Well you(plural form dedicated to claimers) did want to change google captcha because of illegal pools and bots which caused high threshold , another option to it was audio captcha , if you do not like it aswell maybe the best thing to do is to stop distribution right ? Why don't you go and give your suggestions on telegram or slack ?

[t3ChNo]

big thing will happen on november 2017 i cant wait 

Yes based on the roadmap. I hope they get the wallet work flawlessly.

voice captcha is not changing after claim i have to refresh page

[Carmen01]

I try this new audio captchas hour by hour but i cant take to claim because of the sound and so slow earning now can you back the old captchas like the car,bridge or etc. the bot cant detect that because that is so big right?just suggest for fast captchas and also for good earnings

same here. sometimes, the guy's voice is unbearable to hear! the voice behind is much more louder than him. It's also very slow and more and more negative claims we got because of that stupid audio captcha.

RaiBlocks Newsletter 11th September 2017 (Issue: 4)

Welcome to the fourth issue of the RaiBlocks newsletter, apologies for the delay in releasing this newsletter, I’ve been caught up in a lot of RaiBlock related projects!

Core Wallet/Node Development
After a lot of work Version 8.0 was released on 26th August 2017, it included significant improvements in syncing especially from zero as well as reduced IO load. It is recommended that users upgrade to this version, more information can be found here https://github.com/clemahieu/raiblocks/releases/tag/V8.0
Since the release there has been 4 further commits and development will continue.

RaiBlocks Road Map
After a bit of work the Dev team have put together a road map showing our plans for the next few months. https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/e/2PACX-1vTFdRMiusLr7K7OfpaoyUBPyFuFTwGeKZ-uBz_70h4tHhaa7v5joUcHv6-N1qYMJAwbZG-34ko338sU/pub?w=960&h=720

Third Party Services
YapRai Shop
RaiBlocks has its first webshop, built as a demonstration but also functioning with real products you can check our the YapRai Webshop (https://shop.yapraiwallet.space). Current products are vinyl laptop stickers and all transactions are in XRB, we’ll ship anywhere in the world!

@xrb_giveaway
As demonstration of possible uses we have put together a example about how RaiBlocks could be used as a microtransaction system on twitter. In @xrb_giveaway if you have your xrb address in your profile and retweet a tweet you’ll get a small reward. To know whether there is a reward look for RT10:1XRB, this means that the first 10 retweets will get 1XRB.

User Interview
Luis Hidalgo (on Telegram)
1. How did you find out about RaiBlocks
I found about raiblocks thanks to a friend who gave me an account to test the faucet. Then I started to learn on my own

2. Where do you think RaiBlocks will be in the next 6 months
I believe raiblocks will reach a lot of people around the world, thanks to the greatness of the xrb and the faucet itself. It is easy to claim and it is fair for everyone. Hope that all the systems (wallets, faucet, coin, exchange) get to bigger services, such as bittrex and more...

3. What do you use RaiBlocks for?
I use raiblocks for the reward in xrb. With it I have learned how to trade in different currencies and read the growing market. If it wasn't for raiblocks, I wouldn't be able to see the potential of the cryptocurrency. I have been months using it and it has been a fulfilling experience

4. What is the coolest feature of RaiBlocks
The coolest feature about raiblocks its his diversity of wallets. You can use the official or third-party such as yaprai or telegrambot with no problems at all. The faucet it self it's the main feature, but it still has a lot to improve to become perfect

Technical Analysis of a Feature
What are representatives?
To keep the network healthy there is a system of voting and consensus, if you left your wallet online all the time then your wallet helps contribute to this. A representative is an account that you chose who can vote on your behalf but cannot spend your balance.  This way you can keep your wallet offline and your balance can still be used for consensus. Voting and Consensus is key for the network to overcome forks (however due to the wallet and protocol design these are near non-existent). The more representatives on the network the better so if you are running a node/wallet 24hrs a day then this would be a great thing to do.

Next Newsletter
Still keen for submissions, reviews and news, happy to donate xrb for your time.

Great! 2018 will be the boom year of raiblock. Thanks dev for your efforts

Most of these people who whine about sound captcha sounds to me you've invested SOMETHING more than your effort to begin with. Common guys, its free, it helps make the faucet and the project itself back on its feet, trampling even the bots and pools.

The thing is, the audio captcha was used to purge you greedy people including bots and pools who wants to do more than 500 captcha/hr and make the threshold go so high up that even your mamas can't keep up. -_- The audio captcha is a good thing for those earnest, honest hardworkers out there! Kudos!!

Meanwhile, the roadmap is going to be a good show of devs for people "underestimating" them. Goodluck on keeping up whiners! Btw you can get free xrb on twitter, by retweeting their posts @xrb_giveaway. Make sure you have your xrb address on your profile. 😃

I tried the voice captcha, it is really hard to understand, but its the best protection from bots, so it is OK and better than Text captchas.

[chan2x]

Good job ! I like the audio captcha. Please do not change it to stop bots/pools and those people who are always complaining  . Just improve it, maybe 5 seconds per captcha.

[Adriano2010]

Will be great if raiblocks hit bittrex. I really waiting that moment and we will see the price boom to the moon.

Bittrex will definitely add Raiblocks on there exchange, the only question is when.  
This project is to good to be only on that small exchange.

You are always talking about honest distribution.
Voice captcha is not an honest distribution. Because you give advantage to English-speaking users.
Given that for many users the English language is not native it's not fair.
Numbers or letters or pictures all see the same.
BUT hearing my native language or English is a big difference.
And this is not fair.

Why is this unfair?
I think all people who have found out about raiblocks know the numbers 0-9, thats not so hard.
