Honeyminer, the crypto mining app that lets users earn bitcoin with laptops, is fast gaining traction.
Revealed exclusively to CoinDesk, the startup's user base has swelled to almost 50,000 since launching in June.
In the startup's Telegram channel, one such user in Kenya responded to a survey saying he is using Honeyminer to acquire his first bitcoin stash.
Other developing nations with thousands of users flocking to download Honeyminer include India, Indonesia and the Philippines, co-founder Noah Jessop told CoinDesk.
This flood of users is proving the mining pool software can work on computers with 1,100 different types of graphics processing unit cards, according to Honeyminer co-founder Larry Kom.
Honeyminer converts mining rewards from GPU-mineable cryptos such as ether and zcash into bitcoin and then deposits it directly in users' digital wallets.
Kom told CoinDesk the sheer diversity of insights users have provided about GPU mining with various hardware types is invaluable.
Jessop said he has also been inspired by the variety of new miners.
The leader in blockchain news, CoinDesk is a media outlet that strives for the highest journalistic standards and abides by a strict set of editorial policies.
CoinDesk is an independent operating subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, which invests in cryptocurrencies and blockchain startups.
