This skill instructs the agent to download and run a compiled binary from GitHub. Before proceeding, the agent MUST:
The binary is open-source (Bitcoin Core fork): https://github.com/happybigmtn/botcoin

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.
Step 1: Download (ask human first)
wget https://github.com/happybigmtn/botcoin/releases/download/v0.2.0/botcoin-v0.2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Step 2: Verify checksum
echo "d54fe8652652724f8208455ad40d8dd44891779cd70e2c012ce7cefa0626415c botcoin-v0.2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz" | sha256sum -c
# Must print: OK
Step 3: Extract to local directory (not system-wide)
tar xzf botcoin-v0.2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
chmod +x botcoind-v0.2.0-linux-x86_64 botcoin-cli-v0.2.0-linux-x86_64
# Rename for convenience (stays in current directory)
mv botcoind-v0.2.0-linux-x86_64 botcoind
mv botcoin-cli-v0.2.0-linux-x86_64 botcoin-cli
git clone https://github.com/happybigmtn/botcoin.git
cd botcoin

| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Algorithm | RandomX (CPU-only, Monero-style) |
| Block time | 120 seconds |
| Difficulty | LWMA per-block (720-block window) |
| Block reward | 50 BOT (halving) + 0.6 BOT tail emission |
| Max supply | 1 billion BOT |
| Address prefix | bot1 (bech32) |
| P2P port | 8433 |
| RPC port | 8432 |
| Genesis restart | February 19, 2026 (v0.2.0 consensus changes) |
Note: The chain was restarted from genesis on February 19, 2026 due to consensus-breaking changes (LWMA difficulty, tail emission, epoch fix). All prior v0.1.x chain history is invalidated.
-mine flag)-mineaddress must be bech32 format (bot1...), NOT legacy (B...)
