If businesses can simply buy their way around the problem they’ll do exactly that. . . . you’re forced to wait by PoW
I don’t understand. An employee of the business writes the message, then hits send, which causes the provable work to be done by some computer somewhere after which the message is delivered. (The code to do that when a person hits send does not currently exist, but it is only a few lines of code, and if your proposal gets adopted by many people, then such code will come into existence.)
When is this waiting that you refer to? Is the fact that there is a delay between the hitting of the send button and the delivery of the message supposed to act as a deterrent somehow?
If the provable work is something that only a human can do, i.e., cannot effectively be automated, then why did you mention BOINC?
