Put your computer to work.
Own a piece of the mind.
Join the network with the hardware you already own. Help train, secure, or serve a decentralised AI, and earn QBC for the work you can prove you did. The more people who join, the faster and larger it gets, and nobody owns the model but the people running it.
The network, right now
LiveLive from the chain RPC and the on-chain reward pool. Training rewards are real and paying today. Full permissionless one-command join is being finalised (the warp-join fix is the top network task), so validator onboarding is operator-assisted for now.
What do you want your machine to do?
Train the model, earn from the pool
Live, paying nowYour GPU trains an improvement into the model the network actually serves. The node detects your card, pulls the current training task, and submits a Dilithium-signed update. Honest, held-out evaluation decides whether a round is accepted, so only genuine improvement is rewarded, and a regressing round is rolled back and pays nothing.
Get started
# Build the node (one time)
git clone https://github.com/QuantumAI-Blockchain/qubitcoin-node.git
cd qubitcoin-node/substrate-node
cargo build --release --bin qbc-node
# Then follow the training-worker setup in the guide: it generates your
# reward key, detects your GPU, and starts submitting signed updates.Step-by-step worker setup, including key generation and the coordinator address, is in the join guide. Rewards accrue to your key and are claimable on chain.
What you need
- A computer that stays on. Linux x86_64 (Ubuntu 22.04) is the smoothest; macOS and Windows via WSL2 or Docker also work.
- To train or serve: an NVIDIA GPU. A common 12GB card (RTX 3060, 3080 Ti, 4070) is enough. To only secure the chain, a CPU works.
- A wallet. Rewards accrue to your key. Generate one in the browser wallet or the CLI, and keep it safe: it is how you get paid.
- One open TCP port (default 30333) helps peering. Everything runs behind NAT, just with fewer peers.
Mining is permissionless: anyone with the binary and a registered Dilithium5 key can propose blocks. See the whitepaper for the Proof-of-SUSY-Alignment consensus model, and the serving design for the decentralised model.
