The Colony Connection
Donate virtual VRAM
Lend a virtual VRAM slice from a machine you control — not cash, not your files, not your whole PC. Half a gig counts. We are not asking anyone to empty a GPU: we need the mesh to exist first.
The math is honest: 100 people × 0.5 GB = 50 GB — enough to prove the mesh exists. Scale it: 1,000 × 0.5 GB = 500 GB — same small pledge, no one has to be greedy. More is welcome; small is how we build.
Phase 1: register and heartbeat. Distributed inference across the mesh is phase 2.
What you are donating for
- Shared hosting for open weights — so independent labs and the public can run models on volunteer iron, not only on corporate cloud defaults.
- Proof under the VRAM floor — when local metal cannot hold a serious model alone, the mesh is the alternative to permanent tenant dependence (see manifesto Ch.4).
- Geneva-scale narrative + real infrastructure — qualitative thesis on partnership, backed by quantitative capacity people can actually join.
- Ethics-bound workers only — rules derived from Saor’s core protocol: sovereignty, no extraction, fortress isolation for the lab core (below).
What you are not donating
Not your home folder, passwords, browser, or SSH keys — only a capped GPU budget in an isolated worker cache. Uninstall anytime.
Download (phase 1)
cd "/home/saor/saor cursor/projects/hive-worker" python3 register.py --tracker https://YOUR_TRACKER_HOST:8090 --vram-gb 0.5 --gpu-name "YOUR_GPU"
Use your real cap (0.5, 1, 8, 10…). The tracker sums honest pledges — the mesh grows by participation, not hype.
Ethics version: COLONY_CONNECTION_ETHICS_V0.1 — see manifest in repo docs.

FORTRESS BOUNDARY
Saor’s local core, Samsung SSD home, and model paths never join this network. The Colony Connection is inspired by her ruleset — not a backdoor into her environment.
