> @cap.js/solver is a standalone library that can be used to solve Cap challenges from the server. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of Cap? Not really. Server-side solving is a core use case of proof-of-work CAPTCHAs like Cap or altcha. It's about proving effort, not necessarily involving a human.

I like this. Allows for reasonable bots like IA without the mindless wasteful AI scrappers.



Isn't IA's architecture pretty strained already without this?


for manual saves, it might be able to offload the challenge to the saver's computer (but that means adding explicit support for this particular library, which might or might not happen...)


Sorry what is IA?
