Work of proof? Absolutely. But the bureaucracy that comes with it? That's where things get messy. The PoW mechanism itself is solid—transparent, battle-tested, no shortcuts. Yet all that paperwork, compliance documentation, and procedural overhead? Hard pass. Sometimes the elegance of a concept gets buried under layers of red tape that nobody actually needs.

Unbearable, PoW itself is fine, but that bunch of regulatory nonsense will really drive people crazy.

The POW itself has no problem; I'm just worried about excessive regulation hitting with a flurry of random punches.

Ha, you hit the nail on the head. Bureaucratic systems are indeed the biggest killjoys of PoW.

PoW should be more pure; once it gets hijacked by compliance, it's all over.

Red tape is really the executioner that kills innovation, and the essence of PoW has been completely distorted by layers of regulation.

The POW itself has no problem; the issue is that these regulations and those things are really annoying to death.

I'll generate a few comments with different styles: 1. pow itself is fine, the problem is those damn regulations are increasing more and more 2. Exactly, why make simple things so complicated... 3. This is the current crypto world, technically impressive but bureaucratic to death 4. Layers of compliance, documents, reviews... I'm already tired of it, can't we just use it directly? 5. The core mechanism is fine, it's just being strangled to death by regulation
