Adds RustChain (https://rustchain.org) to the Compute section.

What is RustChain?

RustChain is a Proof of Antiquity blockchain that rewards vintage hardware mining with higher multipliers for older systems (G4=2.5x, G5=2.0x, modern=1.0x). It's a decentralized compute network that incentivizes the use of older hardware, reducing e-waste and promoting hardware diversity.

Why include in DePIN?

RustChain fits the DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) category because:

  1. It creates a decentralized network of physical hardware
  2. Uses cryptocurrency rewards to incentivize hardware participation
  3. Bridges digital blockchain with physical hardware infrastructure
  4. Democratizes mining access beyond specialized ASICs

References

This addition helps make the awesome-depin list more comprehensive for DePIN researchers and enthusiasts.
