Scoring algorithm update improves miner competition balance
Share
Minos implemented a scoring algorithm change that narrowed performance gaps between miners, enabling real competition while keeping FreeBayes as an option pending one-week reassessment. A deregistration mechanism PR will merge tomorrow, shifting from strict winner-heavy weighting to a top-10 eligible system with geometric smoothing for ranks 2-10 and pruning pressure only on ranks 11+. Dashboard clarity fixes are incoming to separate EMA rank, reward rank, and weight submission timing.
- •Burn rate increases to 87%; rank #1 gets 10% weight, ranks #2-#10 weighted geometrically
- •Deregistration pressure now targets low performers (rank 11+) instead of high-ranking miners
- •Weight submissions working correctly; dashboard timing lag caused confusion, API update merging soon
- •FreeBayes remains available; team will reassess removal in one week
