Question 1

How does ByteLeap Miner aggregate and manage multiple worker nodes?

Accepted Answer

ByteLeap Miner manages up to 100 worker nodes through WebSocket connections (1-to-N topology), handling worker lifecycle, resource monitoring, and task routing. Each worker reports CPU, memory, and availability metrics to the miner, which aggregates and reports this capacity to the Bittensor validator network for scoring and task allocation.

Question 2

What are the reward mechanisms for miners in this network?

Accepted Answer

Miners earn rewards primarily through lease revenue—active compute rentals assigned to their workers generate the core score. Additional rewards are modulated by an availability multiplier based on 169-hour online presence. Idle workers score zero on lease revenue but participate in network challenges; final scores are capped at 100 and summed across all managed workers.

Question 3

Can I run ByteLeap Miner on my existing hardware?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if your hardware meets the prerequisites (Python 3.8+, Bittensor wallet with registered hotkey, system resources to host the aggregation layer). The miner process itself is lightweight; the actual compute capacity comes from connected worker nodes, which are deployed separately.

Question 4

How does the miner communicate with the Bittensor network?

Accepted Answer

The miner uses encrypted communication via the Bittensor protocol to receive tasks and scoring feedback from validators. Worker nodes connect to the miner via WebSocket for local control and monitoring, while the miner reports aggregated metrics and challenge results back to Bittensor validators for reward calculation.

Question 5

What happens if a worker node goes offline?

Accepted Answer

Offline workers temporarily score zero on lease revenue and are not allocated new tasks. The miner tracks worker availability and reports this to validators; the availability multiplier adjusts scores based on 169-hour uptime presence, incentivizing consistent participation.
