Miner Wars is a game available to all digital miner holders from the GoMining ecosystem. It provides users with the opportunity to unite and compete both between Clans and in personal battles. A variety of game mechanics are available to help players win.
Players can earn 2 types of rewards:
BTC in battles between Clans
GOMINING tokens in personal competitions
Miner Wars simulates real Bitcoin mining and depends on your Clan’s total hashrate and average energy efficiency. The more power your Clan contributes and the less energy it consumes, the more likely it is to mine the next block.
The game allows digital miner holders to actively influence battle outcomes through strategy and special mechanics during each round.

After registering in the ecosystem, select Miner Wars in the main menu
You will need a digital miner to play. If you don’t have one yet, you can try the game as a Trial player using a free Bonus Miner. Complete tasks to keep your Bonus Miner running
Miners with any amount of TH can participate in Miner Wars, but more powerful and efficient versions strengthen your Clan's position for taking the block, influence the distribution of your rewards when you win, and increase the frequency at which you receive GOMINING tokens in personal competitions.
Join an existing Clan or create your own
Trial players can enter Miner Wars with a Bonus miner — a high-efficiency miner with 16 TH/s of power. To keep it running, you’ll need to complete simple in-game tasks. Terms and periods of ownership may change as this feature improves.
Here are the key differences:
No BTC withdrawal. You can play and compete, but BTC rewards can only be withdrawn after purchasing your own digital miner
Personal battle rewards. If you win in personal battle, your GOMINING reward splits into two parts:
GOMINING tokens equal to what you spent on spells in the round you won
Play-only tokens for the rest — locked until you buy a digital miner and usable only for spells
Clan restrictions. Trial users can't create a Clan or become a Clan Owner
A Clan is a basic game unit in Miner Wars. It consists of other players who own digital miners and combines their stats — total hash power and average energy efficiency. You must join a Clan to participate in the game.
To join an existing Clan, simply review the list of available teams and choose one.
When choosing a Clan, consider the following:
Points-per-second rate (PPS) is the key factor in determining victory. It shows how fast the Clan earns points. A higher rate pushes the Clan toward victory
League determines the Clan’s possible reward multipliers. Higher leagues offer larger BTC payouts
Number of participants indicates how many players are in the Clan
Total rewards reflects the Clan’s success in past Miner Wars battles
Note that BTC rewards for winning are distributed among Clan members based on their personal miners' stats. If you join a large team while your miners have low power or poor energy efficiency, your share of the winnings may be insignificant. You need to decide for yourself which Clan suits you best. A more powerful Clan will often win, which can bring you many small rewards. Teams with a small hashrate can also win, but the possibility is lower. However, in the case of such a victory, your share will be much larger, which can bring you a large amount of rewards at once.
Clans can be private and public.
To join a private Clan, you’ll need to wait for the Clan Owner’s approval. Please be aware that your request might be declined.
If the Clan is public, you will become a member automatically after submitting your application.
The Clan Owner receives a 5% commission of the GOMINING tokens won by Clan members, can invite others to join, accept or reject membership requests, and remove members as needed. The Clan Owner can choose to play solo and is not required to invite anyone to the Clan.
If the Сlan Owner wishes to leave the Сlan, then ownership rights will also be assigned to the member of the team with the highest number of terahashes.
These rules apply to all Clans except those in which there is only one member who also acts as the Clan Owner.
If the VIP status changes more than 24 hours before the end of the cycle (Tuesday 12 am UTC), Clan ownership will remain with the current user until the end of the cycle. To maintain Clan ownership, the user must increase their VIP status to Gold I by this deadline. If the Clan Owner fails to meet this requirement, ownership will transfer to the member with the highest TH amount on the following Tuesday of the cycle
If the VIP status has decreased below Gold I less than 24 hours before the end of the cycle, then the user will have the rest of that day and another week before the end of the next cycle. If by this time the VIP status is not increased to Gold I or higher, Clan ownership will be transferred to another player with the largest amount of TH
If you are not the owner of the Clan, your membership can be revoked without explanation. If this happens, your mining farm will automatically be switched to Mining Mode. To continue playing, you need to switch to the Game Mode again, select a new Clan, and submit an application for participation.
