1. Mining rate, how it is calculated?
Before 1000 Hpower, Mining rate is calculated from a logarithm base. For each HPower you own, a calculation is done to know what's the amount of currency to increase. The more your Hpower is near 1000, the less the amount increase. We have also a logBase variable which vary depends on BTC/USD and Ad networks strength.
This way, beginners are more encouraged, as mining rate at start is very low, but it increase in a significative way while Hpower grow.
For the scholar ones, here's the algorithm:
var i an integer, hpower a float, logBase a float, hourRate a float, adjust a float
for i = 1, i <= hpower and i <= 1000
adjust = log(i, 1000)^logBase
hourHRate = hourRate + hrate * ( (1-adjust) / 1 )
i next
end for
From 1000 Hpower, Mining rate is linear, so 1 HPower correspond to the index performance you can see in the mining page. (ex. for 100 Hpower above 1000, I will mine Litoshi performance index 3.5 * 100 = 350 Litoshi per hour for that 100 HPower + my first 1000 HPower mining rate.
2. What is Crystals for? Why mining stopped?
Crystal is used to mine. Each time you click in a "MINE" button, you will pay amount of Crystals depends on your level (level 1: 1 Crystal, level 2: 2 Crystals, level 3: 3 Crystals...).
Each Crystal used to MINE represents 10 minutes of mining. So, for exemple, at level 12, you will be able to mine for 120 min (2 hours) without interruptions. After that, mining will stop and you will need to reactivate it by clicking again in the MINE button
It will also be usefull for many features to come.
3. Can I mine many currencies at same time?
No, it's not possible to mine many currencies at same time.
4. Can I cumulate Mining game and Real mining function?
Yes! You can do it to hugely increase your earnings. To do so, just click the MINE button of the currency you want to mine. After that, you can leave the page and go to the "Mining for real" page to mine.
You need to keep the Real mining window open in order to keep the real mining working.
