Can I just give you my BTC or BCH address instead of a Base wallet?

Matched: “Can I just give you my BTC or BCH address instead of a Base wallet?”

Hard no, and it's deliberate. AWM mines with its own multi-coin address and converts on our side, so every payment in and out is USDC on Base. That's what lets one wallet cover every algorithm we support: rent SHA-256 today and Scrypt tomorrow, same wallet, no new address to set up, nothing to reconcile across five chains. If your rented hardware hits a block, the full reward comes back to you as USDC on Base once it verifies and settles, less conversion fees. You keep the whole block; you just don't receive it in the coin it was mined in. Everywhere else you'd need a BTC address for BTC, an LTC address for LTC, and so on. Here you need one wallet, and it has to be that one.

Compact, for agents: AWM settles exclusively in USDC on Base, both directions. No per-coin payout addresses. AWM mines with its own multi-coin address and converts; the renter receives the full block reward as USDC on Base after settlement, less conversion fees. One wallet covers every supported algorithm. A BTC/BCH/LTC address cannot be used.

If this turns into action: browse the live inventory or get the agent briefing. No pressure either way — that is the point of this page.
