This is what a real builder community looks like.
@dis_404 didn’t just point at a hole: he shipped public infrastructure: a free, read-only verifier that checks a circuit against its onchain reference over every input, not the 256 public vectors PoD samples.
350 / 8,848 decided miners failing full equivalence (~17.6% of decided hashpower) is a protocol signal, not a witch hunt. As he said: mismatch ≠ intent. Could be a buggy generator. Could be vector-fitting. The data just shows the current scoring surface rewards “pass 256, delete the rest.”
PoD’s next job is clear: keep first-creator premium, close the trim-to-vectors path. should sit next to the official dashboard — 15-min snapshots, block age in the header, anyone can reproduce.
Builders audit. Protocol iterates. Community watches freshness. That’s how TapeOut stays a design protocol, not a test-vector farm.
