I am sick and tired of faucet owners cheating users out of satoshis by hiding the claims. They either have no claim buttons, or they demand you jump through hoops to click tiny dots they make the same colour as the background. List the ones you find here, and we'll refuse to use them until they clean up their act! (No ref links allowed)  I'll add new ones as people list them.

http://www.faucetgoldtime.com - the site says "To control Bots please click 6 different simbols and 2 secrets words on the web to Claim" The tiny dots were bad enough, but what do they mean "2 secret words"? Any 2 words on the whole page? How would I know what they are?

http://faucetsilverworld.com - as owner as above. Has 8 tiny little " marks in orange on an orange background. Can be worked around by highlighting the page, but why should we have to?

Or they say "captcha is incorrect" and they made us click several time`s one faucet!

As regards Faucet Gold Time, to me only asked to click on those 8 dots, which are very small, but can be found.
It seems that way of claim depend from country to country,like reward is not same to all.
Faucet owners are trying to protect themselves against bots, though it sometimes makes their faucet real mystery to solve.

I understand trying to protect themselves from bots, but orange dots on an orange background?? Do bots care about the colour of the dots?

Certainly they should not go to such extremes,users will give up if not find way to claim in 10-15 second,more or less.

Disregard them and remove it in your faucet list. It will not worth your faucet time as a claimer. There are lots of faucets out there that only consuming seconds to claim and much better than those two.

I don't like those that make you solve the captcha etc and when you try to claim "captcha is incorrect" pop ups etc but i don't have anything against silverworld or goldtime.

And i consider them also a little less boring since you have sometimes to search for those dots(usually they are always in the same position so no need to rage).

Also you can claim only once or twice a day from them...it's not like you have to search for those dots every 10 minutes xD

Anyway it's just my personal opinion xD

yeah its a cheap way to make users click on ads. But if they get many accidental clicks, their adsesnse account will probably get  banned.

I will list such faucets too complicate to solve and avoid them.
List owner will not earn then...but perhaps the list owner are as well the faucets owners...
Who knows?

Yea me too ! i have made a list of all the best faucets with high payouts without all the scams and antibot click bullshit and it is bullshit or it wouldn't be so close to the adds that's  almost underneath them so 2 out of 5 end up clicking add.....  I have to prune my faucet  tree list to make sure they didn't go to the darks side over at  http://bitcoinfaucetrelay.com (http://bitcoinfaucetrelay.com)

Thanks for keeping up with your list, I know it's a lot work to go through each one. For example I didn't know bitcoinicker stopped paying, good to know!

A point has been reached were faucet owners are using this as an excuse for such actions.

Posts in the faucetbox thread have shown that using other Captchas such as FunCaptcha has helped reduce bot abuse substantially.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1094930.msg12376133#msg12376133

That was an eye opener, thanks! I just switched my sites over to funcaptcha after seeing that thread. It's only been switched over for a half hour and my dashboard reports over 30 bots have been blocked!

i just had to shut my xapo faucet down due to bots...I can tell because there is no ref number behind 20 claims in a row...my faucet script was made for solvemedia and im not sure how to change code for funcaptcha.i tried just adding the keys but didn't work in the dash board...i will try tomorrow to figure this out.If yu go to thebotnet.com they had the bots listed in there and they are using my list to add to there bots as you can see here .  http://thebot.net/threads/coincollector-v2-multi-faucet-bot.316973/page-37#post-3491172 (http://thebot.net/threads/coincollector-v2-multi-faucet-bot.316973/page-37#post-3491172)

The transition from solvemedia over to funcaptcha was really smooth for me. Let me know if you need any help with it. Already up to 155 bots blocked since the switch.

My faucet is using FunCaptcha. Please, If anyone would have a problem with that write to me PM or directly in official thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1177724.msg12396889#msg12396889

Thanks i might just hit you up tomorrow, i have a funeral to go to and dinner so it might be around this time or earlier

how can you tell how many bots are blocked ? does funcaptha tell yo?

Yea it has a dashboard and tells you how many puzzles have been started, how many completed successfully and how many bots it has blocked.

Yes, they show stats about blocked bots but im not sure if we can believe in this stats..  ::) I take them only as some additional information.

i have noticed that with all the more difficulties to claim faucets my two faucets have more users.
people prefer claim by faucets for less but in a easy way.
if you look the spent time often for less per claim you have more end of day.

List owners will see that they only promote faucets but do earn nothing because if the claimer is not paid the referrrer is not paid too...

You will see many faucets disappear from lists because the list owner not only earns nothing but at the end it lose because since the claimer lose time he does not claim on other paying faucets.

I removed both Faucetgoldtime and Faucetsilverworld from my rotator. At first they only used click six links with white background. Now click six green dots with green background. Even a person without color blindness cannot spot these dots. Obviously this is do more with not paying users than blocking bots

+1
but like with no doubt scams this kind of faucets will keep up making much earning without paying or only few times.

I can't find a way to claim from here either:  seebtc.info/?r=1DTPwP7ZRSfMfCUoEtGh4gEC58uucsffRk

No problems there. There are just some popups that appear when you click on "get reward" or the captcha.

Also ref links are not allowed.

My anti-virus blocks this site...so I can even not see the faucet's page.

