Nimipet will make it possible for anyone to compete.

The hashing power will be a factor, but not the major one.

The points will be calculated using this formula: Food pieces fed + (NIMs mined * 2)

Example below:

1st player has an old PC with just 500 h/sec

2nd player is playing with 5x power (2500 h/sec)

After 1 hour of an in-game mining, both will have 4 pieces of food that will give them 4 points each. (1 piece of food is mined in 15 minutes on any device.)

Considering the hashing power, let’s say that the first player will mine 0.5 NIM and the 2nd player will mine 2.5 NIM.

Then the total amount of points:

1st = 5 points (4 + (0.5 * 2))

2nd = 9 points (4 + (2.5 * 2))

In this case, the 1st player can easily outperform the 2nd player by mining just 1 extra hour even though his mining power is 5x lower.

The formula can still be balanced and additional factors can be added to make the game fun and enjoyable for most, not just for those who have lots of hashing power.
