I too would love anubis to use better CS, if available. Perhaps you have some ideas for @xena, instead of just letting anubis continue on the trajectory of iterating its PoW approach?
replySame here. But of course and as expected; 5 hours later, the GP comment offers no proper solutions for this "better computer science" they speak of.
replyIt shows they really don't care and they are just rage-baiting readers in their weekly grumpiness without any suggestions.
Unless they come up with said "solution", they can completely ignored in their complaints.
I had a fairly long conversation with Xe privately about this and didn't feel the need to repeat it here, especially since (as the search box will tell you) I've already talked about this before. But, do go on.
replyI looked at your comments and there's a bunch saying that Anubis is bad CS but none I could find saying what, exactly, you want Anubis to do instead. You sure are posting a lot about how it's bad, though.
replyIt is interesting, this particular user seems extremely active in this thread. I'm not sure if they have a bone to pick with Anubis in particular or some other reason for disliking the software so much, but to me it does seem overzealous. Regardless of if it's "bad computer science" or what, Anubis works quite well and is easy to customise to target it to specific botnets, as I've done. And this is coming from someone trying to develop her own non-PoW anti-scraper system.
replyWe are not asking you to repeat the full conversation here. We just want the actual solution that was discussed.
replySo could you give a short elaboration on what was this "better computer science" solution that you came up with in your discussion?
