# Miner End Game Support

Traditionally, when a miner contract balance reaches zero, the game is over.

Mountain Miner is testing a different approach.

When the original game appears to be nearing its end, deposits may be disabled. This is intended to prevent accidental deposits from users who would likely not receive a reasonable ROI.

Even after deposits are disabled, injections into the contract balance may continue for a limited period.

## Minimum End Game Support Period

End game support is expected to continue for at least 30 days after the main game has concluded.

The final length of end game support will be announced later.

## Contract Flexibility

Mountain Miner includes contract flexibility to help with end game support.

Possible end game changes include:

* Reducing the daily rate so more users can claim from the available contract balance.
* Reducing the max payout so users with lower ROI levels have a better chance of reaching profit.
* Directing contract balance support toward users who have taken less out of the system.

## Example End Game Change

If the game reaches end stage, the max payout could be reduced from 3X to 1.2X.

This type of change could help more players ROI and ensure the remaining contract balance goes to users who have taken less out of the system first.

{% hint style="warning" %}
End game support will not last forever. Treasury injections, daily rate changes, and max payout adjustments are not guaranteed and will depend on the state of the miner and the wider Altitude ecosystem.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://thealtitudeproject.gitbook.io/docs/mountain-miner/end-game-support.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
