In this episode we publish a candid interview with Vladimir, the creator and leader of MusicMining MB. MusicMining MB is a Telegram mini-app where users mine the $MB token, boost their mining power and watch ads, while holders receive rewards in GRAM. No marketing fluff: costs, farms, mistakes and plans.

Introduce yourself: what do you do on the project?

Vladimir, the project leader.

How much does the project cost, and does it pay for itself?

"The project wasn't cheap: with servers and everything else it comes to up to $5,000 in total. A proper server costs $200 a month. I thought ads would cover it, but in two months they didn't bring in even $70."

Vladimir's main pain point: people know who is behind the project, but they take their money to other mini-apps that later scam them, and real supporters are few. If it weren't for his parallel business (construction sites, commerce, freight), the project would have been shut down within two weeks. Right now $MB brings the leader no income and is paid for out of his own pocket.

How was the idea for $MB born?

Long before the mini-app, Vladimir had his own reward token that paid income for holding GRAM. He has also been into music for a long time, so he decided to combine it all and take the project to the masses through media: YouTube and Instagram. "If everyone comes together and supports it, there will be a media-crypto boom."

How is the market holding up?

The market is being steadied by the joint efforts of small like-minded holders and the $MB "whales", who always come to help.

Why does only the first connected wallet work?

The rule was forced, for the sake of the token's stability. When withdrawals opened, farms started pouring in to withdraw and dump. That's how the team understood why most Telegram projects get scammed: farms strip them bare "like sheep".

How do you filter out bots?

A great many have been filtered out. A real user deposits tokens, starts mining, claims what they've mined and watches ads, and all nicknames and withdrawals are visible.

How do withdrawals and ads work?

The minimum withdrawal is 1,000 $MB. The limit stayed the way participants chose it in a vote at the start of the project. The price, according to Vladimir, has stabilized: people mine and everyone is happy. Every day, those who buy the token, put it into mining power and watch ads make withdrawals.

Vladimir also pays the withdrawal fees out of his own pocket: each withdrawal costs about 0.18 GRAM, and every ten withdrawals add up to almost 1.8 GRAM. The amount grows with the number of withdrawals, and people withdraw every day.
