# - Node Mining

It is a mining method that shares transmission network streaming bandwidth and data.

Mining participants are utilized in Grid Technology, which can reduce transmission costs and network costs, and share the remaining Internet bandwidth with users' PCs, mobiles, etc. to improve data streaming speed and data download speed. And users who participate in mining are rewarded with VRS tokens that match the proportion of trackers and nodes.

* The final reward (NM) for Node mining is as follows&#x20;
* n = numbers of mining users

Detailed formula

* Hardware factor (H): A value based on the type of hardware. The hardware factor has a value of 2 for PC and 1 for mobile.&#x20;
* Bandwidth (B): Upload bandwidth as measured by a trusted node. To encourage participation from distributed nodes, the bandwidth factor has a value of 10 for 1-8M, 5 for 9-20M, and 1 for 21M and above. Using a stair-stepping algorithm. (See example below)&#x20;
* Storage (S): Storage available for mining measurements by trusted nodes. Set storage value to 0 for less than 200G, 1 for 200- 1000G, 2 for higher than 1000G, and a storage factor of 5 to encourage users to share storage resources more.&#x20;
* Online time (t): Daily online time is measured by a trusted node and is the amount of time a user is on the platform (minimum 1 hour to 24 hours).

Example algorithm&#x20;

H = mobile, B = 1M, S = 100G, t = 1h&#x20;

F = \[1 + (1*10) + (0*5) ] \* (1/24) = 0.5&#x20;

H = mobile, B = 8M, S = 300G, t = 2h\
F = \[1 + (8*10) + (1*5) ] \* (2/24) = 7.167&#x20;

H = PC, B = 9M, S = 300G, t = 10h&#x20;

F = {2 + \[8*10+(9-8)5] + (15) } \* (10/24) = 38.333*&#x20;

*H = PC, B = 20M, S = 500G, t = h*&#x20;

*F = {2 + \[8*10+(20-8)*5] + (1*5) ] \* (24/24) = 147
