Two seats. You host a leftover computer, or you want a key to buy later. We are early. This guide is what you actually do today — not a promise that you are already earning.
Host · 1
A Mac Mini, a leftover desktop, a gaming PC that sits on a desk. Mac or Linux. Windows through WSL. Not a laptop that sleeps in a bag — that box is not hosting. Don’t use the computer that holds your taxes if that makes you uneasy. What a computer can run · How safe is this

In Terminal, on that machine:
curl -fsSL https://www.reasoningcapture.com/install | bashIt reads RAM and CPU, picks models that actually fit, and puts the computer on our list. If the coordinator is up, it starts the node program. Safer habit: download the script first, read it, then run it.

We can see the side of the computer, the model it can
hold, and what jobs that model can take. Serving a
named model still needs a real model file on disk
(GGUF — that’s just the file format) and
llama.cpp. Until then the box will not
pretend to be Llama. A computer that is only turned
on, with no model, is not paid.

Open the
console.
Sign in with the API key in
~/.rcap/agent.json
(apiKey, starts with rcap_sk_).
That is the login — there is no password. The key is
shown once at join; we store only a hash. Earnings,
devices, and the pool are on that page. A mock node
shows $0.00 until a real model file is loaded and a
job hits the box.

Jobs are text in, text out. A buyer cannot run a program on your machine. You can stop any time. Heat and power are the real cost. Do not quit a job over this.
Key · 1
Open the
terminal
and say you want a key — or host later. Leave an
email in the chat. The homepage waitlist does the
same thing. We will write when there is room.
Buyers do not have a public baseURL yet.
curl -fsSL https://www.reasoningcapture.com/install | bash
Optional: RC_NAME for the device name,
RC_EMAIL to attach an email.
