It's also the single largest inhibitor to being able to use Tor on a daily basis.
I really like the idea of Tor and would like to use it as my daily driver. When I try, nearly every website I visit (thanks cloudflare) forces me to spend several minutes trying to solving recaptchas. Despite my best efforts at solving them correctly it usually takes several attempts.
I've written scripts that use the APIs of human-powered captcha solving services but even those can often take a couple minutes so I'm stuck sitting around waiting for a result.
I really wish recaptcha would die. I understand that they're intended to stop scrapers and bots (or at least it's marketed as such). I'd gladly pay a few satoshis to websites to bypass these things.
