+mCaptcha relies on a
+[proof-of-work(PoW)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work)
+mechanism to guard against bots. In order for this to be effective, the
+difficulty factor should be configured properly. If the difficulty
+factor is too high all the time, it will inconvenience the users and if
+it's too low during attack, the defence will be weak.
+
+So we are conducting a survey to gather performance benchmarks from
+various devices and browsers. The data collected from the survey will be made
+public, we believe it will guide sysadmins configure difficulty factor
+properly.
+
+If you are interested in the lucky draw, please save the `submission ID` and the `proof` will be presented
+to you at the end of the survey.
