IdleChip Verifier
Desktop helper for IdleChip sellers. Scans GPUs on your PC, syncs stats to My GPUs, and keeps your registered cards Available (or reports utilization during an active rental).
Buyers do not install this — it proves your machine is real and online before they book hours.

Commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| pair --url URL --code CODE | One-time link to your signed-in account |
| scan | Detect GPUs and push a one-off sync to My GPUs |
| register [--gpu KEY] | Register the selected GPU on the marketplace |
| watch [--session ID] | Stay online — re-scan every 5s and report availability; use --session during an active rental to attest delivered hours |
watch is what My GPUs means by Available. Stop it when you take the machine offline. During a booked session, run watch --session <session-id> so utilization proofs credit delivered hours.
Security
- CLI only calls idlechip.com, idlechip.vercel.app, and localhost (dev)
- Sync, register, and availability updates require a Bearer token from pairing
- Pairing codes expire in 10 minutes and are single-use
- Token binds to your PC's
hostIdon first sync - v1.1+: pairing registers an Ed25519 attestation key on this PC (
%USERPROFILE%\.idlechip\attestation-key.json).watch --sessionsigns utilization proofs the marketplace verifies before crediting hours.
