Request for funding Cuckatoo reference miner

Working on Milestone 1: (Will complete on Monday)

  1. Created Rust workspace structure with two crates: cuckatoo-core (algorithms) and cuckatoo-miner (CLI)
  2. Implemented SipHash-2-4 algorithm for generating edges from block headers and nonces
  3. Built lean trimming system with 42-round edge reduction using bitmaps for efficient operations
  4. Created cycle verification algorithm to find 42-cycles in the trimmed graph using bipartite traversal
  5. Developed CLI application with --edge-bits, --mode lean, and --tuning parameters matching original C++ tool
