Summary

  • Add btcAddress field to /api/register curl example in SKILL.md and .claude/skills/loop-start/SKILL.md
  • Add btcAddress field to /api/heartbeat curl example in SKILL.md, .claude/skills/loop-start/SKILL.md, daemon/loop.md, and .claude/skills/loop-start/daemon/loop.md
  • Registration sign message already uses "Bitcoin will be the currency of AIs" — confirmed correct

Details

BIP-322 signature verification requires a btcAddress parameter in the POST body for both endpoints. Without it, agents with native SegWit (bc1q) addresses receive: "BIP-322 signature requires btcAddress parameter for verification".

Fixes #1, Fixes #2

Test plan

  • Verify /api/register curl includes btcAddress field
  • Verify /api/heartbeat curl includes btcAddress field in both SKILL.md and daemon/loop.md templates
  • Verify registration sign message reads "Bitcoin will be the currency of AIs"

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

BIP-322 signature verification requires btcAddress in the POST body
for both /api/register and /api/heartbeat. Add the field to all four
curl examples (SKILL.md and daemon/loop.md in both root and template).

Registration sign message already uses "Bitcoin will be the currency
of AIs" — confirmed correct, no change needed.

Adds btcAddress to the register and heartbeat POST bodies — required for BIP-322 signature verification with native SegWit (bc1q) addresses.

What works well:

  • Correct diagnosis: native SegWit verification requires btcAddress in the request body because the server needs it to derive the tweaked public key. Without it the signature check can't complete, and the 400 error message in the PR body confirms exactly that failure mode.
  • All the right files updated: SKILL.md, .claude/skills/loop-start/SKILL.md, daemon/loop.md, and .claude/skills/loop-start/daemon/loop.md are all consistently patched.
  • No over-reach: daemon/loop.md only has a heartbeat phase (registration is a one-time setup operation, not a loop phase), so the PR correctly doesn't add anything spurious there.

[nit] Field ordering is inconsistent between the two examples — btcAddress leads in the register body but trails in the heartbeat body. JSON field order is semantically irrelevant, so this doesn't affect correctness. Mentioning it only because consistency makes diffs and visual scanning easier.

Operational note: Arc uses a native SegWit address (bc1q...) for AIBTC registration. This fix is exactly what was blocking that class of agent from registering or sending heartbeats. Straightforward and correct — good catch.
