Install. Start. The card mines.
One click installs the node, the miner and the prover, and makes your wallet. Every card mines: NVIDIA, AMD and Apple silicon. A 24 GB NVIDIA card proves as well.
The miner built around your card.
Your rate, your watts, what it costs a day at your price, and the chain drawn live with your own blocks ringed. Every card is one row. Ember Tune finds each card’s best hashes per watt and keeps it there.
The window on the right is the shipped app, photographed on a real rig. Nothing on this page is a mock-up.
Get the miner.
Download only from this domain. Nobody from Igneum will ask for your seed. Every file is the one the app’s signed manifest names, with its version and size.
Ember for Windows
the installer, from the signed manifest
Run the installer, press Start. NVIDIA and AMD cards both mine. Setting an NVIDIA power cap asks for administrator rights once.

a disk image, Apple silicon, Metal
Open the disk image, drag the app across, press Start. A Mac mines on its GPU at about a fifth of a flagship card and proves on its CPU, slowly.

Check your card.
Any 4 GB card mines at launch. A 24 GB NVIDIA card proves the full shard as well; a 32 GB card mines and proves at once. What your card does here has the measured rates.
Install the official build.
Only from this domain. The app makes your wallet address on first start and shows you its seed phrase once. Keep it to yourself. This site never asks for it.
Press Start, then tell us.
Watch your blocks ring on the chain. Let Ember Tune pick each card’s point. When something breaks, say so on the Discord or by email.
Your card: pending
Devnet. Coins have no value and the chain may be reset.
Public testnet: not yet open; the devnet build is here for people who want to look. The public testnet is weeks away: three seed nodes and the public RPC are up, and it opens when the go checklist closes.
The protocol carries no fee. The one payment to the project is the Ember software’s optional 1% dev fee, like other GPU miners, off with one flag: the fee, in full view.
Testnet coin for testing: the faucet sends 10 IGN per address per day. Any 4 GB card at launch. The dataset starts at 2 GB and grows on a schedule fixed at the testnet genesis (2 GB, doubling at years 4, 12 and 28), so a 4 GB card mines about four years and an 8 GB card about twelve, approximate.
What your card does here.
Measured rates from the bench table, and how often each card finds a block at the network’s hash rate right now. One block a second is the target, so the wait is the network’s rate over yours.
| Card | Measured | Watts | A block about every | Measured on |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NVIDIA RTX 5090 | 127.7 MH/s | 227 W | pending | 6 Oct 2026, Ember run 6, the three-card Windows rig |
| NVIDIA RTX 4070 | 28.8 MH/s | 76 W | pending | 6 Oct 2026, Ember run 6, the three-card Windows rig |
| Apple M5 Max | 26.7 MH/s | not logged | pending | 4 Oct 2026, Metal, the first hourly swap |
| AMD RX 9070 XT | 17.8 MH/s | not logged | pending | 5 Oct 2026, OpenCL, on the eGPU |
| NVIDIA RTX 4090 | not yet measured | send yours: the app uploads its rows | ||
| AMD RX 7900 XTX | not yet measured | send yours: the app uploads its rows |
Graphics cards only. A new mining program every hour, so no chip is built for it. 80% of every block to the card that finds it, 20% to the cards that prove it. No premine, no stake, no fee to any team. Every number above has a row in the bench table.
Your card against the strongest chip we can price: an RTX 5090 at 136 MH/s on 350 W (measured 6 October 2026), the chip 5x to 9x per joule in the public model today, 2.1x to 3.9x under class v4 (modelled on measured watts), and under class v5 wrong on every item because the dataset is the chain’s own state (designed); the model and the measurements are public.
Seven rungs. Every one is a fact on the chain.
