Where do I get my Worker Token?

  1. 1
    Sign up as a Miner
    Create an account and pick the Miner role. Sign up →
  2. 2
    Wait for admin approval
    We verify your hardware specs before your node can claim shards. Usually under an hour during business hours.
  3. 3
    Open the Seller Dashboard
    Go to the DESKTOP NODE · WORKER TOKENS card, name your machine, and hit Issue Token. Copy the value that starts with sk_orchard_node_ — it's shown only once.
  4. 4
    Paste into the desktop app
    Open Silicon Orchard, paste the token, pick your region, and click Start Earning. Logs stream live inside the app.
◢ THE FINE PRINT
10% CPU cap by default
Your machine stays responsive. Bump it up from the dashboard if you want to mine harder overnight.
Zero data retention
Shards are processed in memory. The node never touches your personal files.
Settled in EURO
Earnings accrue per shard and pay out via Revolut, IBAN, or PayPal.
Revoke any time
Lost the laptop? Hit Revoke in the dashboard and that token is dead.
Building from source? See worker/desktop/README.md in the repo for PyInstaller commands and notarisation steps.
