How do block rewards and transaction fees combine into miner income?

When you mine a block on Malairte, you receive two things: a block reward in newly issued MLRT, and the sum of the transaction fees in that block. Today the block reward is by far the larger piece. Over the long run, emission schedules typically slow down so block rewards shrink and transaction fees become a bigger share of miner income. For honest planning, look at both numbers on the current network status page rather than assuming the present-day mix will hold forever. As a home miner contributing to a pool, you receive a proportional slice of both components based on the shares you submitted.
