TerraMine
Our live experiment reached 883 mines on October 15. We reinvested $22 of accumulated rent into 6,600 TB while pursuing two $100 January withdrawals.

Beer Money Universe tests payout apps, games and small online income opportunities to find what actually pays, what is worth your time, and what should probably be skipped.
Best Opportunities Right Now
The current BMU shortlist: opportunities with enough evidence to deserve attention, plus the ones still under active investigation.
Land Rent
Land Rent currently shows a $5 cashout route through PayPal, prepaid cards and gift cards. BMU is now waiting for completed withdrawal evidence.
Follow the Land Rent Test →Paid Research & Surveys
For people who want faster, more direct earnings, BMU is expanding into paid research, survey sites and carefully selected offerwalls.
See Post-MTurk Options →BMU payout rule: points, tokens and simulated balances are not counted as beer money until there is a credible path to real withdrawal. Our evidence ladder is: No payout → Announced → Cashout UI → Withdrawal Requested → Payment Received.
Live Field Tests
BMU tracks what happens over time—not just what an app claims on its store page.
October 15 TerraMine checkpoint: 883 properties owned, 4,800 TB unspent and $3.1489/month in estimated base rent (about $63/month at a sustained 20× boost). We converted $22 in accumulated in-game rental earnings to 6,600 TB on the 300 TB/$ promotion. The next planned reinvestment review is November 1; actual January withdrawals remain the goal, not a guaranteed outcome.
TerraMine $200/Month Experiment
October 15 checkpoint: 883 mines, 4,800 unspent TB and about $63/month in modeled fully boosted rent. We converted $22 of earned rent into 6,600 TB at the promotional rate (300 TB/$). The January goal remains two $100 withdrawals—not merely reaching a $200/month earning rate.
