Interesting, but I don’t understand how it is better than regular captchas for this task Maybe captcha serving itself can be DDoSed, because of the image size?

- rlpb 3y agoCaptchas require human intervention. This method is transparent for the legitimate user.
- popol12 3y agoSure, but it seems easier to defeat than captchas, especially for a big opponent like a state, which can possibly allocate enough computing power to make the difficulty target too high for regular users Whereas with captchas, the government need to pay real people to fill them, which doesn’t scale Edit: I read the paper (https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/-/blob/main/proposals/327-pow-over-intro.txt https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/-/blob/main/p...) and I understand what you meant. This is not meant to replace captchas but to automatically discard low profile attacks. Nice.
