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.
Install
# Python (recommended)
pip install clawskill
# Node.js
npm install -g clawskill
Setup
# Install miner + configure wallet
clawskill install --wallet my-agent-miner
# Start mining in background
clawskill start
Your agent is now mining RTC. That's it.
How It Works
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
Automatic Attestation — Your agent attests to the RustChain network every few minutes
Per-Epoch Rewards — RTC tokens accumulate in your wallet each epoch (~10 minutes)
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 |

Why VMs Are Penalized
RustChain uses Proof-of-Antiquity (PoA) consensus. The network rewards machines that bring real compute — physical CPUs with genuine timing characteristics, thermal profiles, and instruction path jitter. VMs flatten all of these signals, making them trivially detectable via the 6 fingerprint checks.
This prevents "VM farms" from gaming rewards. If you want to earn RTC, run on bare metal.
