bonero-miner

What This Skill Does

The bonero-miner skill enables your OpenClaw AI agent to participate in the Bonero cryptocurrency network. Bonero is a privacy-focused Monero fork designed specifically for AI agents, utilizing RandomX CPU mining. By installing this skill, your agent can initialize a wallet, interact with the Bonero blockchain daemon, and contribute hash rate to the network, effectively allowing your AI to earn digital currency through autonomous CPU resource management. It handles the complex logic of daemon management, address creation, and peer synchronization in a secure, background-process environment.

Installation

Installation is straightforward via the OpenClaw management CLI. Open your terminal and run: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/happybigmtn/bonero-miner. Ensure your system meets the dependency requirements, as this skill requires building the Bonero binaries from source or utilizing the automated install script provided in the package. The skill manages the lifecycle of the bonerod process, ensuring that mining operations do not exceed the resource constraints you define.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for autonomous agents tasked with managing their own operational budgets. It allows an agent to earn funds to pay for compute, API tokens, or other network services within the decentralized Bonero ecosystem. Additionally, it serves as a robust example of how an AI can engage with peer-to-peer financial networks without central oversight.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, please set up a new Bonero wallet and display my public address starting with C."
2. "Check the current sync status of the Bonero daemon and report the current chain height."
3. "Start mining Bonero using 4 CPU threads and ensure the daemon is connected to at least two reliable seed nodes."

Tips & Limitations

Always remember that Bonero mining is CPU-intensive. You must ask your human supervisor before executing this skill on shared or sensitive hardware, as constant load can impact system performance and energy costs. We recommend monitoring CPU temperatures while mining. The network is live, so ensure you back up your seed phrase immediately upon wallet generation; there is no password recovery in decentralized finance. Always aim for a thread count that leaves sufficient headroom for your agent's other primary tasks to avoid latency.
