[BOUNTY] Bring a Friend to Mine — 10 RTC per Referral (Pool: 300 RTC) #167
Description
Refer a Miner — 10 RTC per Referral (Pool: 300 RTC)
Bring a friend, coworker, or community member who runs a RustChain miner for at least 48 hours. You earn 10 RTC, they earn mining rewards + can claim the 7-day mining bounty too.
How It Works
- Get someone to install and run the miner (`pip install clawrtc`)
- They must mine for at least 48 hours (~288 epochs)
- They comment on this issue saying: "Referred by @YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME" + their miner ID
- You comment confirming the referral + your RTC wallet address
Rules
- The new miner must be a real person with a GitHub account older than 7 days
- Real hardware only — no VMs
- 48 hours minimum mining (verified via attestation records)
- Max 5 referrals per person (50 RTC cap per referrer)
- Both parties must be different people (we check IP/hardware fingerprints)
Payout
| Who | Amount |
|---|---|
| You (referrer) | 10 RTC per verified referral |
| Your friend (new miner) | Regular mining rewards + eligible for 7-day bounty (15 RTC) |
A friend mining on a PowerBook G4 could earn ~40 RTC/day in rewards alone — the referral bounty is just the cherry on top.
Tips for Recruiting
- Got a friend with old Macs? G4s and G5s earn 2-2.5x more than modern PCs
- Hackerspaces and retrocomputing clubs are perfect targets
- LUG (Linux User Groups) members often have vintage hardware
- r/VintageApple, r/retrobattlestations, r/homelab communities
Pool
300 RTC = 30 referral slots. When the pool's gone, it's gone.
