Frequently asked questions and Apex support channels
Mining
Where do I start?
Read the docs related to the Apex subnet and current competitions. Have a look at the Subnet 1 Mining page for setup guidance.
How to test my miner locally?
Visit each of the competition folders to see example submission formats as well as a baseline submission. Inside each competition-specific folder is also a ReadMe guide to get started.
Where can I see my scores and other metrics?
Each competition has its own dashboard demonstrating relevant metrics. You can find them on the Apex website at apex.macrocosmos.ai/ in the competition section. If you are registered on the subnet, you may also view your results and download files from the Apex CLI.
Submission Fees
How much are submission fees?
Submission fees are variable per competition. If a competition is not listed here, then it's free to submit to.
RL Tron: $1.40 per submission
Iota Simulator: $10 per submission
My submission was rejected. What happens to my fee?
If your submission was rejected, you can reuse the fee payment information on another submission. Resubmit with:
apex submit --payment-block-hash [YOUR BLOCK HASH] --payment-extrinsic-index [YOUR EXTRINSIC INDEX]
Something went wrong with my submission fee payment. What can I do?
If your payment went through successfully, you will receive a receipt including the payment block hash and extrinsic index. You can resubmit your solution with the unused payment with:
apex submit --payment-block-hash [YOUR BLOCK HASH] --payment-extrinsic-index [YOUR EXTRINSIC INDEX]
I don't have my payment receipt log. What can I do?
If you do not have this receipt log, you can retrieve your block hash and extrinsic index from taostats.
The extrinsic index is the number after the
-in the "Extrinsic" column, without any leading zeros.i.e. Extrinsic: 8077100-0020 -> extrinsic index = 20.
You can find the block number by clicking on the transaction details for an extrinsic.
