Iti dai seama ca daca cineva a gasit o varianta open source nu o sa faca public (desi da, asta sugereaza numele)

Da, exista oameni talentati si la noi pe electronica, tu daca ai fi unul din ei si ai reusi sa faci ceva de genul, ai da sfoara in tara? Smiley

cea mai buna varianta, afla cat de multe poti despre cum se fabrica, ce implica, tot ce se poate.
Cauta cativa omuleti foarte buni pe electronica si investe in ei, pune-i la treaba si suporta costurile.
Daca ai noroc, ti-l faci singur.

Yup, numerous reasons recaptcha is bad in the long term.
While it's a great solution to stop bots in their tracks, especially brute force ones, I feel as if in the long run it creates more potential problems.
That said, nothing wrong with using it till a more convenient solution can be implemented.

There's a reason big services (Yahoo, Gmail, Facebook and so forth) don't use it, at least when it comes to the login.

Anyway, there's a potential bug, or rather.. an oversight.

Fixed, thanks!

You're welcome!

Was just a thought, it would obviously need some thinking.

Anyway, there's a potential bug, or rather.. an oversight.

If I click on the login button located in the top left corner it takes me to: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=login
This is fine (obviously) and the login form there displays the captcha.

If you take any action and you're not logged in (for whatever reason) it shows up as this, with no captcha loading:

https://s23.postimg.org/qh9hk7w9n/captcha.png

Example: having a bookmark with https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action= (any action, example: pm reply, thread reply, etc) or using a custom PM notification app and needing to quickly reply or so forth.

It correctly tells me to login but it doesn't display the captcha there, hence I can't login using that form, I have to click again on the top left button so it takes me to the original login form, located at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=login

I'm not using an addblocker or noscript, tried it in multiple browsers, captcha doesn't load in any of them. So I'm guessing it's on your end.

Steps to reproduce:

Make sure you're not logged in.
Have a bookmark in your browser with a link entailing an action, let's use this for example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm
Click the bookmark
Done.

Wouldn't it be more effective to just lock an account at x wrong password attempts, locking it for a few hrs and potentially banning the ip's also?
I mean who forgets their password and tries more than 3-4 times to login? After 3-4 times they'd use the forgotten password, so obviously anything above that would be brute force, hence lock and ban.

I believe Yahoo for example does that after 12 attempts, locks the account for 12 hrs. Facebook and Gmail have something similar.
Point is to make the problem go away, or make the brute force attempt not worth it, not add more hassles to actually login in.

Dunno, seems like it would a lot of trouble as opposed to the captcha challenge.

If you only used Mt.Gox "bitstamp coupons" probably all your money is gone as Mt.Gox has failed in early 2014 and his owner is in jail in Japan
