Ok but what if equium is a place where anyone can launch a PoW token on Solana? It would be quite easy to design 1.) fork our program to allow deposit of any token 2.) DBC config leaves the mineable portion leftover to our admin wallet 3.) oracle to claim leftover and initialize mining. Will prioritize pools and ecosystem tooling within our own token first, but this could be a great way for mass adoption of PoW tokens. Could even make a mass pool that finds the hash rate of every EQM-Mineable token, compares with tradable price, and finds the most profitable token to mine at any given time. Endless possibilities. Normalize PoW

$EQM can be seen as an evolution of Solana tokens. Our network hash rate costs real hardware & electricity expense to operate. Therefore the token is backed by what users pay to mine it. Similar to bitcoin, the electrical and hardware expense is similar to market value.

Achieving ~ 400 H/s for $0.149 / hour via 3090 rental. Click the template. Rent the GPU. If renting using this template it will automatically have our cloud mining software on your machine. Just type ./cloud-mine.sh and start!

Now that some notable QoL updates have been dropped, I'll attempt to create a tutorial for mining with rented GPU's I'll be experimenting with though I'm sure with some research a better rate could be found. Stay tuned!

The return of hobbyist token mining. I remember back in the day (~13 years ago) going through bitcointalk forums with no money to buy crypto but I had a laptop. I would speculate which coins I could mine that would one day be worth something That was the original trenches.

It is cool to see difficulty re-targeting is working. Users rented large mining rigs in an attempt to break through difficulty and over-mine on low difficulty. They've since fallen off the network which lowers the difficulty for average hardware individuals.

A $EQM GPU mining client can be expected soon. GPUs provide a much better hash rate than CPUs. This will be shipped and iterated on live as I do not have the GPUs to test on a wide variety. Your feedback on this will be much appreciated.

for those who do not understand what he means Mining pools work by combining the CPU power of many miners together and splitting rewards proportionally. The problem they solve: Solo mining EQM is like buying one lottery ticket per round. You might win big, or go days without a reward - it's inconsistent. A miner with a slow CPU could run for weeks and earn nothing even if they're doing valid work. How a pool changes that: Instead of each miner submitting solutions independently to the blockchain, they all connect to a pool server. The pool coordinates the work - giving each miner a slightly easier target to hit - and when anyone in the pool wins a block, the 25 EQM reward gets split among all contributors based on how much work they each did. Example: - 100 miners each contribute 1% of the pool's total hashrate - Pool wins a block → each miner gets ~0.25 EQM - Instead of waiting days for a solo win, everyone earns small consistent amounts every hour What it means for the roadmap: Building a pool requires: 1. A pool server - coordinates work distribution, tracks each miner's contributions, and handles payouts 2. A stratum protocol - the communication standard between miners and the pool server 3. Changes to the CLI miner - it would need a --pool flag to point at the pool server instead of submitting directly to Solana The tradeoff: Pools charge a small fee (typically 1–2%) in exchange for smooth, predictable earnings. Solo miners keep 100% of rewards but face variance - long dry spells broken by occasional full 25 EQM wins. For casual miners on modest hardware, pools make the difference between earning something and earning nothing. Makes sense as a post-launch priority.

We are anticipating the launch of our token $EQM ~ 19:00 UTC 11 May 2026. First 30 minutes will be higher tax linearly dropping to ensure snipers don't ruin entry for others. We will initialize via Meteora DBC with 18.9m supply withheld post-bond.

Nice to see proof of work meta on ETH. $EQM is Proof of Work, for solana. Solana makes more sense, as I look into the eth project, I'm currently seeing a bidding war for miners to submit TXs due to eth gas fees. Either way, tradition of mining your tokens is returning.
