Test candidate. ProductionV3 Testnet-1 is a private, low-difficulty test
network. It is not RCNet and not mainnet, and its coins have no value.
No complete ProductionV3 block has been mined and verified end to end yet —
that is exactly what this prerelease asks testers to do.

Which download do I need?

I want to... Download
Run a node commonfoundry-node-v0.1.0-devnet.15-<platform>
Send and receive CMFD commonfoundry-wallet-v0.1.0-devnet.15-<platform>
Mine commonfoundry-miner-v0.1.0-devnet.15-<platform> (fetches the model bank itself on first run)

Nodes and wallets are self-contained: they ship the platform proof worker and
the ceremony-authenticated Record V2, and need no GPU and no model bank.

Miners: set your address and start

Extract the miner package, open its launcher (START-MINER.bat on Windows,
start-miner.sh on Linux), and set PAYOUT_ADDRESS to your wallet's
64-character receive address. Then run it. The first run downloads the
6.4 GB model bank automatically as four verified parts, checks every
SHA-256, assembles MODEL-V2.bank, and starts mining; later runs start
immediately. Point LOCAL_PEER at your own node or wallet if you run one;
otherwise the public bootstrap issues your work.

The bank ships as four split assets only because GitHub caps a release
asset at 2 GiB. For offline preparation, the .part files and
REASSEMBLE-MODEL-BANK scripts remain downloadable and produce the same
verified MODEL-V2.bank in the miner's production-v3 folder.

Network

ProductionV3 Testnet-1 uses RPC 21443 and P2P 21444. These are deliberately
different from Devnet-14's ports, and the chain data lives in a separate
directory, so the two networks cannot be mixed.

Verifying your download

SHA256SUMS.txt covers every asset, and BUILDINFO.json records the exact
source commit and tree the binaries were built from.

Common Foundry v0.1.0-devnet.15 — ProductionV3 Devnet RC1

Devnet-15 is the first tester build that selects the intended ProductionV3
proof path rather than the tiny ForgeMatrix-v2 reference profile. It is a new
test network and is not chain-compatible with Devnet-14.

Consensus and proof path

  • Selects the production geometry: batch 128, dimension 4096, and 384 layers.
  • Requires a succinct ProductionV3 proof before a block can be accepted,
    replayed, or adopted from a side branch.
  • Binds the final activation table, model identity, block statement, and work
    digest into the proof transcript.
  • Uses the fixed-width compressed WHIR transport and rejects proofs above the
    network proof-size limit.
  • Verifies proofs in a persistent, hash-pinned worker process. A worker crash,
    timeout, identity mismatch, or malformed proof fails closed.
  • Loads the ceremony-authenticated Record V2 at nodes and wallets. The full
    model bank and manifest are miner-only inputs.

Mining

  • The standalone miner uses the real ProductionV3 model bank and proof
    generator; it does not use the Devnet-14 reference proof.
  • CUDA packages target Volta and NVIDIA 20-, 30-, 40-, and 50-series GPUs and
    enumerate all supported GPUs in a rig.
  • One immutable node template is retained while its long proof is generated,
    then the exact completed block is submitted to the issuing node.
  • The miner reports per-GPU rate, power, efficiency, temperature, fan, clocks,
    VRAM, accepted blocks, stale jobs, and proof activity.

Node and wallet packaging

  • Nodes and wallets ship with the platform proof worker and authenticated
    Record V2. They do not need a GPU or the 6.4 GB model bank to synchronize,
    send, receive, or verify blocks.
  • On first run the miner launcher downloads the model bank's four split
    release assets, verifies every SHA-256, and assembles the bank beside the
    miner automatically; standalone reassembly scripts remain available for
    offline preparation. The split exists because no single release asset may
    exceed GitHub's upload limit.
  • The wallet keeps its peer editor, automatic bootstrap peer, public-testnet
    opt-in, local-only RPC, and two-decimal CMFD display.
  • ProductionV3 uses a separate data directory and network identity, preventing
    accidental reuse of the Devnet-14 chain.

Operational notes for Windows testers

  • Stop a node with Ctrl+C in its console window so the verifier sandbox can
    clean up after itself.
  • ProductionV3 refuses to reuse verifier-sandbox state whose owning process
    died without cleaning up. If a node or wallet was force-killed (Task
    Manager, a crash, or power loss), the next start reports a "stale
    AppContainer cleanup session ... manual remediation is required" error.
    With every Common Foundry process stopped, delete the leftover folders
    under %LOCALAPPDATA%\CommonFoundry\AppContainerProfileCleanupV1 and
    start again. Never delete them while a node, wallet, or miner is running.

Tester acceptance targets

This prerelease is ready for community validation, not a mainnet declaration.
The requested test is deliberately end to end:

  1. Start two or more packaged nodes or wallets and confirm they complete the
    ProductionV3 handshake and synchronize.
  2. Set a payout address in the miner launcher, start it (the first run
    fetches and verifies the model bank automatically), and generate one
    complete ProductionV3 proof.
  3. Confirm the issuing node accepts the block and every other node advances to
    the same height and tip.
  4. Restart a node and confirm block-log replay verifies the proof again.
  5. Send CMFD between two tester wallets and confirm both balances after sync.
  6. Report proof time, proof size, peak miner memory, verifier time, GPU model,
    power, and any worker restart or rejection messages.

All release assets are accompanied by SHA-256 checksums and build information.
