Title: Does EpochTalk have its own CAPTCHA?
Post by: 100bitcoin on October 19, 2019, 06:29:53 PM
Or it uses Google ReCAPTCHA similar to BitoinTalk?

Apparently neither (for now).

You can see it here: https://cryptos-currencies.com

But they will 100% have to implement one to fight the bots.

There are a couple of references on the Github repository to Captcha, so it is definitively being dealt with, and perhaps it is not finished and/or not enabled on the test sites that are around:

Then apparently they will keep using reCAPTCHA.

From one of the issues in that link:

Already solved. See public/recover.html line 67

If recaptcha variables are not set, recaptcha element does not load; users can freely send password resets. Verified this claim by not setting variables and trying to do password reset locally.

@wangbus please double check my claims 👍

Which is expected since theymos already said he needs to use reCAPTCHA as his own solution could be easily bypassed.
