Interesting to note that a site like this could implement a rather dark and exploitive business model:
1. Service A lets a user pose a captcha to a target
2. Service B sells captcha solving service to bots, using service A as the solver backend
3. A service A user may become a victim of a bot that uses service B
An interesting feature is that it can sell a single captcha solution to multiple bots. Let's call that the captcha multiplier (CM).
Here the CM is 3, since the challenge is reused 3 times:
1. Bot X encounters challenge 1
2. Bot X poses challenge 1 to service B
3. Service A poses challenge 1 to bot Y
4. Bot Y poses challenge 1 to service B
5. Service A poses challenge 1 to person Z
6. Person Z solves challenge 1
7. Bots X, Y get solution 1, pay service B
Here is what CM=10 looks like:
1. 100 humans use service A
2. 90 bots use service B
3. Only 10 actual humans solve captchas
This woylr a captcha multiplier rate of 10.
