PoW WoW v0.1 is out!

It is a distributed marketplace for event PoW.

Anyone can be a client, offering to buy PoW for their event. And anyone can be a provider, selling hashrate.

A reputation system based on past trade behavior punishes dishonest clients or providers. For example, a client who creates requests but doesn't pay gets a bad reputation. Similarly, a provider who delivers a blinded solution which, after payment and unblinding, turns out to have less bits of PoW than asked by the client, also gets a negative reputation.

There are 3 clients available: WASM, CLI, and a Gossip fork. A CLI provider is available for those who want to try out mining.

This is great! I wanted to build something like this for ONOSENDAI but you literally did it. Can't wait to dive into it more. I'd probably run my own instance on more powerful hardware just to power my cyberspace actions.

I'm assuming you would be able to send realtime requests to your own powwow instance?
