⚔️ Miner Wars: the new league structure goes live next week

GoMiners, the biggest change to Miner Wars since launch arrives on October 6, and the race for your place in it starts tomorrow. The cycle that begins tomorrow is the last one under the current structure, and where your clan finishes decides which league it starts in.

🏛️ A much wider ladder

There are 390 places above Dune instead of 150. Odyssey has 1 league, Eclipse 3, Horizon 9 and Dune 27 divisions, with 30 clans in every league above Dune. For almost every clan, the next tier is finally within reach.

⏫ Three up, nine down

The top 3 clans of every league move up each cycle and the bottom 9 move down, so 117 clans get promoted every cycle instead of a handful. Nobody drops out of Dune. League caps stay x256 / x128 / x64 / x32.

🏁 Every place counts this cycle

Clans are placed once, by their final result this cycle, and the promotion zones count. The higher you finish, the higher you start. With the tiers much wider, a strong finish this week can put your clan a full tier above where it plays today. Placement happens only once, so there is no second chance to set your starting point.

👥 Already live

The 50-member cap on joining a clan and one returned clan join for every player went live last week. If you want to switch clans before the new structure, you still have room to do it.

🎲 Round multiplier odds

Round multiplier odds starting tomorrow:

- Odyssey → x1: 60.82% · x2: 23.84% · x4: 9.34% · x8: 3.66% · x16: 1.44% · x32: 0.56% · x64: 0.22% · x128: 0.09% · x256: 0.03%
- Eclipse → x1: 60.02% · x2: 24.02% · x4: 9.61% · x8: 3.85% · x16: 1.54% · x32: 0.62% · x64: 0.25% · x128: 0.10%
- Horizon → x1: 58.76% · x2: 24.31% · x4: 10.05% · x8: 4.16% · x16: 1.72% · x32: 0.71% · x64: 0.29%
- Dune → x1: 56.62% · x2: 24.79% · x4: 10.85% · x8: 4.75% · x16: 2.08% · x32: 0.91%

Rounds, scoring, PPS, spells, boosts and your daily BTC mining rewards work exactly as before.

Make this cycle count. Thanks for helping us keep Miner Wars competitive and fun for everyone ⚔️

📊 Every reward, broken down

If you've ever looked at a daily reward and wondered how that number was reached, this release is for you.

Open any payout and go into the breakdown for each of your miners. Every line shows the formula and the numbers behind it:

⚡️ Electricity, priced off kilowatt-hours and your miner's efficiency

🛠 Service fee, with your discount as its own figure: VIP level, paying maintenance in GOMINING, and the Service button

📈 Reinvestment: where the reward went (BTC, GOMINING or TH) and which bonus applied. If it didn't reinvest because the amount was below the minimum, the payout now says so

💭 Zero days: when maintenance would have exceeded the reward, reward protection holds you at zero rather than negative. The screen says that plainly now, and the bug that displayed those zeros incorrectly is fixed

Above all of it, a summary by month, year and all time, with Mining and Miner Wars counted separately. On My Miners, each miner shows the BTC price at which it covers its own costs, colour-coded against the current price. That point moves with difficulty and with your discount, so read it as where you stand today.

The economics are unchanged. Same formula, same fee, same reward.

Round-by-round Miner Wars detail comes next.

📊Earn accounts vs staking vs yield farming: which one to choose?

There are 3 ways to put idle crypto to work, and each one pays you for carrying a different risk. Once you see which risk it is, the rate on the screen gets much easier to judge.

💎 Earn accounts. A platform holds your coins and does the work for you. It’s the simplest option, which is exactly why the platform’s financial health matters as much as its rate.

⛓️ Staking. You help secure a blockchain network with your assets, and the protocol pays you in its own token. Access varies a lot.

👨‍🌾 Yield farming. You supply tokens to DeFi protocols and keep your own keys. You get the most control, along with exposure to smart contract bugs and price swings.

We broke all 3 options down, and put them against each other in the table: https://btc.gomining.com/wX9kco9

🎉 The VIP Referral Raffle results are in

First, the important part: 61 prize miners haven't been claimed yet. If you won, claim yours before October 31, 23:59 UTC. After that, the prize is gone.

How September went:

400+ referrers took part and collected almost 25,000 tickets
Their friends bought almost $1.25M in miners and upgrades
77 winners shared 200 miners of 4 TH each, so one in five participants won
14 winners were Gold II, a level that couldn't join in August

A few highlights:
🏆 The most active referrer held 8% of all tickets and won 20 miners, 80 TH in total
😅 One participant held 298 tickets and won nothing. The next one's for you.
🎟 One winner had just 2 tickets and still took a 4 TH miner home
📈 One Platinum I referrer had 93 tickets and was expected to win less than one miner. They won four.

Big referrers won a lot, and small ones won too.

Next week we're back with a new contest, and it's a big one. Stay tuned 👀

The GOMINING token’s price crossed $0.40 today 🚀

The token’s main value lies in the utility it has within the GoMining ecosystem:

⭐ Lower maintenance costs. Pay maintenance for your Digital Miners in GOMINING and save up to 20% compared with other payment methods.

⭐ Lock GOMINING to get veGOMINING votes. The longer the lock, the more votes you get. Every week, 20% of newly minted GOMINING goes to vote holders, shared by voting power. Locks in the in-app wallet have zero network fees, and rewards land in your wallet automatically.

⭐ A say in the ecosystem. veGOMINING holders vote on two things: how the ecosystem rewards share is split between extra maintenance discounts, the Miner Wars prize fund and power upgrades for The Greedy Machines collection, and the re-minting ratio that sets how fast the supply burns.

⭐ VIP progress. Your veGOMINING counts toward VIP status alongside hashrate, whichever threshold you reach first, with votes from your Ethereum wallets and your GoMining wallet combined.

⭐ Marketplace and Miner Wars. Buy Digital Miners, avatars and merch with GOMINING, and spend it on boosts to push your score up the clan standings.

⭐ The burn. GOMINING spent on maintenance is burned on-chain daily. Every Tuesday a portion is re-minted at the ratio holders voted on, and the difference is destroyed for good.

⚡ GoBTC Pay backed a hackathon for the future of payments

AI agents are starting to buy things for us, and soon they'll pay each other for services too. Those payments are tiny, constant and cross-border, which is exactly what Bitcoin handles well and what card networks handle badly.

GoBTC Pay, built by GoMining, joined Agnic.AI's Agentic Commerce Pioneers hackathon as a Diamond Sponsor, with a dedicated track and a seat on the judging panel. Teams shipped working prototypes on the protocol over ten days, settled directly on the Bitcoin base layer, free for the payer. It closed with Demo Day in Toronto.

The reason GoMining can do this: the mining operation and the data centres already exist, so the payment rails are built on infrastructure we run rather than something rented for the occasion.

🧠 The quiz is back

GoMiners, you asked for it since Bounty days.

Wednesday, October 7, 17:00 UTC, in the @gomining_talking.

How it works:

• Three questions about GoMining, one after another, as quiz polls.

• Get all three right and you qualify. The first three to qualify win 5 GOMINING tokens each.

• One answer per question, no changing it. A wrong click knocks you out, so read before you tap.

• Nobody gets all three right? One extra question decides it. Still nobody, the prize rolls over to next week's quiz.

See you Wednesday. Set a reminder ⏰
