RE: Bots and Manual Curation idea
This is something that's been suggested many times before. Unfortunately the way captchas work is you have a question and an answer. The answer has to be held by a central authority in order for the bot to not know it. And this is decentralised and a transparent blockchain.
I did play around with the idea of a decentralised captcha system with these posts.
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
It seems the only way to beat bots is to make them less profitable than manual curation. The last hard-fork had 2 changes, one which empowered manual curators (lowering the vote limit from 40 to 10) and one which empowered the bots (the linear reward curve)
Truth (as far as we know), this is the most practical option.
Then is it possible to just reduce the CR of direct interactions with the chain and increase the ones that go through the UI? I am not a blockchain person but it seems relatively retarded if there is no way to be able to create a distinction between a bot and a human.
The problem is there's no way for the blockchain to recognise there was a captcha answered correctly on the user interface because it comes from a central authority that has to hide the answers to the captcha
what about a slider?
