You already own the card. Igneum gives it a job worth doing: mine the block, prove it, watch it lock. One click installs the node, the miner and the prover.
Twenty launch posts and threads, and the same three asks each time: hardware that keeps its value, income that does not fall off a cliff, a fair supply. The front page answers those three. Finality is on page two.
The hash is a new random program every hour over a dataset the chain draws from its own state. No scheduled fork, no release a team must ship. The chip model and its number are published with every era on /evidence. When you stop, the card still games.
How mining worksNo halving day. The schedule glides month by month, then holds a steady share of supply for ever. A block pays its miner whether or not anyone buys a proof that day. What each card mines, and what its electricity costs, comes as one table when the testnet schedule is cut.
What your card does hereNo premine. No fund, no foundation, no fee to any team. Nobody holds a coin before block one. The founders mine from genesis with disclosed addresses and the same software as everyone else. The launch weeks ramp up from a low start, so they are worth less to a private farm.
The economics, as publishedEvery block pays the card that found it and the cards that prove it. The protocol carves out nothing for a team, a foundation or a fund. No premine, no stake.
A desktop wallet that checks finality itself. Block rewards and proving payouts in one history.
The walletMeasured hash rates per card, with the watts, the date and the log entry behind each number.
The bench tableMining, proving, finality, the economics and the open questions, in one readable paper.
Read the litepaperDevnet. 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.
Read more about the miner. 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. Download only from this domain. Nobody from Igneum will ask for your seed. Questions: the Discord.
Download Ember, watch the devnet, and tell us what breaks. The people on the Discord run cards like yours.
Experimental software. No promise of earnings.
