SILORA GPU NFT mining guide

Start your GPU NFT creation journey with SILORA. Install the terminal, let your GPU perform verified work, and generate pixel artwork shaped by your own task. SILORA Mainnet and its explorer are live on Chain ID 73407.

MAINNET · 73407 ↗TERMINAL v0.29.8WINDOWS · x64POWERSHELL 5.1

Three steps to GPU creation.

The installer uses your Windows account. No administrator window is required.

1

Right-click Start and open Terminal

Right-click the Windows Start icon on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen. On Windows 10, select “Windows PowerShell”; on Windows 11, select “Terminal”. Paste the command from the next step into the window that opens.

The same command works from PowerShell 5.1 and 7 on Windows, without checking the version or switching first. If you cannot find the menu entry, press Win + S, search for “Windows PowerShell”, and open the version without “(x86)”. Administrator access is not required.

2

Copy, paste, and install

Paste the command into PowerShell and press Enter. SILORA downloads the release, verifies its integrity and publisher signature, then opens the terminal.

Windows PowerShell
powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command "irm https://get.silora.network/install.ps1 | iex"

Copying does not run the command. Run it yourself in PowerShell when you are ready.

3

Mine with your GPU. Create your artwork.

SILORA detects your local GPU automatically. Enter /gpu to inspect it, then /mine to start or resume your verified mining task. Once the work and registration are complete, use /nft to view your saved artwork. To reopen the app, enter silora in PowerShell.

Why is each artwork different?

Each task carries its own inputs. They shape the composition, materials, viewpoint, and pixel details of the final artwork.

01

Your device, your task

A software device ID, a task nonce, and a full 256-bit ArtDNA participate in generation together with actual GPU computation. The final pixel artwork is frozen when generated.

02

Pixel-level duplicate checking

The verification service recalculates SHA-256 from the complete submitted RGB pixels. An identical full pixel hash cannot be registered twice in the same service, even if the submitted claim is changed.

03

A new render, with confirmed work retained

If a duplicate is found, the original task receives a new artwork nonce and the GPU generates again. Confirmed shares, the task slot, frozen reward, and difficulty are retained.

Duplicate checking covers identical pixel content in this service, not every possible visual resemblance. The software device ID binds tasks and checkpoints; it is not a manufacturer-certified physical GPU identity. A local registration alone does not mean a mainnet NFT has been issued.

Ready for your hardware.

This release is for 64-bit Windows. Device and driver compatibility is checked locally after installation.

The app reads available GPU information and sensors. Unsupported or missing telemetry is shown as unavailable. Compatibility is not guaranteed for every GPU model.

A few commands. Full control.

Run silora in PowerShell to open the app. Run the slash commands below inside SILORA Terminal.

COMMANDACTION
/mineStart or resume verified computation
/mine-pausePause verified computation
/mine-statusView confirmed computation progress
/gpuInspect the GPU
/benchmarkBenchmark the local pixel-creation kernel
/nft / /viewView saved artwork
/lang zh / /lang enSwitch between Chinese and English
/helpView available commands

Prefer a text-only terminal? Enter silora -Cli in PowerShell. /start is the separate local pixel-creation workflow; use /mine for verified computation.

Keep moving forward.

The terminal checks for official updates, downloads and verifies a new release, then applies it after the app closes. Reopen SILORA to use it. If an update has not completed, pause computation, close the app, and run the official installation command.

Artwork, checkpoints, and preferences are kept in a separate user data directory. The installer updates the program files without replacing that directory.

What is available today.

Terminal v0.29.8 · Mainnet release

Local GPU computation, server verification, artwork registration, and pending reward records are available. Computation progress is based on accepted work and can be paused and resumed from saved checkpoints.

SILORA Mainnet (73407), its issuance contracts, and explorer are live. Local wallet opening is enabled: after verified computation and confirmed NFT issuance, the current holder can open the NFT in the terminal. The wallet is generated locally when opened. Once opening is confirmed on chain, the terminal attempts to claim credited rewards. Pending rewards are not spendable balances; payment must be confirmed on chain. User nodes remain unavailable.

The 12 gallery works are unissued GPU test samples. Mainnet genesis acceptance artwork #1 has been issued and opened, with on-chain records for its wallet and rewards. Genesis acceptance uses a separate short computation flow; ordinary mining tasks must still complete their own required work. Check artwork, opening, and transaction status in the mainnet explorer.

A little clarity, before you begin.

Do I need to check or upgrade PowerShell?

No. The complete official command works from Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7. It automatically uses the Windows PowerShell 5.1 included with Windows to install SILORA. Copy the whole line, including powershell.exe and the closing quotation mark. If an older command reports an unsupported version, copy the current command from the website.

What if silora is not recognized after installation?

Close the old PowerShell window and open a new one so it reads the updated PATH. Then try silora again. If it is still unavailable, run the official installation command again and check the installer result.

What if the desktop interface cannot start?

Check that Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime is installed. Download it from Microsoft’s official website. For a text-only interface, launch silora -Cli in Windows PowerShell.

Why is my GPU or power reading unavailable?

Install a current GPU driver that includes OpenCL, then refresh the device list in SILORA. GPU detection and sensor readings are separate capabilities: some devices can compute without exposing power telemetry. Missing readings are not replaced with estimates pretending to be measurements.

Does every GPU finish in three days?

No fixed completion time is promised. About 72 hours is an initial reference expectation for an RTX 3060 Laptop GPU. Actual duration depends on measured speed, temperature, power conditions, task difficulty, and the randomness of proof of work.

When can I open my NFT and view wallet recovery details?

After verified computation and confirmed mainnet issuance, the current holder can open the NFT in the terminal. The wallet is created on that computer at opening; its mnemonic and private key are encrypted locally and are not uploaded to the server. Once opening is confirmed on chain, you can view the address and local recovery details, and the terminal attempts to claim credited rewards. Pending rewards are not spendable balances; the actual payment must be confirmed on chain.
