Table of Contents:
Domains and Hosting | Creating your Faucet | Advertising | Traffic | Other Methods of Monetizing | Things to Consider

In order to try and answer a few people's questions, I decided to make this guide about making and running a faucet. This is mainly based on my own experience, so it may differ from person to person.
Most faucets measure payments in Satoshi or Bits. 1 Satoshi = 0.00000001BTC. 1 Bit = 100 Satoshi/0.000001BTC.




Part 1 - Getting hosting and a domain:
Contents - Hosting | Domains

To begin, you will need somewhere to host your faucet and a way for people to access it. This part will help with that.
I will  be listing services that take Bitcoin as a payment option but Doteasy.com (http://Doteasy.com) is the best in my opinion and does not take Bitcoin.

TIP - As enticing as it may sound, try not to use anything free (Free hosting/free domain). Free hosting can stop working if you get a large amount of traffic, and a free domain can make you look unprofessional. In case this does interest you I will link places you can get these things, but I wouldn't recommend them.

Hosting:
There are several places you can get hosting for your faucet which you can pay for through several means. I will be listing services that I have tried and that I've seen recommended by other users. If you don't want to use any of these services then search around or look in the Service Announcements section for others.

DotEasy - http://www.doteasy.com
This is what i use because it's the best ... check it out  http://www.doteasy.com/web-hosting (http://www.doteasy.com/web-hosting)

NameCheap* - http://www.namecheap.com
I have never used this provider for hosting, however it is one of the most trusted in the business. It has affordable prices, and top notch support staff. If you don't mind paying slightly more for hosting, I would recommend this.
Payment processors accepted - Bitcoin, Paypal and others.

Hostinger - http://www.hostinger.com
I have used Hostinger's services before with few problems. Hostinger provides free hosting or affordable unlimited hosting. I wouldn't recommend this hosting if you intend to use blockchain.info's API. This is because, on the free servers at least, I've found that the API is blocked from use. If you want to use this hosting with blockchain.info, contact blockchains support staff and I'm sure they can help you.
Payment processors accepted - Bitcoin, Paypal and others.

Bitronic Tech - http://www.bitronictech.net
I have never used this provider, though have seen it recommended by users on BitcoinTalk. It has been around for a while, and has somewhat affordable prices for it's hosting.
Payment processors accepted - Bitcoin.

Visfirm - https://visfirm.com/hosting
This host was suggested by a user on the forum and offers SSD hosting for an affordable monthly price. I have never used it, though it is run by a trustable member of the community. Use coupon code BITCOINTALK for a free months hosting.
BitcoinTalk topic - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1022773
Payment processors accepted - Bitcoin, Paypal.

SteadyTurtle - http://steadyturtle.com
This host provides SSD shared hosting at affordable prices. In addition to this, they have a large amount of promotion codes at their BitcoinTalk thread.
BitcoinTalk topic - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=972575.0
Payment processors accepted - PayPal, Bitcoin, Payza (Alertpay), 2checkout.

000Webhost* - http://www.000webhost.com
I have used this hosting for few of my projects, however it suffers the same thing as almost all free hosting in that the specs of the hosting are lack luster. With a large amount of traffic accessing the site within a day, it will almost certainly go down.
Payment processors accepted - N/A

3Owl* - http://www.3owl.com
I have also used this service's free hosting for a few of my projects, however it suffers the same problems as above, in that you cannot have a large amount of traffic accessing your site without it crashing.
Payment processors accepted - N/A

Domains:
There are a few trusted places that you can get TLDs (Top Level Domains) for your project, however not as many as hosting. When purchasing a domain, please use your head. If you see a site with no interactivity or using a free domain and trying to sell you a domain, don't do it.
This list does not include sub-domains.

NameCheap* - http://www.namecheap.com
The only place I would go for buying a standalone domain. With better prices than a large amount of the market, and a nice selection of TLDs it is arguably the best place to go.
Payment processors accepted - Bitcoin, Paypal and others.

