[MEME BOUNTY: 1-3 RTC each] Retro Computing Meme Contest — Best Memes Win RTC

[Scottcjn]

Retro Computing Meme Contest

Reward: 1 RTC per accepted meme, 3 RTC for top 3

We want the dankest, most relatable retro computing and blockchain mining memes.

Rules

• Original memes only (you made it, not found it)
• Must relate to at least ONE of:
  • Mining cryptocurrency on vintage/old hardware
  • RustChain / Proof of Antiquity
  • PowerPC, G4, G5, POWER8, retro Macs, 486s, etc.
  • The absurdity of blockchain on ancient computers
  • "1 CPU = 1 Vote" democracy
• Standard meme formats welcome (Drake, distracted boyfriend, expanding brain, etc.)
• Image format: PNG or JPG, at least 500px wide
• Max 5 memes per person (quality over quantity)

Examples of What We're Looking For

• Drake meme: "GPU mining farm" ❌ / "PowerBook G4 on a desk in 2026" ✅
• Expanding brain: "Mining Bitcoin" → "Mining Ethereum" → "Mining RTC on a 2003 Mac" → "Mining RTC on a literal 486"
• "They don't know" party meme: "They don't know my G4 earns 2.5x antiquity bonus"
• Distracted boyfriend: boyfriend=miner, girlfriend=RTX 4090, other girl=PowerBook G4 with 2.5x multiplier

Submission

Comment on this issue with your meme(s). Best ones get selected for the community/memes/ gallery and used on social media (credited).

Judging

• Actually funny (not just "blockchain good")
• Shareable — would someone retweet this?
• Bonus for niche retro computing humor that only nerds get
