been having issue with it awhile

Its called proof of work. It is functioning as anticipated. This should be on /site/

>>2 See >>>/site/4555 >The site is equipped with a Proof of Work crypto engine as part of the captcha system that can be toggled on and off by the site admins. When activated, the system works as follows: >1: When getting a new Bypass Captcha, you enter the captcha like normal. >2: The site will then force your computer to calculate a difficult math problem and provide the correct answer before it grants you the bypass. This is a hash algorithm, but the one we use is open source and not related to any sort of coin miner. >3: The amount of time this will take is alluded to by the "Please wait for validation" message, and will usually be around 2-6 minutes depending on your computer's specs. Do not close the tab, refresh the page, or do anything else while it is validating. 4: The POW will usually cause your CPU usage to spike high. This is normal, but will not last any longer than it takes to grant the bypass. 5: When the correct answer is found, your post will be completed for you and you will gain the daily bypass and can then post normally. <Why? >Because it is impossible to effectively ban users who post from TOR or unlisted VPNs, this system was developed as a way to control spam coming from those sources. While the attacker can still switch IPs or TOR nodes at his will, he will be forced to go through the POW bypass every time he is banned. This dramatically slows a spammer's rate of posting, and makes spamming using a botnet more expensive. Meanwhile normal users will typically only have to endure the POW bypass once for all of their posting for the day. Users who habitually clear cookies and hop IP addresses will be affected more than normal users, so please bear that in mind. The admins have exclusive control over activation of the POW system and will use it as reasonably necessary to control spam. It cannot be enabled on a per-board or otherwise selective basis, and when activated it functions for all users sitewide.

>>5 oh thanks i thought the captcha going nuts

>>5 one question, do i have to do this everytime tor change the exit nodes or its a one-time thing?

>>8 Sometimes the captcha really goes nuts and always takes three tries before letting you post, but this PoW is a feature™. >>10 I don't think so, unless you request a new identity or circuit. Regardless, the PoW is never up for more than one day, and admins can be contacted at 8moeadmin@protonmail.com, #8chan on IRC, on >>>/site/ and on /v/'s meta thread.
