## 5. The post
For r/CryptoCurrency or r/gpumining, after findings 1 to 3 are deployed and artefacts 4 and 5 are up. 397 words. No adjectives, numbers with commands, costs stated.
For r/CryptoCurrency or r/gpumining. Finalised 6 October 2026 against the pages deployed at 16:12 UTC (master e763604). No adjectives, numbers with commands, costs stated. Posted by nobody but Josh.
> **Igneum: a GPU-mined L1 where the miners are the provers. Devnet live. One person, no premine, every criticism logged.**
>
> I mined through the GPU years. The Merge in September 2022 ended that income and the miners' place in Ethereum. I am building the coin I wanted to exist: GPU-mined, the miners prove the blocks, no founder allocation. One person, AI systems doing the engineering.

> What runs today (devnet since 3 October 2026):
> - A random mining program every hour, compiled on the card. Hourly swaps measured on Apple, NVIDIA and AMD with 0 rejected blocks (bench log, 4 Oct).
> - A random mining program every hour, compiled on the card. Swaps measured on Apple, NVIDIA and AMD, 0 rejected blocks (bench log, 4 Oct).
> - Memory-hard: 128 dependent random reads per hash. An RTX 5090 does 136 MH/s at 17.5 G reads a second, 82% of its memory's random-read ceiling, integer units at 0.15%. Computing items instead of loading them runs 4.8x slower (M5 Max, 3 Oct).
> - GHOSTDAG ordering forked from rusty-kaspa, about 1 block a second.
> - EVM execution; every node runs it natively.
> - EVM execution, native on every node.
> - Shards proven with SP1 on miners' cards and paid from the block: 388 shards, 446.13 IGN on 5 Oct. A 3060 mines and proves at an 8.9 GB peak (rented cards, 6 Oct).
> - Finality by miner weight: 30 days of blocks per key, locks at two thirds, no stake, no slashing. No lock in the first 30 days of mainnet.

> Run the vectors yourself: `git clone https://github.com/igneum-network/spec && cd spec/igneum-pow && cargo test --release` (96 vectors per pack, three GPU vendors agreed on one fingerprint over 16.7 million nonces). The reproduction package for hash rates is at igneum.network/evidence; a result file from your card gets a row.

> Costs, stated: the miner software takes 1% (1 block in 100, off with `--dev-fee 0`). The protocol takes nothing. No cryptographer is hired yet; the review brief is USD 80,000 to 160,000, unfunded. The installer is unsigned. The chip-resistance claim is a target; the model is published, and the strongest chip in it beats a 5090 per joule. The page says so.

The numbers in the post and where each lives: hourly swaps (bench log "first hourly program swap", 4 October); 136 MH/s, 17.5 G reads, 82%, 0.15% (`counter-asic-3-status.md` section 6 draft (b), from `chip-model-v3.md` and the read-width entry); 4.8x (`proto-metal/MEMHARD.md`, bench log 3 October); 388 shards and 446.13 IGN (bench log 5 October, "the first shards proven, verified and paid"); the 3060 (`prover-tiers-real-cards.md`); 96 vectors and the fingerprint `25f96e7dce90bd4e` (`repro.md` 2.1 and 2.2); 1 in 100 (`site/miner.html:434`, 9 in 785 measured); USD 80,000 to 160,000 (`docs/plans/funding.md`, the cryptanalysis row); 167, 53, 7 (this page's count table). The sentence "beats a 5090 per joule" is true of the model's stored-dataset chip (5.1x on GDDR7) and must stay beside the hero sentence it replaces; if finding 3 is decided the other way, the post's sentence changes with it.

The chip sentence is draft (a) as deployed on the hero (5x to 9x per joule in the model; the latency-shadow lever measured at 2.1x on GDDR7 at a chip core equal to the GPU's, Counter ASIC 3.0 item 8). The ASIC entry's rental row cites the fleet's bench entry that lands tonight; the post does not quote that figure.
