No, I understood this. In a later post it was
I'd like to invite members of this list to try out my new
hashcash-based server, rpow.net.
This system receives hashcash as a Proof of Work (POW) token, and in
exchange creates RSA-signed tokens which I call Reusable Proof of Work

can be backdoored:

Here's an interesting hardware security vulnerability. Turns out that
