There are PoW approaches that even the playing field between data centers and desktops. RandomX is my favorite.

For what it's worth I'm working on hashx support. It's just going to take a bit to ship while I do browser testing with broken browser configs.
Interesting. How do they tell the difference between legitimate and forged ip owner records?
It's not about traffic identification at all, but rather a hashing algorithm that is deliberately resistant to parallelization and GPU/ASIC acceleration, which shrinks the gap in solving speed between the fastest systems (i.e. datacenter-class compute resources) and typical systems (e.g. the CPU in your smartphone or laptop).
Uh, is it resistant to parallelization across multiple sites? Because that's the situation for the scrapers. They're not trying to solve a single PoW challenge across many cores.
