Did anyone know that there is exactly a 1 in 56800235585 chance to get the same image verification code?
just thought id share that

How do you know that? How did you calculated that?

because there are 6 possible letters or numbers... 26 lower case letters, 26 uppercase letters, and 10 numbers.. thats 62 possibilities a space and there are 6 spaces... so 26 x 26 x 26 x 26 x 26 x 26 = 56800235584

Not really.
The image code doesn't call for the letters like z, x, and o. Some letters are not included.
Recalculate lol.

Did anyone know......
that the goldbot companies use an auto login tool that can send the image to a website and get it automatically verified!
so basically we're all entering it for nothing, lol.

that's totally wrong dude ...that's not the way it's calculated
It;s a mathematic formula for that

it is like this : C.nr of caracters and numbers.by6 ( we note number of characters and numbers whit A )
The formula is Ca6 = a! where a! = 1x2x..........xa.
IN this case there are 26 , 26 and 10 characters and numbers ! so or "a" becomes 26+26+10 =62
C62 by 6 = 1x2x.......x62 = A LOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT MORE.
it;s a alot more then 5xxxx that u wrote.
PLus keep in mind that there is a mathematic probability too ( in other words what are the chances that 5xxxxx are going to connect in the same time = NONE, zero absolut )
In oder words ...there is 0 chances that 2 people get the same veryfication code.
hope u understand this

No, its 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62
or since there are some letters missing :
its 60 x 60 x 60 x 60 x 60 x 60 x 60

I'm sorry to disapont u is not .
Look on internet to seek info on posibilities when calculating something like this.
I appreciate the info , it's nice ..i just said that there are more posibilities .All most 0 chances to happen.
my regards.

there is roughly 20 of the 26 letters used so its 20 upper case 20 lower case, 10 numbers= 50 so its 50 X 50 X 50 X 50 X 50 X 50 =15,625,000,000

I don't think they have random numbers and letters everytiem, i think they made a lot of different image verification codes and put that into their data folder or whereever it could be. Because i think i've seen some of them multiple times... but ofcourse, this is just a theory, and i'm not sure if i've seen some multiple times

Its the principle of statistics:
Lets say you have a die with 6 faces.
Whats are the odds that you roll two times in a row the number 3 ?
1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36
1/36 = one chance outta 36
(36 is the right awnser btw)
But, if i use ur method its:
(1x2x3x4x5x6)*(1x2x3x4x5x6) = 518400
1 chance outta 518400 to roll two 3s ???
You just saw that ur method makes no sense at all.
Another easy exemple just to make sure you understand.
Telephone numbers:
How many possibilities of telephone numbers is there for 7 digits telephone numbers (Numbers from 0 to 9 can be used and/or repeated)
10x10x10x10x10x10x10 = 10000000
Thats every single telephone number from 000-0000 to 999-9999

Gotta give him credit for at least thinking about it. But I am certain that not only certain letters are not used, but certain dictionary words are filtered (so you wouldn't have swear words used as code).

It's impossible to have a dice, dice is plural.
