      I tried, and not really.

      I had to scrape a site that have some captcha and no AI was able to consistently solve it.

      In order to be able to “crack it” I had to replicate the captcha generation algorithm best I could and train a custom model to solve it. Only then I could crack it open. And I was lucky the captcha generation algorithm wasn’t to complex and it was easy to replicate.

      This amount of work is a far greater load than Anubis crypto challenges.

      Take into account that AI drive ocr drinks from existing examples, if your captcha is novel enough they are going to have a hard time solving it.

      It also would drain power, which is the only point of anubis.

        There is a difference between you (or me) sitting at home working on this and a team of highly motivated people with unlimited money.

          The thing is not that it cannot be done, the thing is that the cost is most likely higher than Anubis.
