-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Oh fuck. Time to advance the Digital Doomsday Clock. How many days past midnight was it yesterday? https://www.usenix.org/conference/woot16/workshop-program/presentation/w ustrow or https://tinyurl.com/ddoscoin "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."
