Subject: Montana — post-quantum blockchain reference paper

I've been working on a new blockchain whose security rests entirely on
post-quantum cryptographic primitives, with no transaction fees and time as
the scarce resource in place of money.

The paper is available at:
https://github.com/efir369999/Montana/blob/main/Whitepaper Montana.md

The main properties:
  Post-quantum signatures (ML-DSA-65) and key encapsulation (ML-KEM-768)
  from primitives up. No ECDSA, no curve25519, no RSA in the protocol.
  Consensus is a verifiable delay function over SHA-256 producing a globally
  ordered chain of windows of approximately 60 seconds each.
  Anti-spam operates on time, not on fees: per-identity per-window rates,
  account chain-length thresholds, seniority gating.
  No mint, no premine, no transaction fee. The single emission is 13 base
  units of Ɉ to the operator who completed each window's VDF.
  Architecturally targets one billion active accounts as the design baseline.
