# KohakuBlueleaf/KohakUnlock

> Source-first research on volatile NVIDIA tensor-compute unlocks, documenting a Linux/initramfs port for one VRAM-modded RTX 2080 Ti and Ampere reproduction notes. It provides Turing source, offline tests, ROM analysis and inventory tooling, but no firmware blobs, flash utility or installer.

- Magnitude: 2.4 out of 10 — Steady
- Stars: 136 total · +8 stars measured 2026-10-25, 17:54–20:08 UTC, ≈ 9 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: C · License: GPL-2.0 · Created: 2026-10-25 · Last push: 2026-10-25

## Useful for

- Run make test to simulate the unlock protocol offline without a GPU or sudo
- Analyze a card ROM dump with tools/rom_analyze.py to extract native firmware sections
- Collect GPU inventory metadata via tools/inventory.py using nvidia-smi and OS data

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-25 (UTC), 17:54–20:08: 128 → 136 stars (+8). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +9 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 0 days old and already has 136 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #178.
- About 10 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @crazyguitar (388 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 8
- Issues and pull requests: 3
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 9 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1

## Stars per day, last 1 day (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-25 … 2026-10-25: 8

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
