Let's be proactive about the upcoming Captcha apocalypse.
Hiro has only implicitly stated ONE requirement for any captcha engine used to validate Sup Forums posts - that they are NOT processed server side on Sup Forums. As long as the checking is done so it doesn't add to Sup Forums's server load, I don't think hiro would have any issue - it's not like Sup Forums is making any money off Google Captcha.
Can Sup Forums make a captcha? Are there any alternatives which exist that wouldn't excessively burden Sup Forums?
To be clear - Google's ReCaptcha v2 has two main problems: navigating using only a keyboard is nearly impossible, and solving the captcha itself takes much longer than the old captcha to do, making posting takes 2 to 3 times as long.

>giving money to gook moot so he can put more malicious Javascript on the website >implying gook moot cares about the users of Sup Forums to make the captcha more usable
Carter Campbell
>implying gook moot cares about the users of Sup Forums to make the captcha more usable
you don't understand my point user Captcha is something which doesn't affect the admin of Sup Forums in the slightest
he isn't making any money off of using Google Captcha he isn't getting any special level or access to google analytics through the use of ReCaptcha, nor does this even add value to the site necessarily
the only thing hiro really cares for captcha to do is make sure people or bots can't spam the site with bullshit
implementing a different captcha before March 1st will benefit users who don't want to deal with captcha v2 while not really affecting the site at all
there's no reason not to do it (IF a good alternative exists)
I don't think one does though
Angel Moore
Too late
James Thomas
>implying
Juan Flores
>it's not like Sup Forums is making any money off Google Captcha. it is. as when alternatives were given he denied to use them.
Jackson King
Would you deal with ads on your captcha if it meant avoiding V2?
Jackson Campbell
what board is that? I checked Sup Forums and it works there for me.
Brandon Carter
These are easy for spam bots to solve though
Juan Evans
>it is. as when alternatives were given he denied to use them. yes, he denied to use them because Captcha v2 are processed on Google's servers so they can make their bridge/sign recognition dataset
99% of captcha alternatives are not like this
Parker Wright
Don't forget the dataset for when you have to click on what a robot would say what a car is
Adrian Green
Hiro benefits from captchas being as annoying as possible to sell more passes.
Aaron Roberts
solvemedia captchas seem pretty good, and you don't have to unblock google to use them
Ryan White
>solvemedia captchas seem pretty good, and you don't have to unblock google to use them I would be ok with ads in my captcha if they took
Mason Cooper
reminder that implementing recaptcha and turning Sup Forums into a captcha farm is what got moot the job at google.
hiro will probably be working for google in a few years, too. that's why he'll never ever get rid of recaptcha ever.
Tyler Lewis
>not using v1
Charles Fisher
>he doesn't know v1 will stop working in march
Jeremiah Campbell
Oh fuck
So what happens to clover?
Jayden Smith
you use v2
Connor Clark
the mobile app? will most likely just use v2
anyway, a community created/hosted captcha would be great. start nagging the staff on irc. i'll start working on the logo
Blake Murphy
>So what happens to clover? w-what? how is this even relevant?
v1 captcha is being removed across the internet
not just Sup Forums, not just clover
Jordan Jenkins
If crypto coins can be mined on the browser then is possible to mine captchas. Use mined captcha to be used by another user.
Liam Roberts
hopefully phonefags die off
Tyler Jones
well shit RIP
Brayden Perry
SolveMedia? I liked the original SolveMedia he had cool movies and shows references. but I prefer him over Google ReCaptcha V2 which is a bit slow, sometimes cannot load properly, needs too many clicks
Julian Brown
Does typing "V1 UNSUPPORTED" works? is that a regional issue?
Elijah Morgan
>If crypto coins can be mined on the browser then is possible to mine captchas. Use mined captcha to be used by another user. Coinhive has mining based CAPTCHAs This would also solve the phoneposter problem because it drains their batteries.
Alexander Barnes
Still works on clover app
Jason Peterson
Why not use the same exact captcha 8ch uses?
Justin Jones
test
also I feel like someone is going to find a funny exploit to spam the site to death
Brandon Murphy
ARE YOU SAYING ME THIS WERX?! OH... user...!
Thomas Ross
Hiromoot why. What is this shit. What is your problem.
Chase Cook
>What is your problem. it's not his fault brainlet
it's Google's
James Nguyen
there is no fucking way typing that would work
Lincoln Murphy
>tfw will never get interesting captchas again
Joshua Wright
Looks like Coinhive is our winner.

1. close your Sup Forums tab 2. get a life 3. if #2 is too difficult; move to another chan. There are tons of them still around.
Liam Cooper
>enjoy browsing Sup Forums in my free time >have a suggestion about a change which will make Sup Forums slightly worse >"why don't u just get a life???"
calm down dude it's gonna be ok
Connor Morgan
> moot at jewgle Since when?
Joseph Walker
>navigating using only a keyboard is nearly impossible Literally use the numpad then press enter twice
Carter Gutierrez
>Since when? have you not browsed Sup Forums in like three years
"let us burn your CPU out for a minute to gain the privilege to make 1 shitpost oh btw if you block it the entire site breaks"
Luke Sullivan
>ads are cool >every website being malicious software is the future
did you only make this thread to shill bullshit?
Dylan Collins
just reload the image and you will get a valid one, we have until March nigga
Benjamin Lopez
it shows up on any board when Google tries to load a V1 captcha image, there probably arent that many of those still in their system
Jackson Diaz
>it shows up on any board when Google tries to load a V1 captcha image, there probably aren't that many of those still in their system I exclusively use v1 and have never seen it
James Gomez
i saw it once yesterday, just clicked on it and it relaoded a new capctcha
Thomas Allen
i remember on 8ch when hotwheels and josh was still there they solved this exact problem by taking some open sauce captcha and i think they then improved it somewhat. it seems they have it strong enouh now and no external site is required. literally just take the code, it should be open source under openib or something.
Hudson Reed
the Sup Forums dev probably has too much pride to do this
SolveMedia had no ads before, only cool references
Colton Garcia
Just remove the captcha to bring back the golden age of posting
Thomas White
Fuck off.
Nathan Ortiz
no you.
Austin Allen
Either: >Hiro lowers the captcha difficulty (yes you can) Or >Use solvemedia, which is text captcha with more potential memes
This can be solved, but Hiro is a lazy fucker and would instead add Ukrainian malware
Blake James
it's dead, says it's unsupported, had to post with image captcha
Josiah Martinez
>>Hiro lowers the captcha difficulty He won't. He even made it harder. Recently the captcha was reloading images for a hole fucking minute before accepting that Im not a bot.
David Clark
end of an era, lads
Carter Gray
if it burned my CPU for the amount of time it takes me to solve a v1 captcha, I think I'd find that bearable more so than the usual data mining shit, at the very least
Benjamin Reed
What seems to be the problem here?
Gabriel Mitchell
Your mom
Benjamin Taylor
>Hiro lowers the captcha difficulty (yes you can)
...he can lower the difficulty on captcha? HE CAN LOWER THE FUCKING DIFFICULTY ON CAPTCHA?
