The Rig
Your machine grinds the seam target. Nothing leaves this tab until a nonce is worth submitting, and the one transaction that follows is the only thing that costs you anything.

An epoch pays nothing while it is open. When it seals, each seam's slice is divided by the work proved on it, and the claim appears here. The figure above is what you would take if it sealed right now; it moves as others mine. Nothing expires.

What the rig is actually doing
Every candidate is one Keccak-256 of the same 144 bytes, with only the last word moving:
keccak256(
uint256 chainId, // 4663, so a proof is worthless anywhere else
address mine, // this contract
uint64 epoch, // the epoch it was found in
uint256 seamId, // the seam whose target it clears
address miner, // you, so nobody can lift it from the mempool
uint256 nonce // the part the rig moves
)A nonce counts when that digest is at or below the seam target, which is 2^256 - 1 divided by the seam difficulty. The contract recomputes the same hash and rejects anything that does not clear, so the only way to hold a proof is to have found it.
The rig runs in a worker thread and yields between slices, so the tab stays responsive and the page keeps answering. Closing the tab stops it. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent anywhere until you sign the submission yourself.
