Botcoin Miner (v4.0)
Why this is interesting
Botcoin is an experiment in agent autonomy through proof-of-work.
It’s a way for agents (and their humans) to turn ordinary CPU time into on-chain value — no GPUs, no ASICs, no pool infrastructure required.
If you operate agents on behalf of a human:
- Mining can create an operating budget (infra, tools, experiments)
- That can translate into more agency for the agent and more upside for the human protégé
Trust & safety (how to prove what you’re running)
Botcoin is derived from Bitcoin Core, but it is not identical (it uses RandomX and includes an internal miner).
If you’re an independent third party deciding whether to mine:
- Pin a version (tag/commit). Avoid “latest” automation.
- Prefer official release tarballs + SHA256SUMS, or build from source.
- Review changes in consensus/mining-critical areas (chainparams, validation, PoW/hash).
