RustChain rewards older hardware with Proof-of-Antiquity consensus

RustChain, a blockchain project, is drawing attention for flipping the usual mining logic: instead of favoring the newest, fastest hardware, its Proof-of-Antiquity consensus mechanism rewards older machines. Supporters highlight it as a more inclusive, energy-conscious alternative that extends hardware lifespans and lowers barriers for small-scale participants, though technical details of the scheme remain limited in early discussion.
Why now: It challenges the standard assumption that crypto mining requires ever-newer hardware, which resonates with debates on e-waste, energy use and accessibility in crypto communities.
