Frequently asked questions

Straight answers for people running a node.

Is this crypto or mining?

No. No tokens, no coins, no blockchain, no mining. You earn real money for verified AI inference work.

Can anyone see my files?

No. Jobs are questions-in, answers-out inside a sandbox that's destroyed when the job finishes. Your dashboard is only reachable from your own computer, and your machine's details are encrypted before they ever leave it.

What actually runs on my machine?

Only public / synthetic workloads on open-weight models. Regulated or sensitive data is refused automatically โ€” a hard, network-wide rule.

How much will I earn?

It depends on your hardware tier and how much verified work you complete. Earnings on consumer hardware are modest but real. The dashboard shows your true net after electricity โ€” never an inflated number.

Do I need to be online all the time?

No. If your node goes offline it keeps running local jobs, and re-syncs automatically when the connection returns.

What if my machine gets too hot?

The node watches temperature and pauses work if it crosses a safe threshold, resuming once it cools. You can also stop everything instantly โ€” the Hard Stop control always wins.

Can I stop any time?

Yes โ€” instantly, with no penalty. It's your machine.

The dashboard shows an error โ€” what do I do?

Open the Troubleshooting page. It translates every state into plain language and tells you the one thing to do next.
