LEND YOUR MACHINE. STAY UNSEEN.

JOIN

The network has no data center — it is machines like yours, answering strangers and getting paid for it. One command and yours is one of them.

$ npx n0where-worker

// 01 — FOUR STEPS, THEN SILENCE

never touched a terminal? start here

The worker runs on Node.js — install it once and forget it. Go to nodejs.org, download the LTS installer and click through it like any other app. Then open a terminal — on Mac: press ⌘ + space, type terminal, hit enter. On Windows: open PowerShell from the start menu. Paste this to check it worked:

$ node --version

If it prints a version number (v20 or higher), you're ready. Every command on this page is pasted into that same window.

install ollama

The worker runs open models through Ollama — also a normal click-through installer. Once it's in, pull at least one model:

$ ollama pull llama3.2

start the worker

One command — no account, no sign-up, no download page. It finds your models and joins the network on its own.

$ npx n0where-worker

drop a wallet

On first run it asks for a wallet address (0x…, Robinhood Chain) so your earnings have somewhere to go. Skip it and set it later:

$ npx n0where-worker --wallet 0x…

leave it running

That's all. Jobs arrive when someone, somewhere, asks something. Your machine answers quietly in the background — stop it anytime with ctrl-c, come back whenever you want.

// 02 — WHAT YOUR MACHINE ACTUALLY DOES

it receives text

A job is a prompt and nothing else. No name, no address, no identity — you will never know who asked, and they will never know you answered.

it answers

Your GPU runs the model and streams tokens back through the relay. Nothing is written to disk — when the job ends, the prompt is gone.

it forgets

The worker keeps one thing: an anonymous identity token in ~/.n0where, so the network can pay you — and ban bad actors without asking anyone's name.

// 03 — WHAT YOU EARN

70%

of every job

Each paid message your machine answers, you keep 70% of the value. Earnings accrue automatically and are paid out in USDG to your wallet — on Robinhood Chain.

80%

when you stake

Staking $VOID bumps your cut to 80%. The machines that carry the network earn the most from it.

// 04 — QUESTIONS NOBODY ASKED YET

what hardware?

Anything that runs Ollama. A MacBook serves small models fine; a real GPU serves bigger models and gets more jobs. More models = more work.

what does it cost me?

Electricity, and only while answering. The worker is idle silence until a job arrives. No lock-in, no minimum uptime, no punishment for leaving.

is it safe?

The worker only talks to Ollama on your own machine and streams text out. It runs no foreign code, opens no ports, and touches nothing else.
