Find a subnet for your hardware. Understand the requirements before you register.
01 / YOUR SETUP
Start with what you have.
No wallet connection required. These checks compare your inputs with published requirements; they do not benchmark your machine.
Your first step: learn Linux, coldkeys and hotkeys, then test the miner before paying to register. An EVM launch wallet is not a substitute for a Bittensor miner hotkey. Read the Bittensor mining guide ↗
02 / YOUR BUDGET
Know your running costs.
Use your own rental quote or electricity estimate. All amounts are USD. This is a 30-day cost scenario, not an earnings forecast.
Enter a valid hourly cost and budget to calculate. Hours must be between 0 and 24.
Formula: hourly cost × hours/day × 30 + other monthly costs. Excludes hardware purchase, registration or collateral, taxes and unlisted service costs. Budget does not establish subnet eligibility. Rewards may be zero.
03 / EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS
Your mining shortlist.
Three researched profiles to start. Other subnets are available in the network explorer.
Collect and store useful datasets for validators to assess.
Published requirements No GPU required. The miner guide calls for adequate storage and bandwidth, with Python 3.10 or later; numeric hardware minimums are not specified.
Test access to your data sources before registering. API access, data quality, storage and service costs can limit participation.
Network feed: Not available in the current snapshot. A matching subnet number is not proof that the operator or requirements are unchanged.
Before you register
Confirm the current subnet operator and read the linked requirements.
Learn wallet/key management and follow the maintainer setup guide in a test environment.
Verify successful outputs and scoring, not just that the process runs.
Check current registration costs, collateral and available entry conditions.
Keep funds for running costs; monitor performance and possible deregistration.
Contribute compute to scientific workloads such as molecular simulation.
Published requirements Published compute spec: CUDA GPU with 24 GB VRAM, 4 CPU cores at 2.5 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 50 GB SSD and Ubuntu 20.04. Download 100 Mbps / upload 20 Mbps.
A CUDA-compatible GPU is required.
Requires at least 24 GB GPU memory.
Also check CUDA capability, swap, storage performance and current task requirements. Meeting minimums does not establish competitive performance.
Network feed: Not available in the current snapshot. A matching subnet number is not proof that the operator or requirements are unchanged.

“Listed specs fit” checks only the numeric fields above. OS, CUDA support, bandwidth, storage type, workload performance and competitive scoring still need verification. Mining is separate from buying alpha or launching a token on TAOLaunch.
