Bitcoin Forum

I have a ccode saved in order to bypass the time waste that is filling a captcha, specially with Tor where you have to cycle through endless circuits in order to find one that works, but I was trying to log in in another computer where I didn't have the ccode saved. It was impossible, I couldn't log in until I went to the other computer where I had the ccode saved. When I click on the captcha it just does the loading circular animation indefinitely and does nothing else.

Would it be possible to fix it somehow, or has Google found a way to completely nuke captchas on Tor? I have tried on another sites, I thought it was the forum, but it's the captcha. I can't no longer register an account on Reddit since the captcha does the same, as well as in other forums. I don't want to rely on VPNs so this sucks. If anyone knows a way to bypass it let me know.

It was always a pain in the TOR. You need to save the captcha bypass url once you are successfully logged in. Using the bypass url you will not be asked for the captcha.

Seems you already have the bypass url. It's already given to you as the solution

VPN is not good like Tor but there are sometimes you may just have to use it. But another thing that probably may help is to reroute the Tor location. I have not tried this before but if the country location is changed, probably this may help but I am not sure. When I am using VPN and set it to a particular country which is France, solving the captcha will become difficult or endless at time, but if I set it to Ukraine, it is the easiest that I have seen.

Admin does not like Cloudflares but he did not find a good alternative for Cloudflare.

Cloudflare does not work well with Tor and captcha on Tor. If  you only use Tor, prepare your backup to use the Captcha bypass code on different device. If you make mistake and feel that current code is no longer save, you can reset it to have a new captcha bypass code.

Writing it down on a paper and bring it to you is not bad backup way because captcha bypass code is not too long and you can type it manually. You can simply write down the code, and don't write your forum account user name.

There is no way to ''fix'' this since nothing it's broken, this was intentionally made to be hard like this especially with Tor browser.
Only way would be if admin replaces g00gle captcha with hCaptcha, that is a bit better version of captcha in my experience, but I am not sure if that works with cloudflare or not.

Yeah I know the captcha was always hell with Google, but the thing is, lately it's just ridiculous, it does no longer give you even the chance to click on pictures or something, it's just stuck forever on this loading loop so there's no chance, and no amount of cycling throught the different Tor node circuits is going to give you an IP that isn't flagged with this nonsense, so you are blocked. Basically you cannot create a new account with Tor anymore since you don't have a ccode. As far as alternatives, 4chan uses some sort of captcha system that works with Tor, or at least it loads last time I checked, but they have banned all Tor nodes from posting anyway, but at least the captcha needs to work.

I think it is a problem for anyone who wants to create a new account/log-in for the first time and cares about privacy.

Here I hope there is an option to obtain a ccode before creating the account and bypass the captcha either by sending a certain amount via the lightning network or signing a message, when the signature is verified or Upon receipt of the amount, you will be redirected to a new page that enables you to create an account without the need for a captcha.

Something like -----> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=register;ccode=XXXXX then you can use the ccode for log in.

I think I found one of the potential reasons why captcha is having a lot of problems with Tor and Firefox browsers, and this is happening everywhere and not just in bitcointalk forum.
g00gle is messing around with their captcha system and they are trying to make life harder for anyone using non chromium based browsers.

There is a way to fix this issue by with small workaround tweak in about:config settings:
