🔔 Miner Wars — Cycle 145: what happened and what we did

We found and fixed an error in Miner Wars cycle 145, and we want to be fully transparent about it.

➡️ What happened

In cycle 145, part of the equipment-maintenance fee - the electricity component - was calculated incorrectly. For part of the reward, the calculation used the average energy efficiency of the league/round instead of each miner’s own efficiency. Because of this, more efficient miners were charged too much for electricity, and less efficient miners were charged too little.

➡️ What was not affected

• The prize pool (the total BTC distributed across leagues) - correct.
• The service fee - correct.
• Rounds protected by reward protection - nothing was charged or credited there, so they are unaffected.

Only the electricity part of the maintenance fee was affected.

➡️ What we did

• We recalculated the entire cycle using each miner’s personal energy efficiency, on a separate instance, and verified that every component (prize pool, crediting, service fee, maintenance) is correct.
• We kept the maintenance discount you had during the cycle. Where that discount was larger, we honored the larger one - so no one ends up worse off.
• We use the exchange rate locked at the time of the cycle for both BTC and GOMINING - not today’s rate. BTC and GOMINING have dropped since the cycle, so we honor the original (higher) rate rather than recalculating at lower prices. The market drop does not reduce your refund.

➡️ What this means for you

• If you were overcharged, we are automatically refunding the difference to your wallet, in the same currency you paid in (BTC or GOMINING). *If during the cycle you paid maintenance partly in BTC and partly in GOMINING, your refund may arrive in both.*
• If you were undercharged, we are not taking anything back.
• You don’t need to do anything - refunds are processed automatically. Crediting may take some time and will be completed within 24 hours of this announcement.

We’re sorry for the error. We’ve corrected the cycle and are committed to getting Miner Wars rewards right. Refunds are automatic and will be completed within 24 hours of this announcement.
