Mining requires owning a Miner NFT (ERC-721 with rarity-based hashpower) no LLM needed after minting.

- 1. **Ownership check** -- verifies your wallet owns the specified token.
405
- 2. **Supply check** -- confirms mineable supply is not exhausted.
406
- 3. **Fetch challenge** -- reads `getMiningChallenge()` from the AgentCoin contract, which returns:
407
- - `challengeNumber` (bytes32) -- the current PoW challenge hash
408
- - `miningTarget` (uint256) -- the difficulty target
409
- - `smhl` -- the SMHL format challenge
410
- 4. **Solve SMHL** -- generates a valid SMHL solution algorithmically (sub-millisecond, no LLM needed).
411
- 5. **Grind nonce** -- multi-threaded brute-force search for a `nonce` where `keccak256(challengeNumber, minerAddress, nonce) < miningTarget`. Uses all CPU cores by default.
412
- 6. **Submit proof** -- calls `mine(nonce, smhlSolution, tokenId)` on AgentCoin. The contract verifies both the hash and SMHL solution on-chain.
413
- 7. **Collect reward** -- AGENT tokens are minted directly to your wallet.
414
- 8. **Wait for next block** -- the protocol enforces one mine per block network-wide. The client waits for block advancement before the next cycle.

  **One rig per wallet (CLI-enforced).** The CLI prevents minting more than one rig per wallet. Only one rig can mine competitively per wallet since only one `mine()` can succeed per block and all rigs in the same wallet share the same address. Extra rigs waste ETH on mint fees with no advantage.

- ### Session Mining (Claude Code / Codex)
558
-
559
- Mine using your existing Claude Code or Codex subscription — no API key required:
560
-
561
- ```bash
562
- # In your .env
563
- LLM_PROVIDER=claude-code
564
- # No LLM_API_KEY needed — the miner shells out to your local CLI
565
- ```
566
-
567
- Or with Codex:
568
- ```bash
569
- LLM_PROVIDER=codex
570
- ```
571
-
572
- **How it works:** Instead of calling an LLM API, the miner executes `claude -p` or `codex exec` locally to solve SMHL challenges. This uses whatever model your CLI session defaults to.
573
-
574
- **Requirements:**
575
- - `claude` or `codex` CLI must be installed and authenticated
576
- - The CLI must be available in your PATH
577
- - Your subscription must be active
578
-
579
- **Warning:** Session-based providers (`claude-code`, `codex`) spawn a CLI subprocess for each SMHL challenge. The startup overhead frequently exceeds the 20-second mint challenge window, causing mints to fail with `Expired`. **For minting, always use an API-based provider** (openai, anthropic, gemini, deepseek, or qwen). Session providers may work for the mining loop (which has no time limit per challenge) but are unreliable and not recommended for autonomous operation.

+ ## 14. Dashboard
729
+
730
+ The `apow dashboard` command group provides a real-time web UI for monitoring your entire mining fleet. Zero external dependencies — it serves vanilla HTML/JS directly from the CLI.
731
+
732
+ ### Subcommands
733
+
734
+ | Command | Description |
735
+ |---------|-------------|
736
+ | `apow dashboard start` | Launch the dashboard web UI at `http://localhost:3847`. Auto-opens browser. Press Ctrl+C to stop. |
737
+ | `apow dashboard add <address>` | Add a wallet address to monitor. Validates 0x + 40 hex chars. |
738
+ | `apow dashboard remove <address>` | Remove a wallet address from monitoring. |
739
+ | `apow dashboard scan [dir]` | Auto-detect wallets from `wallet-0x*.txt` files in the given directory (default: CWD). Also scans `rig*/` subdirectories. |
740
+ | `apow dashboard wallets` | List all currently monitored wallet addresses. |
741
+
742
+ ### How It Works
743
+
744
+ - **Wallet storage:** `~/.apow/wallets.json` — a plain JSON array of Ethereum addresses.
745
+ - **Fleet management:** `~/.apow/fleets.json` — optional, defines named groups of wallets from different sources.
746
+ - **Data fetching:** Chunked RPC multicalls (max 30 per batch) with a 25-second TTL cache. Queries ETH balance, AGENT balance, rig ownership, rarity, hashpower, mine count, and earnings for every wallet.
747
+ - **NFT art:** Renders on-chain SVG art for each Mining Rig with rarity-based color coding.
748
+ - **Auto-seed:** On first run, seeds `wallets.json` with the address from your `.env` if configured.
749
+ - **Auto-detect:** `dashboard start` automatically scans CWD for `wallet-0x*.txt` files before launching.
750
+
751
+ ### Fleet Configuration (`~/.apow/fleets.json`)
752
+
753
+ For managing wallets across multiple machines or directories, create `~/.apow/fleets.json`:
754
+
755
+ ```json
756
+ [
757
+ { "name": "Local", "type": "array", "path": "/home/user/.apow/wallets.json" },
758
+ { "name": "Vast.ai Rigs", "type": "rigdirs", "path": "/mnt/mining/rigs" },
759
+ { "name": "Pool Wallets", "type": "walletfiles", "path": "/mnt/mining/wallets" },
760
+ { "name": "Solkek Fleet", "type": "solkek", "path": "/home/user/solkek-config.json" }
761
+ ]
762
+ ```
763
+
764
+ **Fleet types:**
765
+
766
+ | Type | Source Format | Description |
767
+ |------|--------------|-------------|
768
+ | `array` | JSON array of addresses | Simple list: `["0xABC...", "0xDEF..."]` |
769
+ | `solkek` | JSON with `master.address` + `miners[].address` | Solkek fleet manager format |
770
+ | `rigdirs` | Directory containing `rig*/wallet-0x*.txt` | Scan rig subdirectories for wallet files |
771
+ | `walletfiles` | Directory containing `wallet-0x*.txt` | Scan flat directory for wallet files |
772
+
773
+ If `fleets.json` does not exist, the dashboard falls back to `wallets.json` as a single "Main" fleet.
774
+
775
+ ### Example Workflow
776
+
777
+ ```bash
778
+ # 1. Scan a directory with wallet files to populate wallets.json
779
+ npx apow-cli dashboard scan /path/to/mining/dir
780
+
781
+ # 2. Manually add a wallet not found by scan
782
+ npx apow-cli dashboard add 0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678
783
+
784
+ # 3. Verify your wallet list
785
+ npx apow-cli dashboard wallets
786
+
787
+ # 4. Launch the dashboard
788
+ npx apow-cli dashboard start
789
+ # → Opens http://localhost:3847 in your browser
790
+ # → Shows real-time balances, rig stats, earnings, and NFT art
791
+ # → Press Ctrl+C to stop
792
+ ```
793
+
794
+ ### Troubleshooting
795
+
796
+ | Issue | Cause | Fix |
797
+ |-------|-------|-----|
798
+ | "No wallets configured" | Empty `wallets.json` | Run `apow dashboard add <addr>` or `apow dashboard scan .` |
799
+ | Dashboard shows 0 balances | RPC rate limiting | Set a dedicated `RPC_URL` in `.env` (Alchemy recommended) |
800
+ | Browser doesn't open | Headless/SSH environment | Manually open `http://localhost:3847` in a browser |
801
+ | Stale data | 25s cache TTL | Wait for next refresh cycle or restart the dashboard |