Hostinger - http://www.hostinger.com
If you buy any kind of hosting package with Hostinger, you get a domain free with your purchase with a number of TLDs. In addition, you can buy a domain separately.
Payment processors accepted - Bitcoin, Paypal and others.

Bitronic Tech - http://www.bitronictech.net
Same as Hostinger, though I have never used this service so I cannot vouch for it.
Payment processors accepted - Bitcoin

Visfirm - http://visfirm.com/hosting
As suggested by a user on the forum, this host provides fast SSD hosting for an affordable price. I have never used it, but it is run by a trustable member of the community. Use the code BITCOINTALK
Forum Topic - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1022773.msg11068229

Dot.tk* - http://www.dot.tk
This service provides free .tk domains for people to use. A downside with this is not only does it make your website look somewhat unprofessional, but .tk domains are regularly associated with scams.
Payment processors accepted - N/A

FreeNom* - http://www.freenom.com
This service provides free domains under 4 TLDs. The downsides with this service are the same as Dot.tk.
Payment processors accepted - N/A

This is what i use because it's the best ... check it out  http://www.doteasy.com/web-hosting (http://www.doteasy.com/web-hosting)


Part 2 - Creating a faucet:
Before we begin, there is another guide on how to create a faucet using the FaucetBox micropayment processor here created by SpreadBit
If you have little programming knowledge, not to worry, there are several pre made scripts for you to use for your faucet.
Something you have to choose from is which payment processor and script you would like to use. There is little difference between them, so just pick based on your own opinion.
If you would like something custom made, try posting in the Services section and a dev may help you.

TIP - Once you have your faucet up and running, try to put an initial somewhat large deposit into your selected processor (0.01BTC or more). This will give you time to spread word of your faucet, without you having to worry about funds.

FaucetBox* - http://faucetbox.com
This processor was a successor to Microwallet after the admin left. This processor supports payments from Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Peercoin. This processor currently has a very large amount of faucets running on it, and is very trusted by the community. They offer a free faucet script here, and also a way to migrate a Microwallet faucet to FaucetBox here.
BitcoinTalk thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1094930.0

Paytoshi* - http://paytoshi.org
I currently use this processor on one of my sites and it has worked very well. The admin is good with support and even made a library for payments on request. I would recommend this processor. This processor also provides a free faucet script, which you can find here.
BitcoinTalk thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=881989.0

Minifaucet - https://gitlab.com/minifaucet/public
While this is not a payment processor, it is a faucet script created by Elbandi and supports withdrawals through Blockchain.info, Coinbase.com, FaucetBox.com, Xapo.com or a custom daemon. Using a daemon means that this script supports any coin. It is based off of the MyFaucet script for inputs.io, which was very popular and widely used a year or two back. This is the only faucet script here that supports on site balances, and direct payments to wallets. Because of this, you should use a high cashout minimum if you decide to use this script (0.0001BTC\10,000 Satoshi minimum).
BitcoinTalk thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=333748.0

Cryptocurrency Faucet - https://github.com/ChristianGrieger/Cryptocurrency-faucet-script
Once again, this is not a payment processor, but a faucet script made for http://wow.bitcoinproject.net/. This script doesn't use any online API, instead it uses daemons to send the coins. This means that this script can use any currency, and also is not reliant on any other website to send payments. This script also supports blockchain.info withdrawals. In addition to this, it has very in depth settings and even an anti-tor script. However, this also means that this script requires some technical knowledge to set up and get running and also requires a VPS server to run well. The github has a link to get everything set up.

Xapo - https://developers.xapo.com/
Contrary to the previous two, this is not a faucet script but a Bitcoin payment processor so you must make your own but your in luck keep reading. This is becoming increasingly popular in the faucet world as it provides bonuses for any webmaster who take up this payment processor. Xapo supports micro-transactions in the form of bits, allowing you to send from one wallet to the other. Here is a  Xapo script  with full instructions on how to install !!!! https://github.com/destinybogan/Faucet-Builder/archive/master.zip (https://github.com/destinybogan/Faucet-Builder/archive/master.zip)
  

Part 3 - Advertising:
Contents - Captcha Advertising | Banner Advertising

So, obviously if you are giving out free bitcoins, you will need a way of getting money back. The main way to do this is through Advertising. In this section, I will give you a run down of the most popular ad networks.
I will be separating this into two parts, as there are two ways of putting advertising onto your faucet.
CAUTION - Some of these do not support Bitcoin withdrawal, which may make them unsuitable for some people.

