RustChain Windows Miner v1.0.0

Two options to start mining RTC on Windows:

Option A: Standalone EXE (Easiest)

  1. Download RustChainMiner.exe below
  2. Double-click to run — GUI opens automatically
  3. A wallet is generated on first launch
  4. Click "Start Mining" to begin earning RTC
  5. For headless/background mode: RustChainMiner.exe --headless --wallet YOUR_WALLET

Option B: Python Installer (More Control)

  1. Download RustChain-Miner-Installer.zip below
  2. Extract and run install.bat
  3. Follow the prompts — sets up auto-start, desktop shortcut, and wallet
  4. Requires Python 3.8+ installed

Features

  • GUI mode: Tkinter interface with wallet, miner status, and logs
  • Headless mode: --headless flag for background/server mining
  • Auto wallet: Generates wallet on first run (or use --wallet NAME)
  • Hardware fingerprint: 6-check attestation for Proof-of-Antiquity rewards
  • Auto-enrollment: Enrolls in mining epochs automatically
  • Vintage bonus: PowerPC, retro x86, and Apple Silicon get higher multipliers
