<p align="right"><strong>Uptime</strong>: Shows how long your node has been running without interruption.</p>

<p align="right"><strong>Efficiency</strong>: Helps you optimize your setup. Aim for higher efficiency to maximize rewards.</p>

* <mark style="color:green;">**Session Earnings:**</mark>  \
  Your total earnings for the current mining session are displayed clearly (e.g., 2.1303 CORD).
