So what is it?

This is a short Python project for mining a cryptocurrency called Pearl using rented GPU servers through Modal.com, a serverless GPU hosting service. The README is brief and covers only the basics. Two scripts are included: one targets a mining pool called Akoya and runs on H100 GPUs at around 600 terahashes per second, and the other targets a pool called Pearlhash and runs on A100 GPUs at around 150 terahashes per second. You configure your own wallet address in each script, deploy it to Modal using their command-line tool, and then monitor logs through either Modal's own log command or a local log file.
