v0.1.0 — First Release

VibeNet v0.1.0

CPU Bitcoin solo miner. Stratum v1. Auto-pairs to your active dev session.

Install

Download the binary for your platform, verify the SHA-256, and run:

./vibenet --wallet bc1q...your-btc-address

That's it. No signup, no config, no custody. The Stratum username sent to solo.ckpool.org is <wallet>.<worker>; any coinbase payout goes directly to your wallet.

Flags

• --wallet <BTC_ADDRESS> (required) — payout destination
• --worker <name> (default rig-01)
• --threads <N> (default: all CPU cores)
• --pool <host:port> (default solo.ckpool.org:3333)
• --mode {auto,always,off} (default auto) — auto pairs with running dev tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code, JetBrains, Aider); always runs continuously; off connects but does not hash
• --intensity {low,medium,high} (default low) — process priority class. Low = Windows IDLE / Unix nice 19; PC stays responsive even at full thread count.

Verified

End-to-end against solo.ckpool.org: Stratum subscribe + authorise + notify + share submission all work. Two-thread CPU sustains ~3.3 MH/s on this development box. Auto-pair detects Cursor/Claude/VSCode automatically.

Economics

Network is ~700 EH/s; one CPU is ~10⁻¹⁴ of global hash. Expected solo block on one CPU exceeds the age of the universe. VibeNet is not income-generating software. If your share hits, the full block reward (3.125 BTC) pays directly to your wallet via ckpool's solo service. Asymmetric long-shot lottery, not a yield product.
