- What happened
- SN44 (Score) miners reported multiple ground-truth labeling errors across the Room Dirtiness, Beverage, Petrol Station, and Vehicle detection challenges, citing missing objects, mismatched classes, and inconsistent false-positive counts in specific blocks. The team reviewed the flagged blocks and removed several of them after confirming the ground truth was incorrect, while stating that other challenges were correctly annotated.
- Community
- Miners continued to submit block-specific review requests throughout the period, with some expressing frustration when asked not to repeat pings after a challenge had already been processed. Separately, a dispute arose over the soccer tracking leaderboard, with one miner describing a pattern where a model held the top position briefly before being displaced by another with nearly identical scores, prompting another miner to question whether this reflected normal competition.
- Official
- The team confirmed and removed incorrect ground-truth blocks in Room Dirtiness, Beverage, Petrol Station, and Vehicle detection, and noted that reviews are performed once per day and that already-processed challenges would not be re-reviewed.
24h change −0.22%
- What happened
- The SN44 (Score) team removed several ground-truth blocks it judged misannotated across the PPE, Room Dirtiness and Petrol Station elements, following reports from miners. Separately, the team blacklisted two miner hotkeys in the private Football track, stating the operator had deliberately left a model out of the submitted solution and that results could not be reproduced on spot-check. The team said other reported blocks were checked and found to be correctly annotated.
- Community
- Miners disputed how the block-removal process is applied, with one arguing it can erase a legitimate zero score for the miner who requested the removal. Another miner presented tie-break data for the Vehicle detection leaderboard, questioning whether the logic routinely pays an older, lower-ranked model instead of the top scorer. A separate miner suggested the Football blacklisting may have been aimed at competitors who were close to overtaking the team's own leading models.
- Official
- The team confirmed removing specific blocks in PPE, Room Dirtiness and Petrol Station, said other reported issues were correctly annotated, and stated the two blacklisted Football hotkeys had purposely left their model out of their submitted solution with results that could not be reproduced.
24h change −7.77%
- What happened
- A Chutes API outage produced widespread zero scores across several SN44 (Score) tasks, including room element, beverage, fallen person, and PPE, prompting miners to report the issue throughout the day. The team later removed specific flagged blocks for Petrol Station, Fallen Person, Vehicle, Beverage, and PPE but did not apply a blanket removal of all chutes-caused zero scores. Separately, a miner accused another participant of copying their model after the outage exposed code, and the team investigated but declined to blacklist either party since both models derived from the same baseline. A miner also proposed lowering the Detect-Vehicle tiebreak threshold, which another miner warned could enable score-copying.
- Community
- Miners repeatedly asked the team to remove or re-evaluate zero scores tied to the Chutes outage, with some requesting exemptions only for affected miners rather than a full reset. One miner pushed back on a proposed tiebreak threshold change, warning it could let submissions bypass rules by copying existing results.
- Official
- The team said Chutes-related failures were outside its control and removed specific flagged blocks rather than exempting all chutes-caused zero scores; it also declined to blacklist a miner in the model-copying dispute, stating both commits derived from the same baseline, and clarified annotation rules for soccer events.
24h change −1.64%
- What happened
- SN44 (Score) launched a new public track element for detecting room dirtiness, defining five detection classes with annotation rules. The team blacklisted four hotkeys on the football private track for not sharing committed solutions as required by the track's documentation. A Chutes platform outage caused 500 errors and zero scores across public elements at block 9383100, affecting Petrol Station and Beverage challenges.
- Community
- Miners flagged ground-truth disputes on several elements, including PPE eyewear annotations and Petrol Station pump counts, and asked the team to review specific blocks. Several users pressed the team to remove the failed block after the Chutes outage. A miner also raised concerns about the Chutes hourly rate for the PRO 6000 GPU rising to $2.25.
- Official
- The team confirmed the Chutes outage was being fixed and said the affected block would be removed once resolved; it later removed block 9383100 for all public elements, including Petrol Station and Beverage. The team stated rewards are sufficient to cover costs and reiterated that Chutes offers stability and security.
24h change −1.64%
- What happened
- SN44 (Score) moderators blacklisted a batch of cricket-track hotkeys for reading speed data directly off the game board via OCR, following a prior warning against the practice. Separately, the petrol, PPE, and beverage tracks went through extended outages with no new challenges being issued, and the team later removed several flagged blocks from the petrol and PPE tracks after miners reported incorrect ground-truth annotations.
- Community
- Miners repeatedly asked moderators to restore the petrol, PPE, and beverage tracks during the outages and questioned specific annotation blocks. A separate, extended discussion focused on why one hotkey had held the top emission position on the soccer track for an extended period, with some miners questioning the fairness of the ranking.
- Official
- The team confirmed the cricket-track blacklisting was tied to the OCR rule and said it is working on further measures, and later listed the specific blocks removed from the petrol (9359700, 9368700) and PPE (9365400, 9368400) tracks after review.
24h change +0.17%
- What happened
- SN44 (Score) blacklisted several Cricket-track hotkeys after determining they were controlled by a single miner using shared IP addresses and multiple account names. A community member also raised concerns about similar patterns of multiple accounts controlled by one miner in the football track. Separately, miners reported recurring ground-truth annotation errors across the petrol, person, PPE, vehicle, beverage and fallen-person tracks, prompting requests for manual review of specific blocks. A miner also asked the team to adjust the profile3 tie-break score threshold from 0.05 to 0.049, or to convert the petrol element to profile2, to avoid excluding top miners from emissions.
