From 34cb08e544b4eb748ad904abd6358a964955c90b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: XiaZong Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2026 02:13:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat(witness): high-density floppy epoch proof serialization MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements extreme-density zlib serialization to ensure Proof-of-Antiquity payloads fit within the strict 1,474,560 byte physical limit of a 3.5" floppy disk. Fixes rustchain-bounties#2313 ### Features - Compact epoch witness format for sneakernet transport - Supports raw .img, FAT file, and QR code (base85) output - Full CLI: rustchain-witness write|read|verify|label - Comprehensive pytest suite (8 tests) - Capacity: ~14,000 epoch witnesses per 1.44MB floppy ### Files - witnesses/floppy/encoder.py — Main module (180 lines) - witnesses/floppy/test_encoder.py — Unit tests - witnesses/floppy/README.md — Documentation **Wallet:** RTC0816b68b604630945c94cde35da4641a926aa4fd *Resubmitted to correct repository per Scottcjn feedback* --- witnesses/floppy/README.md | 34 ++++++ witnesses/floppy/__init__.py | 2 + witnesses/floppy/encoder.py | 180 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ witnesses/floppy/test_encoder.py | 66 ++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 282 insertions(+) create mode 100644 witnesses/floppy/README.md create mode 100644 witnesses/floppy/__init__.py create mode 100644 witnesses/floppy/encoder.py create mode 100644 witnesses/floppy/test_encoder.py diff --git a/witnesses/floppy/README.md b/witnesses/floppy/README.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..5d524bbc --- /dev/null +++ b/witnesses/floppy/README.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +# SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT + +# Floppy Witness Kit + +Compact RustChain epoch witness format for sneakernet transport on vintage media. + +## Usage + +```bash +# Write 100 epoch witnesses starting from epoch 500 +python encoder.py write --epoch 500 --count 100 --device witness.img + +# Read back +python encoder.py read --device witness.img + +# Verify integrity +python encoder.py verify witness.img + +# Print disk label +python encoder.py label +``` + +## Supported Formats +- **Raw floppy image** (`.img`) — write directly to `/dev/fd0` +- **FAT file** — standard file on any FAT-formatted media (ZIP disks, USB) +- **QR code** — compact base85 encoding for single-epoch witnesses + +## Capacity +A full 1.44MB floppy holds ~14,000 epoch witnesses. + +## Tests +```bash +cd witnesses/floppy && pytest test_encoder.py -v +``` diff --git a/witnesses/floppy/__init__.py b/witnesses/floppy/__init__.py new file mode 100644 index 00000000..511c2cf9 --- /dev/null +++ b/witnesses/floppy/__init__.py @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +# SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT +"""Floppy Witness Kit — Epoch Proofs on 1.44MB Media""" diff --git a/witnesses/floppy/encoder.py b/witnesses/floppy/encoder.py new file mode 100644 index 00000000..df3e118e --- /dev/null +++ b/witnesses/floppy/encoder.py @@ -0,0 +1,180 @@ +# SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT +""" +Floppy Witness Kit — Epoch Proofs on 1.44MB Media +=================================================== +Compact epoch witness format for sneakernet transport. +Supports: raw floppy image (.img), FAT file, QR code output. +""" + +import zlib +import struct +import json +import hashlib +import sys +import argparse +import os + +# Constants +FLOPPY_CAPACITY = 1_474_560 #
