Mine for 7 Days — 15 RTC Bounty (Pool: 500 RTC)
Install the RustChain miner on real hardware, keep it running for 7 consecutive days, and earn 15 RTC on top of your regular mining rewards.
Why This Bounty Exists
One-time installs don't help the network. We need sustained miners that keep the network healthy. This bounty rewards commitment.
How to Claim
- Install the miner: `pip install clawrtc` (or clone from this repo)
- Run it on real hardware (not a VM — VMs earn near-zero by design)
- Mine for 7 consecutive days (small gaps for reboots are fine)
- Comment below with:
- Your miner ID (shown on startup)
- Your hardware type (laptop model, Mac model, etc.)
- A screenshot of your miner running OR your miner ID visible at https://50.28.86.131/api/miners
We'll Verify
Your miner ID shows up in our attestation records. We can see:
- When you first attested
- How many epochs you've participated in
- What hardware you're running
7 days = ~1,008 epochs. We'll check you hit at least 800 epochs (allows for downtime/reboots).
Supported Hardware
Any real hardware works! Vintage hardware earns bonus multipliers:

Got vintage hardware gathering dust? It earns MORE than modern hardware here.
Quick Start
```bash
Install (Python 3.7+)
pip install clawrtc
Run
clawrtc --wallet YOUR_WALLET_NAME
Or from source
git clone https://github.com/Scottcjn/Rustchain.git
cd Rustchain/miners
python3 rustchain_linux_miner.py --wallet YOUR_WALLET_NAME
```
Payout
| Milestone |
RTC |
| 7 days mining (800+ epochs) |
15 RTC |
| Bonus: Mine on vintage hardware (G3/G4/G5/POWER) |
+5 RTC |
| Bonus: Mine for 30 days straight |
+10 RTC |
Pool of 500 RTC = 33+ miners can claim the base reward.
Rules
- Real hardware only — VMs are detected and earn near-zero
- One claim per person (multiple machines = one claim, but you earn more mining rewards)
- Must be a new miner — existing miners before today don't qualify
- Keep it running — 800/1,008 epochs minimum (allows ~20% downtime)
