My Telegram is 8 years old. Older than 92% of all accounts.
My Age pays solana:5s5GwwaLh8Xq6s3SQYPDyhLH8eL6AN6zkiLQx8zepump and the-open-network:native for old accounts. Check yours: https://t.co/klNMg0aduc
@NEARProtocol Optional layer: every payment carries the NEAR AI Cloud TEE signature of the model response that decided it.
The contract runs ecrecover, re-hashes the response and checks the model named exactly this payee, amount and invoice. 6.7 Tgas.
What would you try to get past it?
An AI agent pays your invoices. One says "bank details changed, pay this account."
Mandate: the agent's key can only ask a @NEARProtocol vault to pay. Rules are checked on-chain, and 3 bad payments get its key deleted.

The agent's key is a NEAR function-call key that can only call `spend`. Every refusal is written on-chain, so strikes can be counted. Third strike: DeleteKey, same tx.

1,024 binary variables is 2^1024 combinations, and a minerโs solution only has to be valid to enter the block lottery. That makes testnet the proving ground for the real goal: paying miners to solve client problems like portfolio optimization.
I already ran QUBO jobs on QMS testnet with QuboDesk, which encodes funding-rate portfolio problems as QUBO. Block 300,000 is the same kind of problem.

What if the computing power used to mine a block could also solve real-world problems?
This grid visualizes the solution recorded in block 300,000 on QMS Testnet.
Each of its 1,024 squares represents a yes-or-no choice in an optimization problem. Thatโs 2ยนโฐยฒโด possible combinations.
QMS miners run optimization solvers, and their solutions enter a lottery for the right to produce the next block.
For now, the problems are randomly generated for testing. The goal for the future is to use that same computing power to solve real-world problems that clients pay for.
@FarmboyFC@flop_labs@CryptoHayes yes, the purpose of devnet is to test and be prepared for the testnet :) don't buy anything or rent any GPU before testnet opens..if like me have gamer pc, try it.

After the unlock: session โ turn โ settle cooperative โ paid, within minutes.
My Windows PC mining guide now installs the fence guard automatically (v1.1.0, pinned + hash-checked) and adds ./flop-miner.sh fence:

My FLOP devnet miner (RTX 5080) got zero work for ~6 hours today.
Dashboard green, tunnel up, update done. Still nothing.
Root cause: the worker had fenced itself. Hereโs how to check yours and fix it safely ๐งต

Also today:
โ worker 0.1.323 is now in the official release list. Update.
โ re-running setup with the model already on disk fails at the model step. Harmless, the worker still verifies it.
โ watch your test-FLOP balance: sponsored fee budgets have no top-up yet.
Good, the calibration burst is the hard part, so youโre past it. Sitting idle at 130 GLOP/s is expected until sessions get routed to you. Leave it running, keep the logs, and check that the worker is still serving sessions after a few hours. If it stops taking sessions, send me the last 50 lines of the worker log
@MrSage@flop_labs@CryptoHayes Thanks for porting it, Sage. Seeing two idle GPUs settle sessions on Linux is exactly what the packaging was for. Next Iโd like to see a second operator run it cold from the README, thatโs the real test.
@anhvu193@flop_labs@CryptoHayes Haha, true. Run it on a schedule and check your power draw first. A card thatโs idle half the day costs much less than one at full load 24/7.
@Runtown_EMMA@flop_labs@CryptoHayes Good energy. Drop your GitHub or X in a reply and tell me what youโd build or run. The people who ship are the ones who end up in the group.
@FarmboyFC@flop_labs@CryptoHayes Yes, devnet is for proving the setup works end to end, so no rewards there. Testnet is where the reward mechanics get tested.
