give these a shot. 1st gen web pow defenses. I really need a
development contract to expand the idea to include value of
reputation.
Yeah, it is pretty interesting. However, I'm trying to face it from
a more pragmatic approach. I mean, I don't want to start a crusade
against the spammers, I just want a bug tracking system up, working
and free of rubbish for the project.
I can appreciate that.
If it were a plug-in or something that we could just copy into the
Trac directory, it'd be really nice. I don't thinking that start
coding our own work-arounds is a good idea though.
I can also appreciate just wanting to find a plug-in that does what you
want whether it be bug tracking or a web server. ;-)
from looking at http://www.davidsj.com/webhashcash/installation.php it
looks really trivial to put stamping in place but on the other hand, I
do freely admit I live in this world and when you live in a world, many
hard things appear trivial.
So far, we've been using Trac, and it has been working smoothly, but
if it is not able to provide even a basic spam protection (nor a
comment deletion feature) I think the only choice left is to move on
to another bug tracking system. :-(
unfortunately, you will have a similar problem if they don't have the
right protections in place. The situation definitely sucks and I will
talk to the people I'm giving proof of work presentation to about
funding a project for this kind of problem.