The main task for players is to accumulate points throughout the round. Each player has a personal score that accumulates in rounds automatically every second based on the total power of all their miners and their average energy efficiency. The Clan Score is the total of each Clan member’s personal scores.
The more points, the greater the chance of the clan to “mine” the block, and for an individual miner to win in a personal battle.
There are 3 factors that affect the number of points in a round:
1. Points-per-second rate of each player
2. Tasks that increase the activation time of the Bonus miner. An active Bonus miner will bring the user additional points per second
3. Boosts. Paid time effects influence either the rate of points collected or the final total of user points in the current round
Your Score grows based on your Points-per-second rate (PPs) — a metric that reflects your mining performance.
The PPs rate depends directly on the total power of your miners (TH) and their average energy efficiency.
We calculate your PPS using this formula:
PPS = user TH * (base EE / user EE)
Where:
user TH — the total power of all your miners (in terahashes)
base EE — a constant currently set at 28 W/TH (subject to change)
user EE — your miners’ average energy efficiency, including bonuses (e.g., - 1 W/TH from the Cryptilian avatar)
For example, if your total power is 1 TH and your average energy efficiency is 20 W/TH, your Points-Per-Second rate would be:
1 * (28 / 20) = 1.4 points/sec
This system rewards users who upgrade to more efficient miners and helps keep the game balanced. The higher your power and the more efficient your miners, the faster your score increases.
In Miner Wars, all gameplay takes place in Leagues — competitive divisions where players battle for rewards. League System designed to reward top-performing Clans and encourage strategic growth. There are 4 Leagues, each with its own reward fund and dynamic ranking system:
League
Clan Ranks
Description
Odyssey
1 – 30
Top League with the highest rewards
Eclipse
31 – 60
Competitive mid-tier League
Horizon
61 – 90
Balanced League with growth potential
Dune
91 and below
Entry-level League
At the end of each weekly Cycle, Clans are promoted or demoted based on their performance. The decision is determined by:
Number of blocks mined
Total computing power (TH) (second priority)
Clan ID (used if other metrics are equal)
To enter a higher League, your Clan must be ranked in the Top 3 at the end of the Cycle. This way, in the next Cycle, it will be promoted and take place of one of the lower-ranked Clans.
The game consists of rounds. The beginning and end of the rounds are determined based on the real Bitcoin blockchain.
In the real world, bitcoin mining is essentially a reward for finding (calculating) the next block in the chain. The point of our game is very similar.
We keep track of the real blocks in the Bitcoin blockchain, receive block closure data and, in the meantime, close our game round.
Round times may vary because the closing time for a real block is always different. This adds an extra level of intrigue to the gameplay. We are able to calculate that players take part in between 120-150 game rounds each day.
A round ends when our server receives confirmation of a real block closure in the Bitcoin network.
The start of a new round begins instantly after the end of the previous one.
Each round is assigned a multiplier, depending on how many blocks are mined simultaneously. The multiplier boosts your rewards accordingly and can increase them by up to x256. The range of available multipliers depends on the League in which the round is played:
Starter
Dune
Horizon
Eclipse
Odyssey
x1 – x16
x1 – x32
x1 – x64
x1 – x128
x1 – x256
The multiplier is determined at the beginning of each round. In fact, this is an indicator of the number of blocks won at one time. That is, if a clan/player, for example, wins a round with an x32 multiplier, then this counts as 32 rounds won.
Since the reward fund is limited, the multipliers only affect the weight of each round in the distribution. This means that if there were 129 rounds during the day, 128 of which had an x1 multiplier and were won by Clan A, and one round had an x128 multiplier and was won by Clan B, then these Clans will receive half of the total prize pool each.
Rounds are played with multipliers x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32, x64, x128, and x256. The average coefficient for the multiplier is x2 (this value can be changed). So, the approximate sum of all multipliers per Cycle will be 2 times more than the number of rounds.
Multipliers are applied both in Clan competitions and in personal battles.
Spells let you boost your score growth and gain an advantage during a round.
The exact value of each spell may vary from cycle to cycle and is displayed directly on the item in the game.
This special boost gives you extra points and a maintenance discount.
When you activate Miner service, you immediately receive bonus points. The amount is based on your points-per-second rate multiplied by 1000.
