Play BitOil and microBitOil: one wallet, two units
Worked examples for small entertainment items and expensive virtual collectibles, with an exact conversion rule and a clear explanation of play money.
Play BitOil and play microBitOil are two ways of displaying the same play balance. Use the larger unit to read expensive virtual items comfortably and the smaller unit to compare tiny entertainment costs. Switching the unit does not multiply your purchasing power or create a second wallet.
Convert in either direction
To convert play BitOil to play microBitOil, multiply by 1,000,000. To go back, divide by 1,000,000. One play microBitOil is 0.000001 play BitOil. That is the smallest whole micro unit, so a price using a fraction of a micro unit cannot be represented as a whole-micro amount.
- An illustrative pretend snack priced at 250 play microBitOil costs 0.00025 play BitOil.
- An illustrative virtual item priced at 2.5 play BitOil costs 2,500,000 play microBitOil.
- An illustrative virtual property priced at 12,000 play BitOil costs 12,000,000,000 play microBitOil.
These are invented examples, not current store listings. Use the actual item catalog and confirmation screen when a network site offers an item. A large number in micro units is not evidence that an item has a real-world monetary value.
Check affordability with the same unit
Suppose your balance is 3 play BitOil and a virtual item costs 2,500,000 play microBitOil. Express the balance as 3,000,000 micro units. After a completed purchase, the arithmetic balance would be 500,000 micro units, or 0.5 play BitOil. This example assumes the same supported wallet, a successful purchase, and no additional charges.
A network site's local guest or practice balance may be separate. Seeing the shared BitOil profile does not mean every local checkout already spends from the shared wallet. Check the site's actual integration rather than adding unrelated balances together.
Ownership and spending answer different questions
Your wallet shows play currency available. Your inventory shows reported current holdings. An entertainment food order that has been consumed is not an owned collectible. An item retained in your collection may contribute its current catalog value to estimated play net worth once the source site reports it.
There is no exchange rate from these units to cash. Play rewards do not become Real BitOil, physical oil, a transferable cryptocurrency, or a promise of future redemption. A useful collecting goal is a collection you enjoy displaying, rather than an imagined payout.
Next, read how estimated play net worth works or explore the network directory to see which sites are connected.
High reward always comes with high risk. If someone offers one without the other, part of the story is missing.
