So, what's my reason to accept a "payment in cpu time"? As best as I
can tell, a "payment in cpu time" means that someone *else* doesn't
get a payment in cpu time with their spam. I still get the spam.
It seems analagous to a protocol that proves that someone burned a
dollar bill.
A scheme where I actually get something of value might have a bit more
traction..
