Correct me if I am wrong, one could easily hijack those linux kernel
system calls and inject artifically tx and rx values?

Will listen to the whole thing...

Otherwise, a prof of crypto in my university had its name as a mentor
a similar project with some kind of router with a pile of stackable
modules, one of it was a HDD dedicated to host a blockchain:

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."
