RustChain Miner - Native Rust Implementation

🦀 Port of rustchain_universal_miner.py to native Rust.

Features Implemented

  • Hardware Detection - CPU, memory, platform fingerprinting
  • Ed25519 Attestation - Cryptographic signing for miner identity
  • Anti-Emulation Checks - Detects common VM/emulator indicators
  • Cross-Platform - Linux, macOS, Windows support
  • Configurable - TOML-based configuration
  • Async Runtime - Built on Tokio for high performance
