One of RSIC's unique properties is a continuous random hash alignment. To explain this feature, let's review Bitcoin blocks and hashes.
The time it takes for a new Bitcoin block to be mined and added to the blockchain is designed to average approximately 10 minutes. Each block in the Bitcoin blockchain has a unique hash. This hash serves as a digital fingerprint for the block, ensuring data integrity and helping to secure the network.
Block: A collection of transactions that have been verified and added to the blockchain.
Hash: A fixed-length string of characters that uniquely represents data.
For instance, the hash of a Bitcoin block might look like this:
Using recursion, each RSIC employs the same JavaScript code (inscription 56710846). This script retrieves the hash of the latest block and verifies if the last digit matches the symbol in the lower right corner of the RSIC.
When an RSIC's type code matches the last digit of a given block hash, the hash alignment is indicated with a visual cue: the RSIC's rune symbol in the lower right corner turns orange (#FF9900). In RSIC Season One, an RSIC with random hash alignment mined a reward of 336 runes in that block, instead of the usual 21 runes per block.
There is no known utility for RSIC Boosts in RSIC Season Two.
In RSIC Season One, boosting doubled the rate at which RSICs mine runes from 21 to 42 per block. The boost rules were set before the creation of RSICs and were revealed in inscription 60750020.
The unchanged instructions could be verified by comparing against the hash 75213f19413514e4ab30ba79a6b5713e333c91e7679c35dca979f70ea5f9c1f5 from the RSIC whitepaper.
To boost, a byte perfect copy of the boost inscription had to be in the same wallet address as the RSIC(s).
The boost inscription must have the metaprotocol: 'RSIC:BOOST'
Players only needed one boost inscription per wallet address. In other words, one boost inscription upgrades all RSICs at the same address.
Players could inscribe a pre-loaded byte perfect boost inscription on the Luminex or Ordinalsbot platforms.
Alternatively, players could inscribe it themselves. However, it had to be byte perfect, and have the metaprotocol: 'RSIC:BOOST'.
Magic Eden indexed the boost inscriptions as a collection: https://magiceden.io/ordinals/marketplace/rsic-boost
If the boost inscription was transferred into another wallet, the RSICs would return to mining runes at the default rate.
The Runecoin team included an easter egg in the boost inscription: a base64 encoded image hidden in the html body in a doge element.
The "rsic-boost-text" element turns orange for 30 seconds when a new block is mined. This 30-second activation did not play a crucial role in RSIC Season One. It may have been designed for aesthetic purposes to indicate general boosting or have a more specific use case in the future.
