How it works

Your machine joins a mesh of real hardware. Jobs come in, your node picks them up, you get paid.

Install the mesh client

Clone the repo and run node client.js. The client auto-detects your hardware capabilities — GPU, Whisper, Stable Diffusion, ffmpeg.

Jobs arrive automatically

When someone submits a transcription or image generation job, the hub matches it to a capable node. If your machine fits, you get the job.

Your node does the work

Whisper transcribes audio. Stable Diffusion generates images. Everything runs locally on your hardware — no data leaves your machine except the result.

You earn ints

80% of the job's value is credited to your operator account. Cash out to real money via Stripe Connect when you're ready.

What your node can do

The client auto-detects what's installed. More capabilities = more job types = more earnings.

Whisper
Audio → text transcription
Stable Diffusion
Text → image generation
FFmpeg
Audio/video processing
GPU (Metal/CUDA)
Accelerated inference

What you need

Not much. If it can run Node.js, it can earn.

💻

Any computer

Mac, Linux, Windows. Desktop, laptop, server, Raspberry Pi.

📦

Node.js 18+

The mesh client runs on Node. That's it for the base.

🌐

Internet connection

Needs to reach the mesh hub. No port forwarding needed.

🔧

Optional: AI tools

Whisper, Stable Diffusion, Ollama — install what you want to offer.

Set up your node

Three steps. Five minutes. Then you're earning.

Clone and configure

# Get the mesh client
git clone https://github.com/intelligence-club/ic-mesh.git
cd ic-mesh && npm install

# Set your identity
export IC_MESH_HUB=https://moilol.com/mesh
export IC_NODE_NAME=my-node
export IC_NODE_OWNER=you@email.com

Start your node

# Launch the client
node client.js

# You'll see something like:
◉ Connected to IC Mesh hub
◉ Capabilities: whisper, ffmpeg, gpu-metal
◉ Waiting for jobs...

Set up payouts

To cash out your ints to real money, connect your Stripe account:

# Register for payouts (one-time)
curl -X POST https://moilol.com/mesh/nodes/onboard \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"nodeId":"YOUR_NODE_ID","email":"you@email.com"}'

# Opens a Stripe Connect link — complete onboarding there
# Your node ID is printed when client.js starts

Don't want to cash out? That's fine — ints accumulate in your operator account and can be used to submit your own jobs too.

Common questions

Is my data safe?
Job data (audio files, images) is processed locally on your machine. Only the result (transcript text, generated image) is sent back. Your machine, your data sovereignty.
Can I choose what jobs to accept?
Yes. The client auto-detects capabilities, but you can configure limits — max file size, job types, operating hours. Use meshctl to manage your node.
How much can I earn?
Depends on your hardware and job volume. A Mac with Whisper doing transcription jobs can earn ~$0.02/min of audio processed. As the network grows, so does job flow.
Does it slow down my computer?
The client is designed to use idle cycles. Whisper and SD run at normal priority — if you're using your machine, they take a back seat.
What's the minimum cashout?
1,000 ints ($0.80). Stripe handles the transfer to your bank account, debit card, or wherever you want it.
Can I run it on a Raspberry Pi?
Yes! It won't do GPU inference, but it can handle ffmpeg jobs (audio conversion, basic processing). Every bit of compute counts.
