One connect command pairs, scans, and registers your GPU. Enable scanning
Click Enable live scanning. The page starts a scan loop on this machine (local dev) or sets a flag your paired GPU verifier picks up (live site). You should see cards under Local scans with model, VRAM, driver, and live util when scanning is active. Recent builds sync every few seconds; older versions may update closer to once a minute. If the list stays empty, check that NVIDIA drivers are installed and the GPU verifier is paired on the live site.

Turn scanning on before selecting or registering Select GPU
Use the Select GPU type dropdown above the buttons. Pick the card you want to rent out, then click Confirm. The matching feed on the right uses this choice. Choosing None clears the selection and stops live scanning. Use None only when you want to pause.

Confirmation locks the GPU model for registration and buyer matching. Register & availability
Click Register selected GPU . Use the same @username as your account (pre-filled when signed in). That publishes the GPU to the marketplace registry. Then click Run watch on the GPU PC so buyers see Available on Profile and listings. During an active session, keep watch running; attestations for delivered hours come from the GPU verifier while a session is linked.

When Local scans updates, util and temperature refresh on the card. Profile shows your network status. Next step: create an Offering GPU post or reply to a buyer thread. Both require a registered, online GPU.
