POW Captcha: a lightweight, self-hosted proof-of-work captcha | Hacker News

A good friend of mine who I highly respect (@markwylde) suggested to me that instead of having a CAPTCHA on the Registration view, we instead use a PoW (Proof of Work).

See linked article above.

Here's a demo of one I found: https://git.sequentialread.com/forest/pow-captcha

The only downside to this is it obviously requires Javascript.

So... What if we instead just have a hidden input field, a "honey pot field", that if filled out we assume the agent was a bot? A human would never fill it out, because it's well umm hidden πŸ˜…

This is relation to this issue

I have to say after watching that video and the level of "force" Microsoftβ„’ place on their users to use Microsoft Edge is just mind blowing! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ I will say this at least... At least Appleβ„’ don't do this kind of sutpid ass shit and force their users to use Safari or iTunes or whatever other default apps come pre-installed. In fact to date, the only built-in Apple app I use is iMessages -- only because that's what is also used on iPhones for SMS basically.

@mckinley No VP9+Opus doesn't work on Mobile Safari either. Tried that before. The only reliable thing that works is MPEG-4/MP4 and H.264
