Unpaid beta policy
Host testing is unpaid during this beta.
RenderMac does not pay host testers during this stage. No earnings, wages, credits, reimbursements, electricity costs, or payouts accrue, and participation creates no promise of future payment.
What this means
- No payable balance: completed test work does not accrue compensation.
- No employment relationship: testers choose when to participate and can pause or leave.
- No expense reimbursement: hardware, power, and connectivity remain the tester's responsibility.
- No retroactive entitlement: any future paid program would require separate terms and opt-in.
What we measured
- Power: LongKinetic20m ~5.4 Wh absolute package energy on M2 Max (~$0.001 at $0.1883/kWh). Electricity is not the pricing floor. Power bakeoff.
- Capability: M1 Air Remotion HeavyMotion within ~25–30% of M2 Max. Fleet bakeoff.
Current compensation: $0. Dashboard test metrics are operational only and are not money, redeemable credits, wages, or an account payable.
