Padmé: So they’ll disallow Anubis (a “proof-of-work anti-bot” which performs similar instructions that of cryptomining; ironically, it’s used by Codeberg themselves), right?
Anakin: …
Padmé: …right?
And where in my comment did I say “Anubis is a cryptocurrency”?
Because, if you re-read my comment:
Anubis a “proof-of-work anti-bot” which performs similar instructions that of cryptomining
Emphasis on “similar instructions that of cryptomining”. I used the word “similar”:
From French similaire, from Medieval Latin similaris, extended from Latin similis (“like”). […] Having traits or characteristics in common; alike, allied, comparable.
Hashcash is a proof-of-work system used to limit email spam and denial-of-service attacks […] Like hashcash, cryptocurrencies use a hash function as their proof-of-work system
But Codeberg just doesn’t want cryptocurrency scams, and Anubis isn’t a currency, it has no ability to pump and dump like cryptocurrencies can. Proof-of-work to weed out bots has little similarity in practical usage with proof-of-work to waste electricity for a digital number that is more often a scam than not.

Anubis isn’t a currency, though.
