Title: Endless CAPTCHA
Post by: Frankwood on September 29, 2018, 07:50:30 PM
I have a problem when trying to visit forum from Tor browser. CAPTCHA can't be passed. I have selected around 100 fire hydrants and traffic lights without success.

Help  ???

That’s an issue with Tor. There is not much you can do other than selecting a new identity or a new circuit for the website to get a new IP.

New circuit works! Thank you!
I don't have merits, so check your Bitcoin address that listed in your profile  ;)

I just now enabled Cloudflare's "onion routing", which is supposed to fix that, though I have some concerns about it, so we'll see how it goes.

Edit: It doesn't seem to actually be doing anything yet, though. Maybe it takes some time to come into effect, or maybe there's some other issue.

I think you have to send those bitcoin to Og now ;D.

As long as you don't plan on sleeping straight after the update then we're probably good ;).

Captcha can make you think the earth is flat because it drives you INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE.
So that's what that thread is about?

Cloudflare's "onion routing" wont fix the problem of Endless CAPTCHA. CAPTCHA is served by Google and Google does not like Tor. The problem can only be resolved if you enable a .onion mirror of BitcoinTalk and disable Google's CAPTCHA from login form.

Don't allow that to happen... We don't want a removal of captchas entirely.
Although I do wonder what was wrong with the old system (other than I think you had to pay for the captchas and they might have been to clear for bots to detect the writing in them)...

Since I don't use Tor for bitcointalk.org, please post for the next few days whether things are getting better or worse on this front, or staying the same. The increase in captchas may be a temporary condition. I will continue to investigate options.

OP might be a new bride on heat and that surely is the dowry. Let's see how the toasting game goes.

We might need a heterosexual priest here for the wedding later. Volunteers are welcome...  :o
