Do Hashcash based CAPTCHAs work in practice?

- Everyone has GPUs now

- Automated attacks would need to be custom-tailored because they take longer.

- I can assume things about human users, like that they need to spend some time before submitting a form.

We shouldn‘t have started sending data to Google for every little contact form. And even help train their image classifiers.
