Your GPU converts public-domain text corpora into mathematical vectors (embeddings) that make the text searchable. You are not doing proof-of-work hashing — you are performing int8-quantized embedding work that becomes part of the permanent knowledge index. The pipeline is: public data → chunking → GPU embedding (nomic-embed-text 1.5) → int8 quantization → verification → index.
Any modern GPU with ≥8GB VRAM (e.g., GTX 1080 Ti, RTX 3060/4070/4090) is ideal. An 8-core CPU can mine but at ~1× baseline speed versus ~20× on a 4090. RAM ≥16GB, free disk ≥50GB for corpus chunks. No specific OS — Windows, Linux, macOS will all be supported. Installation is one-click and detects your hardware automatically.
Under 5 minutes: download the client, run the installer, and it auto-detects your hardware. No manual configuration. Uninstall is a single command and leaves no residue.
No. Mine when you want. Pending jobs are released if your node goes offline, and your verified work remains in the index.
Earnings depend on verified workload, total network participation, and premium subscription revenue that week. The formula is: shares = verified vectors × hardware multiplier; pool = 50% of premium revenue; unit price = pool / total shares. See the Mining Economics section for the full breakdown including a break-even example. All figures on the site are estimates.
Weekly, in USDT on the TRC20 network. Minimum payout is $5.00, with a 2% operational fee covering verification and gas. Settlement history will be published at network launch with transaction IDs.
Electricity is your responsibility. A 300W rig at $0.10/kWh costs ~$0.72/day. Use your share multiplier to estimate accumulation rate and decide if projected growth justifies the cost for you. Nothing on this site is financial advice.
No. There is no guaranteed income. Payouts may be zero in weeks with low premium revenue or low participation. Mining rewards are not investments or securities.
Never. Your personal files are never scanned, processed, uploaded, or stored. Miners process only public corpora downloaded from public sources. See Privacy Architecture.
In local mode, no — search runs entirely on your machine. Hosted API queries (premium, opt-in) are processed on our infrastructure.
No. The client runs as a normal user process with hard memory (16GB) and CPU (4 threads) caps. Sandboxed execution ships with client v1.
Yes. Every release will be cryptographically signed by the founding authority key, and we will publish reproducible builds so you can verify byte-for-byte from source. Unsigned clients refuse to run.
The data layer is peer-to-peer (libp2p DHT, no central server hosts the index). Governance is by the founding authority: task manifests are signed, epochs are signed, and the network can be scheduled, throttled or paused via signed epochs (max 24h validity). This is the Sovereign Network model.
The pipeline code is open-source. You can fork the brain — the network, the data, and the constitution. If you want a different ruler, build one. We carry the burden of proof in public.
Yes — you must be 18 years or older to run a miner, purchase premium, or receive settlements.
