It seems to me that the main issue is bot being able to bypass ADs. It shouldn't be the case and something , in my opinion, you should focus on.
I wasn't aware that bots were good at dealing with captcha (both recaptach and solvmedia) but that's not too surprising either.
This is the main problem, however we try our best to deal with that
An easy thing you can do is implement some basic checks, like who's online and using the site 20 hours a day, or who is clicking 100 times per second. The tricky part is then to deal with them.
Thanks for the suggestion! This is a good point that will be taken into consideration.
Banning IP is not ideal since they often use VPN and different set of IPs. What is important is to:
- prevent the bot from gaining money
- prevent the bot from increasing server load
Yes, this is a good point as well. Banning IP addresses it never a good practice, because IPs are dynamic, you can literally change them any time you want. Of course there are VPNs and Proxy, but we have services that actively detect and block these ^^
To prevent them from gaining money / advantage in the game, you can do a few things:
- flag them and prevent them from withdrawing anything but do not ban them right away so they will waste time before knowing it
- slightly reduce over time their earning (increase the number of low currency and the percentage of mining nothing to make botting not worth it)
To reduce server load from, i'm not sure since I lack experience from that side, but you can probably think of something ^^
This is a good idea to drive hackers mad and make all of their work completely unprofitable, we like this idea
PS : Waiting the new update, any news ^^ ?
It's been a tough month over here lately with a lot of outside work to do, but also with many difficulties from hackers and such...
We try our best to work on the new version, but it might require still a lot of time.. we are sorry
But in the meantime we can keep improving the current service and roll small updates that will be closer to new version!
Many players reported the bug with session disappearing after a really short period of time, thats why we come with a solution!
Now sessions will stay up to 12 hours, we hope this will solve all the problems with CPU Miner and such.
