- What happened
- Miners debated whether the current champion agent's code, including a regex pattern for text handling, constitutes prohibited hard-coding, with the dispute pending a decision from the subnet owner. Separately, the team clarified rules on resubmission after elimination and on scoring for agents whose hotkey is deregistered mid-race.
- Community
- Participants split between defending the champion agent's logic as generic text processing and arguing it amounts to hard-coding, with some calling for the owner to review the case. The exchange grew tense at points, with accusations of team affiliation and calls to keep the discussion respectful.
- Official
- A community member acting in a clarifying role confirmed that similarity checks still apply to eliminated agents resubmitted under a new hotkey, and that deregistered hotkeys continue to have their agents scored but require re-registration to receive emissions.

Some miners argue the champion agent's code is generic text processing, not hard-coding, and passes the anti-cheating rule.
“The code pass the cheating rule. This is not hard coding.”
-
Others reject this defense, saying the agent owner's own assurance is insufficient and the owner (seth) must rule on it.
“your word alone is not enough to prove that the code for champion agent is clean. let’s wait to hear from the seth.”
-
Some insist plainly that any such logic is hard-coding regardless of how it is framed.
“But hardcoding is hardcoding..”
