## What it is
A Python mining stack for the Quip Network Substrate chain that coordinates CPU (simulated annealing), GPU (CUDA/Metal/Modal), and QPU (D-Wave) miners. It fetches mining snapshots at each chain head, searches for valid Ising model solutions, and submits QuantumPow proof extrinsics back to the chain.

## Use cases
- mine QUIP tokens with a GPU or CPU
- run a quantum proof-of-work miner against a Substrate chain
- solve Ising model problems for blockchain rewards
- connect a D-Wave QPU to a mining network
- participate in the Quip Network airdrop by running a node
- benchmark simulated annealing across CPU and CUDA backends

## When to choose
- you want to mine on the Quip Network with CPU, GPU, or quantum hardware
- you need a ready-made coordinator that links official Quip miners to the chain
- you want to experiment with quantum-annealing-based proof of work

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade, warrantied mining software
- you want a standalone blockchain node - v0.2 removed consensus and P2P, the chain is separate
- you don't have access to CUDA, Metal, Modal, or D-Wave resources and only need casual mining
- you need a stable, audited crypto-mining stack
