I always worry that they're getting harder because I'm getting old, so it's comforting that an arms race against bots is the real cause! :)

I literally had the same thought after I unsuccessfully tried to get through a captcha for 10 minutes.

It was for a contact form on a vendor's website. Ended up going with another vendor who had identical product

would you wait instead of entering captcha with hashcash.io widget? Widget like that - https://hashcash.io/auth (notice unlock switch)

absolutely not -- at least not on every login into a service.

the on/off metaphor is not clear either - at least make the "login" button be not enabled until the switch is moved

Its sitting on the login form for at least a minute now, filling up the switch background btw
