JEV captcha arbitrage sounds insane...

Calculated a captcha-solving margin by comparing marketplace payout per CAPTCHA against Jev's cost per hundred calls.
The original post
JEV captcha arbitrage sounds insane... - Marketplace payout: $0.01 per CAPTCHA - JEV cost: $0.0068 per 100 CAPTCHAs - Potential gross margin: 99.32% Even after platform fees and other costs, the numbers are hard to ignore. If this loophole stays open, someone will exploit it

Where this case fits
Filed under finance & trading. In the pattern Jev is built for, the model answers a bounded question per step — and ordinary code acts on the answer, because the answer is already a value rather than a paragraph. Other posts in the same family are on the finance & trading page.
