[ANN] KERYX | Live AI Inference | 100% Fee Burn | GPU PoW BlockDAG | 10 BPS

With latest keryx-labs miner on windows downloading models is very slow and when downloading that 2200mb file whole miner closes/exits when approx. 1800mb of the file is downloaded.

I've released a new version of the miner:

https://github.com/ocminer/keryx-miner-supr/releases/tag/v.0.5.3

works on all pools, optimized also for AMD and most bugs should be ironed out.

I was using your miner.. just updated to 0.5.3 still same

I am getting "OPoI challenge in progress - PoW paused, stand by" and mining does not start. Sometimes mines for a while and then this message again. Also having "stratum message payload is empty". Using baikalmine pool.

What is causing this?

edit: tested suprnova.cc and it works.

If anyone has problems running miner for AMD in Win, you can try - mc_miner_krx: https://github.com/xbin0r/mc-miner-krx/releases/tag/v0.39

Proof-of-Model (PoM)

Keryx was built for a single purpose: decentralized, uncensored AI inference. This means the network's value relies entirely on miners actually hosting the AI models. Until now, this was based on a "cooperative" model—relying on good faith. But good faith isn't security. Any pool or modified miner could simply strip the models away, collect rewards, and contribute absolutely nothing to the network's core mission.

PoM fixes this natively at the protocol level.

How it works: With PoM, the model is the proof-of-work. Mining becomes a memory-hard process that reads thousands of random chunks directly from the model weights stored in your GPU's VRAM. No weights in VRAM = no valid proof = no valid block. It is completely deterministic.

What it brings to the table:

- Pool-proof & Fork-proof: You cannot fake model possession or route around the system. Hold the model, or you don't mine.

- ASIC-resistant by design: The work is strictly bound to memory (weights) rather than raw compute power.

- Bigger model = bigger reward: Block rewards scale dynamically based on the model tier you prove you are hosting. This incentivizes miners to run heavier, more capable models instead of the lightest ones.

Honest scope:

PoM guarantees possession—proving that a miner genuinely holds a specific open model in VRAM. It does not yet verify that every inference output is correct; that is a separate layer currently under development. We'd rather ship a rock-solid guarantee today than overpromise.

The result: a network where mining and AI capability become one and the same. The hashrate is the model.

Holder-Reward — Keryx rewards those who hold the network

"Intelligence is the message. Those who carry it deserve to be rewarded."

We're rolling out a new economic mechanism: the Holder-Reward. The idea is simple — the more $KRX you hold, the more of your mining reward you keep.

The principle

On every block, the miner's share is scaled by a single ratio:

your $KRX balance  ÷  your production over the last 24h

In other words: how many days of your own mining output you're holding. The more you keep, the higher your rate climbs — up to 100 %. Whatever you don't hold is burned :fire:.

The brackets

HOLD (days of your output)   →   YOU KEEP
──────────────────────────────────────────
< 1 day                      →    40 %
≥ 1 day                      →    52 %
≥ 3 days                     →    64 %
≥ 1 week                     →    76 %
≥ 15 days                    →    88 %
≥ 1 month                    →   100 %

"1 day of output" = what your GPU mines in 24h. The bar scales automatically with your hashrate.

Why it's fair

The ratio is relative to YOUR production: a solo miner and a large farm follow exactly the same rule ("hold N days of your output"). No edge for the big players. Want the full rate? Hold ~1 month of what you mine.

What's in it for you

- No lock, no staking, non-custodial. Your coins stay 100 % yours, spendable anytime. The network just reads the balance of your payout address.
- Zero extra steps. No transaction, no signature — auto-binding happens on your payout address.
- Deflationary. The unkept delta is burned → $KRX scarcity rewards those who hold.

When

Activation: Friday, June 26, 2026, 18:00 UTC (DAA 37,780,000), as part of the upcoming hardfork.

Hold the network. The network holds you.
