Maybe not a losing condition, but rather keeping the positive balance should be required to keep mining. Which means, that miners could simply stop, and you could be forced to pay for electricity, to mine new coins. Or: payment could be deducted upfront, and then miners will run for upfront agreed period of time. And also, selling old miners could be possible, to get more funds when needed. For the start, a simple thing like one more field will do. Instead of having an option to "sell 1 SAT here and now for $0.89", it should be possible to put an order, to "sell 1 SAT for at least $1.23, unless it will be filled or cancelled". If there are no other players, you can start from a single buy order, and a single sell order, and improve it later, when you will add more parties to the simulation. By the way: initially I thought, that I can mine more blocks, but the counter seems to be stuck at 3066 total blocks for some reason. So, the status from the screen is not just a snapshot: the network cannot produce block number 3067 for some reason (maybe because of integer precision?).
