What This Skill Does
Botcoin is a CPU-mineable cryptocurrency built as a Bitcoin Core fork, using the RandomX algorithm with per-block LWMA difficulty adjustment and a permanent tail emission of 0.6 BOT per block. The skill walks an agent through downloading or building the node binary, verifying checksums, creating a wallet, and starting the miner on a Linux machine.
The skill enforces checksum verification and human approval before any binary is downloaded or executed, reducing the risk of running tampered files.
When to use it
- Mine BOT tokens on an idle Linux server using spare CPU cycles
- Set up a local Botcoin full node to participate in the network
- Check current mining hashrate and wallet balance from the command line
- Recover a node that accidentally synced to the pre-February-2026 chain fork
- Build the Botcoin daemon from source for a transparent, auditable install
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Set up Botcoin mining on my Linux machine with 4 threads
- 1Ask for human approval before downloading anything
- 2Download botcoin-v0.2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz from the GitHub release page
- 3Verify the SHA256 checksum matches d54fe865... and abort if it does not
- 4Extract the archive, make binaries executable, and start botcoind in daemon mode connected to seed nodes
- 5Create a miner wallet, derive a bech32 address, stop the node, then restart it with -mine -minethreads=4 -mineaddress set
Botcoin daemon running in mining mode; botcoin-cli getmininginfo confirms active hashing and the wallet shows a pending coinbase balance after 100 confirmations
