aimine

What This Skill Does

The aimine skill is a comprehensive automation tool designed for OpenClaw users to manage their Proof of AI Work (PoAIW) mining operations on the BNB Chain. By abstracting away the underlying technical complexities, the agent handles the entire lifecycle of the AIT miner. It manages repository cloning, dependency installation, configuration of cryptographic and API keys, and background process management. Users can initiate, monitor, and terminate mining sessions through natural language commands without ever touching a terminal window or manual configuration files.

Installation

To install this skill directly within your OpenClaw environment, use the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/nancyuahon/aimine. Once the skill is installed, it becomes an available tool for your agent to execute commands. Ensure your environment has Node.js and npm pre-installed, as the skill utilizes these to manage the underlying miner packages. You can define your environment variables (PRIVATE_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY) directly within the OpenClaw skill configuration settings to enable seamless, authenticated mining sessions without needing to re-enter your sensitive keys repeatedly.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for users looking to participate in decentralized AI mining initiatives without requiring advanced system administration skills. It is perfect for users who want to "set and forget" their mining operations, as the agent can handle status checks and balance reporting. It is also well-suited for automated monitoring; you can ask the agent to check your mining status periodically, and it will interact with the local web API (port 3000) to retrieve real-time performance data and your current AIT balance.

Example Prompts

1. "Install the AIT miner for me and configure it using my environment variables."
2. "Check my current mining status and show me my total AIT balance."
3. "Start mining now using the keys I just provided in the settings."

Tips & Limitations

The aimine skill relies on a local installation directory, typically located at ~/PoAIW. Always ensure your environment is initialized correctly before starting the mining process. If you encounter authentication errors, ensure your OpenAI API key follows the standard 'sk-' format and that there are no hidden spaces in your configuration. Note that the miner exposes a local-only web interface on port 3000; ensure no other services are occupying this port. Because this skill executes shell commands, it is designed for environments where you trust the OpenClaw agent permissions.
