I believe Pearl should seriously consider excluding rental compute providers like Vast.ai from mining rewards.
A network should reward the miners who invest their own capital, hardware, electricity, and infrastructure to support it.
Allowing operators to rent GPUs with virtually no long-term commitment creates an arbitrage opportunity for people with no real skin in the game.
Protect the independent miners who believe in Pearl, invest in its future, and help secure the network.
Reward commitment, not rented capacity.

I have noticed this on the Miner releases. Curious no?
矿主们都来看下，主流挖矿软件集中更新！
近期三款主流挖矿软件 onezerominer、SRBMiner-Multi、wildrig-ng 均发布了新版本。
本次更新有一个非常明显的共同方向：显卡显存频率优化、功耗调节、效率提升，以及新算法和新硬件支持。
下面分别总结一下值得关注的更新内容。
1. onezerominer v1.8.5
分算法效率可提升 20%～50%。
RTX 20/30/40/50 系列新增 405MHz 显存锁定实验性支持。
目前仅支持 Linux。
下载：github.com/OneZeroMiner/o…
2. SRBMiner-Multi v3.8.4
效率自动调优器进一步改进。
实验性调优功能新增 Windows 支持。
NVIDIA 显卡新增 405MHz 显存锁定。
支持针对不同 GPU 单独设置功耗损耗参数。
下载：github.com/doktor83/SRBMi…
3. wildrig-ng v1.0.0u
新增 NVIDIA GB10 的 PearlHash 算法支持。
GPU 电压偏移范围扩大至 -250～0mV。
修复重启后电压偏移失效的问题。
优化矿机运行状态显示，新增有效、拒绝、忽略份额占比。
下载：github.com/andru-kun/wild…
🔥 比特猎人总结：
这轮更新有三个明显方向：
1️⃣ 显存降频：降低不必要的显存功耗，提升部分算法能效比。
2️⃣ 自动调优：减少手动超频测试成本，让显卡更容易找到最佳运行参数。
3️⃣ 算法扩展：PearlHash 开始支持更多硬件平台。
⚠️ 注意：部分功能仍处于实验阶段，不同显卡的实际收益可能存在差异，建议先单卡测试再批量升级。

Are the midterm results the straw to break the back? Bubble popping?
BREAKING: A mystery seller is trying to dump about $500 million in data center loans all at once, per Bloomberg, days after the midterms raised doubts about many projects.
The anonymous seller is auctioning a dozen loans, including a $25 million piece of financing for a huge Stargate site in New Mexico, the joint project of OpenAI, SoftBank and Oracle.
Oracle has already sent that site’s developer a force majeure notice, a legal claim that events beyond its control may excuse it from its obligations.

This will happen quickly imo.
Since this post: the FP8 upgrade's proof code is now on its branch.
On Nov 3 and 4 @prlnet merged three pull requests into fp8-scheme, the branch that carries the upgrade: a cap on how much work a verifier can be asked to do, a smaller verifier circuit (2^18 to 2^17 gates, per its author), and simpler tile selection.
It is the first change to that branch since Oct 5. Three steps remain before a fork: the branch merged into the main code, a pearl-2:native mainnet block height, and a release.

Well that bag is dead.... Always sell is the answer.
Later today, we are officially ending all remaining support for the Iron Fish network.
A few days ago, we observed abnormal activity involving wIRON and the ChainPort bridge. After working with ChainPort and reviewing their logs, we discovered that the cause was an inflation bug in the Iron Fish blockchain itself.
We traced the bug to a commit from early 2019 in the Merkle tree implementation. The developer at the time implemented a standard Merkle tree. However, because of nuances in how a note’s nullifier is calculated (the mechanism that lets a normal user spend their funds), the attacker was able to spend the same note more than once.
The attacker then compounded the exploit, aggregated their notes, and exited through the ChainPort bridge. This code path was within the scope of both our external and internal audits, but the bug wasn’t caught during review.
For closure, we’ve committed the patch for the exploit, with a detailed postmortem included in the PR, before shutting down and archiving the ironfish repo.
The meta-analysis here is that software that can’t be upgraded immediately (most of crypto), is in an extremely precarious position. The ability to find and exploit vulnerabilities in technically complex code is becoming commoditized. Safety guardrails on US frontier models make it difficult for companies to use them to patch security vulnerabilities, while abliterated open-source models are approaching frontier capabilities.
We wish everyone all the best, and we hope crypto finds a path through this.
Thank you all.
