# Verify installation
aitbc --version
aitbc --debug
```

## 2. Register & Start

```bash
# Enhanced miner registration
aitbc miner register \
  --name my-gpu \
  --gpu v100 \
  --count 1 \
  --region us-west \
  --price-per-hour 0.05

# Start accepting jobs
aitbc miner poll
```

## 3. Verify & Monitor

```bash
# Enhanced monitoring
aitbc miner status                                       # GPU status + earnings
aitbc wallet balance                                     # check token balance
aitbc monitor dashboard                                 # real-time monitoring
```
