the problem: hashcash always takes a second on windows.
a guess at the cause of this problem: running in verbose mode, it takes
this
time "initial benchmark" finishes. also, it appears to always do this
benchmark
when minting.
This benchmark figure is just an estimate at how long the stamp calculation
might take.
If the estimate says 30 seconds, the actual time could be anything between
10 seconds and a minute. The benchmark is just the mathematical average
based on the 2^n bits calculation. It doesn't affect the actual stamp
generation function.
