BTC Payouts Suspended for Bitcoin Gold (BTG) Mining
Previously, we provided the option to receive Bitcoin (BTC) payments for mining Bitcoin Gold (BTG), arranged through Gate.io. However, due to Gate.io ceasing BTG deposits, we have halted BTC payments for BTG mining.
Moving forward, all payments for BTG mining will solely be issued in BTG.
Note: All unpaid BTC payouts have been successfully completed.
Kaspa (KAS) Block Reward Decrease
As part of the continuous KASPA Tokenomics and Emission Timeline, a new block reward reduction occurred twice in March:

- Current Block Reward: 61.74 KAS
This modification directly influences your mining earnings. Ensure you utilize 2CryptoCalc to reassess your mining profitability.
