Captchas are just there to provide protection against bots. Bots can't be used if they can't actually get past the captchas. Grin

They can also be used to create revenue for the site admin since many captachas contain ads. Its basically there to make money and slow down traffic so it doesn't become overloaded. Its not really there for bots.

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

I mean, most of the time once a day is renewed, or every time you change the IP.
Because, as you may know, the first time it is used you only have to click and the green check mark appears, but when you use it often, you have to choose the diferent images.
Is not this a weakness, or could be an exploit?

Just fpr protecting from attack from lots of bots logging in and causing a problem similar to a ddos. So captchas will slow down the not traffic if there is some. Mostly its what is done. Works well otherwise they won't do it.

I know that ReCaptcha is obviously good because it prevents the attack of bots and many other reasons but I just feel it is quite annoying to me. Sometimes it does let you sign in with just a click but most of the time I get mad with it.

There are some captchas that gave me photos to choose but honestly I can’t even know what they are. And when some captchas appeared like some abstract paintings, I give up most of the time.

Yes it's useful for protecting your website from attacking by bot but never use captcha world because many out there offer job for captcha writer.
