AriaPool TSC: Aria Energy 1.7 (Proof v4, ARIA engine), Sept 2026
====================================================================
WHAT'S NEW IN 1.7: +11 % nonce rate at 512 proof windows (RTX 5090, measured Sept 28, 2026,
     same proof quality at Full verification). Same installer, same proxy, same profiles.
WHAT'S NEW IN 1.6 (kept): RTX 3090 5.3 -> 9.0 N/s (+70 %) and
     RTX 5090 17.1 -> 29.3 N/s (+71 %, 512 proof windows on 30 GB+ cards), measured
     in real mining on Sept 25, 2026. RTX 5080: +1.7 % (about 19 N/s). Rentals:
     automatic recovery after a slow first download, automatic restart with fewer
     windows when the VRAM is too tight (tight 16 GB cards, e.g. 5070 Ti).
     Verified: 120 proofs graded by the official Full verifier (87.5 % GREEN).
     Upgrade = run install.sh again (backend image ~850 MB).
WHAT'S NEW IN 1.5: faster ARIA engine (about +3 % windows/s on RTX 5080 at the same
     power) and no more lost proofs at job renewal when the block has not changed
     (about +3 % credited shares, measured on the live pool). ./view now shows the
     nonce rate (N/s) next to tok/s. Verified: 120 proofs graded by the official Full
     verifier (85.0 % GREEN). Upgrade = run install.sh again (backend image ~850 MB).
WHAT'S NEW IN 1.4: about +15 % windows/s on RTX 5080, same engine, verified on the live pool. Upgrade = run install.sh again.
WHAT'S NEW IN 1.3: single-pass decoding, 384-token slots (256 slots on a 16 GB GPU),
     everything in English (./vue is now ./view).
     Every release is checked by the node's verifier AND by full verification (Full).
     Update: run bash install.sh in the same folder.
OVERVIEW: Aria Energy 1.7 replaces the Aria Worker 2.x kits. Single folder
     ~/aria-energy.
     Engine: llama.cpp (TensorCash fork) + ARIA optimizations (Proof v4 sampler
     on the GPU, window closing off the decode thread). One instance per GPU.
     RTX 30xx/40xx/50xx, Ryzen 5000 (Zen 3) or newer or Intel AVX2 CPU (no AVX-512
     in the kit), NVIDIA driver >= 570. 1% miner fee (5 min every 500 min),
     announced. Official proxy v1.2.0a + 2 ARIA modules (fee, VDF prover in a
     subprocess). Clean log, colored ./view (one throughput line per GPU).
     Install:  bash install.sh   then   cd ~/aria-energy && ./tsc start
     Coming from an Aria Worker 2.x: cd ~/tsc-miner && ./tsc stop, then the 2
     commands above (address, pool, name taken from ~/tsc-miner/.env; model reused).
     One-time downloads: backend image ~1 GB + model 8.1 GB (reference Q8 GGUF:
     reused if already on the machine).
     Details: README.md and VIEW.md.
