ClawSkill — Mine RTC Tokens With Your AI Agent

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

Security & Transparency

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

# Preview what will happen — nothing installed
clawskill install --dry-run

# Show SHA256 hashes of bundled files
clawskill install --verify

| Concern | How We Address It |

|---------|-------------------|

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| Network endpoint | The RustChain node uses a CA-signed TLS certificate (Let's Encrypt). All communication is standard HTTPS with certificate verification. |

What Data Is Collected

During attestation (every few minutes when mining), the following is sent to the RustChain node:

• CPU model name and architecture (e.g. "AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS", "x86_64")
• Clock timing variance (coefficient of variation — proves real oscillator, not emulated)
• Cache latency profile (proves real L1/L2/L3 hierarchy)
• VM detection flags (hypervisor present: yes/no)
• Wallet name (your chosen identifier)

NOT collected: file contents, browsing history, credentials, IP geolocation, personal data, or anything from your filesystem.

Clean Uninstall

clawskill uninstall   # Removes ALL files, services, and configs

Install

# Python (recommended)
pip install clawskill

# Node.js
npm install -g clawskill

Setup

# Install miner + configure wallet (shows disclosure, asks consent)
clawskill install --wallet my-agent-miner

# Start mining in foreground (Ctrl+C to stop)
clawskill start

# Or: start with background auto-restart (opt-in)
clawskill start --service

How It Works

1. Hardware Fingerprinting — 6 cryptographic checks prove your machine is real:
• Clock-skew & oscillator drift
• Cache timing fingerprint (L1/L2/L3 latency)
• SIMD unit identity (SSE/AVX/AltiVec/NEON bias)
• Thermal drift entropy
• Instruction path jitter (microarchitectural)
• Anti-emulation behavioral checks

1. Automatic Attestation — Your agent attests to the RustChain network every few minutes

1. Per-Epoch Rewards — RTC tokens accumulate in your wallet each epoch (~10 minutes)

1. VM Detection — Virtual machines are detected and receive effectively zero rewards. Real iron only.

Multipliers

| Hardware | Multiplier | Notes |

|----------|-----------|-------|

| Modern x86/ARM | 1.0x | Standard rate — this is you |

| Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) | 1.2x | Slight bonus |

| IBM POWER8 | 1.5x | Server-class vintage |

| PowerPC G5 | 2.0x | Vintage bonus |

| PowerPC G4 | 2.5x | Maximum vintage bonus |

| VM/Emulator | ~0x | Detected and penalized |

Commands

| Command | Description |

|---------|-------------|

| clawskill install | Extract miner, create wallet (consent prompt, no service by default) |

| clawskill install --service | Install + create background service |

| clawskill install --dry-run | Preview without making any changes |

| clawskill install --verify | Show SHA256 hashes of bundled files |

| clawskill start | Start mining in foreground |

| clawskill start --service | Start + create auto-restart service |

| clawskill stop | Stop mining |

| clawskill status | Check miner + network status + file hashes |

| clawskill logs | View miner output |

| clawskill uninstall | Remove everything cleanly |

What Gets Installed

• Miner scripts bundled with the package (2 Python files, no external downloads)
• Python virtual environment with one dependency (requests)
• All files stored in ~/.clawskill/ (user-scoped, no root needed)
• No background service unless you pass --service

Requirements

• Python 3.8+ (installed on most systems)
• Linux or macOS
• Real hardware (not a VM)
