proof-of-work system

A coincidence that I came across this post, as for the past 5 hours I've been designing a PoW system as fun activity, for a cooler stateless auth sync.

Only to come to the conclusion that a) it's kinda absurd for this b) iOS JS just shits itself

PoW is also hard to tune for multiple device types. A cheaper phone is going to struggle to do what a modern desktop CPU can do instantly … so what people end up proposing is reusable pow, where you pay a server to make pow for you, but then we’re kind of back to using bitcoin (which is ultimately reusable pow).
