Guide for Claiming Proof-of-Machine Rewards.

Rewards System

GRIDBOX offers two types of rewards:

1. Direct Payments When your machine is rented, you receive payment directly from the renter.

2. Proof of Machine Rewards Inspired by Proof of Work, this system rewards machines simply for being listed. Every Monday, eligible machines receive bonus rewards from the BLOCX project.

• Eligibility Criteria:

• Machine must be listed for at least 7 days

• Once eligible, the Rewards section unlocks and weekly bonuses begin

Rewards Logic & Formula

Rewards payout logic

• 80% of the reward pool goes to GPUs.

• 20% goes to CPUs.

• Within each pool, rewards are distributed proportionally based on each machine’s effective score.

Process we follow to make sure rewards are fair and balanced:

1. We start by calculating the HPI (Hashpower Index) for every machine.

   • Each GPU and CPU gets a performance score based on its hardware specs.

   • This gives us a baseline measure of how powerful each device really is.

2. We then factor in uptime over a 7-day period.

   • A machine that’s online and contributing consistently all week scores higher.

   • If a machine is only active part-time, its effective score is reduced.

3. We compare each machine’s score against the rest of the network.

   • This shows us what percentage of the total computing power each contributor is providing.

General Hashrate with Hardware Specs

For GPUs

• CUDA cores / Stream processors

• Core clock speed (GHz)

• Memory bandwidth (GB/s)

• VRAM size (GB)

• TDP (power draw)

Hashpower Index (HPI) Formula (GPU):

For CPUs

• Number of cores and threads

• Base and boost clock speed (GHz)

• Cache size (L3 especially)

• Instruction set support (e.g., AVX2, AVX-512)

Hashpower Index (HPI) Formula (CPU):

When visiting GRIDBOX and adding a machine, you must first wait 7 days to unlock rewards section. This ensures that rewards are given only to those who truly contribute to the GRIDBOX and BLOCX. ecosystem.

After 7 days, the rewards screen becomes available. You’ll be able to claim machine rewards every Monday from that point forward.
