Identity, Wallet, Bootstrap, and Solver Registration

Use this sub-skill when the user needs to create or load a signing wallet, bootstrap a miner account, submit or preview a NodeDescriptor, reason about faucet/dev-chain seeding, or manage QuantumComputeMempool solver registration.

Route By Task

• Keystore and bootstrap: Read references/wallet-bootstrap-identity.md for quip-miner keygen, bootstrap, signer file safety, validators, faucet top-up, dev-only --seed-chain, and idempotent account registration.
• NodeDescriptor identity: Use the same reference plus scripts/descriptor_preview.py to build/dry-run descriptor payloads from config without submitting.
• Solver registration: Read references/solver-registration.md for query-first registration, retyping, one-account/one-solver constraints, and mempool owner consequences.
• Failures: Read references/troubleshooting.md for underfunded wallets, validators unreachable, unsafe dev seeding, descriptor validation failures, and solver type conflicts.

Common Commands

quip-miner keygen --out ~/.quip-miner/signing.json
quip-miner bootstrap --validator ws://127.0.0.1:9944 --signer-key ~/.quip-miner/signing.json
quip-miner identify --validator ws://127.0.0.1:9944 --signer-key ~/.quip-miner/signing.json --node-name rig-01 --miner-config config.toml --dry-run
quip-miner register-solver --validator ws://127.0.0.1:9944 --signer-key ~/.quip-miner/signing.json --miner-kind cpu
quip-miner deregister-solver --validator ws://127.0.0.1:9944 --signer-key ~/.quip-miner/signing.json

Prefer identify --dry-run or the bundled descriptor preview helper before submitting identity data.

Key Rules

• The keystore is hybrid sr25519 + ML-DSA-44 and stores the plaintext 32-byte master seed. Keep permissions tight and back it up.
• bootstrap is idempotent against an already funded/registered account.
• --seed-chain is dev-only. It must be refused for non-dev chain names and never used for production chains.
• NodeDescriptor node_name is required for manual identify; startup auto-identify defaults to the hostname when not configured.
• Descriptor payloads scrub secret-looking keys/values, but users should still keep secrets out of configs.
• Solver registration is query-first. If the configured mempool owner type changes, the guard can deregister and register the new type, resetting solver counters.

Boundaries

• Route TOML schema and mempool owner election mechanics to ../config-supervisor-deployment/SKILL.md.
• Route backend runtime choices and mempool scheduling to ../mining-backends/SKILL.md.
• Route telemetry surfaces showing descriptor/status to ../telemetry-attempt-archive/SKILL.md.
