fandiddlytastic. the immediate thought that comes to my mind is as a
barrier to submissions on blog comment spam. I think I would probably
set things up so that comments in the first three days would be
unimpeded but beyond that, increasing values of stamps would be used for
submissions.
The reason for this logic is that spammers are using content entries in
blogs to place their spam and make it increasingly visible by a search
engines. Typically they target old entries that aren't watched to do
their dirty work.
on a related out, here's an experimental engine for calculating zombies
necessary to overwhelm a proof of work defense. after it and some
related writings are finished, I'm going to move them to the camram site.

The result of the duopoly that currently defines "competition" is that
prices and service suck. We're the world's leader in Internet
technology - except that we're not.
