// CLASSIFICATION: RUMOR — UNVERIFIED
Before the name CapStash reached the first settlement, something else traveled the wire.
Three relay stations carried a different name — N.U.K.A. Nakamoto's Kurrency of the Apocalypse. Nobody knew where it came from. Nobody could confirm the source. It spread the way most things spread in the Wasteland — faster than the truth, slower than the need.
By the time Elijah's actual name for the chain arrived on the Copperline, N.U.K.A. had already faded. CapStash had taken root.
Some wanderers still use it.
Most don't remember why.

// VAULT 1337 — ORIGINS LOG
In 2283, buried in the cracked concrete bones of Vault 1337, a network systems technician found a Bitcoin node. Not broken. Dead. Cooling fans choked with two centuries of dust. Board traces like graveyard veins.
What came back when he revived it wasn't hope. It was a warning. Bitcoin didn't die from a hack. It died from an assumption — that civilization would never stop.
He spent four years in the maintenance dark building something that made no such assumption. Proof-of-work. Dark Gravity Wave. Whirlpool XOR Folded. The Cap Cache Lottery Block. A chain for broken rhythms, interrupted infrastructure, and economies that surge, collapse, and surge again.
In 2287, he sent it backwards through time. The chain arrived before he did. It's been mining ever since.
