Mining Penalty

Types of Penalties

Penalty Type
Offense
Consequence
Offline
No heartbeat detected from machine for 10 minutes
*This includes when the machine hardware ID changes, the system cannot identify the current machine and refuses to receive heartbeats
Grace period: 72 hours
Auto disconnect after 14 days of staying offline
Penalties occur every one hour
Faulty
As long as the hardware ID doesn’t change, the machine will be considered as faulty if any of the following scenarios occurs: The total metapower of a machine has decreased by more than 10%

Grace period: 72 hours
Auto disconnect after 7
2 hours of staying faulty
One-time penalty once it’s disc
Early Disconnect
Machines disconnected before the 360-day mining period caused by any of the following:
1> Miners and/or Workers voluntarily disconnect machines
2> Machines stay offline after 14 days 3> Machines stay faulty after 3 days *Bonding machines will also receive the same penalties.
One-time penalty
Penalty amount: 10 days~60 days of mining rewards
Frozen Account
Miners who maliciously cheat, endanger network security, including but not limited to connecting virtual machine, will have their accounts frozen.
1 > Miners cannot withdraw funds, connect/disconnect machines, add/remove worker accounts
2> Offline machines would still be auto-disconnected after 14 days and still face offline and early-disconnect penalties

Offline Machines

Offline Machine Definition

Machines are considered faulty if no heartbeat can be detected from the machine for 10 minutes
Note: this includes when the machine hardware ID changes, the system cannot identify the current machine and refuses to receive heartbeats

Fixing Offline Machines

1> Restart the machine

Restart the machine if the machine hardware ID is the same and the machine network is normal using the following command:
// ccn machine start
2> Replace the machine under the same machine ID
Replace the machine under the same machine ID if the machine hardware ID changes using the following command:
// ccn machine replace -i MachineID
Note: please make sure that the worker address, client type(CCN Mini or CCN Pro), and system type are consistent with its previous settings

Offline Machine Penalties

  • Grace period: 72 hours
  • Auto disconnect after 14 days of staying offline
  • Penalties occur every one hour
Offline Penalty = Est. Mining Rewards * 2.4
Est. Mining Rewards = machines metapower * machine latest reward coefficient * (Σ prize pool in the past 14 days / Σ online metapower in the past 14 days)
Machine latest reward coefficient depends on the % of collateral you have posted

Faulty Machines

Faulty Machine Definition

As long as the hardware ID doesn’t change, the machine will be considered faulty if any of the following scenarios occurs:
  • The hard disk of the machine, the GPU or CPU memory resources have decreased by more than 10%
  • The number of CPU cores, the number of CPUs, or the number of GPUs decreases
  • CPU or GPU type changes

Fixing Faulty Machines

Make sure you have updated to the latest version and restart the Daemon process
1> Query machine information
Query machine information and return the latest machine information and machine hosting information by default using the following command:
// ccn machine info
2> Reset the machine
Reset the machine if the machine hardware ID doesn’t change and the machine's resources have been readjusted using the following command:
// ccn machine renew
3> Replace the machine under the same machine ID
Replace the machine under the same machine ID if the machine hardware ID changes after the machine resources have been readjusted using the following command:
// ccn machine replace -i MachineID

Faulty Machine Penalties

  • Grace period: 72 hours
  • Auto disconnect after 72 hours of staying faulty
  • One-time penalty once it’s disconnected

Early Disconnected Machines

Early Disconnected Machine Definition

Machines got disconnected before the 360-day mining period due to any of the following:
  • Miners and/or Workers voluntarily disconnect machines before the 360-day mining period
  • Machines stay offline after 14 days
  • Machines stay faulty after 3 days
Note: bonding machines will also receive the same penalties

Fixing Early Disconnected Machines

Reconnect machines
Please delete the machine and then re-initialize the machine.

Early Disconnected Machine Penalties

  • One-time penalty
  • Penalty amount: 10 days~60 days of mining rewards
Early Disconnect Penalty = ( 10*24 + Min(H, 50*24) ) * R
Est. Mining Rewards = machine metapower * machine latest reward coefficient * (Σ prize pool in the past 14 days / Σ online metapower in the past 14 days)
H = the hours a machine has been connected to Huygens
Machine latest reward coefficient depends on the % of collateral you have posted

Frozen Account

Frozen Account Definition

An account would be frozen if the miner maliciously cheats and endangers network security, including but not limited to connecting virtual machines.

Fixing Frozen Accounts

Get in touch with us

If miners think that they have been misjudged, they can email [email protected] or use the Discord ticketing system to get in touch with the Oort team. Proofs are required. If the appeal is approved, the miner's account will be unfrozen.
If the Oort team doesn't receive appeal or the appeal is not approved within 7 days after a miner's account is frozen, the miner's account is frozen forever.

Frozen Account Penalties

  • Miners cannot withdraw funds, connect/disconnect machines, add/remove worker accounts
  • Offline machines would still be auto-disconnected after 14 days and still face offline and early-disconnect penalties.

Penalty Collection

CCN will collect penalties from the miner’s account in the following order:
  1. 1.
    Drawing from locked rewards in the miner’s account.
  2. 2.
    Drawing from the available balance in the miner’s account.
  3. 3.
    Drawing from the miner’s refunded initial pledged collateral, obtained when the miner’s machines were disconnected.
If the funds collected prove insufficient, the remaining balance of the penalty will be placed in the miner’s uncleared penalty account. The miner has to pay the remaining balance before hosting.