TIP - Do not plaster your site with advertising. Believe it or not, you do not need 4 468x60 banners stacked underneath each other in order to make ends meet. Try to keep your advertising non intrusive, and do not encourage users to click your ads (it is against the ToS of most ad networks).

TIP 2 - Do not use popup ads, or ads that redirect the user away from your faucet. This will make you look unprofessional, and will likely make it so you cannot advertise your faucet on certain sites (If you use the FaucetBox payment processor, your faucet will not be approved if you use pop up ads).

TIP 3 - You may need to implement an anti-adblock script in order to stop loss of funds. There are a lot of scripts around for this, simply search Google for them.

Captcha Advertising:
This is advertising which is displayed inside your captcha. This is useful as it is non intrusive and also gives your faucet some protection against bots.
This advertising source is not too great when it comes to earning money, and should not be relied upon for your funds. I will give examples of my earnings where I can.

AreYouAHuman?* - http://www.areyouahuman.com
This captcha gives the user small puzzles to solve in order to complete the captcha. These puzzles can sometimes be based around a certain product, which is how you generate money with this captcha. This captcha is apparently one of the better ones when combating bot abuse.

Funcaptcha* - https://www.funcaptcha.com/
This captcha gives the user small puzzles which must be solved in order to complete the captcha. This captcha is apparently one of the better ones when combating bot abuse.

Captch Me - http://www.captchme.com
This French captcha provider gives a similar model to Minteye, in that you slide a bar to prove that you are not a bot. An ad is then displayed once the captcha has been successfully completed. I do not have much information on payouts and such, as there doesn't seem to be much on the website.

Reklamper - http://www.reklamper.com/
A Russian captcha provider which provides a basic text captcha with an ad to the right hand side of it. This could perhaps be read by a bot, as the captcha seems to be pretty basic and not very skewed. Once again, I do not know much about payments and the like.

SolveMedia* - http://www.solvemedia.com
This is an extremely widely used and supported captcha type on most faucet scripts. Occasionally a small pre-roll ad will appear in the captcha, or simply just a banner at the top. You will earn for every captcha solved on this system. However, since some of this captchas questions are multiple choice answers, it can be easy for bots to decipher. In addition to this, in order to get a cash out, you have to fill in a tax form.
CAUTION - This captcha has been known for easy abuse by bots.

Banner Advertising:
This is the advertising that will make you the money to help cover your faucet costs.
As said before, please do not plaster your site with as much advertising as humanly possible. Not only is it ugly on the eye, but it makes you look desperate.

Anonymous Ads* - http://www.a-ads.com
Probably the oldest bitcoin ad network still running. Pays based on the amount of views, but is dependant on which advertisers are advertising and their daily budget. I have used this network on all of my bitcoin projects and have been paid by it every time without fail. This ad network is for banner and text ads.
Minimum withdrawal - 0.0001BTC (No fee)

BitMedia* - http://www.bitmedia.io
This network displays both text and banner ads, and also boasts similar rates to Google Adsense. It also runs on a pay per click system.
Minimum withdrawal - 0.01BTC (No fee)

Bee-Ads - http://www.bee-ads.com
Bee-Ads runs on the same system as AdBit, however their minimum bid is only 0.000001BTC. This ad network is only for banner ads.
Minimum withdrawal - 0.001BTC (0.0001BTC Network Fee)

MellowAds - http://www.mellowads.com
MellowAds runs both CPM and CPC campaigns through out it's site. It allows advertisers to place both network and site-specific ads allowing it to reach out to sites of any size. In addition to this, it boasts 0% fees across it's network making it good for beginner sites.
Minimum withdrawal - 0.001BTC

