Vocence Subnet Addresses Miner Score Manipulation via Chute Cooling

The team identified a scoring inconsistency where miners can maintain scores during 'cold' chutes by temporarily disabling inference, then reactivating to preserve rankings. This undermines model fairness and requires evaluation rule adjustments.

• •Miners exploit cold chutes to retain scores despite reduced sampling
• •Proposed fix: Decrease scores during cold periods similar to task failure penalties
• •Validators currently mark cold chutes as invalid but retain historical scores
