# General Mining Formula

The actual Mining Rate of a Node at any given time is:

$$
∑FC = R₀ × (1 + B) + R
$$

Where:

* **R₀** — Base Mining Rate at the time of Node creation (1, 0.5, 0.25, or 0 FC/day depending on halving milestone)
* **B** — Total Mining Rate accumulated from Peer Meet, Trust Circle, Anchor Node, Knowledge Proof
* **R** — Additional FC from Network Expansion

The Mining Rate (**B**) is a cumulative positive value from multiple sources, accelerating FC production during its validity window, it does not directly add FC to the Node. \
\
\&#xNAN;*Example: a Node with R₀ = 1 and B = 2.25 → Mining Rate = 1 × (1 + 2.25) = **3.25 FC/day**.*

***

#### Mining Session

Mining does not run automatically. Users must activate a **24-hour Mining Session** by opening the app and pressing the mine button. During 24 hours, the Node produces FC continuously at its current Mining Rate. If no new session is activated, the Node pauses - all FC already produced remains with the User.