CoinAdvert - http://www.coinadvert.net
CoinAdvert runs on a CPM (Cost per 1,000 views) system, mixed with the bidding system used in AdBit and Bee-Ads. An advertiser pays for 1,000 views or more for a price you set, and you get paid per view on that ad. This ad network is only for text advertising.
Minimum withdrawal - 0.002BTC (0.0001BTC Network Fee)

AdBTC - https://adbit.co/?r=SmSwknDjya5LobpDAZJCamBRlMbt3j
This network runs on a network share system where publishers get money for their share of the impressions/clicks. In addition to this, this network allows advertisers to place a free ad on their network.
In order to be accepted into this network, you must add the code to your page and email the owner of the site (as is explained on their FAQ Page).

Adalso - http://adalso.com/
This network runs similarly to MellowAds, as it allows CPC ads broadcast over the network and bidding on specific sites. This network is only for banner ads.

CPMLeader - http://www.cpmleader.com
An ad network that pays by a CPM system. You get paid for every unique impression every 24 hours.
Minimum withdrawal - $5 via Paypal

BitClix* - http://www.bitclix.com
BitClix runs on a pay per click system, meaning that every click on your ad gives you a set amount that the advertiser paid for. Can be good if you have a high click rate on your banners. This ad network is for banner and text ads.
CAUTION - There has been a scam accusation towards this site, however BitClix argue that the removal was due to low quality traffic from the site - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1032535.0
Minimum withdrawal - 0.001BTC (0.0001BTC Network Fee)

AdBit* - http://www.adbit.co
A successor to an older Bitcoin ad network which shut down after the admin went awol, AdBit runs on a pay-per-day bidding system. Basically, you put an ad space on your page, and people bid on it. The higher the bid the more of a share the advertiser has. Due to a spam of one satoshi bids, the default minimum cost per day is 0.0001BTC. This ad network is only for banner ads.
CAUTION - If you are using the default FaucetBox or Paytoshi script to advertise here your site may be taken off. Be sure to customize your script before adding this ad network. In addition to this, controversy has been created over the large amount of fees this network takes. These fees are up to change at any time.
Minimum withdrawal - 0.001BTC (0.0001BTC Network Fee)

Google Adsense* - http://www.google.com/adsense
The most popular ad network in the world. Runs off of both a cost per view and cost per click system based on the ad. A large amount of faucets use this system.
CAUTION - Bitcoin Faucets are arguably against the ToS, so if you earn a lot of money in a short amount of time your account may be banned. Please take care, and do not make your faucet's funds dependant on this network.
Minimum withdrawal - Dependant on your Country and Payment method

Media* - http://www.media.net
Media.net offers a CPM system which pays for every user which visits your website.
CAUTION - Some Bitcoin faucets can be against Media.net's ToS and Guidelines. Once again, use with caution and do not make your funds dependant on it.


Part 4 - Traffic:
Traffic is extremely important for a site similar to a faucet. Without it, there would be little to no point running your site and it would likely put you in the negative. I'm not going to list every faucet list/rotator here else it would be endless, only those that pull in decent traffic.

TIP - Higher rewards are very likely to get you more traffic. With this in mind, don't offer rewards so high that your faucet is regularly dry (empty of funds) or filled with advertising; this will likely minimize traffic towards your site.

FaucetBox / ScanTheBox* - https://faucetbox.com/en/list / http://scanthebox.com/
In addition to offering a micropayment processor and free faucet script, FaucetBox also has a faucet list and rotator that your faucet is added to. In order to get on this list, you must fill certain conditions listed on the site (e.g No popup or redirect ads). Your faucet must also use the FaucetBox API to be listed here.
BitcoinTalk thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1094930.0

Ifaucet* - http://ifaucet.net/
Available in Russian or English, this faucet list/rotator brings in a large amount of traffic to faucets listed on it's site. As it caters specifically to Russian users, traffic from Russia/Ukraine can be increased significantly through this site.
BitcoinTalk thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=826896.0

Paytoshi - https://paytoshi.org/faucets
Similar to FaucetBox, Paytoshi offers a faucet list in addition to a micropayment processor and faucet script. While I don't believe this gets as much traffic, you will get put on there if your faucet uses Paytoshi and is within their conditions.
BitcoinTalk thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=881989.0

Part 5 - Other Methods of Monetizing:
In addition to advertising, there are several other ways to monetize your faucet. As a faucet owner, you should take advantage of every way to monetize you can in order to allow for bigger rewards and more earning opportunities for your users. Here I will be listing non-shady methods of making extra money from your users, as I do not endorse anything shady personally.

