In our humble opinion, the actual mining requirements and situation is making mining not sustainable without losses, due to the CRP price and the amount of miners.

A solution is not easy, we know that, and it has to be consistent over time, and not a quick solution for a short term, but a long term one. Without knowing all the details of Utopia under the bonnet, we would like to come up with a suggestion calculator that takes into consideration actual CRP price, avg cost of a reliable server running. Total supply and total amount of miners allowed/needed as a maximum to make it not necessarily profitable but sustainable.

The idea behind this solution is to increase the amount of CRP needed to run 1 miner, so the amount of miners would decrease. But that amount of CRP required should be dynamic, as it depends on the price of CRP too. It all works around the idea of making at least 20$ per miner (20$ is the cost minimum to run a reliable server for the mass). I will post a few examples here depending on CRP prices later on, so you can see how it works. This will improve many things:

1. Mining would be sustainable again, and forever, regardless of CRP price.

2. New investors might want to join the game, and they will have to buy X amount of CRP in order to run one miner (this will benefit the early adopters of this project).

3. People can and should still be able to delegate onto others and make mining a community on its own.

4. People will be forced to hold and not sell if they want to run miners (big investors specially). As time goes on, the amount of CRP needed per miner will get reduced, and the amount of allowed miners will increase exponentially. This allows early adopters at some point to run their own miners with the profits generated on the early stage of the game.

Those are just some advantages of having a dynamic calculation over mining rewards based on price, and amount of miners without touching the basis of the ecosystem where 48 CRP are given away to miners.

Please take a look at few examples for actual CRP price (0.35$ today), CRP at 1$ and even CRP at 5$:

If the formula needs to be shared, just let us know, although is pretty clear. Let us know what do you think, guys.
