Summary

  • Adds RustChain to the Python section under Do-It-Yourself
  • RustChain is an open-source blockchain written entirely in Python
  • Introduces Proof of Antiquity consensus — rewards mining on vintage hardware (PowerPC G4/G5, IBM POWER8)
  • Features hardware fingerprinting (clock drift, cache timing, SIMD identity, thermal entropy, instruction jitter, anti-emulation) to prevent fraud
  • Installable via PyPI: pip install clawrtc

Why it fits this list

This list collects blockchain implementations across programming languages. RustChain is a complete, working blockchain written in Python with a novel consensus mechanism. It fits naturally in the Python section alongside other Python blockchain implementations. The source code at https://github.com/Scottcjn/Rustchain demonstrates blockchain concepts including custom consensus, hardware attestation, epoch-based rewards, and cross-chain anchoring to Ergo.

RustChain is a Proof of Antiquity blockchain written in Python that
rewards mining on vintage/retro hardware with hardware fingerprinting.

fyi: The main page is for now bascially archived / historic. I keep this patch open for a future page on new blockchain tech. Thanks for your understanding and your contribution.
