I think we should deactivate hashcash by default or remove it.  I think
spammers have more CPU than me, this is just asking for some spammer to
make use of all that zombie CPU.

It was a nice idea (as you recall, I thought highly of it in 2003 too),
but I think it has been appropriately discredited.
