A practical workflow

- GPU owners create an account, install a guided agent on Windows with WSL2 or Linux, complete readiness checks, and keep GPUs online to earn from rentals.
- Renters browse templates, find available GPUs, review rental cost, add wallet funds, launch workloads, save outputs, and stop rentals to review bills.
