This aspect of PoW stamps was keenly discussed on the Camram list. Yes, its
true that the balance might require that PDA, cellphone and older CPUs
would need to spend a fair amount of time per stamp generation in order to
maintain an effective barrier to spammers, but these less fortunate folk
could also opt to use stamp generator proxies at either their ISP or 3rd
parties (maybe P2P meshes). And over time the computation burden for stamp
minting would need to be slowly increased to stay ahead of increasing
general and specail purpose HW spammers might employ.
What would be the immediate benefit for an ISP (or a P2P mesh) letting me
use their CPU to generate stamps? I known an ISP wouldn't want to allow
that, so maybe a P2P mesh - and what's to stop a spammer from using the
P2P mesh? Certs?
