May suggest a different mechanism for distribution, instead of captchas?
The idea is to make the distribution as balanced as possible relative to the number of people who are going to want to get free coins, and to their physical ability to solve captchas. This would also make irrelevant the automatic captcha solvers.
Make a small desktop / web application which does some proof of work based on a lot of RAM (like 2...4 GB). The idea is to make CPUs as efficient or more efficient than videocards and ASICs.
The result of a day of work (on an average computer) of this application would be a string which is sent to you through a website. This string contains the necessary information to validate the proof of work (in the same application).
For the valid proofs of work, you can then manually (or automatically) distribute the coins to the participants.
You allow this for a limited time, like a month, or whatever.
What you need for the proof of work: * A (random) seed which you generate only immediately before you make the final build and release the application to the public. This will prevent precomputation. * An address for the account which will receive the coins. * A timestamp. This is used to generate different proofs of work for the same address. * Possibly a counter, depending on the proof of work algorithm.
As you can see this is a like mining, but very limited in time (and therefore energy) and without the immense complexity of implementing one into the coin itself.
Distribution through faucets is much more fair.

Hi dev, this project looks very serious. I like it. So, my opinion is that the distribution through faucets is much fair and everyone can do it. Good luck.

Hi dev, i would like to know if the price in the internal exchange (15$) will be the same in external exchanges. thanks
Hello everyone! We're just giving a quick update here.
We are currently in talks with getting a 3rd dev on the team, specifically someone who's specialized in vulnerability testing to ensure Manta is as secure as it can be on release! We're also on target for releasing our whitepaper in mid-Febuary, and are content with our current progress.
I guess there are big miners now. Difficulty and networkhash are raising very fast Example, in 10 minutes, difficulty went from 0.01847143811427009 to 0.08755394049511697
There is no pool setup yet.. how can that be possible ?
