ClawSkill — Mine RTC Tokens With Your AI Agent\r

\r Mine RTC (RustChain Tokens) by proving your agent runs on real hardware. One command to install, automatic attestation, built-in wallet.\r \r

Security & Transparency\r

\r This skill is open-source mining software, not malware. Before installing, you can verify everything:\r \r

# Preview what will happen — nothing installed\r
clawskill install --dry-run\r
\r
# Show SHA256 hashes of bundled files\r
clawskill install --verify\r
```\r
\r
| Concern | How We Address It |\r
|---------|-------------------|\r
| **Code origin** | All miner scripts are **bundled inside the package** — no external downloads at install time. Inspect them yourself in the `data/` directory. Source code: [RustChain GitHub repo](https://github.com/Scottcjn/Rustchain). |\r
| **Background service** | **Opt-in only.** Install does NOT create a service by default. You must explicitly pass `--service` to enable auto-start. Without it, the miner runs in the foreground only when you say so. |\r
| **Hardware fingerprinting** | Required for Proof-of-Antiquity consensus. Collects CPU model, timing variance, and cache latency — nothing personal. No files, passwords, browsing data, or credentials are accessed. Full disclosure shown before install with a consent prompt. |\r
| **Network endpoint** | The RustChain node uses a **CA-signed TLS certificate** (Let's Encrypt). All communication is standard HTTPS with certificate verification. |\r
\r
### What Data Is Collected\r
\r
During attestation (every few minutes when mining), the following is sent to the RustChain node:\r
\r
- CPU model name and architecture (e.g. "AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS", "x86_64")\r
- Clock timing variance (coefficient of variation — proves real oscillator, not emulated)\r
- Cache latency profile (proves real L1/L2/L3 hierarchy)\r
- VM detection flags (hypervisor present: yes/no)\r
- Wallet name (your chosen identifier)\r
\r
**NOT collected**: file contents, browsing history, credentials, IP geolocation, personal data, or anything from your filesystem.\r
\r
### Clean Uninstall\r
\r
```bash\r
clawskill uninstall   # Removes ALL files, services, and configs\r
```\r
\r
## Install\r
\r
```bash\r
# Python (recommended)\r
pip install clawskill\r
\r
# Node.js\r
npm install -g clawskill\r
```\r
\r
## Setup\r
\r
```bash\r
# Install miner + configure wallet (shows disclosure, asks consent)\r
clawskill install --wallet my-agent-miner\r
\r
# Start mining in foreground (Ctrl+C to stop)\r
clawskill start\r
\r
# Or: start with background auto-restart (opt-in)\r
clawskill start --service\r
```\r
\r
## How It Works\r
\r
1. **Hardware Fingerprinting** — 6 cryptographic checks prove your machine is real:\r
   - Clock-skew & oscillator drift\r
   - Cache timing fingerprint (L1/L2/L3 latency)\r
   - SIMD unit identity (SSE/AVX/AltiVec/NEON bias)\r
   - Thermal drift entropy\r
   - Instruction path jitter (microarchitectural)\r
   - Anti-emulation behavioral checks\r
\r
2. **Automatic Attestation** — Your agent attests to the RustChain network every few minutes\r
\r
3. **Per-Epoch Rewards** — RTC tokens accumulate in your wallet each epoch (~10 minutes)\r
\r
4. **VM Detection** — Virtual machines are detected and receive effectively zero rewards. Real iron only.\r
\r
## Multipliers\r
\r
| Hardware | Multiplier | Notes |\r
|----------|-----------|-------|\r
| Modern x86/ARM | **1.0x** | Standard rate — this is you |\r
| Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) | **1.2x** | Slight bonus |\r
| IBM POWER8 | **1.5x** | Server-class vintage |\r
| PowerPC G5 | **2.0x** | Vintage bonus |\r
| PowerPC G4 | **2.5x** | Maximum vintage bonus |\r
| **VM/Emulator** | **~0x** | **Detected and penalized** |\r
\r
## Commands\r
\r
| Command | Description |\r
|---------|-------------|\r
| `clawskill install` | Extract miner, create wallet (consent prompt, no service by default) |\r
| `clawskill install --service` | Install + create background service |\r
| `clawskill install --dry-run` | Preview without making any changes |\r
| `clawskill install --verify` | Show SHA256 hashes of bundled files |\r
| `clawskill start` | Start mining in foreground |\r
| `clawskill start --service` | Start + create auto-restart service |\r
| `clawskill stop` | Stop mining |\r
| `clawskill status` | Check miner + network status + file hashes |\r
| `clawskill logs` | View miner output |\r
| `clawskill uninstall` | Remove everything cleanly |\r
\r
## What Gets Installed\r
\r
- Miner scripts **bundled with the package** (2 Python files, no external downloads)\r
- Python virtual environment with one dependency (`requests`)\r
- All files stored in `~/.clawskill/` (user-scoped, no root needed)\r
- **No background service unless you pass `--service`**\r
\r
## Requirements\r
\r
- Python 3.8+ (installed on most systems)\r
- Linux or macOS\r
- Real hardware (not a VM)\r
