# - Upload Mining
This is a mining method in which creators who produce content and users who produce utilizable data share their data.
It is a mining method that considers video and data traffic, downloads, and views uploaded by users, and provides a variety of content and data to activate the community and expand data on the network. It is rewarded with HP and VRS tokens.
Node Mining Formula
* Reward (F)
* The mining reward combined with the individual file reward (FS) is as follows.
* m = numvers of upload files
* The final reward (UM) for upload mining is
* n = numbers of mining users
Detailed formula
* Downloads (D): The number of times a user's uploaded file is downloaded by other users. Only one account can be counted, with a download factor of 5 for 1-10, 3 for 11-49, 2 for 50-99, and 1 for 100 or more.
* Upload size (U): The size of the uploaded file. To encourage users to share more storage resources, the upload value is set to 0 for less than 10G, 1 for 11-50G, 2 for greater than 50G, and the upload factor is set to 3.
* View Reward (O): Cumulative daily views from 0:00 hours in the previous 24 hours to 24 hours in the current day. With a minimum of 1, a maximum of 10, and a default of 1, the higher the number of views, the higher the reward, with a view factor of 5.
Example algorithm
D = 5, u = 5g, o = 3
F = ( 5*5 + 0*3 + 3*5) = 40*
*D = 15, u = 5g, o = 5*
*F = ( 15*3 + 0*3 + 5*5) = 70
D = 15, u = 20g, o = 5
F = ( 15*3 + 1*3 + 5*5) = 73*
*D = 50, u = 20g, o = 10*
*F = ( 50*2 + 1*3 + 10*5) = 153

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://vrs-contact.gitbook.io/vrs/blockchain-technology/upload-mining.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
