Re your 1. "PoW as an anti-spam measure":
I'm working on PoW WoW, a distributed marketplace for event PoW. Can be used by mobile clients who can't afford to mine themselves, allows miners to join or leave at will, and be paid non-custodially over LN.
It has Rust libraries for clients and providers, but I can add bindings for other languages too.

quoting note1qqq…r9ddPoW WoW v0.1 is out!
It is a distributed marketplace for event PoW.
Anyone can be a client, offering to buy PoW for their event. And anyone can be a provider, selling hashrate.
A reputation system based on past trade behavior punishes dishonest clients or providers. For example, a client who creates requests but doesn't pay gets a bad reputation. Similarly, a provider who delivers a blinded solution which, after payment and unblinding, turns out to have less bits of PoW than asked by the client, also gets a negative reputation.
There are 3 clients available: WASM, CLI, and a Gossip fork. A CLI provider is available for those who want to try out mining.
