Orbital Core — an unissued GPU test artwork showing SILORA's visual style.

Hello Bitcointalk,

I'm the creator of SILORA, a free-to-download Windows app that turns a completed GPU task into a pixel artwork you can inspect, name and claim as an NFT on SILORA Mainnet.

The experience brings your devices, progress, artwork and wallet into one workspace. Use one compatible GPU or manage several. After claiming your NFT, choose whether to keep it sealed, transfer it or open it to create a wallet locally and claim its assigned SILORA reward.


Right-click the Windows Start icon and open Terminal or PowerShell. Paste the command below and press Enter. It works from Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7 by opening the required Windows environment automatically. Administrator access is not required:

Code:
powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command "irm https://get.silora.network/install.ps1 | iex"

After installation, choose a compatible GPU and start its task. To reopen the app, enter silora. If the command is not recognized immediately, close PowerShell, open it again and retry.



01 / Your GPUs. One workspace.

The terminal detects local GPUs automatically. Select the cards you want to use and follow each device's task, accepted progress, computing speed and estimated time remaining. Compatible cards can run separate tasks in one app; you do not need a separate terminal window for every GPU.

Pause an individual card when you need it for other work, then resume its confirmed progress. Computing stops when the computer sleeps or shuts down. Temperature and power readings depend on what the device reports; energy consumption is an estimate, not an electricity-meter measurement.

The participation rule is one artwork per eligible GPU.

Historical Terminal v0.29.5: Genesis #1 was a separate acceptance test, not ordinary full-duration mining. The balance is historical. New installations do not receive the pictured NFT or funds.

02 / From your first task to your collection

  • Choose and compute. Select an eligible GPU, review its task and start computing. Progress reflects accepted work and may update in intervals.
  • Inspect and claim. Complete the task, open the original image and choose a name before submitting the NFT claim. Its on-chain number appears after confirmation.
  • Collect or transfer. Keep the NFT sealed or transfer it to another SILORA user through the app's receiving-code flow. The new holder can open an unopened NFT.
  • Open and use your wallet. Opening creates an independent wallet on your computer and begins the reward-claim process. View its address, actual balance and private recovery details in the app.

Each NFT can be opened once. Before opening, no wallet address or recovery phrase has been created for it. Opening preserves the artwork. If you later transfer an opened NFT, its original wallet and funds remain with the person who opened it.

The wallet supports receiving and sending SILORA on SILORA Mainnet. It shows an estimated network fee before you confirm a transfer. Back up your recovery details privately and keep them out of screenshots and support messages.

03 / Check your GPU before starting

The current client requires Windows x64, an appropriate GPU driver and a successful in-app preflight check. The driver must provide the required OpenCL C 1.2 or later capabilities. NVIDIA, AMD and Intel devices are checked individually; compatibility depends on the specific model and driver.

The initial timing reference is approximately 72 hours on an RTX 3060 Laptop GPU. Actual duration varies with task difficulty, measured performance, device conditions and interruptions. Follow the estimate for your task; this is not a fixed completion time for every card. Read the GPU guide.

04 / Artwork, supply and rewards

There are two separate figures:

  • 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.

The full reward and difficulty are fixed when your task is allocated. Later allocations carry declining rewards, so not every NFT earns 100 SILORA. Finishing before another participant does not change your allocated reward.

Rewards are released from the existing reserve. Accumulated or pending rewards become a received wallet balance only after the necessary completion, NFT claim, opening and payment confirmation. Check the actual wallet balance and payment record to confirm receipt.

Downloading the app is free. GPU computation consumes electricity, and sending SILORA incurs a network fee.

05 / A public record you can inspect

Use the explorer to look up claimed artwork, blocks, transfers and confirmed reward payments. An artwork's record and a wallet's balance can be checked separately.

SILORA Mainnet explorer, captured October 17, 2026. The figures shown are historical; open the explorer for current records.

06 / Current release and project stage

Terminal v0.30.0 is available, including improvements to GPU identification and task recovery after restarting. To update an existing installation, pause mining, close all SILORA windows, then enter silora in PowerShell and wait for the update. Keep your existing application data; uninstalling is not required.

SILORA Mainnet is live and SILORA is its native asset. It is an early, single-validator network with project-operated verification and issuance services. Client and chain source code are not public; GitHub contains product information and guides. User-operated nodes, a marketplace and instant swaps are not open yet.

Questions or first-hand feedback?

Reply with your GPU model, app version and what happened. Practical feedback on installation, task controls and the artwork experience helps us improve the product.

Do you have discord server link?

Thanks for asking! SILORA just launched today, and we haven't set up an official Discord community yet.

Once you complete the mining process and create your own NFT artwork, you'll have a little Easter egg of your own to discover.

Hi taras588, thanks for checking the explorer and asking.

The 21 million SILORA transaction funded the network's reward reserve when mainnet was set up. SILORA's supply was created at genesis, and that transaction deposited it into the on-chain reward vault, which pays participants as they complete the required computation and reward-claim process.

You can inspect the receiving contract here:
https://explorer.silora.network/silora/mainnet/explorer/#/address/0x66E8b45F1C2688708CeD00499363798Fbf3b14B5

Here is how mining works in the current app:

1. Install the Windows app and select a compatible GPU. The app checks the device and shows its task requirements and assigned reward.
2. Run the GPU task. Progress advances as completed work is verified and accepted. You can pause and resume with confirmed progress preserved.
3. Once the task is complete and verified, you can claim its pixel-art NFT on SILORA Mainnet.
4. You can keep the NFT sealed or open it. Opening generates a wallet locally on your computer, and the app then attempts to claim the NFT's available SILORA reward from the reserve. The payment becomes your wallet balance once confirmed on-chain.

The participation rule is one artwork per eligible graphics card; multiple eligible GPUs can participate separately. The completion reward is fixed when your task is allocated. Later new tasks receive gradually smaller rewards, so every NFT does not receive a fixed 100 SILORA.

GPU computation earns the artwork and its assigned share of the existing reserve. Block production is handled separately by the network's validator. The current network is still in its early, single-validator stage, with project-operated computation verification.

I hope this makes the transaction and the mining process clearer. Happy to answer any specific questions about the workflow.

A computer with dual GPUs, with the reward number for P104 being 13 and for 6600XT being 14. After shutting down and restarting, the reward number for P104 (13) can continue normally, but the 6600XT has restarted and the reward number has changed from 14 to 25. How can we continue to calculate the reward number 14?

Hi slzzlyw3811, thanks for reporting this and for including both GPU models. Sorry you ran into this after restarting.

Each GPU is intended to resume its own saved task after a restart, so the RX 6600 XT changing from number 14 to 25 needs checking. The number change alone does not tell us whether the original progress is still recoverable.

For now, please keep your current SILORA installation and local data intact. Please do not reinstall, delete the application data, or manually change task numbers. You can pause the affected RX 6600 XT task while we check this.

Could you share:
1. Your SILORA app version and AMD driver version.
2. A screenshot of the GPU dashboard showing the current task numbers and progress for both cards, plus any error message.
3. Whether SILORA or the graphics driver updated around that restart, and whether you reopened the same installation under the same Windows account.

Please hide personal information in screenshots and do not share any seed phrase, private key, or wallet backup.

We need to check the original task record before confirming whether number 14 can be resumed. These details will help us identify the right recovery steps.

Hi slzzlyw3811, an update on your report: we identified and fixed a GPU identification/resume issue in the terminal. The fix is now available in SILORA v0.30.0.

Please follow these steps:

1. Pause mining and close all SILORA windows.
2. Using your usual Windows account, open PowerShell, enter silora, and press Enter. Let the automatic update finish and confirm that the terminal shows v0.30.0.
3. Select your AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT and open Mine.
4. If both Task 14 and Task 25 appear, click Restore task next to Task 14, then click Resume mining. If the original task is restored automatically, you can simply resume it.

When we checked, Task 14 still had 660 of 4,320 accepted shares recorded — about 15.28%. Please keep your existing application data; there is no need to uninstall or reinstall.

Please let us know whether Task 14 resumes after updating. If recovery cannot complete, send a screenshot of the message so we can check the remaining issue.

Thank you for reporting this, and sorry for the interruption.

The task has returned to normal.
