// WHAT IS RUSTCHAIN?

RustChain is a blockchain network built on Proof of Antiquity (PoA) — a novel consensus mechanism that rewards miners proportionally to the age and rarity of their hardware.

Old PowerPC G4s, G5s, 68K Macs, SPARCstations, 486 laptops — machines destined for landfills become valuable network participants. The older and rarer your hardware, the higher your mining multiplier.

> Every computer deserves dignity. Every CPU gets a vote.

// PROOF OF ANTIQUITY CONSENSUS

Unlike Proof of Work (energy waste) or Proof of Stake (rich get richer), Proof of Antiquity enforces 1 CPU = 1 Vote with hardware fingerprint verification.

CONSENSUS RULES:
  - Each physical CPU gets exactly 1 vote
  - Vintage hardware earns antiquity multipliers
  - 6-point hardware fingerprint prevents VM farms
  - Anti-emulation checks detect QEMU/VMware/VBox
  - ROM clustering catches emulated vintage machines
  - Epoch rewards: 1.5 RTC per 10-minute epoch

The fingerprint system measures clock-skew oscillator drift, cache timing profiles, SIMD unit identity, thermal drift entropy, and instruction path jitter — all impossible to fake in a VM.

// TENURE-GROWN MULTIPLIERS (RIP-200)

Hardware ages into the network — the longer you mine, the higher your rewards. All miners gain +5% per year of tenure, capped at +50% after 10 years. Vintage hardware starts high and grows higher.

DEVICE ARCHITECTURE BASE MULTIPLIER AFTER 1 YEAR AFTER 5 YEARS
Motorola 68000 / Mac SE/30 68K (1979) 3.00x 3.150x 3.750x
Intel 386 / 486 x86 (1985-1989) 3.00x 3.150x 3.750x

Modern x86_64 Modern 0.80x 0.840x 1.000x
Generic ARM / RPi / Phones ARM (generic) 0.0005x 0.0005x 0.0006x 
tenure_formula = base * min(1.0 + 0.05 * years_mining, 1.5)
# All hardware grows +5%/year, capped at +50% after 10 years
# A modern x86_64 mining for 5 years reaches 1.0x (from 0.8x)
# A G4 mining for 10 years reaches 3.75x (from 2.5x)
# Loyalty is rewarded. Hardware ages INTO the network.

# WHY IS GENERIC ARM NEAR ZERO?
# Cheap ARM boards ($5 RPi, broken phones) enable trivial 51% attacks.
# Anyone could buy 100 phones and spin up 100 "miners" for $500.
# Near-zero ARM weight prevents this attack vector.
# Apple Silicon gets 1.2x because its Secure Enclave makes
# hardware fingerprinting reliable and spoofing expensive.

// ANTI-VM FINGERPRINTING

RustChain's 7-point hardware fingerprint system prevents virtual machine farms from gaming the network:

[✓] Clock-Skew & Oscillator Drift
[✓] Cache Timing Fingerprint (L1/L2/L3)
[✓] SIMD Unit Identity (SSE/AVX/AltiVec)
[✓] Thermal Drift Entropy
[✓] Instruction Path Jitter Map
[✓] Anti-Emulation Behavioral Checks
[✓] ROM Fingerprint Clustering

VMs earn 0.000000001x rewards (1 billionth). This is by design.

// PUBLISHED RESEARCH

Five peer-registered papers from Elyan Labs, all built on IBM POWER8 hardware. Every paper has a permanent DOI via Zenodo. The research stack is cumulative — each paper builds on the last.

> THE PERFORMANCE STACK

Each optimization layers on the last. All measured on IBM POWER8 S824 with TinyLlama 1.1B Q4_K:

TOTAL: 8.81x on "obsolete" hardware

> VEC_PERM: THE 1-CYCLE ADVANTAGE

AltiVec's vec_perm does non-bijective permutations (many-to-one mapping) in a single cycle. x86 and ARM enforce bijective shuffles only.

OPERATION COUNT COMPARISON:
                 AltiVec   x86 AVX-512   ARM NEON

Non-bijective      1 op      27+ ops      96 ops
Prune + Amplify    1 op      34+ ops     112 ops
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
This is why POWER8 can do Hebbian-style
attention collapse that GPUs cannot.

> PSE HARDWARE ENTROPY

POWER8's mftb instruction reads a physical crystal oscillator. Injected into LLM logits every 4th token as bounded perturbation.

# Same seed (42), same prompt, 3 runs:
b52ce7b85...  run_1.txt
15c558b2c...  run_2.txt
fd5d7ae25...  run_3.txt

Three different outputs. Provable
non-determinism from silicon physics.
Overhead: 0.2%. Grounded in Hebbian
learning and stochastic resonance theory.

> PRIORITY CLAIM

RAM Coffers (Dec 16, 2025) predates DeepSeek's Engram paper (arXiv:2601.07372, Jan 12, 2026) by 27 days. Both address the same insight: separating static knowledge storage from dynamic computation enables more efficient LLM inference.

All papers registered with Zenodo timestamps for verifiable priority.
