Deathbycaptcha sucks big time!

Yeh they total crap what waste of time and money but SEnukeX has only death by captcher and a few others.
 
I've been using DBC with Senukex....For me it works good! Anytime i get 95% Success rate!
 
DBC has been good for me so far but I am a lightweight only doing like 500-1k captchas a day so who knows lol--
but cmon cut them a little slack they are pretty cheap and when I first ordered I was good to go in 1 min so I like that

DBC is running fine right now.. it might be the hours you run it as well.

10 hours from now it will be overloaded
 
Decaptchers domain got hit by spamhaus, which is why they had to move domains. All captcha related services/software are being targeted by spamhaus. Also, they almost all pull from the same pool of indian/asain labor which sleeps and is awake at the same time, so most services will have a period of time every day which they are overloaded (when they are sleeping)
 
here's a log from a few mins ago

bunch of server is overloaded messages.. then when they finally get one through.. they decode it wrong.
 
our service is not in anyway related to humancoder.
we are operated only by imagetypers name

DBC = deathbycaptcha
decaptcher = decaptcher
antigate = antigate
humancoder=imagetypers

He probably ment DBC=decaptcher.


Internal issue or not, it's still pretty shitty how they handled things. There were NO announcements whatsoever, they did not write anything on twitter, they haven't even sent anyone a friggin email or posted on any of large forums such as BHW notifying their users.

If I didn't instinctively check for alt domains (.net went down a month before for few days) I would never have found out it's even up, just on another domain.

The way they handled (or rather failed to handle) this situation is an ENORMOUS MINUS for decaptcher from my end. It's been weeks since it happened and we still don't have any idea what is going on.

On the other hand, they must be bathing in cash if they have this give-a-fuck attitude.

When I had fallout of service occur to me in the past I did my best to notify my users and make the recovery as transparent as possible.
 
Decaptchers domain gets down many times.

probably we have to find another replacement for them, hope some company's will release a new one i wonder )
 
i absolutely hate the payment gateway of DBC (Avangate) they ALWAYS make problems.

but currently senuke doesnt work with decaptcha anymore :( or maybe if i edit the hosts file to the new domain? hmm should try that.

and i am not so sure these companies really use humans to type the captchas i am pretty much sure its software ;)
 
Yesterday I login to my DBC account on their website.
It show a notification that because they have so many new clients so they kinda have server issues.

Last time I was successfully using it (couple of weeks ago) it worked fine with around 1-2% failure
 
1/27/2012 9:44:20 AM -> Error: Can't login to decaptcher account! Error: -3

now i'm getting these errors, don't know if they changed something or not. Logged into their website from a browser fine.. but don't see any updates posted about using a new server or anything.

---------------

on another note, I tested out imagetyperz as he was so kind to credit an account for me with 1k captcha's for free.

and it went really smoothly.. sent out more messages in 2 hours then I had in 2 days from DBC.. going to be switching to them on thursday when I get my paycheck.
 
With DBC i have around 50% !!!!!!!!!!!! correctly solved captcha. theirs accuracy on theirs page is a big lie..

For 10k captcha i have to pay $16.54 (with taxes).. soo for correctly solved 1-captchas i have to pay $33.08// which is.. wiat for it....

$3.3 per 1k captcha..

DBC sux big time nowdays.. so guys.. what to choose.. except decaptcher of course.. antigate? or imagetyperz? in which one i really will have to pay only for correctly solved captcha?
 
I can confirm lately DBC charged me much more than captchas that solved.
Have contacted support but nothing happened.
Thinking to change service.

This is exactly what I've been saying. I get around $2.60-$2.80 per 1k. Sucks big time.
 
purchasing captchas in DBC confuses me everytime lol
 
I'm pretty sure that the issues the OP is reporting about must have something to do with the TIME WINDOW chosen: I'd try running DBC at different times (e.g. during the night, OP's time or at the early morning for that matter) for higher success rates.
 
Hi Guys,

ezkim0x
Error ? 3 is usually a credentials issue. You?ve got a new PM.

Our accuracy rates are based on our user?s reports.

Please PM me your DBC username so that I can make sure everything is settled up correctly in your account. I?ll give you some testing credits so that you can live verify for yourself the service performance as well (sometimes a failed result on your software doesn't necessarily means that the CAPTCHA wasn't correctly solved).

Today our accuracy rate is around 96.0 % and our solving times are rounding 12-13 seconds.

As for the VAT, you can contact Avangate?s support directly and they might help you out.

nickk
Please PM your username and I?ll look into it.

Best Regards,
 
like I said.. I logged into the site fine using the same username/pass in the api.

and if i was using wrong credentials then why does it work sometimes and not others? that would mean if I attempted enough times I could get into anyones account and use their credits.

anyways, I know having to do support sucks when you hear customers gripe.. but seriously.

a month to respond? ..and I did send an email in case that would be quicker.. which went unnoticed. someone responded to my email the first time but not before I received a PM on here from you. not sure if you're the whole support team or what, and not trying to tell you how to run your business. but should really try responding faster. I've already moved on to imagetyperz.. I still have some credits in my account so I will use them when testing something new to see if it works.. but not with my main flow.
