1.4 is the current stable release, 1.5b is the latest version release but still has it's bugs as it's a beta version.

yeah it has bugs but i prefer it to 1.4 as its multi threaded for a start!

 

[justAIMe]

So when can we expect 1.5b to be out of beta?

Andreyg13,

After reading your post you asked for customers you've helped to make a statement more or less about how they feel about CS, I'm quoting an earlier post that I made as I feel it's fitting for my current stance on the situation.



For me your support has been great, it's just the product has a few flaws.

And yes, we asked for multi-threading and Mikey released 1.5b but it's still beta, it crashes when I use it and the only thing I've found to keep it stable is to open up my task manager, select show processes from all users and then right click on captchsniper.exe and change it's priority to real time and then do the same thing to csse.exe. This is not a fix though as I still get crashes if I go above 30 simulations it seems.

Here's the thing, captcha sniper is good at solving the captcha's it has in it, and this should be expected, the problem is I can't really work to scale because it can't handle a large load for very long i.e working at 100+ threads in csse mode as it crashes and or simply stops receiving captchas. There have been nights where I set everything up, take a mental note of the last captcha solved and when I wake up in the morning the same captcha is on the screen, I run GSA search engine ranker and it tells me when a captcha wasn't solved, I open up the last couple captcha's it reported as incorrect and it's ones that CS is able to solve, should be solving. But I think that CS is failing to get them from GSA. I have GSA setup to retry CS 8 times before moving on so I'm know that it's not a matter of not hammering it hard enough. And please don't say it's GSA, I'm just using them as an example since they are the only tool I own that let's me see the url of where the failed captchas are located. I can tell when I run an SEnuke forum campaign when CS stopped working because, as you know senuke uses the same sites when you run a campaign and for some accounts I will have say, 300 profiles created and one account will only have a little over 100. 2 out of 3 accounts getting to the 300 range but 1 does not, it's easy to spot then when CS quite working.

That lack of consistently is what's killing me, to work on the scale I need CS to be working without me babysitting it. CS is decent if you don't use more then say 1-2 tools at a time and don't need it operating at more than 10 threads and don't need to be hammering it 24/7.

I by no means have a weak computer or a slow internet connection. I use SEnukeX, GSA, BMD and SB. My os is windows 7 ultimate so it's not like I'm overloading and not giving enough resources out to each program.

Again, I'm not bashing your customer support or CS as a whole, I'm just pointing out how I feel about some aspects of CS after using it for nearly 3-4 months now.

Thanks.

I think you've hit it exactly.

If I use CS to be my captcha solver I'm very very limited on what I can do as CS can only handle so many threads at a time. I run into this issue ALL the time. Where i'll run GSA at 100 threads sometimes a lot less and I'll set it up at night before bed wake up and it's stuck on a captcha have to go to task manager end CSSE restart etc. etc. I prolly do this around 6 or 7 times a day. Which means me babysitting the program which is money lost right there.

However, CS does save me money somewhat. But it all comes down to time. Do I spent my time babysitting the program or would I rather have it be 100% automated with no babysitting. At the point i'm at I'm almost going for paying for it to be 100% automated as I know i'll get a lot more solved with no babysitting. I've asked Support before about these issues multiple times Same response Turn down the threads well I can't really do that as that takes more time to do tasks.

I look forward to these updates. Whenever they may come out.

Well, finally. This is exactly what I am talking about. Something honest with exact numbers

First let me focus on the first issue you presented. For GSA the issue described is the same that we had with NHSEO. It stopeed working at some point and this issue was fixed by Mike and we have sent out the fixed .exe to every customer who complained about it.

What happened with NHSEO was that at some point it stopped working and as you say you had to babysit it. I am not sure if you received the fixed exe but in case you haven't please let me know and send me a PM with an email dadress where i should send the exe.

We know that CS has flaws and just because we know what people expect from CS, the features that everyone is waiting for are beeing developed as a priority. CSSE made is multithreaded but just because we know it is still buggy it is in beta even at this point.

We are aware of the bug where you have to restart CSSE because it doesn't exit properly and a few other ones which are beeing fixed as we speak.

And yes, this is a problem on CS end and not with your computer beeing slow or anything like that.

We are aware of all the issues, but as i said, we do need our customers to present us exactly with how it is preforming and what is missing in a detailed manner.

