Anubis.

Some thoughts on how useful Anubis really is. Combined with comments I read elsewhere about scrapers starting to solve the challenges, I’m afraid Anubis will be outdated soon and we need something else.

    If that sounds familiar, it’s because it’s similar to how bitcoin mining works. Anubis is not literally mining cryptocurrency, but it is similar in concept to other projects that do exactly that

    Did the author only now discover cryptography? It’s like a cryptocurrency, just without currency, what a concept!

      It’s a perfectly valid way to explain it, though

      If you try to show up with “cryptography” as an explanation, people will think of encrypting messages, not proof of work

      “Cryptocurrency with the currency” really is the perfect single sentence explanation
