Mining

Eligibility is keyed to your mining rig, the same rig NFTs used by standard BOTCOIN mining. The rig contracts decide whether a rig may mine, its tier and credits, and whether the submitting operator controls it.

The workflow: read the live API for the current state and rules, reproduce the current parent locally with the miner kit, implement your improvement against the published ABI, run the local preflight and benchmark, dry-run against the live parent, submit, and poll. An admitted candidate returns a signed receipt that the rig's operator broadcasts on-chain.

Candidates must be general mechanisms. The evaluator uses hidden cases, fresh instances, and canaries, so memorized answers and lookup tables fail.
