Actually, since the original paper on the hashcash function and ALL
documentation available refer to it as "hashcash" or "Hashcash", I
_really_ wonder what literature you are refering to?
Maybe the confusion arises because of "hash cash tokens" are being
referred to in a general way sometimes, but that has no relevance to the
actual hascash algorithm, or the actual hashcash tokens.
"hash cash tokens" != "hashcash tokens", and the latter is what the
module calculates and checks. A module that generically implements hash
cash tokens might rightfully be called Algorithm::HashCash or so, but a
module implementing hashcahs tokens must be called "Hashcash" as to
avoid confusion.
