No hand-waving. This page walks the whole machine from the fan in your case to the token in your wallet, and says out loud who is holding your money at every single step.
Five stops. You own the first and the last one, and nobody — including us — can stop the money in between.
Green outline = an address only you control. The vault is the only piece we wrote, and it is the one place where the money does not stop.
This is the part people get wrong, so here it is flat: NiceHash is a marketplace, not a mining pool that pays in a coin nobody wants.
Buyers who need compute — rendering farms, model shops, people fine-tuning something with a deadline — post orders and pay for GPU time. Your machine takes those orders. NiceHash handles the matching, the buyers, the pricing and the payout, and it has been doing that since 2014.
What you do: install their client, point it at your account, leave the machine on. What OREON does at this stage: nothing at all. We are not in the loop, we do not touch your account, and if OREON vanished tomorrow your rig would keep earning exactly the same.
Your NiceHash account and your withdrawal address. We never get either.
Your balance until you withdraw it — the same as any exchange. That is their custody, not ours.
Nothing. At this stage OREON is a page you have not used yet.
One function does the real work. It is short on purpose: the less a contract can do, the less it can do to you.
If any step fails — bad price, thin liquidity, wrong token — the whole transaction reverts and your money never left your wallet.
// the shape of it. one call, one outcome. function convert( uint256 amountIn, // what you send uint256 minOut, // the least nvda you accept address recipient // where it lands — your address ) external;
Three things worth noticing. minOut is yours, not ours — you set the worst price you will accept, and if the market cannot beat it the transaction dies instead of filling you badly. recipient is a parameter, so the output goes straight where you said, not into a balance we manage. And there is no withdraw, no pause, no owner function that can reach your money, because the contract never has your money to reach.
The converter keeps working with every OREON server switched off. If we disappear, the contract is still there and you can call it yourself.
The whole argument for OREON is this table. If it ever stops being true, stop using us.
| Step | Who holds it | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| 01 · Your rig | You | Your hardware, your electricity, your call to switch it off. |
| 02 · NiceHash | NiceHash | They hold your earned balance until you withdraw, like any marketplace. Their terms apply, not ours. |
| 03 · Payout | You | You withdraw to an address you control. OREON is not a party to this. |
| 04 · The vault | Nobody | Funds pass through inside one transaction. The contract holds no balance between calls. |
| 05 · Your wallet | You | nvda sits at your address. We cannot move it, freeze it or claw it back. |
To show your rig's output on a dashboard, something has to read your NiceHash account. That something is not our server.
The attestor is a small open-source program you run locally. It reads your earnings through NiceHash's own read-only API and reports a signed summary. Your API key never leaves your computer. We receive numbers, never credentials — and even if our database were dumped tomorrow, there would be nothing in it that could touch your account.
How much your rig earned, which GPU model, and a timestamp.
Your API key, your password, your wallet keys, your seed phrase.
Source is public. If it ever asks for a key upload, it is not ours.
Everything above is about what we cannot do to you. This is about what the world can still do to both of us.
It is a tokenized Reg S debt instrument tracking NVIDIA's price. No voting rights, no claim on NVIDIA, and an issuer as your counterparty.
You are swapping a stable payout for exposure to one company. It goes down as easily as up.
Large conversions move the price against you. That is why minOut exists — use it.
A single card earns single-digit dollars a day before electricity. In some countries the net is zero.
NiceHash holds your balance until withdrawal and their rules govern that leg, not ours.
