@ -270,26 +270,24 @@ In block 277,316, the total transaction fees are 0.09094928 bitcoins.
Next, Jing's node calculates the correct reward for the new block. The reward is calculated based on the block height, starting at 50 bitcoins per block and reduced by half every 210,000 blocks. Because this block is at height 277,316, the correct reward is 25 bitcoins.
The calculation can be seen in function +GetBlockValue+ in the Bitcoin Core client, as shown in <<getblockvalue_source>>.
The calculation can be seen in function +GetBlockSubsidy+ in the Bitcoin Core client, as shown in <<getblocksubsidy_source>>.
