Hello Bitcointalk,
I'm introducing
SILORA, a project I am building around GPU computation and pixel artwork.
The idea is to give a completed computation a visible result: a finely detailed artwork with its own form, composition and creation record. The Windows app lets participants choose an eligible GPU, run a task and follow accepted progress. After completing the task and claiming the NFT, its holder can keep it sealed, transfer it or open it to create a local wallet and claim the assigned SILORA reward.
SILORA combines a GPU client, pixel NFTs, its own EVM-compatible network and an artwork-oriented block explorer.01 / What you can use today- A GPU workspace: detect local cards, select compatible devices, and manage several GPUs in one app with separate task controls.
- Real computation: start or pause tasks, retain confirmed progress, and follow speed, estimated time remaining and available device readings.
- Pixel artwork: inspect the completed image, name it before claiming, and view the issued NFT and its record.
- Sealed and opened NFTs: keep an eligible work sealed, transfer it, or use its one-time opening entitlement.
- A wallet after opening: view an address and balance, receive or send SILORA, and review the estimated network fee before a transfer.
- A public explorer: inspect artwork records, blocks, transactions and confirmed reward payments.

View the explorerThe three gallery samples in our GitHub are unissued GPU test artworks. The terminal image is a historical v0.29.5 view of Genesis #1, a separate acceptance work; its displayed balance is historical. New installations show the user's own devices, tasks and assets.02 / From a GPU task to an NFT- Choose a device. The app checks the GPU and driver, then displays task information.
- Run the computation. Progress advances as completed work is accepted. It does not have to increase every second. You can pause and resume confirmed progress.
- Claim your work. Once eligible, inspect and name the image, submit the claim, and wait for its network confirmation.
- Collect, transfer or open. An unopened NFT carries its opening entitlement to its next holder. Opening creates a wallet locally and starts the reward-claim process.
After opening, the artwork remains available to view and transfer. The resulting wallet stays with the person who opened it; transferring an opened NFT does not transfer that wallet or its funds. Wallet recovery material is generated and encrypted on the local device. Keep it private when sharing screenshots or asking for support.
03 / GPUs, duration and energyThe current client is for
64-bit Windows. Compatibility depends on the actual GPU and driver; use the app's device check and the
GPU guide. The RTX 3060 Laptop GPU has a real-device computation record. Other NVIDIA, AMD and Intel models should be checked individually; we do not yet have a fully tested model-by-model list.
The initial timing reference is approximately
72 hours on an RTX 3060 Laptop GPU. Actual duration depends on task difficulty, measured speed, temperatures, power settings and interruptions. Later tasks can require more work.
One artwork per eligible GPU is the participation rule. Several eligible cards can participate separately. Current consumer-GPU identification relies on software and verification checks, so it is not a manufacturer-backed proof of a globally unique physical card. Energy figures are estimates based on available GPU readings, not whole-computer electricity-meter measurements.
04 / SILORA rewards- Artwork program: capped at 21,000,000 opportunities.
- Native coin: a separate genesis supply of 21,000,000 SILORA, allocated to the computation reward reserve.
- Task terms: difficulty and the full reward are set when a task is allocated. Later allocations carry declining rewards; completing ahead of another participant does not change your allocated reward.
- Payment: rewards are released from the existing reserve. A progress or pending-reward figure becomes a received balance only after the required completion, opening and payment steps are confirmed.
An earlier NFT's 100 SILORA reward does not mean every new NFT receives 100 SILORA. Check the terms shown for your task. Sending SILORA incurs a network fee, which the wallet estimates before confirmation.
Read the supply and reward rules05 / Current network and development stageThe public network is in a
single-validator bootstrap phase. Computation verification, issuance coordination and network administration currently rely on project-operated infrastructure. Independent-node fault tolerance has not yet been established.
Genesis acceptance artwork #1 completed issuance, opening and reward payment using separate acceptance conditions. Ordinary full-duration mining, sustained multi-GPU operation and interruption recovery remain in validation.
User-operated nodes, the marketplace and instant swaps are
not open yet. Their availability will be announced when released. The public GitHub repository contains product information, user guides and screenshots; client and chain source code are not published there.
06 / Install and get startedOpen
the official installation page. On Windows, right-click Start and open Windows PowerShell, or open Terminal and select the Windows PowerShell profile. Run:
irm https://get.silora.network/install.ps1 | iex
After installation, choose a compatible GPU and start its task. To reopen the app later, enter:
07 / Feedback and project linksI welcome questions and practical feedback about installation, GPU compatibility, task progress and the artwork experience. For a reproducible issue, include your app version, GPU model, driver version and steps in
GitHub Issues.
