I guess these words may be interpreted as
the competition has been always here.

I didnt know about the bounty youve mentioned, but now Im sure it's worth thinking on the ideas.
I can't help thinking that there have to be guaranteed ways of spotting bots. I mean, I know from your earlier post that bots can be re-coded in a matter of a few hours and thus they can adjust to any new implementation pretty quickly, but I think there has to be an idea of something which is immune to that.
Best way is to shut up shop and walk away (or in wetsuit's case, run away)

.
Onto the issue, it is (or should be) well known that a lot of popular sites have 'security' bounties available. Bitcointalk has one too for example.
The issue with bots is that you can never be 100% immune to them because they will always find a loop hole in the system that they can exploit...
