Sibling of `ledger-decisions.md`. Each is a consequence of a measured number that needs the project lead: money, a public claim, or a consensus parameter outside tonight's delegation. The row number points at `consequences-2026-10-05.md`. Recommendation first, then the options.
## The ten in one glance (what the project lead does, in the order they bite)
| # | By when | One line | What the project lead does |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | 16:00 UTC, 6 October | The fee switch at H = 210,000 (about 19:50 UTC) darkens every 0.3.10 prover; 0.3.11 must be on every prover first, else H moves | Nothing if the morning check passes; the coordinator holds it. Know it exists |
| D9 | this week | No 12 GB card exists here; every 12 GB number is scaled from the 5090 | Confirm whether the 3060 and 5060 Ti 16 GB that evidence.md says are on order are real; if not, buy one 12 GB card (about £250 to £400) |
| D2 | before the next site push | The litepaper's "12 GB proves" is false on this build; three drafts of the replacement exist (proving-v1 440fd59, ca2-coord 1c8439f, proving-methods.md section 5) | Pick one; the proving-methods paragraph is recommended |
| D8 | the same push | "The card mines and proves" and "a visible 1% software fee" are solo-NVIDIA sentences now | Approve the qualified wording |
| D3, D7 | the same push | "Any 4 GB card", "4 GB about four years, 8 GB more than a decade", "4B hard cap" against the lifetime table and the 3.96 billion ever minted | Approve the re-cut sentences |
| D4 | gate 1 (before the testnet genesis) | Dataset growth mapping: (b) power-of-two steps (years 4, 12, 28, 60) keeps the public sentences true; (a) fades cards one year at a time | Choose; (b) recommended with the step calendar published |
| D5 | before the next site push | The chip claim: mixer x8 measured at 0.92x with the 3x factor, "under 2x" holds with margin on the stated convention | Confirm the claim stays, with the convention named |
| D6 | Counter ASIC 3.0 | AMD mines at a seventh of a 5090 and 4.9x the electricity per hash; no read width closes it | Accept for v3; the miners page says so |
| D10 | after route A's rows and D9's card | Proving route: route A (re-sized SP1 server) now; RISC Zero as a second proof family (Apple, and the fallback) is a consensus and verifier change | Measure both; adopt a second family only on your say |
| # | Row | What needs deciding | Recommendation | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | C1 | The fee switch lands at H = 210,000 about 19:50Z on 6 October, and the 0.3.10 node's export does not carry the switch, so every app prover's shards are refused or vetoed from H. Move H, or race 0.3.11 onto every prover first | If 0.3.11 (with the proving-v1 fork, whose export carries `daaScore` and `feesV1ActivationDaa`) is not on every prover by 16:00Z on 6 October, republish the override with H = tip + 86,400 rounded to the next thousand, re-read the digest on a scratch node, every node in one sweep (the fee-switch plan's own rule for a later H). The coordinator holds the devnet delegation; this note is so the morning does not find proving dark | A dark proving pool on the devnet costs nothing on chain (the escrow keeps it) but every coverage, latency and fleet number measured after H is void |
