RustChain picks block producers with simple modulo, not mining

RustChain, a blockchain built around the idea that old hardware should outearn modern machines, has drawn attention for its unusual consensus method: instead of a hash-power race or a staking lottery, its block producer is selected through a simple modulo operation. Observers note this fits the network's design goal, since a 2003 PowerBook could never beat a modern GPU in a traditional proof-of-work contest.
Why now: The deliberately low-tech consensus design challenges assumptions about how blockchains must work, sparking curiosity among crypto and hardware enthusiasts.

- No hash race, no staking lottery. RustChain's block producer is just a modulo operation — and that's the point. When a network's whole gimmick is "old hardware outearns new," its consensus can't be a hash-power race — a 2003 PowerBook would lose to any modern GPU within… · hackaday@www.urbanmind.net · 1
