Resource metering through client-side computationally intensive "electronic payments" can provide an alternative strategy in defending against brute force guessing attacks.
The first question I had was, Why not just use a turing test. It's simple and, theoretically, only humans can distinguish the passphrase. It requires much less overhead. Obviously this would be used in addition to a password. That's my two cents.
