Hashcash PoW Faucet

This small project is a tribute to Hashcash and early cypherpunks and combines two ideas:

• Hashcash-style Proof of Work: Every signup and claim requires solving a stateless PoW challenge, inspired by the original Hashcash anti-spam mechanism.
• Crypto-inspired accounts: Each user gets a "private key" after a PoW signup challenge that is stored in this browser and used to authenticate with the server. The server tracks your HCC using an address derived from this private key, similar to a very simple wallet address, but never stores the key itself.
• No registration or personal data: You can create and use an account without email, username, or KYC. The server only sees anonymous keys and derived addresses, and there is no traditional signup form.
• Limited account creation per IP/day (demo rule): For fairness and to limit abuse, this demo only allows a limited number of signups per IP address per day.
