instead of making the bots solve captchas, that is an infinite mouse-cat game, couldnt we accept bitcoin payments from the crawlers? it would be programmable, always cryptographically verifiable access for a single crawler. i read from moltbook some of these agents already have a wallet attached to them, so in my opinion it would sound more sensible to make them pay instead of slowing them down.
also some commenters suggested to make the agents mine the coins but with my limited bitcoin knowledge that would take more time that would be suitable for the crawlers to access the commits.
