Network Contribution Mining

TAUMine implements a unique "Network Contribution Mining" system where each active referral contributes to the referrer's hashrate, creating lasting value from building a strong network:

Referral Hashrate Boost

Referral Type	Hashrate Contribution	Maximum Contribution
First-degree referrals	+10 H/s per active referral	1,000 H/s (100 referrals)
Second-degree referrals	+2.5 H/s per active referral	250 H/s
Third-degree referrals	+1 H/s per active referral	100 H/s

Activity & Longevity Multipliers

The hashrate contribution increases based on referral activity and longevity:

Factor	Multiplier
Casual Referral (1-3 sessions/week)	50% of base contribution
Regular Referral (4-6 sessions/week)	100% of base contribution
Power Referral (7+ sessions/week)	150% of base contribution
30-day active referral	+25% contribution
90-day active referral	+50% contribution
180-day active referral	+100% contribution

Mining Impact

Increased hashrate from referrals provides dual benefits:

• Continuous Mining: Each 100 H/s increases mining rate by 5%

• Block Discovery: Each 100 H/s increases discovery chance by 0.1%

This creates a powerful incentive to not just refer users, but to refer active, engaged users who remain in the ecosystem.
