Indeed, although technically speaking, it isn't Hashcash. It doesn't use
the tokens, nor does it the Hashcash algorithm. Instead, it uses
obfuscation in JavaScript to force the client to present a matching key.
It is proof-of-work, but it's not Hashcash.

hmm maybe we should enforce out trademark by giving them an imp of hashcash to 
use.

and yes, I am going to follow up on the thunderbird extension path.
