Bounty: 40 RTC

Description

Build a web-based interactive simulator that shows how RustChain mining works WITHOUT requiring real hardware. Educational tool for onboarding new miners.

Requirements

• Browser-based (HTML/JS, no backend required)
• Simulate the mining loop:
  1. Hardware detection (show what fingerprint checks do)
  2. Attestation submission (show the payload format)
  3. Epoch participation (show round-robin selection)
  4. Reward calculation (show antiquity multipliers)
• Let users pick their "hardware":
  • PowerBook G4 (2.5x multiplier)
  • Power Mac G5 (2.0x)
  • Modern x86 (1.0x)
  • VM (0.000000001x — show why VMs don't work)
• Show real-time reward comparison between architectures
• Link to actual miner download at the end

Bonus (10 RTC)

• Animated fingerprint check visualization
• "What would you earn?" calculator based on hardware selection
