How to Earn Bitcoin with sMiles

You earn Bitcoin on sMiles by completing paid tasks — most notably recording point-of-view (POV) videos of everyday chores through a linked Minute Data account — then withdrawing your balance over the Bitcoin Lightning Network, or cashing out via gift cards or stablecoins. The video-task route is the one sMiles documents in most detail, and it is only available in a specific list of countries, so check your location before downloading anything.

What sMiles actually is

sMiles is a rewards app for iPhone, Android, and browsers. Its stated purpose is to let you earn free Bitcoin for activities including AI tasks, walking, shopping, playing games, surveys, tasks, competitions, learning, and gift cards. The site also lists a browser extension, a games section, a "Bitcoinverse," a steps feature, and a Q&A area.

The headline earning method described on the site is video work: "Earn Bitcoin for recording videos." You sign up and can earn up to $12/hr in Bitcoin for recording POV videos of daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and gardening.

The video-task workflow, step by step

The site lays this out in four stages:

1. Download sMiles and Minute Data. Create an account, accept the terms, and link your Minute Data account to sMiles.
2. Complete tasks. Open the Minute Data app and record paid POV video tasks from home. The site states your privacy is secured and no face recording is required.
3. Open sMiles. Watch rewards accumulate in sMiles as you complete your daily tasks.
4. Get paid. Withdraw earnings in Bitcoin, or cash out via gift cards or stablecoins.

The expected result at each stage: linking the two accounts connects your recorded footage to your sMiles balance; recording produces submitted tasks; opening sMiles shows the compounding rewards; and the payout step moves funds out.

Rates, review times, and payout methods

The gap between the 4-hour typical review and the up-to-6-week final approval is the main thing to plan around: treat early earnings as provisional until final approval clears.

Country availability

Video tasks are only available in: the US, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates.

If you are outside this list, the video-task method is not an option for you based on the site's own note. Other earning categories listed on the site (steps, games, surveys, shopping, gift cards) are described separately and their country rules are not specified in the material available here.

Practical considerations before you start

• Two apps are required. sMiles alone is not enough for video tasks — Minute Data is where recording happens, and the accounts must be linked.
• No face recording is required, per the site, which matters if privacy is your concern.
• Payouts are Bitcoin-first. Lightning Network withdrawal is the native option; gift cards and stablecoins are alternatives if you prefer not to hold Bitcoin.
• Approval is the bottleneck, not recording. Budget for the possibility that a task sits in final approval for weeks.
• Check the task list before committing time. With 70+ tasks listed, the specific chores available to you may vary.
