Carefully commenting, can captcha cease?

...Eh...

... I've guessing not. But over the last several years, Google's captcha has become very difficult to deal with. The small images have no contrast, no detail, to me they are a muddy mess!

Central Verification

At one time, I was thinking "if there was only some way to permanently verify" though in thinking about this issue for a long time, that too is fraught with its own new problems, such as:

Semi-Anonymous Tracking

The closest thing that might be the start of an idea is an anonymized central database that uses public key and private two-factor authentication codes. It still does not satisfy all the concerns regarding privacy (what does in today's world) but such a system could add-on to Google's current captcha system to improve the user experience by limiting captcha interactions replacing them with automated rolling authentication tied to a user's devices.

An example is how Apple keeps devices secure and in sync with each other, and has a channel for two factor identification that does not use SMS, it's part of the system services.

Some Restrictive Opt-In Standard

At the very least, there needs to be some form of opt-in to register some how to stop these things. Captcha can make the internet unusable....

The recent proposal by Cloudflare may address this issue more effectively than other options documented in the current version of the Note.

The Research Questions Task Force plans to discuss this question at an upcoming meeting. Meanwhile, pull request #2 includes a description of and references to the proposal.

Hi Jason @jasonjgw thank you, that does look promising.
