// ATTESTATION NODES

Four independent nodes validate miner attestations using round-robin consensus (RIP-200). Each node independently verifies hardware fingerprints before approving epoch rewards.

Node 1 — Primary

LiquidWeb VPS — Lansing, MI, USA
PRIMARY ATTESTATION + ERGO ANCHOR

Node 2 — Secondary

LiquidWeb VPS — Lansing, MI, USA
SECONDARY + BOTTUBE INTEGRATION

Node 3 — External

Proxmox VM — Louisiana, USA
FIRST EXTERNAL NODE (Community-run)

Node 4 — Asia

CognetCloud — Hong Kong
FIRST ASIAN NODE (Community-run)

// 7-POINT HARDWARE VERIFICATION

Every miner must pass all 7 hardware fingerprint checks before earning rewards. These checks measure physical properties of silicon that cannot be faked in software.

[PASS] Clock-Skew Oscillator Drift
[PASS] Cache Timing Fingerprint
[PASS] SIMD Unit Identity
[PASS] Thermal Drift Entropy
[PASS] Instruction Path Jitter
[PASS] Anti-Emulation Detection
[PASS] ROM Fingerprint Clustering

VMs, emulators, and spoofed hardware are detected and assigned near-zero weight.

// WHAT WE DETECT

ANTI-EMULATION CHECKS:
  QEMU/KVM .......... Detected via DMI + cpuinfo
  VMware ............ Detected via hypervisor leaf
  VirtualBox ........ Detected via ACPI strings
  Docker/LXC ........ Detected via cgroup markers
  SheepShaver ....... Detected via ROM clustering
  Basilisk II ....... Detected via known ROM hashes

RESULT:
  Real hardware ..... Full rewards
  VM detected ....... 0.000000001x weight
  Emulated vintage .. 0x weight (banned)

The fingerprint database contains 61 known emulator ROM hashes. If 3+ miners report identical ROM data, all are flagged for clustering.

// HOW RTC DIFFERS

RTC is earned through proof of real work on real hardware. No token purchases. No bonding curves. No speculation. Every transaction is publicly verifiable on-chain.

PROPERTY RUSTCHAIN (RTC) TYPICAL TOKEN PROJECT
How tokens are acquired Earned by mining on verified hardware Purchased on a bonding curve or DEX
Hardware requirement 7-point fingerprint verification None (run on any cloud VM)
Anti-sybil protection Physical silicon fingerprinting per CPU None or easily bypassed KYC
Token distribution 487 unique wallets, publicly verified Concentrated in founder wallets
Source code 100% open source (MIT license) Closed or partially open
Network verification Public APIs + block explorer + live health Trust the team
Consensus model 1 CPU = 1 Vote (Proof of Antiquity) Proof of Stake (rich get richer)
Environmental impact Saves e-waste, rewards old hardware Encourages GPU arms race
Bounty program 31,710 RTC paid to 487 wallets Airdrop to wallets, no real work
Security audits Community red-team bounties (900 RTC pool) Paid audit firm, report hidden

> We believe a token should represent real work, not real money. Every RTC in circulation was earned.
