I don't know what you mean by "the best argument". My entire argument is that it's bad CS. I'm not trying to convince people not to run Anubis. If anything, I'm trying to convince Anubis to use better computer science. That would make more people run it! But even that's just a faint subsidiary goal; the real goal, as someone who works in this field and has designed proof-of-work antiabuse systems before, is just to add clarity about what can and can't work and why.


I too would love anubis to use better CS, if available. Perhaps you have some ideas for @xena, instead of just letting anubis continue on the trajectory of iterating its PoW approach?

Same here. But of course and as expected; 5 hours later, the GP comment offers no proper solutions for this "better computer science" they speak of.

It shows they really don't care and they are just rage-baiting readers in their weekly grumpiness without any suggestions.

Unless they come up with said "solution", they can completely ignored in their complaints.
