For which part?

Every time a new submission is created on HN, you have a curl script that posts a comment on it shilling your product. (According to the /newest tab there seems to be one submission every few minutes.)

What's harder for you to automate: the comment always posts successfully after 500ms, or you get a Cloudflare Turnstile captcha every time?



PoW is for a completely different threat model than CAPTCHA. If you're trying to decide which is better, you're doing it wrong.


The title of the submission, the project README, and the project homepage repeats:

> CAPTCHA alternative
