The currency only works when the users computer targets a TLS-enabled website.
TLS stands for Transport Layer Security, a cryptographic protocol for secure Internet communication.
Cryptocurrencies are a subset of alternative currencies, or specifically of digital currencies.
The researchers suggested that the miners with DDoSCoin blocks could then trade these for other currencies, including bitcoin.
This allows the client to prove to others that it has communicated with the server.
But that number is expected to increase as the encryption standard becomes more widespread, the researchers say.
Botnet owners and other attacks can directly collect rewards for assisting in decentralized DDoS attacks.
While demonstrating their proof-of-concept and assessing their proof-of-DDoS code, the researchers only attacked websites they own.
This distributed computation is a waste of CPU resources.
Anyone can set up PAY_TO_DDOS transactions, even the websites admins themselves.
