> So for clarity, you do not have to verify your email address if you don't want to. If you are a new user, you can instead simply wait 15 minutes before posting. Lurk a thread, browse the site, or just come back later. After the wait, you can post threads and replies as normal. If you've been a user of 4chan for more than 15 minutes, the process should be seamless for you. If you are a new 4chan user, then verifying your email address bypasses the wait.

4chan has been a honeypot for a long time now. Anything that uses captcha verification is sending your info to a third party (probably feds) and even if you're using a proxy or whatever else, the captcha is still fingerprinting you with your browser specs, etc. I'm sure they have it set up to determine if you're right-handed or left-handed based on where you click on the captcha images or take your actual fingerprints from your in-screen fingerprint reader.
