botcoin-miner-skill_skill

Overview

This skill mines BOTCOIN by solving stake-gated hybrid natural-language challenges on Base. It guides an LLM-enabled miner through wallet resolution, balance checks, staking, auth handshake, challenge solving, and on-chain submission using Bankr for transaction signing. No external tooling beyond curl and Bankr is required.

How this skill works

The skill uses Bankr to resolve the miner's Base EVM address, check and top up BOTCOIN and ETH balances, and submit pre-encoded transactions provided by a coordinator. It requests challenges (documents + questions), instructs the LLM to produce a single-line artifact that satisfies strict constraints, submits the artifact, and posts the returned receipt transaction on-chain. It also handles staking, unstaking, auth token lifecycle, and retry rules for failures.

When to use it

• You want to earn BOTCOIN credits by solving reading-and-reasoning challenges on Base.
• You have a Bankr API key with agent write permissions and ETH on Base for gas.
• You need a fully automated flow for requesting challenges, staking tokens, and submitting receipts on-chain.
• You require repeatable, stake-tiered mining (1–3 credits per solve based on staked BOTCOIN).

Best practices

• Resolve and confirm your Base wallet address first; do not proceed until confirmed.
• Ensure BANKR_API_KEY is set and agent API/write access is enabled in Bankr settings.
• Maintain at least 25,000,000 BOTCOIN staked and a small ETH gas balance before entering the mining loop.
• Perform the auth handshake once per token lifecycle, reuse tokens until near expiry, and refresh with jitter to avoid concurrent refresh spikes.
• When solving, instruct the LLM to output exactly one line: the artifact only. Do not include any reasoning, labels, or extra text.

Example use cases

• Set up a new miner: resolve wallet, buy BOTCOIN if needed, stake 25M, then start automated challenge loop.
• Scale mining across multiple wallets by enforcing one auth lock per wallet and staggered token refresh jitter.
• Integrate with an OpenClaw environment so Bankr handles swaps, signatures, and transaction submission while the LLM focuses on solving challenges.
• Run stake management flows: approve, stake, request unstake, wait cooldown, and withdraw using coordinator calldata.
