What are alternatives to annoying captchas?

[chmod755]

Is there a better solution to combat spam and not to annoy the end user?

I hate it when recaptcha asks me to solve 20 different pictures.

What are your thoughts?

Asking generally or particularly for bitcointalk because we already have Captcha bypass: https://bitcointalk.org/captcha_code.php by using this you can bypass these annoying captchas but you need to be logged in first to access your login code.

Or if you are asking generally there are some services but its just better to keep your logged in on that device forever.

Do you use a VPN service?

If that's so, that might be the reason why you have to solve tons of captchas every time you visit or login into a website.

AFAIK, there is no solution on this one unless you find some service that has a software to do it for you, I don't know any if there's one.

Yes I know how you feel for the annoying captchas. I am using Tor to connect to this site and I do need to do captcha for sometimes 10 times for the pictures.

It can become frustrating but if we want the privacy it is something we need to do. I do not know if you are using a vpn or Tor but it is the problem.

20 captchas? is this really possible?

Yes, and you will be forced into solving such captchas when you browse via the TOR browser.

Did you read the first reply, for bitcointalk we have Captcha bypass: https://bitcointalk.org/captcha_code.php which was implemented for TOR users to avoid the unlimited captchas need to be solved to log in.

Asking generally

Yes. It's not just bitcointalk.

Yes, I am using a VPN. I know VPN IPs have a bad reputation, because they are used for hacks and spam by some people, etc.

20 captchas? is this really possible?

It is possible when using a VPN, Tor, or if you're in a country with bad IP reputation like Nigeria or India.

I don't think IP has any reputational quality and captchas to prove you are a human so while using VPN or TOR, the IP will keep varying dynamically so the system analyzes the IP changes and considers this as an attack which is the reason you are getting too much captchas for verification.

I've had this idea about an alternative to captchas:
a sort of Proof-of-Work executed by browsers via WebAssembly.
Similar to the now-defunct CoinHive service, but like, used for verifying that you are not a bot.
could still be bypassed by bots, but would be more expensive as you would have to get a CPU mining rig just to verify captchas.

another advantage of such a service is that you earn mining fees too.

Unfortunatly I am not aware of any such service.

Maybe keeping Mic on and repeating the number you see on screen.

I don't think anybody gets annoyed more than myself on this captcha stuff. Sometimes you will keep picking pictures up to 5 minutes before it gets verified. Another means of verification should be introduced as soon as possible

I don't think there is a remedy to this menace that has befell Internet users in the name of verification

it seems that you use vpn or visit and click on the site repeatedly so it is thought that bots make the chaptcha sometimes we have chosen the right one but still cannot be solved.
