Bug Report: rustchain-miner.py --dry-run --verbose flag not recognized

Severity: Low
Component: CLI argument parsing
Environment: Linux, Python 3.x

Summary

The rustchain-miner.py script does not recognize the --verbose flag when run in dry-run mode. The flag is not defined in the argument parser.

Steps to Reproduce

python3 rustchain_linux_miner.py --dry-run --verbose

Expected Behavior

The --verbose flag should enable verbose output showing API endpoint being called, request headers/payload, and response details.

Actual Behavior

error: unrecognized arguments: --verbose

Suggested Fix

Add --verbose to the argument parser:

parser.add_argument('--verbose', action='store_true', help='Enable verbose output')
