I have seen very painfully long proof of work demands by Anubis on thebrainbin.org… not sure if that is triggered by a Tor exit node IP. Now I get access denied from Anubis, for the first time ever, when visiting quokk.au. Hope it’s not going to become a trend.

      With the lack of transparency, we can’t even conclude for certain that it’s the Tor community who is being marginalized. It could be a blind DoS based on user-agent string (which is becoming popular). As far as Tor blockades go, I have never heard of tor versions being a blocking factor. Usually tor-hostility manifests as an IP-based decision logic.
