igneum-labs 5987908477 Community kit for r/igneum, the Reddit profile, Discord and the stats bot (6 October 2026)
docs/community/reddit/: settings.md (name, title, description, type, content options, topics, flair set, post requirements), automoderator.yaml (price and sale talk removed, referral links removed, flair required, accounts under 2 days queued, the bot's comments removed), rules.md (eight rules under Reddit's limits), sidebar.md (four widgets and the welcome message, five dated facts from the bench log), wiki/ (index, faq with twenty sourced answers, mining with the eleven-card table, proving tiers and pay, ledger process, glossary), posts/ (start-here, the launch post adapted, the weekly numbers template on /api/stats, /api/live and /api/supply fields, the AMA plan with fifteen questions), bot.md, outreach.md, outreach-week-1.md (the 30-day account rule), profile.md, discord.md, assets/ (Reddit avatar and banner, Discord icon and two banners, rendered from site/icon-512.png and the site's palette and fonts, no slogan).

tools/community/reddit-bot.mjs: the labelled stats bot (OAuth script app, credentials in ~/.config/igneum/reddit, dry-run mode, forbidden-string guard, no comment endpoint). Dry run against the live API at 17:34 UTC rendered; the guard refused a known-bad text and passed a clean one.

Subreddit rules in outreach.md are from memory and marked approximate: reddit.com refused every fetch route (WebFetch, the browser pane, curl 403). Every other number names its file or API field.

r/igneum: the rules (Mod Tools > Rules and removal reasons)

6 October 2026. Eight rules. Reddit allows 15, with a title of 100 characters and a description of 500; every description below is under 500. "Applies to" is Reddit's field (posts, comments, or both). The removal reason shown to the author is the description, so each one says what to do instead.

Rule 1 (title 61 characters)

Title:

No price, listing or trading talk. Nothing is for sale.

Applies to: posts and comments

Description (473 characters):

Devnet coins have no value and the chain may be reset (igneum.network/litepaper, "Live on the devnet"). The project arranges, promises and seeks no listing (Roadmap, phase 6). There is no sale, no presale and no airdrop, so anyone offering IGN for money is offering nothing: report them. Posts about price, market cap, exchanges, pumps or "when listing" are removed. Economics as a design question (emission, the 80/20 split, the burn, the ramp) is welcome with its source.

Rule 2 (title 36 characters)

Title:

Every number comes with its evidence

Applies to: posts and comments

Description (490 characters):

A hash rate, a watt figure, a proof time, a count of anything: link the bench-log entry (igneum.network/bench, the engineering log), the ledger id, the /api/stats or /api/live field, or paste the command you ran and its output. A screenshot alone is not a source. The project holds itself to the same rule: every number on the site names its entry, and a figure from memory is marked "approximate". A post with bare numbers gets one reminder from AutoModerator, then is removed after a day.

Rule 3 (title 58 characters)

Title:

Criticism is welcome and goes on the ledger with your name

Applies to: posts and comments

Description (495 characters):

Every serious criticism the project knows of is at igneum.network/ledger (167 entries on 6 October 2026, dated, never deleted; where the critic was right it says Conceded). Post yours with the Ledger flair, in your own words. The project account replies with the ledger id and its status, or files a new row with credit to your Reddit name if you want it. A reply with no id and no date for one is a failure on our side: say so. Being wrong is fine; wrong entries stay on the ledger too, marked.

Rule 4 (title 27 characters)

Title:

No shilling of other coins

Applies to: posts and comments

Description (415 characters):

Comparisons are welcome and the project makes them itself (litepaper, "Precedents" and "vs RandomX"). The test is the same one the project uses: a claim about another chain cites its repository and file, or is marked approximate. "Join my coin", "the real alternative is", invite links to other projects' Telegram or Discord, and "better project" posts without that evidence are removed. Repeated shilling is a ban.

Rule 5 (title 30 characters)

Title:

No referral or affiliate links

Applies to: posts and comments

Description (373 characters):

No referral codes, affiliate parameters, invite links or shortened links (bit.ly and the like hide them). Post the plain address. This includes GPU rental, hosting, hardware shops, exchanges and pools. The project has no referral programme of any kind and the miner software's only payment to the project is the 1% dev fee stated on igneum.network/miner, off with one flag.

Rule 6 (title 56 characters)

Title:

Mining posts name the card, driver, OS and miner version

Applies to: posts

Description (478 characters):

A mining post or a bench result says: the card model and memory (RTX 3060 12 GB), the driver version, the OS (Windows 11, Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 26, HiveOS), the Igneum Miner or Ember version from the app's About tile or the archive name, the MH/s as the app or the STATUS line reports it, and the watts if you have a reading. The project's own bench table (igneum.network/miners) carries those columns for a reason: a rate without them cannot be reproduced and cannot be compared.

Rule 7 (title 56 characters)

Title:

No doxxing, and no hunting for the founder's identity

Applies to: posts and comments

Description (479 characters):

The founder is pseudonymous by decision, and the legal entity that ships the software is on the litepaper ("Who are you?": Igneum Labs LTD, Dubai International Financial Centre). Hunting for a person's name, address or employer, posting registry lookups, or doxxing any member is a permanent ban and a report to Reddit. Asking what the pseudonymity means for trust is a fair question with a ledger row; the answer is in the measurements, the public spec and the paid reviews.

Rule 8 (title 72 characters)

Title:

One account per person. The project posts from one account, plus one bot.

Applies to: posts and comments

Description (492 characters):

One person, one account. Voting or replying from a second account is a ban under Reddit's rules and ours. The project speaks from u/igneum_network only. The weekly numbers and devnet incidents are posted by u/igneum_bot, flaired Bot, which never replies to anyone; if it ever comments, report it. Nobody else speaks for Igneum here: no "team member" DMs, no "official" giveaway, no support account. Nobody from Igneum will ever ask for your seed or your key. Treat any such message as a scam.

Removal reasons (Mod Tools > Removal reasons)

One per rule, same text as the description. Add two more that are not rules:

Title: Posted before reading the start-here thread Text (195 characters):

Removed for now: the pinned "Start here" post answers this (what runs, what is not done, how to help). Read it and post again with what it does not cover; that is the post we want.

Title: Reposted link Text (139 characters):

Removed: this link was posted in the last day. Add your result or question to the existing thread so the discussion stays in one place.
