HuPow is a proof-of-work-based messaging system designed to block AI bots from flooding inboxes. It requires senders to perform a computational challenge, supposedly verifying human effort. The idea is incremental and the project lacks technical details or documentation, making it hard to assess its effectiveness.

Target audience: backend developers, security engineers, email service providers
