# - 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
