a rig is a route the solver is allowed to take. orchard direct and monero direct go sol to zec or xmr in one intent. the two hop rigs go sol to near to zec or xmr, which sometimes has the better quote and always earns grade 3 for the extra settlement. split handles fragmented intents and may use any route per fragment.

a rig's hashrate is shares accepted per sol of fee it spent. a rig whose hashrate falls under a quarter of the median of the five over the last 64 shares is throttled: it is offered one intent in four until it climbs back. nothing is ever turned off and nobody chooses.

the rigs are not separate machines. they are five policies inside one solver, and the figure on the home page shows them as two fans because every policy ends on one of the two chains.

the five rows above the body. the wheel sits at its top

turns one frame per accepted share
exhaust
marks that appear above the body while a fan spins

monero. spins while the machine is proving on monero
mode bar
eight cells. left four fill for zcash, right four for monero
rung bar
eight cells. one fills per rung, six at most
conveyor
the dotted row. one dot per intent, moving right

two rails under the body
bit
drops one row per share, five rows, then returns
vein row
widens from the center with the value shielded
rock
the bottom row before anything is shielded
