And where in my comment did I say "Anubis is a cryptocurrency"?
Because, if you re-read my comment:
Anubis a "proof-of-work anti-bot" which performs similar instructions that of cryptomining
Emphasis on "similar instructions that of cryptomining". I used the word "similar":
From French similaire, from Medieval Latin similaris, extended from Latin similis (“like”). [...] Having traits or characteristics in common; alike, allied, comparable.

As for why I'm comparing Anubis to cryptomining:
Iaso [author of Anubis] lists Hashcash as having inspired the [Anubis] project.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anubis/_(software)
Hashcash is a proof-of-work system used to limit email spam and denial-of-service attacks [...] Like hashcash, cryptocurrencies use a hash function as their proof-of-work system

Proof of work was later popularized by Bitcoin as a foundation for consensus in a permissionless decentralized network
