What is Hetu Parallel Network?

Hetu Parallel Network is a decentralized AI compute network based on the Nostr protocol. It is designed to transform your idle consumer-grade GPUs (such as RTX 3090/4090) into a stable stream of cash flow.

✨ Core Highlights

  • Dual Income Stream: We refuse to let compute power go to waste. Your node earns Flux when processing tasks, and generates Credit (guaranteed points) even when idling in standby mode. You generate value 24/7.

  • Continuous Demand: By offering prices 70% lower than the market combined with native privacy protection, we attract a massive number of AI developers, ensuring a steady supply of tasks for miners.

  • Easy Access: Supports Windows/Linux with one-click deployment. The system automatically identifies hardware tiers, allowing you to easily start earning passive income.

💻 Daily Operations Guide (Terminal)

This guide is designed for users deploying via the Command Line (Terminal) on Mac/Linux or Windows (Manual Deployment).

1. How to Stop the Node

When you need to stop the node or turn off your computer:

  • Standard Method (Recommended): inside the terminal window running the program, press Ctrl + C.

    Note: The program may take a few seconds to finish the current task and disconnect gracefully. Please wait patiently until the command prompt reappears.

  • Force Close: Click the X on the terminal window. (Not recommended as it may leave background processes running, though it is the simplest method).

2. How to Restart the Node

Please strictly follow this 3-Step Process:

Step 1: Enter Project Directory Open your terminal and use cd to enter the folder you downloaded:

Bash

Step 2: Activate Virtual Environment (Crucial!) You must activate the Python virtual environment created during installation, otherwise, you will see "Module not found" errors.

  • Mac / Linux:

    Bash

  • Windows:

    PowerShell

    Success Indicator: Once activated, you will see (venv) at the beginning of your command line.

Step 3: Run the Start Command Once the environment is active, paste your startup command:

Bash

💡 Pro Tip: Press the Up Arrow (⬆️) key in the terminal to cycle through your command history. You don't need to copy-paste every time.

3. Health Check: Is it running?

After starting, don't just stare at the black screen. Look for these signals:

✅ Normal Signals

  • INFO: All normal logs start with INFO (usually green or white text).

  • Connected: Indicates a successful connection to the Nostr Relay.

  • Heartbeat / Ping: Appears every few seconds. This means your node is online.

  • Job / Task: If you see these words, your GPU is currently processing a task (Working).

❌ Error Signals

  • ERROR / CRITICAL: Red text indicating a problem.

  • Connection Refused: Usually a network issue. Check your proxy/VPN.

4. Recommended Workflow

To maximize revenue and minimize maintenance:

  1. On Startup: Open Terminal -> cd folder -> source activate venv -> ⬆️ Up Arrow to run history command.

  2. Idling: Keep the terminal window minimized. Do not close it.

    • Mac Users: Ensure your computer does not enter Sleep Mode (Display off is fine, but the system must stay awake), or the network connection will drop.

  3. Routine Check: Glance at the terminal morning and night to ensure the Heartbeat is still ticking. If it has stopped or errored, Ctrl + C and restart.

🔧 Troubleshooting: Installation Errors

If you encounter Timeout, Connection Reset, or Errors during git clone or install: This is likely because your Terminal is not passing traffic through your VPN/Proxy.

Solution 1: Enable TUN Mode (Recommended)

  1. Open your VPN/Proxy software settings.

  2. Look for "TUN Mode", "Enhanced Mode", or "Virtual Network Card" and enable it.

    Why? Standard proxy modes only handle browser traffic. TUN Mode forces all computer traffic (including the Terminal) through the VPN.

Solution 2: Manual Proxy Configuration

If your software doesn't support TUN, enter the following command in your terminal manually (assuming your proxy port is 7890):

Bash

Press Enter, then try running the installation command again.
