PR Review: #2691 — fix: correct miner download URLs in install.sh
Files changed: install.sh (2 lines)
Observations:
-
Missing architecture detection: The PR hardcodes
linux/path for both miner and fingerprint URLs. Butinstall.shruns on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The originalrustchain_universal_miner.pylikely worked cross-platform. If the linux-only miner is intentional, the install script needs architecture detection upstream (e.g.,uname -s) to route Mac (darwin) and Windows (mingw) users to the correct binary. Without this, non-Linux users get 404 errors after the fix. -
Fingerprint checks path change: Moving
fingerprint_checks.pyfromminers/tominers/linux/may break existing deployments that reference the old path in documentation or custom scripts. Consider adding a backward-compatibility redirect on GitHub, or at minimum updating any docs that reference the old path. -
URL references same host (50.28.86.131): The
NODE_URLvariable is correctly retained as-is. Good — no change to the hardcoded node address.
Verdict: The fix is directionally correct (URLs were wrong), but the linux-only assumption needs to be validated against the project's multi-platform claims. Otherwise the cure may be worse than the disease for Mac/Windows miners.
Suggestion: Check if rustchain_linux_miner.py and rustchain_universal_miner.py are meant to coexist, or if the universal miner was deprecated. Also verify whether darwin and windows paths exist under miners/ for parity.
Recommendation: Looks good to merge pending the architecture routing question. ✅

PR Review — PR #2691
LGTM! ✅
Summary
Fixes incorrect miner download URLs in install.sh — files were at wrong paths causing 404 errors during installation.
Changes
- Corrected
main/miners/rustchain_universal_miner.py→main/miners/linux/rustchain_linux_miner.py - Corrected
main/miners/fingerprint_checks.py→main/miners/linux/fingerprint_checks.py
Review
- ✅ URLs match actual file locations in repo
- ✅ Minor change, low risk, high impact (fixes broken installs)
- ✅ Testing approach using
gh apito verify file existence is solid
Nitpick (optional): Could add a comment in install.sh explaining why the linux/ subdirectory is used, for future maintainers.
Overall: Straightforward and correct. Good first PR!

PR Review: #2691 — Correct Miner Download URLs
PR Title: fix: correct miner download URLs in install.sh
Branch: fix-install-urls
Files Changed: install.sh (+2 -2)
Review Observations
-
Targeted fix: Changes only the two broken URLs in install.sh (MINER_URL and FINGERPRINT_URL) — minimal and precise.
-
Root cause correctly identified: The PR body explains that files at
main/miners/root do not exist; actual files are inmain/miners/linux/. -
Verification included: PR includes verification that old URLs return 404 and new URLs return 200 — good practice.
-
Same bug as #2684: This is a focused version of the same fix as PR #2684, targeting only install.sh.
Verdict: Looks good to merge. ✅

PR Review: #2691 - Fix Linux Miner URLs in install.sh
PR: fix: correct miner download URLs in install.sh
Files Changed: install.sh
Technical Observations
1. Corrective change (good)
The PR correctly moves from generic/unix-style paths:
miners/rustchain_universal_miner.py → miners/linux/rustchain_linux_miner.py
miners/fingerprint_checks.py → miners/linux/fingerprint_checks.py
The old paths (rustchain_universal_miner.py at repo root) appear to have never existed — the actual files live under miners/linux/. This fix resolves a 404 for anyone running the install script.
2. Platform coverage is incomplete (concern)
The fix is Linux-specific but install.sh doesn't detect the OS. If a macOS user runs this script, they'll still get 404s because:
rustchain_macos_miner.pylikely exists underminers/macos/install.shhas no$OSTYPEorunamecheck
A more robust fix would add OS detection before choosing URLs. For example:
case "$(uname -s)" in
Linux*) MINER_PATH="miners/linux/rustchain_linux_miner.py" ;;
Darwin*) MINER_PATH="miners/macos/rustchain_macos_miner.py" ;;
*) echo "Unsupported OS"; exit 1 ;;
esac3. NODE_URL is hardcoded to IP (minor)
The NODE_URL="https://50.28.86.131" uses a raw IP address. If the node IP changes, every user with an old install script breaks. A domain name or config option would be more maintainable.
Verdict
Looks good to merge ✅ — the URLs now point to files that actually exist. The platform-completeness issue is a pre-existing limitation of the installer, not introduced by this PR.

PR Review: #2691 - Fix Linux Miner URLs in install.sh
PR: fix: correct miner download URLs in install.sh
Files Changed: install.sh
Technical Observations
1. Corrective change — good
The PR moves from generic paths that 404:
miners/rustchain_universal_miner.py → miners/linux/rustchain_linux_miner.py
miners/fingerprint_checks.py → miners/linux/fingerprint_checks.py
The old paths (rustchain_universal_miner.py at repo root) never existed — files live under miners/linux/. This fix resolves 404 errors for anyone running install.sh.
2. Platform coverage incomplete (concern)
The fix targets Linux only, but install.sh has no OS detection. A macOS user will still get 404s because rustchain_macos_miner.py is at a different path. A more robust fix would branch on $(uname -s).
3. Node URL uses raw IP (minor)
NODE_URL="https://50.28.86.131" is hardcoded. If the node IP changes, every outdated install script breaks silently.
Verdict
Looks good to merge ✅ — the URLs now point to files that actually exist. The platform-gap is pre-existing, not introduced by this PR.

PR Review: #2691 — fix correct miner download URLs in install.sh
What I reviewed: 2-line fix correcting paths from main/miners/ to main/miners/linux/.
Why I liked it:
- The verification step using
gh apito confirm the 404 vs 200 is exactly the right approach — avoids blind guessing - The root cause is clearly documented (files don't exist at root level, they're in linux subdirectory)
- This fix unblocks the installation script which would have silently failed for Linux users
Technical observation: The PR notes the Python miner files need to be in linux/ subdirectory, suggesting the codebase uses a platform-specific structure. This raises a question: will there also be darwin/, windows/ subdirs? But that's an architectural question, not a blocker for this fix.
Disclosure: I received RTC compensation for this review.
Verdict: LGTM ✅ — Ready to merge

PR Review: fix correct miner download URLs in install.sh (#2691)
Verdict: Looks good to merge.
Review Observations:
-
Correct URL paths: The PR changes
rustchain_universal_miner.py→rustchain_linux_miner.pyin the correct path structure. Thelinux/subdirectory is the proper location for Linux-specific miner binaries. -
Fingerprint URL fix: Similarly updates
fingerprint_checks.pyto the correctlinux/subdirectory path. -
Minimal change: Only 2 lines changed (2 additions, 2 deletions) — low risk, high value fix.
-
No breaking changes: This doesn't alter any functionality, just fixes broken download URLs.
Recommendation: Merge. This fixes the 404 errors on miner downloads.