Referral Rotators* - http://ifaucet.net/
I believe this to be the most ethical method of earning extra bitcoins from your users. Certain rotators (such as ifaucet) allow you to input referral links to earn the referral earnings from the faucets your referrals visit. This allows users of your faucet to earn more from other faucets, while you earn referral commission without linking hundreds of faucets at a time.

CoinWall - http://coinbucks.io/coin-wall.php
An easy to use offer-wall which is simply activated by signing up to their website and inputting code they give you onto the page. The reason this isn't recommended is that some offers can contain Adware or other malware to the users PCs which can be difficult to remove. Simply giving a warning about such offers should be sufficient.



Part 6 - A few things to consider:
Alright, so now let's clear up some things about a faucet that people seem to think.

Starting a faucet is insanely easy, and you require no programming knowledge.
While there are services out there that boast giving you a faucet, these can cost up to 1BTC and are a waste of money (in my opinion). Creating a bitcoin faucet is as easy as putting a few files into an FTP server, changing some text in one of the files, putting some advertising on it and keeping it funded. As people discover your faucet it will gain traffic naturally, even more if you help it along.

Adding a referral program will (most likely) drive more traffic to your faucet.
Adding a referral reward to your faucet will cost you more to run, but will almost certainly increase the traffic to your faucet. This is because people will have an incentive (a reason) to share the link to your website and get users to join. In addition to this, as long as the referral isn't anything too ridiculous, it will cost you very little in comparison to the traffic you will get.

Making a faucet will not make you rich.
Contrary to popular belief it seems, this is not the case at all. If you have some decent rewards on your faucet, you will be lucky to break even from advertising alone. I have known people that can make a large amount of money from owning a faucet, however it is not the faucet itself that gives them that money. so here is how you make money !!!


This is strictly my opinion owning and operating Bitcoin Faucets and experience that works for me.

1: First thing to do is open a Xapo account.

2: Find a good Faucet list on the web you admire.


3: Find one of those free hosting that doesn't cost anything. You will need two sites.one for a faucet list and two for a faucet until your faucet takes off then you can decide if your faucet is worth keeping and then buy a dot com domain and just forward the address.Keep in mind I payed for a domain and hosting after i saw good traffic.If your having problems finding a good free hosting + domain try this for an alternative until your faucet takes off http://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/diy-hosting-using-no-ip-wamp/ .Then i suggest you buy a no limit site when you start to profit.
Or if you can't afford it at all i would use this one personally for the list  https://wordpress.com here is an example of one i made  to show you how easy it really is https://xapofaucetlist.wordpress.com but the wordoress should only be use for the list not the faucet.The faucet needs a Cpanel for installing.


1: Choosing which faucet script to use that is linked to a online paying system for auto payouts is a whole letter grade in my book.While some are more popular than others, some are better. In my opinion Xapo or custom faucets are the best for profits but Xapo is better than all in my opinion and you will see why in this post. Here is a faucet script i use for Xapo http://bitcoinfaucetrelay.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Faucet-builder-clone-of-my-faucet.zi (http://bitcoinfaucetrelay.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Faucet-builder-clone-of-my-faucet.zi)p and here is a Custom Faucet site but cost money http://www.faucettheme.com  . FaucetBox is another popular script and can be used the same way the Xapo maximizes automatic payments  if you like FaucetBox

2:ok, so remember #2 about finding a faucet list you admire?? well, on one of those domains you must make a faucet list. take your time to make it nice spend lots of time on it .Don't just slap one together.This is going to be the bread and butter to pay for your faucet. The secret is this::: use the bitcoin address that is used to fill your faucet account for payouts  for the ref link in the faucet list.In my Xapo account i never have to refill the faucet because i get thousands more deposits into Xapo wallet then payouts with the Xapo faucet on the same wallet acount and xapo payments are instant from one Xapo account to another including faucets. so basically my faucet bitcoin address payout account is the same as my faucet list referral  bitcoin account address.

