# Rewards Miner Wars rewards are distributed weekly. Each **Cycle** runs from Tuesday 00:00 UTC to the next Tuesday 00:00 UTC. Two types of rewards are distributed: * **BTC** — for Clan competition winners * **GOMINING tokens** — for personal battle winners ## Who wins and how 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. ### The winning clan Once the clan score for each Clan is calculated, we calculate a winner. #### Step 1. We take the hash of the closed block and convert it to a value in decimal notation For example, if a block is closed with a hash equal to 0000000000000000000002d306eca5333c80bce42c57cdfa32398e599d5519cc460. Its value in decimal notation is `270516535066034331572171579187041234861424580702815328` #### Step 2. At the same time, the system calculates the total score and randomly distributes all the clans by intervals. The position of each clan in the interval table is randomly determined each round. > 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:
NameClan’s scoreClan’s orderClan’s interval startClan’s interval end
Clan B600001060000
Clan A40000260000100000
Clan C750003100000175000
Total score175000


#### Step 3. Find the remainder by dividing the hash in decimal notation by the total score. > 270516535066034331572171579187041234861424580702815328 / 175000 > > Remainder: 144064 #### Step 4. Look for the interval that contains the value of the remainder of the division, and determine the winner. 144064 is between 100000 and 175000, indicating that Clan C is the winner of the round. So it has mined the calculated block. Miner Wars will last indefinitely as long as the Bitcoin blockchain remains operational and real mining pools mine its blocks. ### The winning player 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 that 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. *** ## Distribution and accrual of rewards 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. ### BTC Rewards BTC fund collects pool rewards that all league players would have earned in Mining mode. 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 power / average round power in the cycle) The BTC prize fund 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 power / average round power in the cycle` ratio is close to 1. It slightly changes the reward depending on the difference between the total power in the current round and the average power among all rounds in the cycle. BTC rewards are distributed among clan members based on their power. It is important to remember that maintenance fees are deducted from each BTC reward. The maintenance fees cover the electricity used by real miners and their data center maintenance over the entire 7-day cycle. The cost of maintenance fees for each round is calculated as follows: $$ \text{round electricity fees} = \frac{ \bigl(kWh \times 24 \times 7\bigr) \times \text{round power} \times EE }{1000} $$ $$ \text{round service fees} = 0.0089 \times 7 \times \text{round power} $$ Where: * Round power is the combined TH of all players in a round * EE is an indicator of your digital miner's energy efficiency. {% hint style="danger" %} If your accumulated game rewards for the cycle exceed the amount you would have earned in Mining mode, a different electricity fee calculation applies. From that moment until the end of the cycle, the electricity fee for the excess rewards (the portion beyond what you would have earned in Mining mode) is determined based on the weighted average energy efficiency of all players in **your current League**. {% endhint %} Thus, the cost for a specific digital miner from the list of round winners will be calculated as follows: $$ \text{Digital miner electricity fees} = \left( \frac{\text{Round electricity fees}}{\text{Multipliers count}} \times \text{Round multiplier} \right) \times \frac{\text{Digital miner TH}}{\text{Clan power}} $$ $$ \text{Digital miner service fees} = \left( \frac{\text{Round service fees}}{\text{Multipliers count}} \times \text{Round multiplier} \right) \times \frac{\text{Digital miner TH}}{\text{Clan power}} $$ Where: * `multiplier count` is the number of blocks per cycle If you want to receive BTC rewards after paying the maintenance, make sure your mining farm is up to date. The system calculates 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 approximately 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 also be deducted once a week for each separate round. ### GOMINING Rewards The prize fund 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 the 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. *** ## What [**maintenance discounts**](/faq/maintenance-fees-and-discounts.md#maintenance-discounts) are available in Miner Wars? * **Miner 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: $$ \text{boost} = \text{user PPS} \times 1000 $$ * **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. * **Maintenance discount for payments in GOMINING** — the largest available discount 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). {% hint style="info" %} If your virtual wallet does not have enough GOMINING tokens to cover the maintenance fees, those fees will be deducted in BTC, and the discount will not apply. \ \ Therefore, it’s crucial to **keep GOMINING tokens in your wallet until rewards and discounts are calculated** at the end of the cycle. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
