With all due respect, I said ‘at this point in time’ & also acknowledged that the mention of any IP tracking received negative feedback, so I will avoid all IP and br transparent about that… With node express apps, the IP is inherintly included in any request made to the API server, however can be masked via VPN. The only reason I was considering it was to stop bots in the case that I gave back to the community. But In the case where no IP tracking is preferred I need alternatives to stop bots & cheaters (especially if I’m giving away cash back to the active users)