3: Once you have your list booming from advertising on all the social media and other faucet blogs like http://freebitcointalk.org try and figure out your average a day. Once you make so much a day  you can adjust your faucet to those payments so your faucet never goes dry. Keep in mind you must be making bitcoin on a daily basis to start you faucet up or you will run dry and that kills your faucet

4: keeping a faucet list on your Bitcoin Faucet is a must. To maximize profits for payouts you must have a small list somewhere on the faucet, preferably in their face .

5: Monetize your faucet with  bitmedia, a-ads, mellow ads, google adsense and bee adds. You must mix them up in my opinion but only have 1 or 2 a-ads on the faucet the rest 2 of each. Remember to do the same to your faucet list to maximize profits.This is my faucet for example  to see what i mean by in there face  http://www.bitcoinfaucetexchange.com and diffrent advertising i use. Here is also my list that supports my faucet payouts 100% http://bitcoinfaucetrelay.com . I have not paid one cent except when i started to profit  i bought a domain for 40$ no limit site on doteasy. i started off with the wamp example . Smiley

I don't use google adsense because they screwed me out of paying me. They pay once a month when you reach 100$ and i was at 90$ and they said people were clicking using proxies or vpn. I tried to explain my site is based on bitcoin and anonymously but instead i ended up cursing the guy out  so fuck google adsense. LOL

The reason most faucets die is because they can't afford to keep paying bitcoin and not making a profit.This is because they never had a profit to start with to feed the faucet. Don't make the same mistake.Fact is, all advert companies don't make you enough to make a profit except adsense but they pay you in cash and you will have to put up the bitcoin the first month and then you have to worry if they will cancel you and you lost all that bitcoin. Bee ads is good to profit if you have a popular site and they are having a bid war to place ads on your site but even that is for a season...

To be honest i don't make that much on ads ! I make more bitcoin or money on the referrals for different things on my site then on ads. On bitmedia i might get 3 clicks a day on average and they pay about 17000 sat a click. on a-ads I make about 30,000 everyday. Bee ads it depends on the bidding.
 To get real traffic you should submit your websites to all search engines here http://www.entireweb.com/free_submission/ some you must do manualy on that site and make sure you check your email and click the submit in the emails.Another good traffic source is a crypto directory .Just list your site and the traffic will increase by 100% or more doing both.

Most of my money comes from the list and affiliates ads with different things  related to bitcoin including giving away 10$ in bitcoin i get a commission. last week i made 600$ in commission giving away 10$ in gold which you can trade back into bitcoin. Its on my site if you want to sign up and work for them too!

All the Bitcoins i get from advertisers helps pay for the faucet. (You should know) The faucet is just one big free advertisement for what you're really selling,unless you like making micro bitcoins as a hobby that is fun too!
If you take my advice and come up with a way to make bitcoin on auto you will have a free faucet that you own and can advertise to 1000'S of people a day with stuff from amazon cause you are a affiliate of sell gold etc, there is plenty of items you can sell and this video helped me

with learning  :::: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bedxiZXtxKo

6: The whole idea is to set up the faucet and just gather bitcoins with no maintenance other than to prune the dead faucets once and a while from your list and find new ones. So making money on auto is another definite letter grade  . Using Xapo people get paid directly and there is no threshold to cash out because they don't charge you to use your money. Make sure you have more than one wallet account in xapo because you only want to keep as much money as you need in the account attached to your  Xapo APP key in case you get hacked all websites can get hacked !!

7: Start using more social media sites to advertise  your faucets more also get your faucet on other lists and make sure your faucet list has a link on the faucet
Kind Regards,  Gifted

PS. Hope this helps, I had no teacher when i started so i thought this would help the poor and new.
PSS: The whole idea is to make a faucet that doesn't cost you anything so if it dies you never lost anything but pride but you gained knowledge and a steady income list forever.  

