Mineable assets (G-PoW accrual model)

[Tylerlhess]

Summary

• Adds mineable assets (&NAME) with block-accrual schedules, coinbase claims, and BIP9 mineable_assets deployment (version bit 12).
• Adds additive reissuemineable (RVNE): extend total quantity and optionally tighten nth_block with pay-as-you-go recost rules; hard cap via nMaxTotalQty; owner-token gated.
• Adds unit and chain regression coverage: dedicated mineable_* stress suite plus asset_regression_* matrix across standard, restricted, and mineable transaction types.

Design notes

• Script tags: RVNM (issue mineable), RVNE (reissue mineable).
• Accrual bucket: matured_periods - claimed_periods; claims may lag maturity.
• Incompatible nth_block changes require reset to nth=1 with recost = remaining_periods × (old_nth - 1) × 1 RVN.
• RIP draft: doc/rip-mineable-assets.md.

Test plan

• ./src/test/test_raven --run_test=mineable_*
• ./src/test/test_raven --run_test=asset_regression_*
• Regtest activation of BIP9 mineable_assets bit
• Manual RPC: issuemineable, reissuemineable, mine + claim flow

Is the goal of this pull requst to add an asset type that will mint, or otherwise send assets to the winning block address?

I'm trying to understand what is the reason for doing this as an L1 vs an L2.

This is based off a proposal many years old that would eliminate the development and pow needed to create a crypto token. You would be able to get the blockchain without running the blockchain. This would allow truly mineable meme coins without the smart contract risks and in a fairly distributed manor as they are part of the block reward. Yes you could do this as a layer 2 but then that becomes an additional failure point just like a smart contract is. Running it in layer 1 is possible and offers a unique asset class that isn't available in other chains mainly a clean and defined path to use the chain to do a fair launch of a coin with an optional dev distribution say for a charitable cause like meowcoin had done.
