Can't wait for the day that ecash replaces Cloudflare
Discussion
Someone gets it
How about no
what's the solution to spam and bots?
PoW
Sure, some sites may be okay with PoW and others want to monetize traffic
Monetizing traffic is a business model, not an alternative to Cloudflare.
Tor managed to tackle this issue with PoW, that's why I mentioned it.
I think it would depend on how much is charged (and how ubiquitous ecash is, obviously) but it could simply be a symbolic anti-spam amount.
Speaking of Tor, Cloudflare prevents me from accessing many sites when I use it
That's because Cloudflare is centralized and they can do as they please.
I believe an e-cash system would end up equally centralized: at some point only tokens from 1 or 2 regulated mints would be ubiquitously accepted...
