I rather see something like anubis than some unsolveable captcha. I never understood the battery-argument, I recon my screen uses more energy during pow-solving than it takes my phone to solve these pows.

- hombre_fatal 1y agoFor which part? Every time a new submission is created on HN, you have a curl script that posts a comment on it shilling your product. (According to the /newest tab there seems to be one submission every few minutes.) What's harder for you to automate: the comment always posts successfully after 500ms, or you get a Cloudflare Turnstile captcha every time?
