  • This is precisely what Hashcash is. Hashcash is widely acknowledged as the primary ancestor of Bitcoin.

    Also, Tor now has a system like this built-in. It uses PoW. It’s quite new (less than a year old) and you have to explicitly enable it, but I’m sure the trocador admins know about this.

Rather, you get ddossed until you cry uncle and comply with the demands that you help MITM and fingerprint your customers. Javascript happens to be useful for fingerprinting. It has very little to do with ddos mitigation.