Maintenance discount — is a cumulative discount. The more days in a row you use Miner service, the greater your discount. Each consecutive day gives you a 0.3% discount, up to a maximum of 3% (after 10 clicks in a row).
Instant boosts immediately add points to your personal score. Works well at any point in the round. Ideal for catching up if you joined late
Players can choose between
Instant Boost — Adds extra points to your score instantly
Super Instant Boost — Adds 10x the points of Instant Boost
Ultra Instant Boost — Adds 100x the points of Instant Boost
These boosts increase your Points-per-second rate until the end of the round. They’re especially powerful when used early.
Players can choose between
Power Boost — Adds extra points to your score every second until the round ends
Super Power Boost — Adds 10x the points of Power Boost every second
Ultra Power Boost — Adds 100x the points of Power Boost every second
These boosts grant points after every 2 minutes, with the amount increasing at each payout. They don’t give any points immediately — instead, the gain grows over time and becomes more powerful the longer the round continues.
For example, starting from boost activation, you’ll receive:
x points in 2 minutes
2x points in 4 minutes
3x points in 6 minutes
…and so on until the round ends.
Players can choose between
Echo Boost — Adds extra points to your score after every 2 minutes, with the amount increasing over time
Super Echo Boost — Adds 10x the points of Echo Boost after every 2 minutes
Ultra Echo Boost — Adds 100x the points of Echo Boost after every 2 minutes
New Miner Wars users who will purchase their first digital miner within their first week in the game will receive a Welcome Pack. It contains a limited set of powerful free spells:
1 × Power Boost
1 × Super Power Boost
3 × Instant Boosts
The Welcome Pack is available for 7 days. After this period, all unused boosts will expire.
Winners are determined within each League. This means that both players and Clans compete only against others in the same League.
At the close of the round, we count the score of each player. Then we count the score of each clan:
clan’s score = ∑ personal score
Where ∑ personal score is the sum of all personal scores of the clan’s players.
In each round, two winners are determined: a Clan and a separate miner.
Once the clan score for each Clan is calculated, we calculate a winner.
For example, if a block is closed with a hash equal to 0000000000000000000002d306eca5333c80bce42c57cdfa32398e599d5519cc460.
Its value in decimal notation is 270516535066034331572171579187041234861424580702815328
total score = ∑ clan’s score
Clan’s interval consists of start and end values:
clan’s interval start = previous clan’s score end clan’s interval end = ∑ previous clan’s score + your clan’s score
For example, there are three clans in the game: Clan A, Clan B, and Clan C.
Clan A has 40,000 points (clan’s score). Clan B has 60,000 points. Clan C has a score of 75,000. The interval table looks like this:
Name
Clan’s score
Clan’s order
Clan’s interval start
Clan’s interval end
Clan B
60000

60000
Clan A

270516535066034331572171579187041234861424580702815328 / 175000
Remainder: 144064
144064 is between 100000 and 175000, which tells us that Clan C is the winner of the round. So it has mined the calculated block.
Miner Wars last indefinitely as long as the Bitcoin blockchain works and its blocks are mined by real mining pools.
The exact same scheme is used to determine the personal winner. Here the system sets sorting users according to random intervals within their clan.
Let’s look at the example of the winning clan C.
Let’s assume that there are 3 members in the clan: James, Felicia, and the Clan’s owner Patrick. For convenience, let’s decide that each of them has one digital miner.
As we remember, the interval of pool C is from 100000 to 175000. Within this interval, users and their miners are positioned as follows:
Name
Personal score
Miner order
Player’s interval start
Player’s interval end
James
20000
1
100000
120000
Felicia
50000
2
120000
170000
Patrick
5000
3
170000
175000
Clan’s score
75000
We check which interval contains the remainder (144064). This is Filicia’s miner, so she will take the reward in GOMINING tokens for this round. At the same time, Patrick will take 5% of the tokens won, since he is the owner of the Clan.
Miner Wars rewards are distributed weekly, with each Cycle running from Tuesday 00:00 UTC to the next Tuesday 00:00 UTC.
Leagues in Miner Wars have their own prize pools: BTC for Clan competitions and GOMINING tokens for personal battles.
The BTC prize pool is distributed among all Clans that have won at least one game block during the Cycle. The calculation is based on closed rounds for the period. The sum of all blocks is determined by the sum of all multipliers of all rounds won by the Clan.
