NEWS PATCH: Mining Dashboard & Fixes

PATCH: THE MINING DASHBOARD, REBUILT
Thanks @WzerW
The dashboard used to be a wall of numbers that quietly changed once an hour. It now shows what is actually happening to your rigs, pays out daily mining jobs, rewards you for showing up day after day, and tells you exactly what every block paid you. A few long standing bugs got fixed along the way.

YOUR RIG, FRONT AND CENTRE

• The top of the page is now a live reactor. The ring shows your share of the whole network, and it spins faster the more hashrate you bring.
• Uptime, your chance to find the next block and your hashrate rank sit right under it.
• Powering up and down is one big button instead of a form buried at the bottom.

SESSION FUEL

• The 12 hour session limit is now a fuel tank you can see.
• The dashboard remembers when you left. When you come back it shows how long you were away and how low the tank got, then fills it back up in front of you.
• Keeping the dashboard open keeps the tank full.
• If the tank runs dry, the page tells you how long ago it happened and how many blocks dropped without you. You still get the forum alert as before.

EVERY BLOCK, AND WHAT IT PAID YOU

• When a block is solved while the dashboard is open, a card drops in showing who found it and your exact cut. Gold if you found it yourself, red if you were offline.
• The Recent Blocks list shows the last 8 blocks with your cut of each one, including the ones you missed.
• A timer tracks how long the current block has been running. Blocks average an hour.
• Your records: shares today, blocks found, best single cut this week, total mined and best streak.

DAILY MINING JOBS

• Two jobs every day, rolled for you personally: a Shift worth 20 Shards and an Overtime worth 50 Shards.
• 19 jobs across 10 kinds of work. Collecting shares, staying online through blocks in a row, mining through the night or the evening rush, coming back to a running session, repairing rigs, trading on the Exchange, cracking Supply Drops and buying serious cooling.
• You are never handed a job you cannot finish. Open the dashboard late in the evening and you will not get an all day job. Supply Drop jobs only go to players who own drops.
• Each slot can be swapped once a day. Jobs reset at midnight UTC.
• The Jobs tab shows a counter when something is ready to claim.

MINING STREAK

• Every day in a row that you collect at least one pool share adds 2% to your weight in the hashrate half of every block.
• It caps at +20% after 10 days. Miss a whole UTC day and it starts over.
• No new coins are created. The hashrate half of each block is still the same size, a streak just takes a slightly bigger slice of it.
• The streak card tells you whether today is already locked in or still at risk.

TABS

• Mining: the live numbers, your records, recent blocks and mining achievements.
• Jobs: daily jobs and your streak.
• Network: a chart of network hashrate over the last 24 blocks, the next halving, and the Syndicate Treasury with how much of it goes into the next block.
• Leaderboards: seven boards with avatars, a bar against first place, and your own row highlighted.

FIXES

• The block reward on the dashboard was wrong. It showed less than blocks actually pay. The number you see now matches the payout.
• The How It Works page claimed the hashrate half of a block was split with a square root formula. It never was. It is split in plain proportion to hashrate, now weighted by your streak, and the page says so.
• The Surgical contract could reset itself. One failure at any point in the day dropped it back to zero, even after you had already been paid, and if you had not claimed it yet the reward was gone. It now counts your wins up to your first failure and never goes backwards.
• Any contract or job you have already claimed now always shows a full bar.
• The Syndicate Stash banner said it stocks the same gear cheaper. It does not stock the Data Cache, so the wording now says exactly which items are cheaper there.
• The dashboard asks the server for much less every 10 seconds, so it is lighter on the forum.

FEEDBACK

• Job targets, rewards and the streak bonus are first numbers. If a job feels impossible or too easy, post here with the job name.
