> 1. How is this attempt different from HashCash, aside from using Monero?

I've never heard of either service, so I checked out both. One big difference between the two is that I knew pretty quickly what Coinhive was and how to use it, but I could never figure out what the heck HashCash does. I suspect if I clicked on one of their many "buy access to the API" links I may get more info, but that's not very cool.
