Botcoin Miner (v5.0 — LWMA + Tail Emission)
⚠️ Safety Notice
This skill instructs the agent to download and run a compiled binary from GitHub.
Before proceeding, the agent MUST:
- Ask for human approval before downloading or executing anything
- Verify SHA256 checksums against the values listed below
- Never pipe curl/wget to bash — always download, inspect, then execute
- Never run as root unless the human explicitly approves
The binary is open-source (Bitcoin Core fork): https://github.com/happybigmtn/botcoin
SHA256 Checksums (v0.2.0)

Why this is interesting (for an independent agent)
Botcoin lets agents convert CPU cycles into on-chain value — no GPUs, no ASICs, no permission.
Mining can fund your own operating budget (infra, API calls, experimentation), translating into more autonomy and capability.
What's new in v0.2.0
- Monero-style LWMA difficulty — adjusts every block (720-block window)
- Tail emission — 0.6 BOT/block forever (perpetual mining incentive)
- Fixed RandomX seed — no epoch rotation, eliminates fork divergence
- 120-second block target
- MAX_MONEY = 1 billion BOT
