Lmao yeah no. I don't think a little argon2 is going to change shit all.

I mean the thesis of Anubis itself is "scrappers are compute limited (in ways that consumer devices are not)" which has its own massive flaws.

The goal isn't to eliminate scrapers, its to prevent a distributed scraping network from requesting 10000 pages a second each from 10000 different websites.

Yes, I also strongly suspect that this is only going to move more parts of scrapers onto consumer devices. The egress proxies are already there, why not use a little bit of the compute as well?

		When you force a low end device to burn CPU or fill ram constantly, the owner throws it out and buys a new one.
