Validation failures lock out miners; hotkey removal requested
Share
A miner (UID 50) was added to the invalid_hotkeys list after dataset validation failed due to empty captions from the captioner. The miner has since patched their pipeline and requests removal from the blocklist. Team guidance confirms datasets must be submitted within each 12-hour cycle; missing clips trigger validation failure. The miner suggests implementing periodic resets or a second-chance mechanism for transient failures.
- •Empty captions from captioner cause permanent invalid_hotkeys status
- •Datasets must submit before 12-hour cycle completes
- •Miner patched pipeline, now passes all validator checks
- •Permanent lockout on first rejection flagged as overly harsh
