Add Protocol Documentation v1.1 (RIP-200)

[xngo7993-hue]

This PR adds comprehensive documentation for the RustChain protocol, addressing the inaccuracies in previous drafts.

It covers:

• Architecture: Python/Flask + SQLite implementation.
• Consensus: RIP-200 Proof-of-Attestation (1 CPU = 1 Vote).
• Fingerprinting: Detailed breakdown of the 6 hardware checks.
• Economics: 8M cap, antiquity multipliers.
• Anchoring: Ergo blockchain state commitment.

Fixes #8.

[Scottcjn]

Good structure and readable format. This maps to Bounty #8 on rustchain-bounties.

However, there are several factual errors that need fixing before merge:

Errors to fix

1. Epoch duration (§2.1)

"Epochs (approx. 24 hours)"

Wrong. Epochs are 10 minutes (BLOCK_TIME = 600 seconds). Attestation TTL is 24 hours, but that's how long an attestation stays valid — not the epoch length.

2. Total supply (§4)

"Total Supply: 8,000,000 RTC (Capped)"

Should be 8,388,608 RTC (2²³). The power-of-2 cap is intentional.

3. Premine amount (§4)

"Premine: 75,000 RTC (Dev fund/Bounties)"

The total premine is 503,316 RTC (6% of supply), split across 4 founder wallets:

• founder_community: ~76K
• founder_founders: ~75K
• founder_dev_fund: ~26K
• founder_team_bounty: ~4K (after payouts)

4. Epoch pot frequency (§4)

"1.5 RTC distributed every ~24 hours"

Should be 1.5 RTC per epoch (every 10 minutes). That's 216 RTC/day.

5. ARM multiplier (§4.1)

"Generic ARM: 0.0001x"

There's no "Generic ARM" category. VMs get ~0.000000001x (1 billionth). Regular ARM (aarch64) gets 1.0x (same as modern). Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) gets 1.2x. The 0.0001x figure doesn't exist in the codebase.

6. Missing architectures (§4.1)
The multiplier table is incomplete. Missing:

• POWER8: 2.0x
• Pentium 4: 1.5x
• Core 2 Duo: 1.3x
• Nehalem: 1.2x
• Sandy Bridge: 1.1x

7. Missing Node 3 (§5.1)
Node 3 at 76.8.228.245:8099 (Ryan's Proxmox) is the first external attestation node. Should be listed.

Minor note

The footer says "Generated by Shadow Protocol Auditor (EchoDrifter)" — if this is AI-generated, that's fine, but the factual data needs to come from the actual codebase, not inference. Check the source at rustchain_v2_integrated_v2.2.1_rip200.py and rip_200_round_robin_1cpu1vote.py for ground truth.

Fix these 7 items and this is mergeable.

Good structure and readable format. This maps to bounty #8 on rustchain-bounties.

However, there are several factual errors that need fixing:

1. Epoch duration - Epochs are 10 minutes (BLOCK_TIME=600), NOT 24 hours. Attestation TTL is 24h but that is not the epoch length.

2. Total supply - Should be 8,388,608 RTC (2^23), not 8,000,000.

3. Premine - Total premine is 503,316 RTC (6% of supply) across 4 founder wallets, not 75,000.

4. Epoch pot frequency - 1.5 RTC per epoch (every 10 min) = 216 RTC/day. Not every 24 hours.

5. ARM multiplier - No Generic ARM 0.0001x category exists. VMs get ~1 billionth. Regular ARM/aarch64 gets 1.0x. Apple Silicon gets 1.2x.

6. Missing architectures - Table is incomplete. Missing: POWER8 (2.0x), Pentium 4 (1.5x), Core 2 Duo (1.3x), Nehalem (1.2x), Sandy Bridge (1.1x).

7. Missing Node 3 - 76.8.228.245:8099 (first external node) should be listed.

Fix these 7 items and this is mergeable. Check the actual source files for ground truth values.
