Of note:

> Doesn't this undermine the security of Anubis? - It shouldn't do. The idea behind Anubis seems to be that mass scrapers can't be bothered to bypass it, not that they can't. But also, this tool doesn't bypass it - we compute the PoW legitimately!

So basically a tool for offloading the computing of the PoW to somewhere else, not a way of skipping the computation itself.