Please post anything i missed or want to add and i'll add it to the top post if its feasible.

Here is stats from my page  http://statcounter.com/p10532560/summary/?guest=1
 (http://statcounter.com/p10532560/summary/?guest=1)
At the moment i'm seeing how popular and how far this method will take me down the rabbit hole. As of now seems to be working fine.


That's it, now that you've read through this you should have a bit of a better idea on running a faucet and what it entails.
Have any more questions? Feel free to post them in this thread and I'm sure that either me or another faucet owner will help give you an answer.
Do you have a service that you want featured on this guide? Post here or send a PM and I will add it.

Enjoyed this guide? Send me a tip at 3Eu1Ac4PNzPeTzMmR27KTbeSvyU5P7aBJp
Have a good day, and happy faucet-ing!


New **** Block Russia like this in .htaccess  https://www.countryipblocks.net/deny_russia.txt

Are the bot attacks much lesser then faucetbox websites. Anyone who own such Xapo faucet can tell me please.

yes I assure you less bot attack I'll help you to avoid bot attacks .

Thanks for your answer so far. Can you also tell me if the amount of visitors are not much lesser when you compare with faucetbox faucets. I can understand people don't want to use XAPO so that people don't come back to your faucet.

Traffic depends on your reward .

Sounds good. Would love to give it a try.

With a high reward its the same amount of people claiming. Faucet box gets more bots!

Since bots attacked faucetbox faucets. I now think having a xapo faucet better now. Xapo faucets are safer than faucetbox and one good thing of xapo faucets is they pay directly to xapo wallet.

Xapo faucets still get bots but far less ....there are plenty of detergents you can add....just ask here and ill tell you or faucetrank can help, hes made a pretty good code for it.

Thanks, I will try this script, prepare xapo too.

can you post some live demo faucets?

i use this script as you can see here  http://bitcoinfaucetexchange.com (http://www.bitcoinfaucetexchange.com)

The menu is custom but you can add any bootstrap menu or make your self

another demo is http://faucetrank.com/faucet

I'll help you to block bad/cheaters/bot users
I'll help you to add recaptcha to your xapo faucet if you don't want solvemedia .

So you are advanced with building a faucet nice you share you experience with some people. Also some others help a lot here on this forum. I will start next few days with sorting things out and try to build a fresh faucet have to think about it what I exactly want to create.

I forgot 1 more thing now antibot link also available for xapo script I'll also help you to add antibot script in your xapo faucet .

Also the multi login possibility Xapo/faucetbox combined I see is available on your website. Is that solution more safe then faucetbox only. That is maybe the best option if safety against bots is the same standard.

I dont see a multi login possibility Xapo/faucetbox .....on his site but it would be nice to add.

There is a field where you can fill your BTC address named like this. 'Insert your email or BTC address'

Ok, what that means is  you can put either or but no funds go to faucetbox. If you don't have a Xapo account the funds will be sent to you once you reach 5500 in the system and its direct to your BTC wallet but if you use a xapo email or xapo BTC address its instant

Okay I understand and this is also working good if you implement both to your faucet?

If you want Faucetbox as a second withdraw too ,you will need to open a Faucetbox account and fill it up with coins so often. This will have to be coded in.

Xapo e-mail claims only plz? Some users would hate it, but it would stop bots 100%.

Ok so this balance is separate from each other. Also thanks for your help so far I will try to create one.

sure no problem, glad i can help  :)

Is anyone building any?

I wonder if it's possible to create  2 in one faucet .
if email is entered will be paid through xapo and if BTC wallet is entered then will be paid through faucet box .

