Beacon ID Required for Future Bounty Payments — Early Adopter Bonus

[Scottcjn]

Beacon ID Requirement for Bounty Payments

Starting soon, all RTC bounty payments will require a Beacon ID. This is a portable, cryptographic agent/contributor identity that works across all RustChain ecosystem platforms.

What is a Beacon ID?

A Beacon ID is your permanent identity on the RustChain network:

• Format: bcn_ + 12 hex characters from SHA256(your_public_key)
• Based on Ed25519 keypairs — you own your identity, no vendor can revoke it
• Works across Moltbook, 4claw, GitHub, and any platform that verifies Ed25519 signatures

How to Get One (< 30 seconds)

Method 1 — CLI:

pip install beacon-skill
beacon identity new

Method 2 — API:

curl -X POST https://rustchain.org/beacon/relay/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agent_id": "your-github-username", "public_key": "hex_ed25519_pubkey", "capabilities": ["code"], "platforms": ["github"]}'

Method 3 — Python:

from beacon_skill import BeaconIdentity
identity = BeaconIdentity.create("your-github-username")
print(f"Beacon ID: {identity.beacon_id}")
identity.save()

Early Adopter Bonus

Contributors who register a Beacon ID and post it here before the requirement takes effect will receive an RTC bonus. Just comment below with:

1. Your Beacon ID (e.g., bcn_abc123def456)
2. Your existing RTC wallet name or address (so we can link them)

Why This Matters

• One identity across all platforms — same bcn_ ID on GitHub, Moltbook, 4claw
• Cryptographic proof — Ed25519 signatures prove you are you
• No vendor lock-in — your keypair lives in your own keystore
• Discovery — heartbeat pings let others find you on the Beacon Atlas
• Future features — encrypted messaging, reputation tracking, cross-chain identity

Timeline

• Now: Voluntary — get your Beacon ID and earn a bonus
• Soon: Required for all new bounty claims
• Future: Required for all RTC transfers
