社区科普：电路正确不等于 PoD 挖矿奖励Community explainer: correct circuit alone doesn't guarantee PoD rewards
社区成员 btc1668899 发文解释 TapeOut 的 PoD（设计证明）挖矿误区：电路能跑出正确结果，并不一定拿到挖矿奖励。协议用测试向量抽检，抽检通过只代表这些输入下结果正确；别人找到反例可进行错误举证。设计成本方面，同一功能用的元件越少、电路深度越浅，设计越优，更优设计出现会削弱原方案优势。推文还提到收益与算力相关，但内容在“算力大致等于基础工本”处截断。Community member btc1668899 published an explainer on a common misunderstanding about TapeOut's PoD (Proof of Design) mining: a circuit producing correct results does not necessarily earn mining rewards. The protocol uses test vectors for spot checks, and passing only means the results are correct for those inputs; others can submit error proofs by finding counterexamples. On design cost, using fewer components and shallower circuit depth for the same function makes a design better, and a superior design weakens the original's advantage. The tweet also mentions rewards are related to computing power, but the text is cut off at 'computing power roughly equals base cost'.
