I love this concept of proof-of-work captchas, but there's a growing number of tools and ways to bypass IP blocks via IP rotation[1], specially after the explosion of IaaS providers. How do you intend to tackle this?

There are free and paid list of all ip addresses from datacenters like https://udger.com/resources/datacenter-list, they probably existing for specifically preventing this, so maybe thats an option here.
