I began my STORM journey in late April by using their android mobile app (iOS is not yet released). The app rewards you with Bolts (unique to Storm Play) that can be converted into STORM, Bitcoin, or Ethereum, each requiring a different minimum amount of bolts for conversion.

Earning Bolts

There are two ways to earn bolts. The primary way is by completing “Storm Tasks”, which is the gamification part of STORM. There are a variety of games (most are similar to “Clash of Clans”) and other offers, which can require payment.

Each task has their own unique requirement and gives a different amount of bolts. Bolts are supplied for completing specified goals in the Storm Task. Some tasks have multiple goals that reward 0 bolts and are for setup, while others (only the games from my experience) reward you in phases.

You can also earn 500 bolts every 30 minutes by watching an advertisement and completing a captcha. STORM added an option to buy a booster for 1000 bolts that allows you to watch a video every 10 minutes for 2 hours.

Cashing Out

After choosing the type of token you would like to receive, you share your public key wallet for that specified token. I created a Jaxx wallet (the one recommended by STORM) for the full Storm Play experience.

The app warns you that the transaction can take up to 2 days. For me, it took between 6 and 8 hours.
