Reputation Determines Earning Potential
Passive Mode: No Penalties
Reputation matters when you commit to contracts - not when you’re passive.
Passive Mining lets you allocate resources whenever convenient with zero penalties for going offline. Turn your computer off, restart your phone, take a break - no consequences, just less earning time.
We’re not preaching against vendor lock-in while forcing 24/7 uptime.
Active Mode: Accountability
Reputation becomes critical when pursuing Direct Rentals or joining guild contracts.
You accept specific commitments, renters depend on your uptime, you’re responsible for delivery.
Slashing
Breaking contracts, going offline during leases, or delivering below promised specs triggers slashing:
| Violation | Slash Amount |
|---|---|
| Minor infractions | 5-10% |
| Major violations | 25-50% |
| Malicious behavior | 100% + permanent ban |
Slashed funds compensate affected renters.
Benefits of High Reputation
- Priority contract matching
- Bonus multipliers
- Enterprise opportunities requiring proven reliability
New providers start neutral - reputation builds through actual performance when you choose to take contracts.
Casual passive users avoid the system entirely, active contractors play by accountability rules.
