I keep seeing old laptops and desktops treated as useless the moment they stop being competitive with current hardware. RustChain takes a different approach: its Proof of Antiquity experiment uses hardware identity and antiquity weighting so older physical machines can remain relevant instead of competing purely on modern compute power.
What interests me is the reuse angle rather than any promise of profit. It is an experimental network, and hardware attestation is an adversarial engineering problem, but giving vintage machines a reason to stay maintained is worth exploring. If you want to inspect the implementation and decide for yourself, start with the RustChain repository and its documentation.
