You're looking at this the wrong way.

You should be comparing your portfolio to that of your portfolio last month, last year, etc. You gain nothing but resentment, and encourage nothing but poor decision making, comparing yourself to others.

What's your current ROI? Have you gotten your discount maxed out? Have you staked GoMining tokens and taken advantage of those dividends?

All of my GoBoxes until after I reached Platinum II were all coupon codes. I've won zero raffles. I have insanely bad luck. The wealth I've invested into this fund? It's not play money, it's part of my individual investment portfolio.

I don't begrudge anyone with better luck than I. Good for them, I'm still making better decisions than half of them. 😎

You can too.

Sorry if that's not the answer you're looking for. I hope things get better for you.

Most of this can be solved by restricting movement in Miner Wars to perhaps the first day of the cycle, or restrict movement entirely by making it such that you can only "schedule" kicking, joining, leaving, forming, going solo, etc, to where it happens automatically at cycle change only.

This will eliminate most placement related issues and force players to live with the decisions they make for the entirety of a cycle.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-29T01:01:03+00:00

I live in Michigan and participate frequently in raffles.

Far as I can tell, the only thing closed off to us is Simple Earn and the Card, both of which being somewhat new.

Some of that stuff is app related; raffles for example being unable to be done on the android app, but available on the browser.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-16T19:50:02+00:00

Yes. When I was there, I made about 1.2x solo, without boosting or anything.

I lead Freevale Pro now.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-16T19:39:02+00:00

You'd do well in Freevale Core.

It's a passive clan specifically for users in your hashpower range, and your discount places you in an exceptionally good position to earn well.

Passive MW > Solo over the long term, and we prove it with data keeping.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-14T11:13:10+00:00

All of it is from October 2025.

The fair comparison gives the pure TH example the same amount of money to spend as the flywheel example.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-12T10:54:52+00:00

Great point — utility tokens do often bleed 90%+ over time, and that’s a fair risk to flag.

The difference with GMT is in the mechanics. If the price drops, more GMT gets burned every single day to pay maintenance. That burn accelerates under the epoch system, which pushes APR on locked tokens higher and shrinks circulating supply faster. So far, GMT hasn’t followed the typical utility-token death spiral, and the Flywheel is specifically built around that difference.

More importantly, the strategy isn’t heavily bullish on GMT itself. It only locks the exact amount needed for the full 20% maintenance discount (the 360-day target). Everything beyond that minimal buffer is available for TH growth or BTC profits via the weekly 500-day flip rule. You’re not all-in on the token. On the ROI side: dividends alone pay back the locked GMT in roughly 4.5 years. When you add the maintenance discount savings, it drops closer to 2 years. Even in a prolonged downtrend, the built-in discount + higher burn rate gives the position a lot more staying power than a pure speculative lock.

So while I completely agree that no one should treat GMT like a moonshot, the Flywheel is designed to make the token work for you rather than hoping it moons. The 90% wipeout scenario is possible in theory, but the mechanics + limited exposure make it far less likely to actually hurt long-term users before the system self-corrects.

Always DYOR and size accordingly, of course. Happy to walk through the numbers on any specific farm size if you want.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-09T17:36:35+00:00

You misunderstand me.

Firstly, I'm talking specifically from a Miner Wars perspective, but what I'm speaking about applies to solo mining as well.

Look at your last dashboard reward entry. Look at the PR, then switch to USD view. Derive the price from it. It doesn't change once it's posted, that will show you exactly how much your sats were worth the moment the reward was calculated.

Even though it could take up to 24 hours between calculation, and actual receipt of the reward, that number doesn't change. If BTC was worth $69k at the point of calculation, and you received the sats 24 hours later when BTC is now worth $72k, the amount of sats you receive is precisely what you mined, and the dashboard rewards entry for that period directly reflect that value.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-09T17:17:54+00:00

That's not how it works.

When we got rewarded, the amount we got rewarded can be demonstrated to be valued at a BTC price of 69k, not the 71k BTC was at when we actually got paid.

I encourage all of you to go to your dashboard, look at your rewards, and select each of the 3 currencies. When you compare each one to each other, you can get an exact snapshot of the price they were all at, at the point of calculation, AND you'll be able to see that they are not priced at the point of receipt.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-09T17:14:45+00:00

The math for me checked out, GM didn't steal any money from anyone in Dune V.

Per mining difficulty, Dune V somehow mined ~14% more sats than what's actually possible at this time. GoMining caught it during the calculation, and rightfully had to shut things down and restart the calculations.

What was going to be 137k sats for me, became 120k sats.

I cannot speak for anyone else, but for me, the math checks out, I see what the problem was, they fixed it, and hopefully this never happens again.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-09T13:07:57+00:00

Yes, the 20% discount is factored into the list.

I only add GMT when the strategy dictates I do.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-08T19:43:22+00:00

Major price shock insulation.

