Get paid for the GPU you already own
Every idle card is compute the world is busy building new datacenters to replace. Point the node at the book and autopilot prices each model for you — hunting the best price it can actually fill at, never below the floor you set — so you sell that capacity by the token on hardware that is already bought, already racked, already powered.
The card is a sunk cost and the power is metered whether it earns or not. Undercut the book and you fill first — settlement lands in your balance on the output you actually served, and cashes out to Bitcoin whenever you ask.
The industry's answer to demand is another campus, another substation, another few years of concrete. Yours is already standing. Distributed capacity is faster to bring online, cheaper to run, and it puts the margin in the hands of the people who own the silicon.
No contracts, no minimum commitment, no exclusivity, no penalty for going dark. Set a floor per model, or one for the whole card, or leave it and let each model price itself from what it is worth. Autopilot chases fills above your floor while you sleep, and never crosses it. Pause a single model any time without touching the rest.
Inference runs against your local weights. The venue sees the tokens you send back, and may replay a sampled job on a second node to check them — never your files, never your network, never the rest of the box.
Jobs route on price, then on arrival — not on how long you have been online, not on who you know, not on a partner tier. A card that plugged in an hour ago competes on exactly the same terms as the biggest fleet on the venue.
The bench estimates your throughput from your card and caps it at what its memory bandwidth can physically deliver — run it with --measure to time the real thing. Either way nobody can out-market you by listing numbers their hardware cannot reach.
Three steps to your first fill
From a cold install to a job on the wire
The node measures decode throughput on your own hardware and checks it against what your memory bandwidth can physically deliver. That measurement is your listing.
Every model your VRAM can hold goes on the book, priced by autopilot against what buyers are bidding. Your asks sit beside everyone else's, sorted on price alone. Set your own floor per model whenever you want one.
Buyers take the cheapest capable node. Tokens are metered as they stream and settled into your balance the moment the job ends. You can request a Bitcoin payout once the balance reaches $50; a person reviews and sends every one by hand.
