8 Additionally, you could even allow the client to pass a number, that

10 computation.

12 If there was an ID generation option that allowed me to, once, request
13 a challenge that takes an hour to complete, in exchange for getting a
14 higher "trust" vector, I'd do that.

16 Then you could present reports and whittle the results down by minimum
17 trust level.

19 ( And then after the fact, one can adjust the minimum trust level of a
20 UID key to submit, so if UID keys below a certian trust level become
21 problematic, you can easily start rejecting them, and demand they
22 re-key with a higher trust level )
