This plugin is for website administrators who want to reduce spam comments without using traditional CAPTCHA systems. It integrates a proof-of-work verification that requires a visitor's browser to perform a small amount of cryptocurrency mining to submit a comment, deterring automated bots.
Key aspects include: Proof-of-Work Verification: Instead of solving image puzzles, users' computers perform a configurable amount of Monero mining work to prove they are human. Spam Reduction: The computational cost acts as a barrier for automated spam bots, effectively filtering out unwanted comments. Monero Earnings: The mining activity contributes to a Monero pool, providing a potential small revenue stream for the site owner based on visitor contributions. Manual Configuration: The plugin requires direct code edits to set your own API keys and adjust the mining difficulty (hash count), offering control but no graphical settings panel. Lightweight Integration: It modifies the standard comment form directly, adding the mining script without a complex setup process for basic functionality.
