This could be done by adding a simple text validation, similar to the Add URL method at AltaVista. This method easily blocks robots as they cannot validate the millions of variations... not to mention the fact that the validation is done by .gif... cost effective, time effective, and simple. > That would give e-gold a huge advantage over digigold (and even > 1mdcgrams) at a stroke. Correct me if I am wrong here, but isn't DigiGold owned by G&SR? > e-gold needs to absolutely immediately: > > block the IP the attacks are coming from. this is 10 seconds work. This could create serious problems as blocking an IP can inadvertantly block access from someone using the same IP... such as Earthlink members and AOL members... the 2 largest providers of Internet access. Hackers and WaReZ KiDDieZ crack me up. What a serious waste of talent and skill. Looking forward to e-gold shutting them down.