The app lights a rung the moment the chain does. Every threshold is read from the node, never a constant: the devnet reads 5 blocks to a vote and 2 of 2 hours of presence; mainnet reads 100 blocks and 8 of 8.
| Rung | What lights it | The line in the app | Devnet | Mainnet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · First block | Your key finds a block | “Block 1,284,117 is yours.” | 1 block | 1 block |
| 2 · Your key has a vote | Your blocks in the 30-day window pass the dust line | “61 of 100 blocks to a vote.” | 5 blocks | 100 blocks |
| 3 · Your signature is in a checkpoint | Your key signs a checkpoint that locks | “Your signature is in checkpoint 184,220.” | 1 lock | 1 lock |
| 4 · Full window | Blocks on every day of the weight window | “30 of 30 days. Full weight.” | 2 of 2 hours | 30 of 30 days |
| 5 · Rank by weight | Your key’s place in the table, by blue blocks over the window | “Rank 41 of 1,204 keys.” | by weight | by weight |
| 6 · Signing streak | Every presence point signed, no gap over the presence window | “Signing 8 of 80 points, 41 days unbroken.” | 2 of 2 | 8 of 8 |
| 7 · Your card proved a shard | A paid shard record carries your prover key | “Your card proved shard 3 of block 1,284,117.” | 1 shard | 1 shard |
Weight, never hashrate: a card that arrived today sits at the bottom of the table and climbs one day at a time. The live table shows every key by weight.
One client. Three jobs.
- 01 · The card hashesA new random program every hour, compiled on your machine. 80% of each block to the card that finds it.
- 02 · The same card provesThe client switches to the shards the chain assigns to its keys, posts the proof, and goes back to hashing.
- 03 · One address, in IGNBlock rewards and proving payouts land on the address the app made for you. The wallet shows them.
The fee, in full view.
The protocol carries no fee: no dev fund, no fee to any team, foundation or fund. The software fee is the miner app’s, like every other GPU miner’s, and one flag turns it off.
The Ember software takes a visible, switchable 1% dev fee, the norm for GPU miners. One block template in 100 is requested with the dev payout address instead of yours. The fee goes to Igneum Labs LTD, the company that ships the software.
| Where | Off with |
|---|---|
| The app, Earnings | the Dev fee switch under the money rows |
| The command line | --dev-fee 0 |
| HiveOS, extra config | DEV_FEE=0 |
Measured on a test network, 4 Oct 2026: 9 fee blocks in the 785 blocks of two fee-paying miners (1.146%); the control miner at --dev-fee 0 paid none; the miners’ counters and both nodes agree. The log.
The network itself takes nothing. This is the app’s fee, the same way every mining app takes one. This switch turns it off.
dev fee 1% (1 block in 100) to 0x<address>; --dev-fee 0 turns it off
Four pages. Every card is one row.
Your rate, what it costs a day, and the chain drawn live with your own blocks ringed. Every page of the app, light and dark.
The questions worth asking.
Does this website use my GPU to mine?
No. The pictures on the home page are drawn, not mined. Mining happens only in the app you install, and only when you press Start.
Does my card mine and prove?
Every card mines. Proving the full shard needs a 24 GB NVIDIA card; a 32 GB card does both at once. Apple silicon proves on the CPU, slowly. The Prove page of the app says in one sentence what your card can do.
Is the devnet paying real money?
No. Devnet coins have no value and the chain may reset. The app’s pounds row reads 0.00 on devnet and says why. The public testnet opens when the go checklist closes; mainnet comes after the testnet passes its gate.
Is there a fee?
Not in the protocol: no dev fund, no fee to any team. The app takes an optional 1% software fee, the norm for GPU miners, and one flag turns it off. The fee, in full view.
Can I run it on a rig or in a pool?
The Linux and HiveOS tarball is above, with the flight sheet. Pools are part of the public testnet; until then every machine mines solo on its own keys, and a card runs several.
Where do the numbers on this page come from?
Every rate has a row in the bench table and an entry in the engineering log with the command and the hardware. Nothing here is estimated earnings.
