If by a "fallback mechanism" my understanding is correct and you mean "something to fall back too if the client does not support the particular proof-of-work function the server is asking it to compute", we can't do this. If you allow fallback, spammers just won't support the POW function and will register a ton of accounts anyways. If a server advertises that it requires a POW calculation before registration can be completed, it will need to always require support in all clients that register on that server. —Sam _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
