2-hour verification — presets are earned, not just found

In plain words: finding a nice point is easy — keeping it for two hours under load is much harder. That is why presets are not accepted right away.

How it works

  1. Why verify after the search

    A point showing the best hashrate in one measurement does not mean "works" — the card may drop in 40 minutes or on the fifth hour. So the bot runs the best points under real load for two hours straight.

  2. What verification looks like

    Visible in Telegram: /status shows "verifying candidate … 1h 12m of 2h". Cards are verified one by one; the bot never idles. Until confirmed, the preset is not considered final.

  3. If the card drops during verification

    The point is marked as a boundary (in the database: "do not try above") — nothing is lost. The card gets a new attempt with headroom; if points keep failing, the verification gets longer for that card.

  4. The preset works — and the bot?

    After verification the bot keeps watching: temperatures, degradation, hashrate. Watching is a permanent part of the job, not a one-off search.

Why this beats "set and forget"

An unstable preset puts the rig into a chain of reboots and manual digging. The bot's rule: an accepted preset works and keeps working. A beginner cannot reach this reliability by hand.

FAQ

Results only after 2 hours?

Verification of several cards runs in parallel; a healthy card finishes sooner. No participation required.

Can verification be disabled?

No: it is protection, not an extra step. To reach efficiency sooner — /mode efficiency, but even there presets are saved only after verification.

Is verification lost on a rig reboot?

No: events are written to the database and the bot returns to verification; updates and reboots do not poison the data.
