How To Make Your Own Free Xapo Bitcoin Faucet (http://makebucks.today/how-to-free-xapo-bitcoin-faucet/)

thanks for sharing it ...I just bookmarked it...btw is it your own block that you are sharing

My own blog you mean? Yes, it is. I hope that is ok!  :)

Very nice. I'll share the link if someone ever asks about setting this up. Thanks.

it think its awesome as well,
Nice share Op ima sure gona keep a bookmark as well.

thanks for sharing. this will help a lot of users planning to create a faucet site :)

Thank you very much for sharing the link and article. This very well explained and following it can be done well in no time. I keep it in case anyone ever wonders how ;).

I am looking to update my faucet big time, adding it to the list of xapo faucets might just boost it enough to make it a bit more interesting, right now  I am putting in more than I gain, but it is for the fun and sharing more than it is for an income. I do get enough revenue from my other services, mostly drawing I do for BTC  ;D

Thank you everyone for the great feedback! Has anyone tried it out and set up a new Xapo faucet?

I am thinking about writing tutorials for other faucets (FaucetBOX script, etc.). Would there be any interest in that?

Lately I see many people are talking about Xapo faucet. Can someone please tell me why ? What is the specialty of a Xapo faucet ?

That's really some nice step taken to help forum members as I saw many people posting about Xapo and other related services. We need members like you who are here to help others :)
So nice of you :)

its really cool tutorial i think its simple to make it i think im going to try it out in my free time

great tutorial, thanks

thank you for great tutorial :)
it's will helpful for us
easpecially who want make xapo faucet

Thanks for sharing. I've bookmarked the page.

Thankyou ive been wondering about this for sometime. i believe to start an xapo site you must keep the payouts bigger than the rest ,it just seems xpao faucets pay more right now and i would want to keep it that way

Xapo faucets hook straight up to your Xapo wallet, so there are fewer fees involved. This is one of the reasons many Xapo faucets pay more.

I won't think it is even worth it.because there are a lot of wattets in the market which are quits better than a xapo wallet so I won't think xapo faucets are also useless without wallets

    
thanks for the info and your really good tutorial. when I have a bit more free time this weekend, I will definitely try to implement it

Do please let us know how it goes for you!

I have made a faucet with your instructions but i think the script is bad   go here  dimensionalbtc.ddns.net (http://dimensionalbtc.ddns.net) and try and get a payment and look what happens. maybe you can help me and tell me what the problem is....

Hi!

I am sorry you are having trouble with this. I will do what I can to help, although I am not sure what could be causing this.

First, is your Xapo app "Redirect URI" set to your site's URL? It looks like it is, but I thought it might be worth double checking. And it might be worth checking to make sure none of your keys have any extra spaces or anything, although I doubt that is it, too.

Did you make any changes to any of the .php files?

I am trying to change my own script / app to see if I can duplicate the message your site gives. I hope that we can get this fixed for you!

No i did not make any changes and both URI and URL in the app is the same...keys are ok as well. i am getting these two errors in the admin page but the admin page still loads and saves my input

I am sorry, I am really having trouble figuring out what this could be. The admin error appears to have something to do with "admin_message_html", but I don't know what to do with that.

Did you try running it on Byethost, or a similar free host? I am not sure if using ddns could have an effect or not.

Sorry this is not more helpful...

i was thinking that too  do you have a link to a free host to just test out the problem?

  i am using wamp as the server and i was using paytoshi script and it worked fine. maybe because im using wamp the script doesn't recognize the path???  but i cant read what the error is saying can you?

Sorry, I do not understand the error. Here is a free host that I know works, though: https://byethost.com/ (https://byethost.com/)
That is where some of the screenshots in the guide are from.
You could also try http://www.000webhost.com/ (http://www.000webhost.com/), but my personal experience with them is that things did not quite ever work how I wanted them to.
Please let us know if you get different results with a free host!

its not the host its the coding and i dont know how to fix it ...what is your sites url?

  I have now contacted Xapo for support on this matter. i have tried to contact the maker of that script but i have gotten no response yet. I'll keep everyone posted as to what the problem was and how to fix if i get it fix at all......Xapo seems to have the best faucets so i am desperately trying to fix this.
I wonder if they will have another script or if they know what the problem is... ???

The script is being updated fairly regularly, so it is possible that it will be fixed. I think it has been updated once or twice already since I wrote that tutorial, so I do not know if that might be making a difference.

The site that I created to show it in action is here: http://makebucks.byethost12.com/ (http://makebucks.byethost12.com/)

Yea he updated 2 days before i downloaded it.  i wonder if he just created a bug. He was updating the keys making them less vulnerable because someone complained they got hacked so he fixed it supposedly but i bet he didnt fix it completely. i code so i know how that goes. the problem with me is i don't know how api's work nor how to code them or i would fix it myself

Good chance that this will once again be no help, but just in case -- you can download the version that I used if you go to https://github.com/chipshotDEV/Faucet-Builder/tree/a3b8f3efa477e0e590f45456392b841bfcc2a0f8 (https://github.com/chipshotDEV/Faucet-Builder/tree/a3b8f3efa477e0e590f45456392b841bfcc2a0f8), and "Download ZIP" from there.

  That is where i got it from.. i just messaged him in there in the issue,wrote that  error code. i've also emailed him about 4 days ago but no response its too bad i just can't use a faucetbox script and just change the keys and just take faucetbox name off the script which is really not that hard

sorry it says he updated 12 days ago  lets see if he responds

ok the programmers have been contacted and i am now waiting for a response. i have gotten 2 emails on the matter and i will keep this thread updated

I see the reasons as: (1) free, off-chain transactions from Xapo-to-Xapo and (2) Xapo's affiliate program. Two things I'm not necessarily in favor of but oh well.

How much money could you expect to make running a faucet? Let's assume you have decent traffic and adsense ads all over it? I used to run a blog about Law School (universities) and could make a few hundred a month ( .edu and legal are highest paying keywords) but I also had some more entertaining but keyword poor sites that earned next to nothing. When my law school blog started earning in the 3 digits adsense banned me.  :'(
Overall, the work I had to put in to get the traffic and original content made it pay like a minimum wage job.
So. My question... How much do you earn with your own faucet? Please include stats like amount of traffic, CTR etc.
Thanks

Hello I am the creator of FaucetBuilder and script. The email destbogan@gmail.com belongs to me.

Originally I built the script with a 1% fee to cover my time for building this. I published it and had a few friends testing it. This was before faucetbuilder.com existed and was live.

The main feedback from the guys testing it was that 1% flat-fee is not the right way since the APIs were not built by me (they are originally Xapo). So, I took the 1% fee out and launched faucetbuilder.com for free and took btc donations.

I want to clarify that yes my original plan was to charge a fee. But I removed this fee before my script and website (faucetbuilder.com) was officially launched. I am not sure how the script with 1% fee is being circulated since I dont promote on any of my links on bitcointalk or website.

!The script on faucetbuilder.com does not have a fee!


My wallet destbogan@gmail.com has 800 bits (~$0.18) and not much. If you are using the original script with the fee email me and I will return your funds. I am trying to do honest business.