- Community
- Miners flagged specific blocks they believed were mislabeled in ground truth and asked for clarification on labeling policy for difficult images. Some miners who were blacklisted or lost scores due to errors such as HTTP 500 responses or missed latency failures asked the team to review their cases, and one miner questioned why vehicle detection had stopped working.
- Official
- The team confirmed removal of several blocks in the Petrol Station, Vehicle, PPE and Person tracks after review, stated that blacklisting decisions are not based solely on hotkey numbers, and declined the request to lower the tie-break threshold.
24h change −0.79%
- What happened
- The SN44 (Score) team fixed a tiebreak bug in which the archive component failed to properly read 'recover commit', which had caused UID 80 to receive continuous emission over UID 74 in the fallen-person element despite matching scores. The team also removed blocks 9318000, 9322500 and 9322800 from the PPE track after miners repeatedly flagged ground-truth annotation errors. Separately, a miner raised concern that top scores on the soccer track had dropped sharply, suggesting data drift rather than model quality as the cause.
- Community
- A miner publicly named a specific coldkey, alleging it was being used to gain an unfair scoring advantage on the soccer track; the exchange escalated into a heated public argument and a moderator banned one participant. Another miner asked the team to spot-check a UID tied to a previously flagged account after its performance improved suddenly.
- Official
- The team confirmed the tiebreak fix, removed the three disputed PPE blocks from evaluation, and stated it does not mine on the subnet.
24h change +1.51%
- What happened
- A miner was found exploiting the tie-break logic on the fallen-person detection track, repeatedly avoiding certain validation challenges to retain top-miner status despite running a copied model. The team fixed the underlying archive exploit and updated the tie-break logic to compare the last 10 common non-zero challenges instead of simply the last 10 challenges overall. Separately, the team introduced a formal process for miners to request review and exclusion of soccer-track challenges demonstrated to be mislabeled against the annotation rules. Multiple miners also reported extended downtime on the Petrol station, Beverage detection, and soccer private track elements.
- Community
- Miners repeatedly reported the exploited hotkey and the extended outages on the Petrol station and Beverage detection elements, asking the team to investigate and, in some cases, blacklist the hotkey. A separate debate ran over soccer-track annotation consistency, with miners arguing that ground truth for events such as aerial duels was applied unevenly across clips.
- Official
- The team confirmed it fixed the archive exploit that allowed miners to selectively avoid challenges and revised the tie-break logic to compare common non-zero challenges. It also announced a review process for soccer-track challenges with demonstrably incorrect annotations, and said on X that fallen-person detection accuracy rose from a 43.6% baseline to 98% on crowded street footage.
24h change −0.98%
- What happened
- On SN44 (Score), the team removed several petrol-detection ground-truth blocks (9292500, 9281100, 9292200) after miners reported incorrect bounding box annotations. A miner alleged that a top performer on the Cricket element controlled roughly 30 hotkeys and continued operating new hotkeys after being blacklisted. The team paused Cricket challenges while adding new ones and clarified that the tie-break mechanism compares outputs across 20 challenges, 10 latest and 10 random, reproducible via hash. The PPE and Fallen Person Detection tracks went inactive and were later restored after repeated miner reports.
- Community
- Miners repeatedly flagged ground-truth errors in the petrol track and asked for specific blocks to be reviewed and removed. Several participants raised concerns about multi-hotkey control on Cricket and pushed back on the tie-break threshold, arguing it favors established miners, while others defended the existing rule as effective.
- Official
- The team confirmed removal of the flagged petrol blocks, explained the tie-break's random-but-reproducible design, paused Cricket pending new challenges, and announced the Fallen Person Detection element was restored and would be monitored.
24h change −1.55%
- What happened
- A miner alleged that two other miners submitted near-identical copies of their beverage-track model and received payouts through the subnet's tie-break mechanism; the team stated it does not ban model copies in the public track and pointed to private commits as the way to protect original work. Separately, the team blacklisted a significant number of Cricket private-track hotkeys after spot checks could not reproduce the results those hotkeys had reported, and said the spot-checking process would be strengthened going forward. A coldkey controlling three miner accounts and three validator accounts on the football track was also raised by community members, with the team attributing its validator display to an alpha-stake threshold rather than validator permissions. An official X post reported that every SN44 (Score) competition running ten days earlier has a new champion today, with first and second place separated by less than 0.01 in seven of eight races.
- Community
- Miners pressed the team to ban the alleged copycats and to tighten rules protecting original model submissions, while the team maintained that the public track allows copying absent a private commit. Separate community members questioned why one coldkey held both miner and validator accounts on the football track and whether validator access to ground-truth data gave it an advantage; the team disputed the characterization. A miner whose hotkey was skipped from evaluation after a deregistration near the eval block confirmed the gap was expected and was advised to use commit_recover rather than recommitting.
- Official
- The team said it does not ban model copies in the public track, citing existing protections via private commit, and announced the blacklisting of a significant number of Cricket private-track hotkeys following failed spot checks, with stronger spot checks planned. It also published a report showing new champions in six of eight SN44 (Score) competitions over a 10-day window, with close margins in most races.
