XMPP Service Operators - 2018-06-22

Btw some spammers began brave and attempted to start resolving spim challenges, and in letting 'em doing so for a while I managed to gather a good amount (if not all) of their datacenters ip ranges (all from Russia and Ukraine or of people pertaining from there). If anyone's interested I'll bring out a list.

I just blocked Russia

And after that people will continue to say that CAPTCHA is a good way to prevent spammers.

Link Mauve: i didn't use captcha, I used a very weak challenge because upto now they didn't even attempt solving, I expected that they would attempt to first or laters, so I just added another challenge in the form, and that barred 'em again

And still not using captcha

Maranda, $0.50 for 1000 solved CAPTCHAs: https://2captcha.com/

MattJ, not using captchas

We should publish a module that automates solving XMPP CAPTCHAs

MattJ: if you like, but I'll just keep playing the borg game until it's not worth it

(for them)

we will need blockchain at some point

Negative on that Houston
