There is alot of services that provide solving the captchas (paid ofcourse but still,if an ICO want they can easily pay for it,doesn't cost much money)
I've heard of this, but I never understood how that works. A captcha pops up on my screen when I go to log into bitcointalk--how the hell can someone else solve it? How does someone solve captchas for money? I'm probably being dense and missing something obvious.
Quite simple.Every captcha has an ID,the bot takes the ID of the captcha you get when you login (automatically detects it I guess) and upload it to 2captcha server (just an example of service).Next,those services also have an earning program (People solve captchas for money $0.4-$0.8 per 1000 I guess? Don't ask me why they do that for pennies -rip these poor souls) so in short,your captcha is solved by someone else using the captcha ID)
