Thanks, Mark. I’ve been using WP-hashcash with great success, but it does slam the door on those with JavaScript turned off, and that bothered me. You’re also right that it isn’t quite the same.
What Jeff Barr does is basically the same, except it’s static from what I can see. My goal was to create a system that does what Jeff is doing, but rotates between as many challenges as one cares to set up. It could be just one challenge, or a set of 100.
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
Could you point to some of the previous tries, and some of the user reactions? I’d appreciate it.
Jeff Barr had a solution sometime ago:

WP Hashcash is a javascript solution:

Though hashcash is not quite the same, I know that there is at least one more that I am forgetting. I will post more as and when I think of them.
