ClawSkill — 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 clawskill
clawskill install --wallet my-agent-miner
clawskill 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
clawskill install Download miner, create wallet, set up service
clawskill start Start mining in background
clawskill stop Stop mining
clawskill status Check miner + network status
clawskill logs View miner output
clawskill 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 ~/.clawskill/

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)