At some point we said that we will have our forum ready which wil be dedicated to CS entirely and there we will have everything needed for a good communication with our customers. I will personally load it up with videos on how to set it up and various tutorials for different scenarios.

In my opinion a good dev-customer relationship comes when our customers come back with real numbers and give us an exact insight of the issue and not only "CS doesn't work" and i guess we can all agree on this part.

In order to have this relationship we would also need to have a good newsletter which at this point it is lacking and badly needed. This way, everyone could get informed and have access to the the latest bug fixes.

So you see Mark, what you just said confirms exactly that we know and we are working on the exact features that you guys expect from us

So in short this is what we aim for and let me know if you would like to add something to it:

1. A better communication with our customers by setting up the CS forum and a decent newsletter where everyone will be informed about all updates and fixes
2. All CSSE bugs fixed so it can be used properly
3. The learning mode module where you will be able to teach it how to solve your own simple captcha types without having to wait for us to have it implemented in CS
4. The fail over service, where the unknonwn and failed captchas will be sent back to us automatically and there for we will have a knowledgebase of what captcha types are most used and not supported, or which captcha type doesn't preform well so that we can implement it as fast as possible with the next upate.

Just to explain a bit the why we believe that first, the features above are crucial before adding anything else. Each and every customer of ours is using CS for different platforms or tools. Now at some point they are all the same but not quite. So if we can provide the features above, not only that we will become more efficient by knowing what exactly is mostly used but we will also give our customers the ability to ad to CS the needed captcha types because after all you said it.....Captcha Sniper is good at solving the captchas it has in it.

This will save time and money

And again guys, I guess we can all agree on this one, with negativity nothing good arises but if we cooperate and post some good descriptions and numbers on what is and what isn't working, especially for beta versions, we can make this tool exactly what you expect it to be.

 

[royalmice]

I am not going to get dragged into a back and forth with this.
You know how i feel and you know what it is i want, namely more frequent updates.

I will again contribute to this thread when i have seen a update... in the meantime i will just have to keep buying decapcha credits.

I will also add to the list above

5. More frequent updates

We know tha these updates are badly needed and as said, they are work in progress. We welcome every opinion and the point wasn't to drag anyone back and forth so please don't get me wrong.

We hope to release the next one asap, hopefully much less than 2 weeks.

 

[Markthedude]

Andreyg13,

I think you fully understand what the people are asking for, I know that you are not the coder behind CS and so I do have to commend you for your customer service skills, you obviously have expressed your understanding of our frustrations with my main issue, update releases, and so now that I have said my peace I will jot down issues and exact numbers for error reporting for mikey to help with CS development. You already know from my previous post what I'm facing but if I notice anything else I'll be making a note of it.

P.s I know that you mentioned it awhile back but once you get your own support forum up and running then it won't be just you guys solving all the common errors and issues, you will be helped by the masses.

Thanks.

 

[RevForce]

cant wait to see recap, keep up the good work.

Exactly Mark, Having a Forum is crucial, just because on the CS thread we are discussing the issues but nobody will browse through 36 pages looking for the answer. With our own forum we are able to set up threads for each and every common known inquiry or issue, and this way they can be discussed and solved right away. Plus setting up videos which show how to be set up with the most common tools or how to fix the issues would have a huge impact in my opinion.

But as said, the mentioned features are work ion progress and will be added soon, and If you guys come back and show us real numbers, and share your experience with CS, not only that you will help us but you wiall also help yourselves with it

cant wait to see recap, keep up the good work.

thank you

Less than 2 weeks it is. I will again patiently wait for your pronouncement.

I will also add to the list above

[hunar]

Do you guys need help setting up a forum or something?


If so I can easily do it in a hour or so time and would gladly hand it over to you guys once it's all setup

Thanks so much for the give of hope to us andreyg. Ok guys, how about giving some motivation to the best coder of this year. MR Mike. Lets start some counting. Its much less than 2 weeks for the new update. Let give Mike 2 full weeks.

So the update will be release on 4 Jun. Will be 11 days to the new release.

11 Days More!

I ll not be online for a few days and really hope all my friends here to keep on the motivative counting

 

[hunar]

Sadly he had said "Hopefully" So it is something that is not yet set in stone.

 

[tutughosh]

I am having an Issue with the Tool.. When ever I am running the Tool I am getting an Error... "Path not Found- 76".. I am trying to kill the Process which is using Port 80.. But that was my main Sytem... Sytem is using the Port 80.. What should I do..??? Help me out please...

