coins;
- Platinum — from 2,000,000 coins;
- Diamond — from 10,000,000 coins.
The higher the league, the more bonuses and quests with increased rewards are unlocked. Among the quests is the opportunity to join various projects within the TON ecosystem.
Inside Notcoin-bot, there's an option to join squads – fleets. Any public channel/chat on Telegram can become a fleet. Alternatively, you can create your own fleet, with each invited player becoming a referral, bringing additional coins. Each fleet member increases points for their community and raises their team's rating.
To join a fleet, follow the link t.me/notcoin_bot?start=joinsquad in the bot, then provide the link to the channel or chat you want to join the fleet of.
You can also join any fleet by pressing the Join Squad button at the top of the game bot's screen. A list of suggested fleets will appear: choose one and send the link to the desired channel through the text bot. Read the full and detailed set of Notcoin game rules here.
Prospects of Notcoin: When Will It Be Listed?
The Notcoin clicker launched on January 1, and soon the number of active players exceeded 150 000. By January 8, 2024, the daily number of active gaming accounts reached 1.5 million out of a total of 4 million registered players.
On January 9, in the official Telegram channel of the Notcoin Community, two posts were published:
One post notes that 5 million people subscribed to Telegram Premium, with 1 million users subscribing in the last month. Another post states that Notcoin already has 5 million users. This highlights the enormous interest of messenger users in all internal products.
According to Google Trends, in the first 10 days after the launch, the frequency of the query "Notcoin" increased from 6 to 100.
Many are concerned about the question: What is the ultimate goal of launching Notcoin? Currently, the coins mined in the bot are just numbers, and the game developers specifically note:
"No one knows if Notcoin token will be issued and when it will happen. No one knows if it will be worth anything or not. And that's the beauty of it."
The motivation of active clicker users is based on the hope that Notcoin will soon function as a full-fledged cryptocurrency. In other words, the Notcoin clicker serves as a preliminary game airdrop – a free distribution of coins to an indefinite number of users. The uniqueness of Notcoin lies in the fact that no one can guarantee that the cryptocurrency will be realized after listing. The official listing date is still unknown.
Nevertheless, the coin's pages have already appeared on the Bybit, Binance, and Coinmarketcap exchanges. On the OKX exchange, they went further and indicated the approximate price of Notcoin after listing. Initially, it was estimated at $0.000038, meaning the cost of 1 million Notcoins was supposed to be $38. However, in the following days, the virtual Notcoin's value sharply dropped, and at the time of writing this article, it stands at $0.000000000024. So now, to earn $1, you need to mine 1 000 000 000 Notcoins.
Conclusion
Some skeptics say that similar pages appeared for many tokens that never made it to the listing. Other skeptics write about a clever marketing move by Pavel Durov's team: to increase Notcoin coins in the game, they suggest getting a Premium subscription in Telegram, as well as joining other TON projects. All of this increases people's involvement in the Telegram ecosystem, raising the overall capitalization of the messenger.
However, whether NotCoin will be realized as a cryptocurrency will be revealed in the future, making it a rather intriguing and creative attempt to engage people in all TON-related projects.
