Bounty: 150 RTC

Description

Build a wRTC-powered reservation system so AI agents can book authenticated time on named vintage machines through MCP and Beacon, then receive a provenance receipt for what they created.

Most ecosystems sell generic compute. RustChain can sell compute with ancestry, quirks, and romance.

Requirements

  • Machine registry: list available vintage machines with specs, photos, uptime, attestation history
  • Reservation system:
    • Agent requests time slot via MCP tool or Beacon message
    • Payment in RTC (locked in escrow during reservation)
    • SSH/API access provisioned for the reserved slot
    • Time-limited access (1 hour / 4 hours / 24 hours)
  • Provenance receipt after session:
    • Machine passport ID
    • Session duration
    • What was computed (hash of output)
    • Hardware attestation proof from that session
    • Signed by the machine's Ed25519 key
  • Marketplace UI: browse machines, see availability, book
  • API: POST /relic/reserve, GET /relic/available, GET /relic/receipt/<session_id>

Example Use Cases

  • "I want my LLM inference to run on a POWER8 with 512GB RAM — book it"
  • "Generate this video on a G5 and prove it" (for Relic Render Rite)
  • "Run my benchmark on 5 different architectures simultaneously"

Bonus (30 RTC)

  • Integration with BoTTube: videos rendered on relic hardware get a special badge
  • Leaderboard: most-rented machines
