    Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers. Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

    > The service would give the request a priority value based on the "difficulty" of the puzzle solution.

    Seems like single clients could increase the difficulty to higher than what the bot net would do (so it gets priority), and hence get access. Operators of the bot net would probably hard code one value as the difficulty, and it would be lower than what you could typically set on consumer hardware.

    Maybe user agents could even do this increase automatically?

    Here is a great write-up by Tevador on the new proof of work function he made for Tor. It borrows heavily from Random X but is optimized for the tor architecture. It even borrows from Zcash old's pow alg. World-class work from Tevador 💪

    From what I can see there, they're going to base it on the Equix algorithm. It's not a "captcha" that the user solves, it's a computational challenge that is hard to solve and easy to verify, so that connecting to an onion site legitimately requires just a tiny amount of computation, but DDoSing will be prohibitively expensive.
