Where SN61 stands for a new miner
Two challenges are live. ADA-3 has become a farm of near-identical perfect scores. BEX Tracer, the new browser-extension challenge, carries 60% of miner pay and has exactly one accepted entry. It is hard, but it needs no paid licences and can be tested on this box.
Start with BEX Tracer, not ADA-3. One miner (UID 30) holds the whole BEX share, about $1,924 a day, and its entry starts to decay on 17 Nov. Passing needs a raw score of 0.80 or more and code that is unlike every accepted entry: only 3 of 3,634 submissions ever made it. Build and measure locally first; registering costs almost nothing, so spend nothing until a detector clears 0.85 on your own rig.
The subnet in numbers
Miner pay = 2,952 alpha a day (41% of emission) at 0.00567 TAO per alpha and $190.22 per TAO.
Who is paid
| Who | UIDs | Share of miner pay | ≈ $ per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| UID 30: the only accepted BEX Tracer entry (score 0.804) | 1 | 60.4% | $1,924 |
| ADA-3 entries, most of them scoring 1.000 | 117 | 39.5% in all (up to 0.55% each) | $12 median, up to $18 |
| Everyone else | 138 | 0 | 0 |
From the incentive column of the metagraph at block 9,512,820. The owner (UID 254) earns no incentive: no self-mining, and the burn code in the validator is still commented out.
Two live challenges
- Eight JavaScript detectors tell which of 89 browser extensions are running (12 per round, 6 rounds, mean MCC).
- Accepted at a raw score of 0.80 with similarity under 0.6 to every accepted entry.
- 3,634 submissions from 245 UIDs; 13 scored 0.80 or more; 3 accepted.
- Free extensions, public image: testable on this box.
- Detect five paid anti-detect browsers plus headless Chrome; any false positive on a real browser scores 0.
- Minimum score raised from 0.5 to 0.9.
- 152 accepted entries on 128 UIDs, mostly at 1.000, so the 40% is split almost evenly.
- Testing needs about $130 a month of licences, for about $12 a day per UID (25 UIDs are already fading below $5).

What to do first
- RigPull the official BEX challenge image (
redteamsubnet61/rest-bex-challenge:1.0.0, exact extension builds) and run its round script, which prints the true enabled set. - CensusLoad each of the 89 extensions alone and record what it changes on the bait page. Start with the 29 the field rarely finds.
- DetectorsWrite the eight group files in your own structure, precision first, until 100+ local rounds average 0.85 or more.
- SubmitOnly then register, publish a private image and commit, right after registering and before about 12:45 UTC.
- WatchUID 30's refresh and decay, new BEX acceptances, and Bot Virus v2, which may change the 60/40 split.
