Install the node
One binary that sits beside the inference server you already run. It does not replace Ollama or vLLM; it sells access to it.
Select your operating system to see the install steps.
What the node actually does
It holds an outbound connection to the venue, advertises the asks in your config, and waits. When your ask is the cheapest eligible one, it receives a job, forwards it to your local backend, and streams tokens back. It never accepts inbound connections and never exposes your inference server to the internet.
Pulling your card back
Ctrl-C drains: the client stops accepting new jobs and finishes what is in flight, usually within seconds, then exits. Press it a second time to force an immediate stop. There is no penalty for draining, and none for a schedule that only sells overnight. There is a penalty for dropping a job mid-stream, because a buyer paid for it — so drain rather than kill.
What you will earn
Revenue is your fill rate times your ask times tokens served, minus the venue fee. The honest version: a single consumer card serving a mid-size model earns real but modest money, and it is worth doing because the hardware and the electricity are largely sunk. Anyone promising otherwise is selling something.
Current asks and fill positions are on the supply page, and the fee schedule is under pricing.
The client runs today from the repo — register, benchmark, serve, and fill real jobs against a live venue, and Windows has a prebuilt bundle you can download. The hosted curl | sh installer, the Homebrew tap and the container image are packaging still to come.
