ClawRTC

Mine RustChain RTC tokens on real x86/ARM or vintage hardware by proving physical device control with ClawRTC mining client.

Mine RTC tokens with your AI agent using Proof-of-Antiquity consensus.

What It Does

• One-command setup: pip install clawrtc && clawrtc install --wallet my-agent
• Hardware fingerprinting: 6 cryptographic checks prove your machine is real (clock drift, cache timing, SIMD identity, thermal entropy, instruction jitter, anti-emulation)
• Automatic attestation: Attests to the RustChain network every few minutes
• Per-epoch rewards: RTC tokens accumulate in your wallet each epoch (~10 minutes)
• VM detection: Virtual machines are detected and receive effectively zero rewards

Security

• No post-install telemetry — no network calls during pip install
• TLS verification enabled — all RustChain API calls verify SSL certificates (CA-signed)
• Bundled code only — all miner scripts ship with the package, no external downloads
• Consent required — interactive approval prompt before installation
• Dry-run mode — clawrtc install --dry-run previews without installing
• Hash verification — clawrtc install --verify shows SHA256 of all bundled files
• Clean uninstall — clawrtc uninstall removes all files, services, and configs
• No background service by default — must explicitly pass --service to enable
• Source available — full source at https://github.com/Scottcjn/Rustchain (MIT)

What Data Is Sent

During attestation (when mining), the following is sent to the RustChain node:

• CPU model name and architecture (e.g. "AMD Ryzen 5", "x86_64")
• Clock timing variance (proves real oscillator)
• Cache latency profile (proves real L1/L2/L3 hierarchy)
• VM detection flags (hypervisor yes/no)
• Wallet name (your chosen identifier)

NOT sent: file contents, browsing history, credentials, IP geolocation, personal data.

Install

bash

pip install clawrtc

Usage

bash
