    Hi, I am looking to migrate away from Google reCaptcha for my WP sites and am trying out Altcha. It seems to function a bit differently and I am wondering how I know that it is actually working since it never seems to prompt me with pictures of fire hydrants and bicycles. Is Altcha an entirely different thing than reCaptcha? Just a bit confused. Google is migrating their reCaptcha users this summer to a new thing and I just don’t want to deal anymore. Checked out hCaptcha but kind of like Altcha a bit more.

    Hi, yes ALTCHA is an automatic, transparent protection against spam and abuse. Instead of puzzles, it uses automated verification (proof-of-work), which is just as effective against spam as old solutions. Other WP users report very good results – you simply won’t see any spam and you keep your website accessible to real people. More information here: https://altcha.org/docs/effectiveness/

    To protect agains human-generated spam, consider using the SpamFilter (https://altcha.org/anti-spam/).
