I get that it was a Cloudflare problem:[0] | In this case, Cloudflare is intercepting a BitPay invoice request | (what's happening when you go to pay with bitcoin at a BitPay | merchant) and is requiring a captcha to prove that the user is | a person and not a robot. | | Cloudflare tends to do this with requests made over Tor at a much | higher rate. The way this captcha is delivered by Cloudflare to | the Tor browser is taking users to an archived invoice page and | not allowing them to proceed with a payment. The captcha itself | may not be displayed depending on how risky/trustworthy Cloudflare | considers a particular IP address. Just think about that. Cloudflare is requiring a CAPTCHA, _but is not showing the CAPTCHA to the user_. That is fucking insane. But it's fixed now. Users now see a link to a BitPay no-script invoice, which works perfectly. 0) https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5zy2al/boycott_bitpay_bitpay_used_by_majority_of/?ref=share&ref_source=link -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
