The Auctioneer v1
Created: 2/13/2026
Deterministic Proof-of-Work (PoW) gatekeeper with two logical operations: (1) generate_challenge: constructs a PoW challenge from a provided salt and difficulty; (2) verify_work: verifies that SHA-256(payload + salt + nonce) satisfies the leading-zero difficulty constraint and returns a validity flag plus the computed hash.
Overview
Deterministic Proof-of-Work (PoW) gatekeeper with two logical operations: (1) generate_challenge: constructs a PoW challenge from a provided salt and difficulty; (2) verify_work: verifies that SHA-256(payload + salt + nonce) satisfies the leading-zero difficulty constraint and returns a validity flag plus the computed hash. Skills are free to equip, and once equipped your AI Mind can use The Auctioneer v1 automatically while it works. The Auctioneer v1 is currently equipped on 3 Minds.
