Title: Regarding the Google Captcha added today when logging here
Post by: BitcoinSupremo on August 14, 2017, 10:55:45 AM
I see there is a captcha I have to do before I can log in. This is a very good security measure but the bad thing is that I see only Google Captcha which many times even when you click correct squares it shows as wrong.

I think that Solvemedia is a much better captcha as one have only to type two words in order to log in.

This got added to the registration page too (+ the old captcha), It should prevent the bots from being created, or at least make it harder. A lot of sites use ReCaptcha from google and I never had issues with it personally, Its possible that you are not clicking the new captcha that appear because after you click some, they start to fade and new ones will appear.

I am doing everything correctly. I am clicking images with street signs that do not disappear like the ones you say (usually with cars and roads to click they disappear) , click all these street signs correctly and google gives me error. When it gives me captcha with cars or roads I do them swiftly. Anyway I can live with that although I know that Solvemedia works better.

I agree.  Didn't work for me at all. Only worked on Chrome. Forum isn't that good on the browser unfortunately.

IIRC SolveMedia can be abused very easily by bots, or at least more than reCaptcha can. I think that reCaptcha is the best solution currently.

Technically,there are no solutions,just precautions.In the coming days,Google Captcha will be solved by the bots anyway.
The feature is good on the security side but makes the process irritating that you have to put captcha everytime you log out of the account.I wonder when is the new forum coming into practice if the developments are still continued on this one.

+1. I'm using Opera Mini on my mobile earlier this morning but apparently I can't complete the captcha given by Google. Solvemedia is better since it also works on browsers that doesn't support flash (like the version of Opera Mini I'm using). But anyways, everything is alright in Google Chrome and Mozilla. A nice addition to the forum to further decrease bots that creates spam threads in several boards.

I really dont have any issue with the captcha and even after I read the Administrator explanation, I know its for the betterment of the forum but the concern here is the difficulty I faced login in from a mobile which was even not possible right from the longer time it took for the captcha to load, down to the error messages after doing it correctly, I would subscribe to the Solvemedia where you just have to solve a simple mathematics or anything related to that in other to gain access.

TOR bundle users:  If you have your security settings set on HIGH you cannot access the captcha.  By dropping the setting to one position lower, and since this site is https, the capthca will pass through TOR with no issues.  I suspect there are lots of tor users here, so if you are reading without being signed in this fixed it easily for me.

Recently there are many newbie accounts shilling for some new shitcoins, same coins claiming to be better than Bitcoin while they are ICO tokens.

If it was up to me I'd add 5 recaptchas for every login, that will also reduce the attacks.
