FreeForGemVela (ffgv) 0.4.2
GPU miner for VELA (Proof-of-Inference, integer sd-turbo)
NVIDIA RTX 30 / 40 / 50 · Windows · HiveOS · Linux · dev fee 1%

0.4.2 (01.11.2026): engine +3.7%, auto-lock, safer stops. Clocks / offsets / power limit are put back on every kind of stop; watchdogs, primary-pool failback, temp limit, per-GPU values, API /summary /gpus /metrics. HiveOS / Linux packages run on glibc 2.31+ (the 0.4.0 Linux / HiveOS packages did not start on HiveOS).

What it does

• Every inference is computed bit-exact to the VELA node's consensus code; each share is re-checked before it is sent.
• Auto-undervolt that is safe on VELA: an undervolted GPU here does not crash first - it silently computes a wrong result and the pool rejects the share. ffgv tests every step byte for byte against known consensus results (56 canaries), keeps checking while mining and steps back on any mismatch.
• Ready modes --mode speed | balance | eco; hang watchdog; Xid self-recovery; pool failover; stratum over TLS; --suggest-diff; JSON API.
• HiveOS custom miner (miner name ffgv-hive), Windows start.bat (downloads and checks the model itself), Linux.

Speed and power (release 0.4.2, mining on AriaPool; the power limit is only a safety cap, the mode sets the clocks)

Code:

GPU (power limit)          mode            inf/s    W      inf/s/W
RTX 3070 (200 W cap)       balance + UV    36.02   122.3   0.295
RTX 3070 (200 W cap)       eco + UV        32.71   100.0   0.327
RTX 4070 Ti (235 W)        stock           72.82   234.1   0.311
RTX 4070 Ti (235 W)        speed + UV      75.09   234.2   0.321
RTX 4070 Ti (235 W)        balance         66.17   178.5   0.371
RTX 4070 Ti (235 W)        eco             54.01   141.1   0.383

Pools (tested, 0 rejected)

Code:

AriaPool   http://159.69.194.46:3349
suprnova   stratum+tcp://vela.suprnova.cc:7601   (vardiff)
           stratum+tcp://vela.suprnova.cc:7602   (fixed 2048, one GPU)
           stratum+tcp://vela.suprnova.cc:7603   (fixed 16384, rigs)
           stratum+ssl://vela.suprnova.cc:7604   (vardiff over TLS)
solo       http://RPCUSER:RPCPASS@127.0.0.1:19732 (your own VELA node)

Login on the pools: WALLET.WORKER, no registration. Several --pool = failover.

Quick start
HiveOS: Custom miner -> Installation URL https://github.com/pepsykolya/FreeForGemVela/releases/download/v0.4.2/ffgv-hive-0.4.2.tar.gz , miner name ffgv-hive, wallet %WAL%.%WORKER_NAME%, pool URL from the list above, extra config e.g. --mode balance --pl 200 (speed/balance lift a HiveOS memory lock by themselves).
Windows: unpack, right-click start.bat -> Edit -> WALLET / POOL / WORKER / MODE, run as administrator.
Linux: ./ffgv --pool stratum+ssl://vela.suprnova.cc:7604 --user vela1...YOUR_WALLET.rig1 --model sd-turbo-int.poisd --mode balance
