Prosopo could cut out a lot of the residential proxy nonsense for you. We integrate with lambda@Edge / cloudfront workers / server side and perform analytics to detect residential …

They talk about bringing these samples back to earth but don't mention how. Have they already planned how to get perseverance and its samples back?

It's just a concept, not a real test. Captcha are already expensive at scale due to escalating checks when abuse is detected. You have to orchestrate and pay for residential proxie…

So far its cost me $2.27 to submit a contact form 3 times - why is this better than a captcha solver with human solves at 1000 per $2? On your automation, your tool fed back to me …

It's either that or you tie tickets to government ID like in France. If the arbitrage opportunity is more than the cost of automation then someone will exploit it.
