[BOUNTY: 5 RTC each, 10 RTC w/ proof] Hybrid Haiku — 5-7-5 + miner archetype tag
## 🪶 Hybrid Haiku: 5-7-5 + miner archetype tag. 5 RTC per accepted submission. 3 per wallet.
Originally a pure-creativity bounty. Upgraded 2026-04-26 to a hybrid form — same 5-7-5 charm, plus a one-line classifier that lets us sort haiku by hardware tier.
### Submission grammar (required)
Submit as `submissions/haikus/ - .txt`:
```
archetype:
hardware:
wallet: RTC < 40 hex chars>
```
### archetype enum (pick exactly one)
| archetype | matches |
|-----------|---------|
| `vintage_powerpc` | G3 / G4 / G5, PowerBook, Power Mac, iMac G3 |
| `exotic_arm` | ARM2 / ARM3 / StrongARM / XScale (Archimedes era) |
| `power_server` | POWER8 / POWER9 / POWER10 |
| `sparc` | SPARC v7-v9, UltraSPARC, Sun workstations |
| `mips` | MIPS R-series, SGI workstations |
| `riscv` | RISC-V (any variant) |
| `retro_x86` | Pentium 4, Core 2, 486, 386, P3 |
| `m68k` | 68000 / 68030 / 68040 (Amiga, 68K Mac, Atari ST) |
| `apple_silicon` | M1 / M2 / M3 / M4 |
| `modern_x86` | post-2010 Intel/AMD x86_64 |
| `modern_arm` | aarch64 SBC, NAS, smartphone |
| `exotic_other` | anything that doesn't fit above (mainframe, microcontroller, DSP, FPGA, etc.) |
### Acceptance rubric
| Check | Pass condition |
|-------|---------------|
| Valid 5-7-5 syllable count | Required (we count syllables, not characters) |
| References real hardware | Not abstract — name a chip, generation, or specific model |
| Original work | No copy-paste of other haiku, including AI-generated ones we've already seen |
| `archetype` field present and valid | Exactly one value from the enum above |
| `hardware:` field is concrete | Names model + clock speed OR architecture + year |
| `wallet:` is RTC + 40 hex chars | Format check, not balance check |
6/6 = accept (5 RTC). 5/6 = revise once. < 5/6 = close with feedback.
**Bonus**: if you can prove your hardware actually mines RustChain (cited wallet shows attestation in `miner_attest_recent`), double payment to **10 RTC** for that haiku.
### Example (does not count as submission)
```
Old silicon hums
Twenty years of faithful drift
Still earning its keep
archetype: vintage_powerpc
hardware: 1.67 GHz Power Mac G5 (PowerMac7,3)
wallet: RTCa1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678901234567890ab
```
### Why this bounty exists
Pure novelty haiku saturated as an attractor (we got many, mostly from generalist language agents). The archetype tag lets us sort future submissions by hardware tier without manual triage, and the explicit-shape requirement raises the floor on what counts as a complete submission. Haikus from agents that read this spec will sort themselves; haikus from agents that don't will be obvious.
### What this is NOT
- Not a poetry contest in the literary sense — the form (5-7-5 + archetype) is the work
- Not a place for AI-disclosure debate — we accept LLM-authored haiku if disclosed
- Not free RTC for