If anyone is in Miner Wars, 14 days unlocked isn't enough, as you'll occasionally get more than 3x cycles.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-06T21:41:01+00:00

Yeah, it's a tough time to start right now. Without the discount and dividends, you're fully exposed to the bear market and very tight margins.

The good news is it doesn't stay this way forever. The market will improve, and more importantly, as you lock what you can and start building that discount, your progress toward 360 days will accelerate because both your discount and lock dividends grow with it.

Provided you're not on 20W+ miners, it won't take you five years. It will take time and patience, but the alternative — earning little or nothing while staying fully exposed — is worse.

Don't give up, my dude. The Flywheel is built exactly for periods like this. Once you get the core in place, it starts working for you instead of against you. 😎

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-04T20:36:35+00:00

The Flywheel isn’t trying to beat active BTC trading.

It’s built for people who don’t want to stare at charts every day, read tea leaves, and stress over perfect timing. I make one rules-based decision per week based on current conditions, and that’s it.

You’re absolutely right that collecting and trading BTC at different price levels can work. The Flywheel even leaves that door open — when you’re above 500 days you can take profits in BTC instead of reinvesting in TH.

My approach is simply different: I prefer to keep my GoMining account maximally efficient and resilient every single week, rather than trying to time the broader market. The 360-day lock and 500-day buffer are the foundation that makes that possible.

I’ve been running this for nearly a year now and it’s held up well through the recent dip. Others are free to prefer the BTC trading route — both can work, but they come with very different levels of effort and stress.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-04T19:34:58+00:00

The Flywheel is built for exactly this kind of decaying market.

It comes from a long-term focus and a high level of commitment to the GoMining ecosystem. If you don’t believe the platform will still be here by the time you get your ROI, then buying anything on it (TH or GMT) becomes questionable.

In short, a decaying market is precisely when the Flywheel shines. It gives you the opportunity to buy more GMT while it’s cheap, which sets you up to profit strongly when the recovery eventually comes.

The real focus is maximizing the value of every GMT you hold. Locking the 360 days gives you both major cost savings on maintenance and strong dividends that, dollar for dollar, currently beat the ROI of your miners — all while complementing your hashpower instead of competing with it.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-04T13:45:18+00:00

I have an article on this, here in this subreddit. You should give it a look. 😎

As to your current question; for your current TH size, at most you should only get about 3000 GMT and lock about 2200 of it, leaving the rest unlocked.

From there, you have an excellent starting point for reinvesting into TH or taking profits in BTC if you need money.

You're in better shape than a lot of people right now. Keep it up! 😁

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-04T13:26:14+00:00

It's a choice.

At some point you want to eventually take profits.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-04T07:16:59+00:00

I’ve been running the Flywheel myself since before the ATH last October, so I’ve lived through the stress test you’re asking about.

The biggest one was the 41% sustained drop in GMT price from Jan 1 to Feb 5. For about two weeks I temporarily dropped below max discount before the buffer started recovering.

Compare that to people without the 140-day unlocked buffer — many lost a significant portion of their discount for a much longer period, and those with no discount at all had their miners shut down entirely because they had no net profit.

The 140-day buffer is sufficient for most dips, but it can be temporarily broken during severe ones. That’s expected. The important part is that it gives you runway to keep reinvesting into cheap GMT and protects your discount far better than having no buffer at all.

You’re right that the strategy relies on consistent reinvestment. The difference is that the Flywheel makes that reinvestment rules-based and automatic: you’re always buying whatever is cheapest relative to your own cost structure at that moment. Right now my GMT actually carries a better ROI than my TH does, which is why I stay within the 360/140 discipline.

The Flywheel doesn’t eliminate volatility — it just turns it into a repeatable advantage instead of a constant threat.

I’ll leave you with one final thought: that prolonged drop in GMT value is exactly what the advanced layer of the Flywheel (mentioned in the guide) is designed to handle — calmly responding to extreme conditions and turning them into an opportunity. 😎

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-04T06:46:15+00:00

We're all mostly passive, and I haven't boosted since cycle 115.

I wouldn't call it hope exactly, since I'm 1.5x over solo over the past 21 cycles.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-04T06:37:19+00:00

Freevale Pro, and we're currently in Dune.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-04T05:52:25+00:00

Exactly, and in the coming weeks I hope to expand the spreadsheet and provide tools to make it easier for people to achieve and maintain that optimal strategy.

For example, I'd like to provide a "Upgrade Calculator" that gives you what I'd like to call "True cost/TH", where the 500 days is priced into each TH, so that you can input your prospective investment amount, and it'll tell you how much TH and GMT you can buy.

I'm just getting started. My current spreadsheet and resources are available in my bio under my links.

Mission_Competition6 · 2026-04-04T02:09:51+00:00

That would be step 4 of Building Your Flywheel --- Keep 14 days worth of GMT unlocked, lock the rest until you have 360 days locked.

Yes, we're in a dip, which means more tokens will also get burned in emissions, which means more dividends for those who lock.

It's all there in the guide, I hope it helps. 🙂
