And I overlooked the most fatal flaw in hashcash: Hashcash really sucks if you're a mail server admin who has to crank 50,000 hash cashes a day at 5 CPU seconds a pop because people forgot to whitelist your server. Hashcash isn't even a tiny speed bump if you're a spammer and have 50,000 zombies - each one only takes a 5 second hiccup and continues spamming....
