The honest bear-market case rests on cost. A miner's card is already running and the power is often domestic, so Igneum miners' marginal cost in the proving market is close to power, which is an edge over data-centre provers and nothing more.

The dataset starts at 2 GB and grows on a schedule fixed at genesis; the proposed schedule, decided at gate 1, doubles it at years 4, 12 and 28 (the average of half a gigabyte a year), so a 4 GB card mines for about four years and an 8 GB card for about twelve, approximate. NVIDIA and AMD both work, because the mining program is generated for the architecture both share and the proof system is hash-based. Apple's chips are GPUs with unified memory, so Macs mine too, at about a fifth of a flagship card: Measured, 26.7 against 123 million hashes a second, an Apple M5 Max beside an RTX 5090 on the live devnet, 4 October 2026. A Mac is a poor miner per dollar. There is no CPU mining lane, on purpose, because CPU mining is what botnets farm. Nodes, wallets and exchanges need no GPU at all.

What a miner's hour looks like

The card hashes the lottery continuously. When the client sees a shard or an external job it can win, it switches the card to proving for a few seconds, posts the proof, and goes back to hashing. The client does the switching and the miner sees one balance.

The protocol carries no fee: no dev fund, no cut to any team. Ember, the miner software, takes an optional 1% dev fee, the way other GPU miners do. One block template in 100 is requested with the dev address instead of yours, by a counter, not a random draw, so it is exactly 1 in 100 and anyone can check it from the source or from the chain. One flag turns it off (--dev-fee 0, a switch in the app, a line in the HiveOS config). The miner prints the fee and the address when it starts. Any other client is welcome.
