- It would be cool if any rate-limiting POW was specified as bytecode ... so nodes can plug in as many "machine-captcha" things as they please, and solvers can choose to solve... or just say "nope too hard". - Alternately, it would be a lot nicer if you just required people to pay a nanobit

[bitcoin-dev] BIP Proposal: Rate Limiting with server specified Proof of Work challenges

Hello, I am proposing a new feature for rate limiting purposes where nodes can make and solve arbitrary PoW challenges in return for connection slots (to be expanded to cover e.g. bloom filters or other DoS risky services). The BIP currently includes two proofs of work (sha256 and cuckoo-cycle)