I do not see any problem with that faucet,very easy to solve in three steps,BTC address--Captcha--Get reward.

I do not say the contrary,but my anti-virus do not allow me to see this faucet because he see something malicious.
i meet daily "not allowed" faucet because viruses.

Hm, my Norton and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium do not show me anything.
Often I get a message from my antivirus: Web Attack : Malvertisement Website Redirect 9 or Java Script Redirect so it is wise to have a good protection.

I have such kind og thing from norton too
web attack malicious redirect2 (or so something)
and norton blocks..;I want not deblock for a faucet.

simple way to solve your problem see on
http://dasdoclicx.weebly.com/faucetbox.html (http://dasdoclicx.weebly.com/faucetbox.html)

the anti bot clicks are a scam to get people to click ads on accident

you are 200% right.
And not only...it's also a way to discourage the claimer and i believe like me...the claime give ut and he is not paid but the faucet ownet has taken profit from ihis visit.

They certainly started that way, but I get the impression a lot of people have seen them and incorporated them into their own faucets under the misguided impression they actually work.

Wasting people's time in the hope they'll accidentally click an ad is a horrible idea.

It's probably because the popups on the faucet are malicious; the faucet itself probably isn't malicious. I wouldn't recommend visiting these faucets though, there are many other faucets that do not have popup ads and will give you an overall better experience.

Sorry if im out of topic, i want to ask
if im create new faucet rotator (with my own reff link) then i collect satosi with use my faucet rotator (with my own bitcoin address) are this cheating at faucet ?

That's not cheating. Many people create rotators with their referral links and earn bit coins this way. The hard part is getting people to use your rotator.

no cheating if you not using bot for claim faucet,the problem with faucet site now is many bot claim and the owner of faucet not get profit from they site

Thats how people profit using a rotator . by using their ref number on every faucet it goes to

This is called only cheating. Bots can not solve captchas like fun captcha, huan verification or google captcha. Furthermore you have to click that antibot thinks and it is only small dots. Okay then but same background colours are only called cheating.

no cheating if you not using bot for claim faucet,the problem with faucet site now is many bot claim and the owner of faucet not get profit from they site
???
what is bot claim?

Why put small dots?
do you think a bot cannot see small dots?
it can see small dots and big dots exactly of the same way.

Bots don't need to see them at all, all a bot needs to do is submit the form.

I've written a browser extension which lets you skip the "anti-bot link" nonsense entirely. I'm on my phone just now but can post it later today (Firefox only just now - I'm working on a chrome port)

People are using bots (computer programs) to visit the faucets, solve the captchas and collect the coins for them. These people are cheating the system. It causes some faucets to lower their rewards and others shut down completely.

I'm a human and I can not see that dots. Same colour with same background. Okay you do not want bots and you say bots can see that dots too. Do not cheat for human, because I am a human and can not use that kind of faucets. Just find another way for bots. This way works for only human.

it is  simply. don't visit that faucet.
when they reduce the number of visitors, maybe change the politics

This is it.


And Ill be watching for LosingAlpha's FF extension

Still only available on Firefox (not enough hours in the day) but here you go:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZbWCEbd2m0

Instructions are in the description. It really couldn't be more straightforward - all it does is add a context menu item that allows you submit a form by right clicking on an input field and selecting "Submit Form", so it works on any faucet where you've entered your address and completed the captcha.

Usually on use faucet which pays directly to a faucet collector like faucetbox or coinbase. So, you can minimize the risk to get into a scam site.

to much job for couple satoshi

Exactly, I can't understand that addons. What is it doing? I watched the video but I can not understand. Can you explain in here or can you sen me a pm about it?

I strongly disagree. It takes maybe 60 seconds to get up and running, it saves you more time than that in just a handful of faucet visits.

It lets you click the right mouse button on an input field and submit a form from the right-click menu. In the case of faucets, this means you can claim your reward from the menu rather than hunting for hidden links, clicking anti-bot links, or waiting for timers to run down (as long as you've entered your wallet address and completed the captcha)

Can I use this faucet only with firefox or some browser which can allow to use firefox addons? Can this addons be usefull for every faucet? There can be sometimes timer or 2-3 claim buttons

It definitely won't work on all faucets, but it should work on any where you have completed the address field and captcha (which includes the vast majority of those with 'anti-bot' links)

It's firefox only just now, but I aim to make versions for other browsers. What browser do you use?

The addon works great,is nothing complicated if you follow instructions and all is ready to work in a minute.
I put ss with evidence how efficient an addon is in  Let's Get Crypto topic:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1118998.80

I'm using comodo ice dragon. Actually it is based on firefox. I will try your addons by the way. Maybe it works in my browser or maybe I can install firefox too.

I actually tried the addon for firefox, and it worked on both sites.
Cheers.

works like a charm. thanks

This just goes to show you that the antibot bullshit does not work because you can do it manually why couldn't a bot skip looking too.

If you are doing this manually it is not bot.. So how antibot can fight with it? Or i don't understand something?

I can not do it manually. Because faucet has got small dots with same back ground and also I can not see that dots. And furthermore, sometimes, the claim button is hidden somewhere for not find to claim.
We have use for that cheaters.
