Developer Program

This page is for developers and technical users who want to contribute computing power to the network. Not technical? Go back to the main AI assistant instead.

⚑ Early Access Program

This is an experimental program. Current earnings are small but growing. You're joining something exclusive at the ground floor β€” be part of building the future of distributed AI.

Help power the AI revolution β€” and earn while your computer sleeps

Your computer sits idle most of the time. What if it could help other people's AI assistants work better? Join our experimental network, contribute to something meaningful, and earn passive income from spare computing power.

Is this for me?

βœ… Perfect if you:

  • Have a computer that's often idle (work computer, gaming rig, etc.)
  • Want to earn passive income from spare computing power
  • Are comfortable with basic technical setup
  • Like supporting AI innovation

⚠️ Not for you if you:

  • Need every bit of your computer's performance 24/7
  • Aren't comfortable with command-line setup
  • Want guaranteed high earnings (this is experimental)
Experimental compute network

Technical Setup

Join the IC Mesh experimental network as a node operator. Help process transcription, image generation, and AI jobs across trusted machines. Early stage: ~3-4 jobs per week total across the entire network.

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 β€” 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 β€” no data leaves your machine except the result.

You earn credits (IC credits)

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.

What you need

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

Optional: AI tools

Whisper, Stable Diffusion, Ollama β€” 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:
β—‰ Connected to IC Mesh hub
β—‰ Capabilities: whisper, ffmpeg, gpu-metal
β—‰ Waiting for jobs...

Set up payouts

To cash out your credits 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 β€” complete onboarding there
# Your node ID is printed when client.js starts

Don't want to cash out? That's fine β€” credits 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 β€” max file size, job types, operating hours. Use meshctl to manage your node.
How much can I earn?
Currently small amounts - we're processing ~3-4 jobs per week across the entire 290+ node network. A Mac with Whisper earns ~$0.02/min of audio processed, but jobs are rare. This is about contributing to the future of AI and earning modest passive income, not replacing your day job.
Does it slow down my computer?
The client is designed to use idle cycles. Whisper and SD run at normal priority β€” if you're using your machine, they take a back seat.
What's the minimum cashout?
1,000 credits β‰ˆ $1.00 ($0.80 after Stripe fees). 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.
