RPOW - Reusable Proofs of Work

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the interesting-projects dept.

mitd writes "Hal Finney is inviting folks to test drive his new hashcash-based server rpow.net. " The RPOW system provides for proof of work (POW) tokens to be reused. A POW token is something that takes a relatively long time to compute but which can be checked quickly." Hal's security model paper is well worth the read and his proof of concept code is available for download. "

    story just went up and the site is slow, so it won't take long before it's not there anymore :|

    This is the most useless website for a simple explaination of what this is for, or even what it is! Even the faq page doesn't make much sense.

    Looks like his server has been tested slashdot style though!
