Blocking whole countries do not work either... i see one email collecting every couple of min.. this is due to not having a timer on the email but if they are making false email accounts whats the point....i am at a dead stop with this problem..
@Gifted I am new here but been reading this post for about two hours now. And been wondering how to effectively
STOP BOTS from doing so much damage. I know everyone here has way more experience than myself.
I am ( In my little squirrel brain ) ( And yes not much room for thinking either ) mind ( hint smoke coming out of ears ) two things that come to mind are Log-in and Time on Site after Log-in.
Example #1
1) ABC user comes to site.
2) ABC user has to enter bitcoin wallet address or for Xapo a email address.
3) ABC user has to Solve Captcha.
4) ABC user is credited with xxx amount of satoshi.
***BOTS use a Captcha Service to Solve the Captcha's***
If the previous BOT or Hacker is running consecutive transactions is he/she or it having to Solve Captcha's before the transaction or has this BOT or person found a weakness in the script where they can call the same Captcha over and over. Not exactly sure how they would be able to freeze that Captcha but in theory it is possible and can explain how they are able to process so many transactions in a short period of time.
I would like to ask if you are able to incorporate two ideas into the script and close all back doors for Captcha problems.
1) I know it is more of a bother than anything for any site to use a Password. But if we want the script to be secure we need to incorporate counter measures to STOP them. I would propose to add a Random Password from
Random ORG with a Timer on it to input the Password or PassCode ( In theory it takes 20 seconds to see the code or password and enter it ) maybe longer if you are blind like me. By limiting the time on the Password or PassCode it stops the BOT from having time get it solved from a outsourcing place. This is for being able to
STOP the BOT from entering. As the Password or PassCode is a one time thing and can not be duplicated for other users to benefit from.
2) If that is too much trouble then I would suggest as a last resort to have the user verify the Xapo email by sending them a Password or PassCode to enable automatic withdrawals. Which means the BOT or person would be hindered and frustrated so they would quit trying to hack it. As it keeps Honest Users Honest and DisHonest Users Away.
3) Use both methods and change the time limit on the Captcha Solving to under 20 seconds and Password or PassCode times to less than 20 seconds to respond. Adjust the time accordingly if needed.
