The current reward for mining is super lame, just a few characters in a leaderboard. If I were implementing something like this, I'd do something like a crossover between Reddit's Place project and the million dollar homepage, where you mine x amount of coin in order to place a pixel on a shared canvas. Right now there's no psychological motivation to continue mining, especially because if someone arrives late in the game, they have almost 0 chance of rising to the top of the leaderboard, so why even bother?
