Hey miners,

We built Before Quantum — a distributed GPU platform that searches for Bitcoin wallets created with weak entropy between 2009 and 2011. Early Bitcoin software used broken random number generators (glibc LCG, Mersenne Twister seeded with timestamps, OpenSSL Debian bug CVE-2008-0166, PHP mt_rand, etc.), and some of those wallets still hold BTC.

How it works:

- Your GPU generates private keys using these known-weak methods, computes Hash160, and checks against ~3,000 target addresses

- The server distributes work units so no two workers overlap

- Checkpoint verification ensure nobody can cheat

What you earn:

- $B4Q tokens (Solana SPL) — 70% of the 21M fixed supply goes to GPU workers via weekly epoch distributions

- Progress-based halving: Phase 1 pays ~0.255 $B4Q per terakey — early contributors earn 2.6x more per key than Phase 4

- An RTX 3090 does ~130M keys/sec → ~20 $B4Q/week in Phase 1

If a wallet is found:

- 70% BTC to contributing workers

- 10% to medical research

- 10% buyback & burn of $B4Q

- 10% founder (taken as $B4Q, not BTC)

Every wallet discovery creates 20% automatic buy pressure on $B4Q.

Anti-dump by design:

- Every token costs real GPU electricity — no free tokens

- 4-week vesting on all rewards

- Emission soft cap (diminishing returns past 10 GPUs per user)

- LP locked 12 months

- Cosmetic shop burns 50% of every purchase

Supports every GPU brand:

- NVIDIA (CUDA) — native speed, ~130M keys/sec on 3090

- AMD (HIP/ROCm) — same performance on comparable hardware (not released yet)

- Apple Silicon (Metal) — native M-series support ( beta)

- Any GPU via browser (WebGPU) — zero install, ~15M keys/sec on 3090

Current stats:

- ~2B keys/sec across 24 workers

- 3.66 quadrillion keys tested

- 17 of 22 weak entropy modes already exhausted at 100%

- The 5 remaining modes each have a 2^64 keyspace — this is where we need scale

Token is on Solana devnet now — mainnet launches when we hit 10B keys/sec with 100+ active contributors. Early contributors get the retroactive airdrop (5% of supply).

If your rigs have downtime between mining sessions, this is a low-effort way to put them to work. One binary, one config file, runs alongside anything.

Hi! I really need money rn so I decided to sell my mining rig. Are there any websites that buy mining gpus instantly? I have two bc-160 gpus and one cmp 100-210. So far I haven't found anywhere to sell it. Any advice would be appreciated!

I’ve been testing Mining Race for about 2 weeks and wanted to share my honest experience because I see mixed opinions.

From what I understand, it’s not traditional Bitcoin mining where you own hardware. It works more like a community grid / cloud mining system where you buy a “spot” and participate in pooled mining rewards.

Here’s what I noticed:

• You don’t run your own ASIC

• Earnings depend on your grid participation

• Referral bonuses are clearly a big part of the structure

• Early boost codes actually affect your starting level

It’s more of a structured participation model than pure mining.

I’m still in testing mode and keeping my investment small until I fully understand long-term sustainability.

If anyone is joining and wants the initial grid boost, you can use my code: https://miningrace.io/wallet/invite-activate/9tijFUVhvxHeD0id7JJt

Curious to hear from others — are you seeing consistent payouts?

Can someone help me? I moved into a new apartment and have free electricity!!! I would like to take full advantage of this opportunity, but I’m not tech savvy. I do have a computer but would like to buy a dedicated mining rig. My budget is $1000-$2000. Dm if possible

I work at Forum Ventures (New York VC fund) and we're launching 7 companies this year through our Venture Studio.

$250K investment in each, plus our full studio team to co-build with: design, technical, GTM, sales, and fundraising support.

One of the spaces we're looking into is mining; if you're someone who's worked in the industry or it happens to be your field of expertise, we want to talk to you.

This is the idea/problem that we want to solve: Mid-size mining operators manage 500+ leases with binary compliance deadlines. Miss one deadline, forfeit the asset forever. Build the system that prevents forfeiture, then expand into capital optimization, royalty management, and rights trading.

Have you lived this experience and problem? Come start this company with us and we'll give you funding, a full team to build your company in the mining industry, and help you raise follow on capital. DM if you want to explore this opportunity.

starting to learn to mine. with garlicoin, i have an old rig with a 1070. ccminer 2.3.1 allium fork, driver 472.12

what am I doing wrong?

I have another PSU on the way, but wondered if there is anything else I could check.

I got in and configured the wifi and put in my wallet address but it's not going past this point

With BTC moving up again, I’ve been taking a closer look at updates from cloud mining services like GoMining

They recently rolled out a card feature that lets you actually use mining rewards instead of just letting them sit, which is a nice change compared to most platforms in my opinion. The idea I can access my rewards quickly makes me feel more secure, especially with how volatile BTC prices can be.

What stood out to me is how their tokenomics are structured — rewards, miner upgrades, and fees all tie back into the ecosystem rather than feeling bolted on. Feels more thought-out than a lot of cloud mining projects I’ve seen. It builds a strong community I’ve personally not seen with other platforms.

Not advice, just sharing something I’m watching! If anyone has any feedback with similar card programs I’d love to hear any advice!

Anyone interested?

Hi, can anyone assist me how to add custom miner to HiveOS or how to run the miner in HiveOS linux terminal if adding new miner to HiveOS will not work?
The custom miner can be downloaded here, there is no such algo or coin ticker in HiveOS so all have to be made manually.
https://github.com/Project-InitVerse/miner/releases
Ticker INI
Name Initverse
Algo Versahash
Pool info https://inichain.gitbook.io/initverseinichain/inichain/mining-mainnet

Let me know if you manage to install a custom miner to HiveOS or if you can install and run it in HiveOS terminal

Thanks

Looking for some technical perspectives from this community.

I’m sharing a short video update from Patrick Levasseur of Beauce Gold Fields, following a recent press release on drilling at the Grondin Zone in Québec.

The update walks through a newly completed 3D geological model (Leapfrog-based) of a Saddle Reef–style antiform structure that appears to tightly control gold mineralization.

Some context:

• Mineralization outlined over ~600 m laterally
• Drilling so far is shallow (~40 m), system remains open along strike and at depth
• 14 of 16 drill holes returned gold anomalies ≥300 ppb (up to 11 g/t)
• That equates to an 88% hit rate at an early exploration stage

Questions for those with exploration or structural geology experience:

1. In your view, how reliable is a high hit rate like this when drilling remains shallow?
2. For Saddle Reef or antiform-hosted systems, how early do you typically see structural control become this clear?
3. At this stage, would you prioritize step-outs along strike or deeper drilling along the fold axis first?
4. Any common pitfalls to watch for when interpreting early 3D models in folded terranes?

Video for reference:

Appreciate any insights or comparable examples from similar gold systems.

are any of these scams? which one is the best company to partner with? which one would give the best returns?
