Isn't why there's captcha implementation to block automatic claiming/scripts? afaik google's recaptcha can't be bypassed or solved automatically, so, how would these scripts work?
I think Google may be behind that misconception. Captcha solvers are freely available on the internet for a small fee and I guess the people that create them may well use them themselves.
This is what Wesuit posted when he switched from reCaptcha a while ago.
I've got wrong captchas with this new one in one day more than the old captcha. They are not easier for me for some reason. Can I have the old one please?
But I haven't got the problem with the IP, maybe because no one else in the same network is playing.
I'll probably add an option to switch captchas soon but not for the next few days at least because this new captcha is helping me catch a lot of bots who are not aware of the change and are still submitting old captcha responses.
If the old captcha helped wetsuit catch bots, maybe he should enable it again! he could ban hell a lot of accounts again. he probably can't get rid of bots completely, but he could catch them and ban from time to time.
No m8, google recaptcha can be bypassed, that's why google is trying to improve it every day.
If my memory serves me well, in the beginning you could have ticked only one(or two) fields to prove that you are not bot and 5 times per day ticking wasn't required.
Now it is pain to solve it with all these next buttons, but still, it can be bypassed.
When captcha is bypassed, it is not hard to run script to claim faucet from thousands accounts.
Yep, it indeed can be profitable if one can break/bypass captcha. apparently some people do have such tool/script/bot. i read in pages back, someone was running 50k bots, wetsuit caught the bots and banned them all.
