IMO a simple way to think about securing a computer with Bitcoin is to gate access through Lightning. Instead of exposing direct root or shell access, you require a Lightning invoice to be paid before any command can be executed.

For personal use, you’re paying yourself to unlock access, which creates a controlled and auditable permission layer. For anyone external, every interaction, every command must be paid for in real time. Turn access into a metered, economic function rather than a binary permission. Use proof of work to enforce cost of action.

An attempt to solve no free probing, no unlimited attempts, and ddos via scale. Every action carries a cost, and that cost can be tuned dynamically. The system becomes self-defending by pricing access instead of trying to block it entirely.

It’s a shift from “who is allowed” to “what is worth paying for” using Bitcoin as the enforcement layer.

Now is this possible to implement in code? Don’t ask me.
