What if you took bitcoin address and turned them into firstbits style addresses and displayed them and users need to enter that correctly as the captcha ?
Can you display only parts of bitcoin addresses in this way programatically ?

What's the diference between that and just grabbing 5 or 6 random letters/numbers?

You cant pay a normal captcha instead of solving it ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Sometimes they are so difficult to solve I just want to tip them a satoshi to let me use the friggin site!

I could see this working if it required a scan of a qr code and then typing it in but i guess that wouldnt work becuase a bot could read qr codes... Idk

Yes, you can pay a normal captcha... http://de-captcher.com is just one of the dozens of sites that have OCR and human solving available for as much as $2 for 1000 captcha solutions. Oh i get it : pay this tiny amount to signup and to prove your not a bot
That will not prove you're not a bot as any bot can do that. Scraping the page to see which amount to send to which address and sending a json-RPC command to bitcoind isn't that difficult.

Currently most captchas are images and that doesn't stop spammers. At most you would only double the cost to solve it, nothing more. You guys are free to implement it. I'll try and break it and if you want. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) BTW, the best captchas around are the one that is used on the Bitcoin Faucet(impossible for a bot to solve) and those SolveMedia ones, which may require 2 or 3 tries, but eventually will be solved.

What if you show a full address but highlight the letters and numbers randomly ? It would be an actual working address and the amount to bypass it would be in a pic too.

If you use html to higlight the letters and numbers it can and will be detected by more advanced bots. If you use a picture to show the full address, nobody will have the guts to write it and send the coin lol

but what if you used your own set of html tags like <firstbits>17ocNsU</firstbits>RFKC<bitcoinsarefun>sGarEiqEgzMx</bitcoinsarefun>xS9WnWAmP6P and you can randomly set where they show up and can confuse bots at least ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

Yes, 1 minute would be what I would need to program a bot to scrape your personalized tags lol regex included. Even if you randomized them, would all be a matter of training and time. You would be surprised with the bots Russians sell nowadays ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ZennoPoster is unstopable ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Well, that captcha in the faucet would stop it, but that's one of the few. Any captcha involving text, be it on the page source or on an image is pretty much dead on arrival. You may not believe it, but I've seen captcha systems that involve composing the image from several smaller images: No problem, it screenshots the page and crops the screenshot and sends the part with the captcha to the captcha solving service. The only ones that are trully working are the ones that involving recognizing an object(non-text) between 3 or 4 pictures or, like I said, the one used on the faucet.

What about combining the image idea along with the highlighted areas?
Or if you absolutly had to use text you could colorize the bitcoin address with 10 different colors and then in an image tell the user what color selected. No bot could solve that! Okay the bot could guess but it would only be correct once out of every ten tries(more times if your lucky)

1.Captcha shows a Bitcoin address + a random number of BTC to pay 2.User pays x.xxxxxxxx BTC 3.User gets 90-99% of his/her coins back after 14 days (unless he/she has been reported by the owner of the website)

This similar to what I figured would be a good idea, the only way to fight bots is with your own bots detecting malicious users. Make them pay a high price to solve the bitcoin captcha, use a bot to monitor if they are spamming, if they are, confiscate their money, if they are not, return it after a period of time.
