I Ran GPUs for Networks That Never Paid. So We Built One That Does.

Before Paralon I was a provider. I kept machines online for years in well-funded compute networks whose testnets never ended and never paid. This is what that taught me, the one rule we built Paralon on, and why our points come on top of payouts, not instead of them.

How to Mine Quantus (QTC) on a Rented GPU: Pool Setup, Real RTX 4090 Hashrate, and What It Costs

Quantus, a post-quantum proof-of-work chain, launched its mainnet on 9 September 2026 and is mineable on ordinary NVIDIA GPUs from day one. We rented an RTX 4090 on Paralon, pointed the pool's CUDA miner at quanpool, and measured 1.17 GH/s. Here is the complete setup, the pool parameters, the fees, the network numbers, and the math you should do before renting a second card.

Every Inference Request Pays the GPU That Ran It

Inference on ParalonCloud is now paid, and it settles one request at a time: the moment a response completes, 80% of what it cost lands in the earnings of whoever owns the GPU that served it. No monthly statement, no batch. Here is how a request turns into money, why the cards we want most are the RTX 5090 and the RTX PRO 6000, and what changes if you call the API.

Two Ways Your GPU Earns Here

Connect a graphics card to ParalonCloud and it earns on two independent tracks: real USDC whenever someone rents it, and Season 0 points for every minute it stays online, whether anyone rents it or not. Here is how the split works, what each card is worth per hour, and why the cards we want most are the ones with the most VRAM.

Where Does Your Inference Actually Run?

Ask any AI provider which machine processed your prompt and which jurisdiction it sat in, and you will not get an answer. A decentralized network is the only architecture that could answer it — so we went looking at what ours can actually prove today. The honest version: less than we would like, and more than anyone else offers.

A URL That Lives as Long as the Rental

Providers run GPUs on home connections behind NAT — no static IP, no port forwarding, no inbound anything. Renters still get an HTTPS address that works the moment the container starts and stops existing when the session ends. How we build and destroy one per rental, and the three constraints that shaped the design.

The Faster Card Was Half the Speed

Two RTX 4090s on our network, same container, same model, same arguments. One runs Windows with WSL2 and benchmarks better on every hardware axis we measure. It serves inference 48% slower — three times the penalty the published figures report. Here is the measurement, what we ruled out, and why we think large quantized models are the worst case for GPU virtualisation.

We Measured It All Along and Never Used It

Every node has reported its connection speed since January. We published a 100 Mbps requirement in June. Nothing connected the two, so in August five of the nodes we were offering to renters were below it, one at 15 Mbps. What we found, why a single speed test can't be the gate, and why we kept those nodes on the network anyway.
