So far based on my calculation i am getting 2-3 idena per hour, is it the normal rewards? My current status now is newbie and i dont know if status plays a role in mining rewards.
51840 (daily distribution) * 50% (mining reward percentage) / 24h/ 187 (number of miners with online mining status) = 5,77 DNA/h
62 idena is worth 14-15 hours of mining. That is really a stiff fine.
Current mining penalty is equal to 45,188 DNA = 7,8h of mining.
And time to mine penalty is constant (~8h) because mining speed and mining penalty is based on the same variable which is number of online nodes. No matter how big the network will grow.
My node is having penalty issue too. I've revived 3 of them yesterday. Good thing is that penalties does not sum up. I still have 45 DNA do mine ... not ~90 (3x45 minus minted while node was running)
