RFE hashcash + "memory bound"
Last modified: 2022-03-06 16:27:09 UTC
There is now a Thunderbird extension for stamping email (yea!). It's called PennyPost http://pennypost.sourceforge.net/ It can use either hashcash (which we already support) or a newer stamp pricing system called memory bound or mbound. To quote Wikipedia: "Memory bound refers to a situation in which the time to complete a given computational problem is decided primarily by the amount of available memory to hold data. In other words, the limiting factor of solving a given problem is the memory access speed. The application of memory bound functions could prove to be valuable in preventing spam..." Might we support memory bound in addition to hashcash? Thanks, Lance
Closing ancient stale bug.
