[DOCS] Homepage contradicts itself: 6-point vs 7-point hardware fingerprint

[Scottcjn]

Filed on behalf of @antoleod (rustchain-bounties#2781 email-fallback report, GitHub App 403).

Summary. https://rustchain.org/ describes the anti-VM fingerprint as both a 6-point and a 7-point system on the same page, and a table farther down calls it a 6-layer fingerprint. ROM fingerprint clustering is listed as item seven in one section and not counted in the others.

Reproduction (verified 2026-09-04 by the reporter, re-verified 2026-09-05 by a maintainer: the live page contains exactly one '6-point' and one '7-point').

1. Proof of Antiquity Consensus section: "6-point hardware fingerprint prevents VM farms."
2. Anti-VM Fingerprinting section: "RustChain's 7-point hardware fingerprint system", listing seven items with ROM Fingerprint Clustering as [BOUNTY] Run a RustChain Miner on Real Hardware — Earn 25 RTC + Mining Rewards #7.
3. Published-research table: "6-layer fingerprint".
4. The node's rotating checks are six: clock_drift, cache_timing, simd_bias, thermal_drift, instruction_jitter, anti_emulation; the ROM check applies to emulatable retro platforms only.

Suggested fix. One canonical phrasing everywhere: "6-point hardware fingerprint + ROM/fleet clustering defense" (six per-attestation measurements, ROM clustering as a separate layer). The same drift exists in the Computational Antiquity paper's older wording and was fixed there today.

Hi! I would like to work on this bounty. /claim

Fixed live on rustchain.org: index.html now reads "6-point hardware fingerprint (plus ROM and fleet-clustering checks)" and transparency.html's row reads "6-point fingerprint verification + ROM/fleet clustering". Zero remaining "7-point" strings on either page (backups *.bak_7pt_* kept beside them). Reported by @antoleod under rustchain-bounties#2781 — 1 RTC paid (idem email0904-antoleod-2781-homepage-6v7). Closing.
