How power and bonus work in RollerCoin

How power and bonus work in RollerCoin
Art: RollTheCal.

In RollerCoin, your mining power isn't just the sum of your miners. It comes from three parts, and one of them (the bonus %) multiplies everything else. Understanding this formula is what separates players who build their room by guessing from those who get the most out of every miner.

The three parts of your power

The formula

League power = miner power × (1 + bonus %) + rack bonus

The rack bonus is calculated miner by miner: each miner's power × the bonus of the rack it sits in.

A real example

This is a real Platinum II room, checked against the game's league bar:

PartValue
Miner power18,020.26 Ph/s
Miner bonus450.29%
Rack bonus829.88 Ph/s
League power18,020.26 × 5.5029 + 829.88 = 99,993.5 Ph/s (99.9935 Eh/s)

The record shown on the game's league bar was exactly 99.9935 Eh/s. The math matches to the last digit.

Why the bonus matters so much

In the example, the 450.29% bonus turns every 1 Ph/s of miner into about 5.5 Ph/s in total. And every extra 1% of bonus adds 1% of your miner power, about 180 Ph/s in this room.

In practice: a weak miner with a high bonus can add more than a strong miner without bonus. A 4.6 Ph/s miner with a 1.5% bonus (the Sunforge) added almost 300 Ph/s to this room, and the bonus was responsible for more than 90% of it.

Copies don't add bonus

Each miner's bonus % counts only once. If you have two identical miners (same model and same level) in your room, the second one adds only its power, not its bonus. That's why it pays to have different miners in the room and to store copies when space is tight.

What doesn't count for the league

The “Total” the game shows at the top includes things that don't count to decide your league:

All of them help you mine more, but the league only uses the formula above: miners, miner bonus and racks.

Racks: where to place each miner

Since a rack's bonus applies only to the miners inside it, your strongest miners should sit in the racks with the highest bonus. Moving a 5 Eh/s miner from a +3% rack to a +5% rack adds 100 Ph/s without buying anything.

How the calculator uses this

RollTheCal runs this formula with your public profile data. In the Summary tab you see your league power, your bonus and how much each 1% of it is worth. In the Room & Simulator tab, every miner you remove, move or place immediately shows the new power, counting bonus, copies and racks.
