donkMiner

The donkMiner emote depicts a green cartoon frog (appears to be a Pepe variant) wearing a yellow mining helmet and holding a pickaxe. This emote represents a mining-themed character with a somewhat concerned or focused expression.

The emote is used to represent mining activities in games, grinding for resources, or when viewers or streamers are engaged in repetitive tasks that require persistence. It's a humorous way to acknowledge the sometimes tedious nature of resource gathering in games.

The donkMiner emote was created by a user named Booleanon and was uploaded to BetterTTV (BTTV) on December 24, 2020. It's part of the extensive collection of Pepe the Frog variants that have become popular in Twitch culture.

The emote combines the popular Pepe character with mining imagery, creating a character that represents the grinding aspect of many games. While not as globally recognized as some other emotes, it has found its niche in gaming communities where resource gathering and mining are common activities.

donkMiner is typically used in Twitch chat in the following contexts:

• When a streamer is mining resources in games like Minecraft, Terraria, or other survival/crafting games
• During grinding sessions where repetitive tasks are being performed to gain resources or experience
• When viewers want to acknowledge that someone is putting in hard work or 'grinding'
• Sometimes used ironically when a streamer is inefficiently gathering resources or mining in a game
• In channels where mining-related content or cryptocurrency mining is discussed