BTC fund collects pool rewards that all league players would have earned in Solo mining.
The amount of BTC that will be distributed for each round is calculated using the following formula:
round reward = current round multiplier / total number of multipliers in the cycle * BTC prize pool * (round PPS / average round PPS in the cycle)
The BTC prize pool is distributed among all Clans that have won at least one game block during the Cycle. The calculation is based on closed rounds for the period. The sum of all blocks is determined by the sum of all multipliers of all rounds won by the Clan.
"Round PPS / average round PPS in the cycle" ratio is close to 1 and slightly change the reward depending on the difference between the total PPS in the current round and average PPS among all rounds in the cycle.
BTC rewards are distributed among the clan members according to their Points-per-second rate.
It is important to remember that maintenance fees are deducted from each BTC reward. The maintenance fees consist of the cost of electricity consumed by real miners and their maintenance in data centers during the whole 7-day cycle.
The cost of maintenance fees for each round is calculated as follows:
round electricity fees = ((kilowatt Hour * 24 * 7)) * round PPS * EE) / 1000
round service fees = 0.0089 * 7 * round power Where:
round PPS is the combined PPS rates of all players in a round
EE is an indicator of the energy efficiency of your digital miner.
Thus, the cost for a specific digital miner from the list of round winners will be calculated as follows:
Digital miner Electricity fees = (Round electricity fees / Multipliers count * Round multiplier) * (Digital miner TH / Clan power)
Digital miner Service fees = (Round service fees / Multipliers count * Round multiplier) * (Digital miner TH / Clan power) Where:
Multipliers count is the number of blocks per day
If you want to receive BTC rewards after paying the maintenance, make sure your mining farm is up to date. The system makes the calculation based on the average energy efficiency of all your digital miners. With poor performance, the maintenance fees can take away all the mined Bitcoin from you.
Before the final payment to the players, the system takes into account all the discounts they have. The amount of discount for paying for the maintenance in GOMINING tokens, VIP discount, as well as the discount for the Service Button is calculated exactly at 12 am UTC every Tuesday.
Users receive rewards for Miner Wars once a week, the maintenance fees in GOMINING tokens for the blocks won will be deducted also once a week for each separate round.
The prize pool in GOMINING tokens is tied to the Burn & Mint cycle and accumulates during the week from Tuesday to Tuesday. GOMINING is played between the digital miner holders who won the rounds in a personal competition.
The prize fund in GOMINING tokens is formed from three components:
97.5% of all GOMINING tokens used in Miner Wars to pay for boosts and spells also go to the prize pool. 2.5% of the tokens spent on game mechanics go to the development of Miner Wars
Additional GOMINING for winning players in the Odyssey League. These tokens are allocated to this category every week due to the work of the GoMining ve-tokenomics. The veGOMINING vote holders decide by voting how many tokens will be distributed
Additional GOMINING tokens will be added periodically as part of marketing campaigns
Just like BTC rewards, rewards in GOMINING tokens are paid to the winners’ virtual wallets once a week on Tuesdays according to the share of blocks mined by player, but in the personal competition.
Unlike BTC rewards, in the case of rewards in GOMINING tokens, the energy efficiency of the mining farm does not matter. This means that even owners of low-energy digital miners can receive rewards for winning personal battles.
Service Button — a cumulative discount of up to 3% and an extra round score boost. When calculating BTC rewards, we apply the discount accumulated by 00:00 UTC on Tuesday, so don't forget to click the Service button throughout the cycle. The number of additional points is calculated using the following formula:
boost = user PPS * 1000
VIP discount — the discount amount varies depending on the number of TH or veGOMINING votes owned. Players will receive a 0.3% discount for the Bronze II VIP level and a 6% discount for the maximum Elite level. During the time of ownership of the Bonus miner, it will add an extra 16 TH/s to the player’s farm, which can also increase the discount
Maintenance discount for payments in GOMINING — this is the largest discount available within our ecosystem. By choosing to pay for maintenance not with bitcoins, but with GOMINING tokens, you can receive a discount ranging from 1% to 20%, depending on the total amount of tokens you hold (including both tokens in your virtual wallet and tokens locked in tokenomics).
Clan be created only by users with Gold I+ (100+ TH or 1000+ votes).
