# Increasing levels
**1)** You can increase levels of your miner both in the *Inventory* (when the miner does not produce BTCi) and while it mines as well. To do this, simply click on the miner itself, after which you will see the following:
**2)** Click on the \[**Improve**] button - and confirm the leveling up:
**3)** As you can see, level has increased:
**4)** You cannot raise several levels in a row at once. When you raise the level, you need to wait some time (*cooldown*) before the miner can move to the next level. The time table is shown below:
Time to increase NEXT level is calculated in accordance with formula: (time to increase PREVIOUS level) x 1.6
**How to distribute stat's points:**
**1)** After you have increased the level of your miner, it gains 5 points (regardless of the level - always 5). These points can be directed into the stats (in order to increase miner's performace):
**2)** To do this, click on the "**+**" next to a particular stat (*below*), and watch how it affects the characteristics (*above*):
For example: by increasing Hashrate, you will see how the "*BTCi mining rate*" (amount of mined tokens) grows; increasing Luck will increase the "*Details mining rate*" and so on.
**3)** The distribution of points should be taken carefully - increasing only one of the stats (for example, Hashrate) you risk to find yourself in a situation where miner will often break. This, in turn, leads to a decrease in profitability.
**4)** You can add and subtract points while leveling (watching how this affects the performance, i.e. characteristics *above*). To complete the upgrade, click \[**Save**] button. Please note: after pressing the button, it will no longer be possible to redistribute points!
