     Oh fuck. Time to advance the Digital Doomsday Clock. How many days
     past midnight was it yesterday?

     "In this paper, we present DDoSCoin, which is a cryptocurrency with
     a
     malicious proof-of-work. DDoSCoin allows miners to prove that they
     have contributed to a distributed denial of service attack against
     specific target servers. This proof involves making a large number
     of
     TLS connections to a target server, and using cryptographic
     responses
     to prove that a large number of connections has been made. Like
     proof-of-work puzzles, these proofs are inexpensive to verify, and
     can
     be made arbitrarily difficult to solve."
