Banned GPUs

This page lists every graphics card that has been banned from Clore.ai for breaking our platform rules - most commonly self‑renting, hardware substitution, or other prohibited behaviour.

We update this register continuously. Before commissioning equipment - or buying a used GPU on a marketplace - check here to ensure the card is not already banned.

Finding your GPU ID in Hive OS

If your rig runs Hive OS, you can retrieve the GPU ID (the GPU‑xxxxxxxx‑… string used in the list below) as follows:

  1. Log in to your Hive OS dashboard and open the worker that hosts the card.

  2. Click Hive Shell ▶ Start to launch a remote terminal, then open the provided link.

  3. In the shell window:

  4. The command prints one line per GPU, e.g.

    Copy the line that corresponds to the card you want to check.

  5. Compare this ID with the banned‑GPU list below. If it appears, the card is currently blocked.

Check the ban status of a GPU by its GPU UUID: https://clore.ai/check-gpu-banarrow-up-right


2. Why a GPU can be banned

  • Self‑renting (renting your own hardware to yourself to farm rewards).

  • Any tampering with the Clore Docker container or the software environment provided to renters.

  • Hardware substitution — e.g. listing a farm with 5 × RTX 5090 but swapping them for 1 × GTX 1060 during an active rental.

  • Artificially inflating reported core count, VRAM, or similar specs.

  • Exploiting platform vulnerabilities to boost metrics such as MFP or otherwise gain unfair advantage.

  • Bypassing service fees, abusing referral or reward programmes, or any other fraud.
