+ expiration time of EPOCH. Applications MAY calculate proofs
+ with a difficulty that is higher than D by providing POW
+ values where there are (on average) more than D bits of leading zeros.
+ With each additional bit of difficulty, the
+ lifetime of the proof is prolonged by another EPOCH.
Consequently, by calculating a more difficult PoW, the lifetime of the
proof can be increased on demand by the zone owner.
