What if I take an ASIC, make it mine, and people can pay 10$ to me to have these PoW keys or even better these PoW endorsements (so you can use the same old key), in order to get a "golden badge" displayed next to their name on clients, as a form of anti-impersonation.
Like, I would pay for it, and other would as well I think.
And if the market for anti-impersonation service gets big enough, it can actually work at scale.
