🚨 URGENT — ALL MINERS & NODES MUST UPGRADE BEFORE BLOCK 15,000 🚨

EXTREMELY URGENT: The V14 fork activates at block 15,000 and enables the Atomic Swap HTLC consensus rules. This is a MANDATORY binary upgrade. If you do not upgrade in time, from height 15,000 your node will REJECT EVERY BLOCK and be split off the network (forked chain).

HOW TO UPGRADE — do this AFTER block 14,800 and BEFORE block 15,000:

cd sost-core
git pull origin main                 # latest main (commit 58e9cc9b or newer)
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build --target sost-node sost-cli sost-miner -j$(nproc)
# then restart BOTH with the new binaries:
#   stop your old node + miner, then start ./build/sost-node  and  ./build/sost-miner

⚠ ATOMIC SWAP — DO NOT USE ⚠

The SOST Atomic Swap (SOST ↔ ETH/BNB/USDT/USDC/PAXG/XAUT) is in founder-only testing, NOT externally audited and NOT validated for public use. DO NOT USE IT — you can permanently lose your funds. Wait for the founder's official "safe to use" announcement (SOST website, BitcoinTalk, Telegram). SOST ↔ BTC is not active (V15).

The idea

Many mines were abandoned for economic reasons — low prices, dated technology, shallow historical drilling — not because the geology ran out. That information is scattered across hundreds of pages and nobody scores it. GeaSpirit maps and scores these second-chance assets on open satellite and geoscience data, so you can see which deserve a second look before the next 10,000.

What it does

Maps overlooked, abandoned, historic, tailings, care-and-maintenance and underused mining assets on a live dark world map (the Asset Atlas).
Scores each asset with the explainable GeaSpirit Score (0–100), broken into four named dimensions — Signal · Access/Depth · Precision · Certainty — each with a HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW confidence band.
Free Basic Asset Scan — instant, system-generated printable PDF for any asset.
On-demand intelligence reports; 16 languages; open data, no hype.

What it is NOT

Triage / prioritization — not a guaranteed discovery. Only drilling confirms a deposit.
Not a marketplace, not investment advice, no ownership verification.

Ecosystem

GeaSpirit is powered by the GeaSpirit Engine and connected to the SOST ecosystem. SOST may support future payment / verification infrastructure, but GeaSpirit is fully usable without any blockchain and holding SOST is not required.

[b]Many mines were abandoned for economic reasons — not because the geology ran out.[/b]
Low metal prices, bankruptcy, dated technology, shallow historical drilling: the ore is often still there. Yet that information is scattered across hundreds of pages and nobody scores it.

If you work with abandoned mines, tailings, dormant concessions or revival projects, I'd value your feedback.

GeaSpirit provides intelligence, prioritization and research tools based on open data. It does not provide investment advice, legal advice, or guaranteed mineral discovery. No asset shown is offered for sale unless independently verified elsewhere.
