List of All 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.


1. List of banned GPUs

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-ban


2. How to request an unban for your GPU

  1. Confirm that your card appears in the list above.

  2. Open the support chat (bottom‑right corner of the Clore.ai website) and state that you intend to request an unban.

  3. After an administrator acknowledges your request, send exactly 3 000 CLORE to the official burn address:

  4. Do not send funds to any other address, even if someone promises an unban. Such offers are scams—the developer team recognises only the burn address above.

  5. Once the transaction is confirmed on‑chain, our team will manually remove the ban within 24 hours.


3. Limitations and repeated offences

  • The unban procedure applies only to GPUs. User accounts cannot be unbanned, even for payment.

  • The administration reserves the right to refuse the unban of a specific GPU; each request is reviewed individually. Persistent rule-breakers will be denied unban, even if they pay.

  • If a previously unbanned card violates the rules again, it will be permanently banned with no possibility of future unban.


4. 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.