Thx bro but we can manage that ourselves, it isn't that we can not set it up, but we need to populate it with tutorial videos and troubleshooting guides and that is also beeing worked on right now so we can have everything ready

Just wait it up and see

I am having an Issue with the Tool.. When ever I am running the Tool I am getting an Error... "Path not Found- 76".. I am trying to kill the Process which is using Port 80.. But that was my main Sytem... Sytem is using the Port 80.. What should I do..??? Help me out please...

Ok first:

Run-time error '76' ? Path not found

In this case captcha sniper is trying to access the host file in a different location other than Windows/system32/drivers/etc.
This would happen mostly on Windos Server 2008 and the location it would normally try to access and it genereates this error would normally be :

\Users\Administrator\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

To find out the exact location it is trying to access, please download the following tool and have it running before you start Captcha Sniper.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645

At first you should see a bunch of proccesses so in order to find out quickly and not having to scroll down a lot, hit ctrl+f and enter etc\host. Tis should give the exact location. Note down the exact path it is trying to access, and create it and copy the contents of Windows/system32/drivers/etc in there.

Don?t move it, just copy it. Double check to see the host file isn?t read only and run Captcha Sniper. The error should be fixed

Port 80 issues:

This could be anything such as an web server, skype, teamviewer, apache, IIS or something else.

You can still run Skype or Teamviewer with Captcha Sniper, but you must completely quit Skype and launch Captcha Sniper first, before you restart Skype.

In order to rule out skype and teamviewer and to have them running smoothly not having to close and restart them each time you wish to use Captcha Sniper please do the following:

For Skype:
Go to Tools => connection optins => Uncheck the use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections box and save it

For Teamviewer:
Go to Extras => Options => Advanced => Uncheck Don?t use incoming ports 80 and 443 and hit Ok

To check to see if Apache or another web server is using port 80, you can simply open your web browser and go to http://127.0.0.1/.

A simple way to check what proccess is using up port 80, download the following tool and run it:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html

On windows 7 (not sure about the others), to find out what?s using port 80, you can start command prompt and run :

netstat -o -n -a | findstr 0.0:80

IIS is another program using port 80.If you dont use IIS then you can stop it.

To stop IIS go to start menu => control panel => system and security => Administrative tools => open Internet Information services => select websites => Default website => click the stop button on the tool bar.

One more common reason to make port 80 not available is your system uses port 80.

Goto run => type services.msc .

In services look for world wide web publishing service or web deployment agent services.

Double click it and make start type as Manual and below that stop the service and apply changes and restart. Now your port 80 will be free.


CSSE ? Port 80 is not available for CSSE

You need to install .netframework 3.5 even if you have higher version. If your OS is windows 7 then you can not install .net framework.WIndows 7 got built in .net framework 3.5 but partly enabled.

To make it available fully please do the following steps:

Go to control panel => Programs and features => find Turn windows features on or off to your left side.

You can find microsoft .net framework 3.5 partly activated there. Click Microsoft .net framework 3.5.1 and Enable both windows communication foundation HTTP activation and windows communication foundation non HTTP activation. Apply the changes and save it.

hope it helps

i click in captcha sniper .exe and doesnt work.

I have this error Error - Component 'mswinsck.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid - 339


Do you know how to solve it?

Do you know how to solve it?

Captcha Sniper is asking if you wish to replace this file during install. You probably got the message that the one you have is newer than the one provided with Captcha Sniper and you replaced it and it isn't correctly registred:

Please download it from the link below and copy it into the system32 folder in windows.

http://www.ocxdump.com/download-ocx-files_new.php/ocxfiles/M/MSWINSCK.OCX/6.00.81694/download.html

then open up command prompt and navigate to c:\windows\system32 and type the following command: regsvr32 mswinsck.ocx

everything should work fine after this

 

[ronaldinho19]

I did this and continue the same error I have windows 7 64 bits.

 

[andreyg13]

I did this and continue the same error I have windows 7 64 bits.

ok, in this case please uninstall Captcha Sniper and leave nothing but the .lic file in the Captcha Sniper folder. Make sure you delete every file in that folder and leave nothing but the .lic file. The .lic file must remain there otherwise you might have to go through the reg process one more time.

Then reinstall Captcha Sniper and everything should be fixed
