Reaper's Crypt Community Prize Pool
In order for the platform to ensure sustainability, all direct Discord App transactions — with the exception of deposits — incur a fee that dynamically adjusts based on transaction size and the current price of Bitcoin. This includes Premium Pass purchases, Auction House trades, player-to-player exchanges, and withdrawals. A portion of every fee collected is automatically directed into the Community Prize Pool and redistributed alongside regular Digital Miner payouts to reward active participants.
By sharing its profits with the community, it emphasizes that players are the foundation of any successful project — and they deserve to be recognized and rewarded for their loyalty.
How does the Community Prize Pool work?
The community prize pool is a shared pot of satoshis that supplements every miner's hourly payout on top of their base reward. It exists as a bonus layer — when the prize pool is healthy, miners earn more; when it's empty, base payouts continue unaffected.
How is the Community Prize Pool funded?
The prize pool accumulates automatically from platform activity. Every time a user makes a withdrawal, transfer, premium purchase, or auction sale, 35% of the platform fee collected on that transaction is credited directly to the prize pool. No manual action is required — the more active the economy, the faster it refills.
Is there any other way that the Community Prize Pool gets funded?
The Community Prize Pool can also receive donations at any time by registered users via /donate <amount>. The donor receives a personal thank-you message confirming the donation was added to the prize pool. A donation of 10,000 sats or more will produe a public shout-out posted to the announcements channel, tagging the donor by name and showing the donation amount and the new pool total. Anyone using /donate bypasses the fee system entirely — 100% of the donated amount goes straight to the prize pool with no platform cut taken.
How does the Community Prize Pool pay out?
Each hour, 1% of the prize pool balance is distributed among all active miners, proportional to their hashrate share. A miner with a larger or more powerful rig claims a bigger slice of the hourly budget. Over a full day this works out to approximately 1% of the total pool balance paid out.
What happens if the Community Prize Pool runs dry?
Nothing breaks. Miners continue to receive their base payout from the server revenue pool as normal. The prize pool bonus simply drops to zero until the pool is replenished by fee income or manual seeding. This makes it low-risk to manage — a smaller pool just means smaller bonuses, not a broken system.
What is the relationship of the Community Prize Pool to the Main Server Pool?
The server pool funds the base payout — it's the core engine. The prize pool is the community bonus on top. Both draw from the same 1%/day rate and both benefit from platform fee income (server pool gets the other 65%), so a healthy, active economy naturally keeps both funded over time.
