It is. I just happened to be one of the earlies adopters, provided some feedback and received 5$ voucher... I know this task is much more sophisticated but just for I just post it to let is off my head, to resonate :)

In my todo list there is a line for building one of those for the guys I just started working for. It will sms the number to the phone of the developer requestiong it. I will probably be using an old netbook, though.
As secure as the current system, which involves someone reading the number out loud over the phone. As each code is only valid for a one minute window, and our profile is not that high, I'd say sms will do.

Huh, I'm more interested in the website itself (bountify). Posting little coding challenges for a payment is an awesome idea. My concern is that the payments offered on most of these projects is way too low. You could make more money serving fries for the same amount of time.
Also, it's about the challenge. Maybe specifying the problem a bit more: a reward value divided by the number of pixels required to identify each digit

Blanking it out is far superior to blurring. If you know the kernel, partial deconvolution isn't impossible.
