Kek!
For tickets they'd need to also bot valid phone #s and email addresses. And Parscale knows how to
analyze the data, so he should be able to catch the fakes.
One person wouldn't have the time. It takes too long per request to get the actual ticket (up to 4).
Run the #s for how many it would take - that's a high cost, and still a lot of time. 1,000,000 is a big #.
I am well aware of skills in this area. They're going to have to get around the captcha, too.
Captcha + phone verification. It's not that simple. And it's not difficult for Parscale's software to check for this.
Of course, for all we know, they did do something like this, with stolen sim card #s, and got tracked against a database of said #s.
Hard to say. Outside was a lot more than inside apparently ended up with, but it seems they stopped
letting people in (or slowed it to a crawl) because of protests. Inside was still in the 10k
range.
RSBN tried to say 75% but that was bullshit.
Begs the question of what would happen on Parscale's side of the equation. What ability does
he have to check the validity of a request? If they're using a stolen sim #, does he have a database
to check it against? Email is easy, but other things are not.
That's not an auto-solver. From the 2captcha site:
"All captchas are recognized by humans, our workers, that's why 2captcha.com can recognize all humanly readable types of captchas. Our service is fully automated so you configure your software once and then you can forget about captcha solving and return back only to top up your balance."
Average response time is 12 seconds. If you hit them with a million at once, it would take at
least a few days even with 1000 workers.
Uh, bad math, but you get the point… it's still going to be slow(ish).
I was going to post the image of all the wrapped phones! But yeah… which goes to my question
about what Parscale knows. Betcha we know what those #s are.
Has to be, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get on the network with them.
Anybody that requested a ticket would know that they aren't reservations, which is what this article
seems to be claiming. The discussion we've been having in here is whether anyone would do that
to over-inflate the numbers, which is plausible, but expensive, risky, and offers almost no gain.
Sure, there's some merit in that, but there were more than 14k attendees - many left due to the protests.
These guys aren't fooling Parscale. He knew how many would be there. The stadium would
have been filled had the protests not happened, I'll bet.
I'd imagine we'll find out more, too, but the way they're selling it in twitter is that they used those
tickets as reserved seats.
Agreed on all counts. Also, it's Tulsa. Literally in the middle of fucking nowhere.
Even 14k is insane given circumstances.
Not sure. There were people outside with tickets that couldn't get in because of protests. Some left
because they cancelled the outdoor pre-show and took down the stage. Given the media lies,
I don't think we'll know for sure for a while.
