Thanks for building this. We need more stuff like this. Out of curiousity, how do you prevent the case of some random malicious user impersonating your chrome extension and just issueing a bunch of "dwells" to your server. I.e. can I just curl what this javascript file (https://github.com/blippex/blippex_plugin_chrome/blob/master/plugin/common/js/api/upload.js https://github.com/blippex/blippex_plugin_chrome/blob/master...) is requesting to boost my own pages ranking?

We have some rate limits at our API in place, but of course it not that difficult to change an IP-address. But most important we wrote some algorithms which checks submitted URLs and domains for suspicious or accelerating behaviour. If that happens we simply suspend that domain for some time. We are also planning to publish those suspensions. -Gerald, CTO archify/Blippex
