Yeah - it looks like they're scanning receipts now
I entered '----------'



I mucked up the first three (or took too long) so it gave me three more

Use the refresh curved arrow?

The fact they let blurry garbled nonsense show up should be enough for them to be ditched.

Anybody know how h-crapcha make money? I know they aren't the good guys like they conveniently framed themselves as when everybody was pissed at re-captcha and wanted an alternative.

hCaptcha was created by Eli-Shaoul Khedouri and his team in Vietnam. He founded Intuition Machines Inc in 2017. Early development of hCaptcha involved Khedouri hiring full time workers in Vietnam to match images to labels and to build the dataset. The hiring of these workers was not cost effective. Khedouri switched to using Captcha Farmers. Captcha Farmers are people who get paid a fraction of a cent to solve a CAPTCHA. According to ZDnet, these workers may receive as little as US$2 an hour. hCaptcha was originally designed to run over Intuition's HUMAN Protocol to secure the Ethereum blockchain. In 2019, Fastcompany reported that ~10 million users were interacting with hCaptcha each month and that global technology companies shared hCaptcha's datasets

CAPTCHAs are a defense mechanism to prevent malicious bot programs from abusing websites on the Internet. hCaptcha is a relatively new but emerging image CAPTCHA service. This paper presents an automated system that can break hCaptcha challenges with a high success rate. We evaluate our system against 270 hCaptcha challenges from live websites and demonstrate that it can solve them with 95.93% accuracy while taking only 18.76 seconds on average to crack a challenge. We run our attack from a docker instance with only 2GB memory (RAM), 3 CPUs, and no GPU devices, demonstrating that it requires minimal resources to launch a successful large-scale attack against the hCaptcha system.

The dig deeper, wading into the shite.

hCaptcha has several difficulty modes available for publishers to choose. Today we’ll look at what they do, and the tradeoffs of picking each one.

Note: this post refers to options available to standard hCaptcha users. Enterprise users and platform integrators have more customization options available.

First, let’s navigate to the difficulty slider. You have one per sitekey, and can use sitekeys to target difficulty as needed.

You can use this feature to customize behavior on different sections of your site by simply creating more sitekeys with different settings.

For example, your password reset page might be Always On to reduce abuse, while a form to sign up for a mailing list might be Easy to provide a better user experience.

How Difficulty Modes Affect Behavior

Easy

Choosing this option delivers a standard “no-captcha” experience for most users, most of the time: they may need to answer one or two challenges occasionally, but if their behavior patterns look normal they will in general be auto-passed after that confidence baseline is established.

If their behavior changes (e.g. they become part of a botnet) or other factors override this setting (e.g. their IP is associated with abuse) then they will see more captchas, but in general this is the lowest user frustration setting.

Choosing Easy will also filter the captcha types shown, generally showing those that most users can complete in a few seconds.

Moderate

This option will auto-pass some of the time, but will show challenges more often, and will select more difficult challenge types as necessary to reach a higher confidence in user humanity.

Difficult

This option will in practice auto-pass rarely, and will show more difficult challenge types than Easy or Moderate as well.

Always On

This option will never auto-pass, and will show more difficult challenge types similar to the Difficult setting.
How to Choose

In general we suggest that you choose the lowest setting that remains effective at meeting your security goals, as minimizing user frustration is the thing we all want to achieve.
Additional options for Enterprise Users

Enterprise users also have a wide range of additional options, including:

99.9% Passive

This option will auto-pass most low-risk users most of the time, but will start to show challenges in a variety of circumstances depending on your settings. Please see the enterprise documentation for details.

Passive

This option is a pure “No-CAPTCHA” experience: it will never show a visual challenge, but will always return a bot score to you. Please see the enterprise documentation for details.

FJ seems to have chosen the "IMPOSSIBLE" option....
