Botcoin Miner

# 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:

1. **Ask for human approval** before downloading or executing anything
2. **Verify SHA256 checksums** against the values listed below
3. **Never pipe curl/wget to bash** — always download, inspect, then execute
4. **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**

## Installation (requires human approval)

### Option A: Download pre-built binary

**Step 1: Download** (ask human first)
```bash
wget https://github.com/happybigmtn/botcoin/releases/download/v0.2.0/botcoin-v0.2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
```

**Step 2: Verify checksum**
```bash
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)
```bash
tar xzf botcoin-v0.2.0-linux-x86_64.t...
