You have not seen captchas if you have not seen TOR Marketplace logins. Sometimes it takes me 5-7 tries to get in. After that I feel really human.
Those are to keep out cops, not bots.
Could you share more Information? How do these captchas look like and what are the tasks?
I am just curious, as I probably won’t even lurk on these hidden services.
First rule of TOR Marketplace logins; don't describe TOR Marketplace logins.
Dayum, I must be glowing like a star
They are a mix of small sorting games with a time limit and visual quizzes that can get really hard to solve. There was one where you have to rotate three small round pictures inside another picture to match the background picture that is basically just noise. Every market has its own multistep captcha system and they change quite a lot. Some are creative, some are just nightmare. The hardest ones are those where you have to solve multiple rotations of miniature „pictures“ that are like ultra close ups of things with an extreme compression and noise and somehow you have to decide if they are houses or bridges. The compression is so bad, you can barely even make out what those rotated 30x30 grey pixel smush are. And there are 6 of them you have to solve in a certain time. I ran into timeouts constantly and have to start over.
