The administrators of the SKS servers should be able to choose the level
of complexity of the proof of work using a parameter in the SKS server
configuration file.
Using this parameter they could adjust the complexity of the proof of work :
- to the inevitable increase of performance of CPU/GPU,
- to quickly react by increasing complexity if SKS servers are under
"attack".
