PoW WoW v0.1 is out!

It is a distributed marketplace for event PoW.

Anyone can be a client, offering to buy PoW for their event. And anyone can be a provider, selling hashrate.

A reputation system based on past trade behavior punishes dishonest clients or providers. For example, a client who creates requests but doesn't pay gets a bad reputation. Similarly, a provider who delivers a blinded solution which, after payment and unblinding, turns out to have less bits of PoW than asked by the client, also gets a negative reputation.

There are 3 clients available: WASM, CLI, and a Gossip fork. A CLI provider is available for those who want to try out mining.
