clawrtc 1.7.1

ClawRTC — Let your AI agent mine RTC tokens on any modern hardware. Built-in wallet, VM-penalized.

ClawRTC — Mine RTC Tokens With Your AI Agent

Your Claw agent can earn RTC (RustChain Tokens) by proving it runs on real hardware. One command to install, automatic attestation, built-in wallet.

Quick Start

pip install clawrtc
clawrtc install --wallet my-agent-miner
clawrtc start

That's it. Your agent is now mining RTC.

How It Works

1. Hardware Fingerprinting — 6 cryptographic checks prove your machine is real hardware (clock drift, cache timing, SIMD identity, thermal drift, instruction jitter, anti-emulation)
2. Attestation — Your agent automatically attests to the RustChain network every few minutes
3. Rewards — RTC tokens accumulate in your wallet each epoch (~10 minutes)
4. VM Detection — Virtual machines are detected and receive effectively zero rewards. Real iron only.

Multipliers

Hardware	Multiplier	Notes
Modern x86/ARM	1.0x	Standard reward rate
Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)	1.2x	Slight bonus
PowerPC G5	2.0x	Vintage bonus
PowerPC G4	2.5x	Maximum vintage bonus
VM/Emulator	~0x	Detected and penalized

Commands

Command	Description
clawrtc install	Download miner, create wallet, set up service
clawrtc start	Start mining in background
clawrtc stop	Stop mining
clawrtc status	Check miner + network status
clawrtc logs	View miner output
clawrtc uninstall	Remove everything

What Gets Installed

• Miner scripts from RustChain repo
• Python virtual environment with requests dependency
• Systemd user service (Linux) or LaunchAgent (macOS)
• All files in ~/.clawrtc/

VM Warning

RustChain uses Proof-of-Antiquity (PoA) consensus. The hardware fingerprint system detects:

• QEMU / KVM / VMware / VirtualBox / Xen / Hyper-V
• Hypervisor CPU flags
• DMI vendor strings
• Flattened timing distributions

If you're running in a VM, the miner will install and attest, but your rewards will be effectively zero. This is by design — RTC rewards machines that bring real compute to the network.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Linux or macOS (Windows installer coming soon)
• Real hardware (not a VM)

Links

• RustChain Network
• Block Explorer
• GitHub