I understand you have to choose between XAPO login or faucetbox login but that is fine. I like it how that field is now and yes I will try to build an faucet next few days. Only need to take few hours to sort things out about how and where I can get it best online.

im flying out to miami this morning for work and i'll be gone for 3 weeks but im sure FaucetRank can help while im gone..I'll try and look in once and a while to help.  8)

Yes I'll be here to help for Xapo faucet script as much as I can help . Have a nice journy  :)

Thanks  8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

And put the keys as the tutorial says if I have an empty wallet will be for that? And apologizes for being so inquisitive if one lays bitcoins there is no way to just take those of a specific portfolio for the faucet ? thanks friend. :)

if it appears that the error was mine, and that all the tap was wondering if you could help me put the anti bot that you have or if you know of any tutorial to do

OK I'll help you to put antibot but tomorrow .

Heyho,

How can i use other captchas than solvemedia?
Thought solvemedia is easiest to break by bots?

I'll help you tomorrow for adding g recaptcha

Bitcoinker is using that method.

-------------------------------------

Anyway, is it possible to use the script on free hostings? Like Hostinger or Yola?

I have a xapo faucet list which i have been promoting on a wordpress blog page. I have just recently moved it to my own domain and private host www.bitcointime.site I am considering to place a xapo faucet now but it seems quite complicated. I don`t have much experience with websites and scripts so not sure if i can manage it. I am also worried whether i will have have problems with bot attacks. Could you please share your experiences with xapo faucets. Do you make significant profit? Do you have a lot of problems with bot attacks?

i dont have any problems with bots...creating a faucet is easy with that script it comes with complete instructions ....feel free to ask me for help

Thanks!

Use mini faucet script

I was going to use mini faucet but it seems the creator has bugs in it
 and his admin page sucks very bad

I would have done it for faucet builder but I'm not getting time to do any modifications because of job .

Hello
The script and the package complete with instructions is great.
I followed all the instructions, but I'm not able to run the faucet. Please see if someone can help me, the faucet is:
http://bits4all.one/faucet3

The error is: UNABLE TO PROCESS YOUR REQUEST

Do not use the Xapo e-mail account where you are getting the API keys.
Use another Xapo account.
I tested your faucet and it's working fine.

---

By the way, I already figured out how to change Solve Media to Google reCaptcha and thanks to sir Gifted for helping out about the weekly payout.

Thank you so much, I spent over 6 hours looking for a solution. Now I'll create a new account Xapo. So I can use it just for that faucet.

Also if you cant take btc address  i can help with that !  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Bump for the noobs

The faucet is running: http://bits4all.one/faucet3

Bump for the noobs

If anyone need help with this im here for you !!!

Hi Gifted,

I installed the faucet script on my domain but it seems to be stuck. It keeps giving an error while i checked and double check the APP id? What could be the problem?
I've sent an email to the developers of XAPO, but no response yet (4 days has passed).

What is the error saying? if you are testing with your email or btc address of the same account as the app ID it will give you and error.

Thanks for getting back at me.

The error I get is:
Either the App token or Hash are invalid

I've tested it with 3 different bitcoin addresses and even changed he hash a few time (32 digits)

Did you put a hash key in config? the instructions came with a generator for hash key if your having problems ill give you one to use


use this one ZgWIRBsarthKx2m9J3ouDhXMvxtcIdQW  just change a few letters but make sure its cap if needs to be. if that doesnt work i will have to help you setting up your app key correctly

Many new Xapo faucets being made with this package and its free!

I got a bot yesterday, and it hit me hard.

https://i.imgur.com/wahB0aT.png

Despite of having a maximum of 700 satoshis configured on my faucet, the bot claimed 1,000 to 10,000 satoshis yesterday.

IP address is: 39.248.108.96 and 109.193.194.27

some how they are accessing your faucet, when i first got the faucet i was hacked and upgraded to the new faucet with better security and it never happened again but i might have gave you the wrong copy... go here and get the latest to make sure  https://github.com/destinybogan/Faucet-Builder (https://github.com/destinybogan/Faucet-Builder)

How are they claiming 8 times times in a row??? i would be surprised if the are doing some kind of sql injection but the faucet has security for that in the code.

I was getting robbed this morning at 630 Am when i looked and to shut off faucet until i can figure out how to stop them. The thing is there is always someone smarter then you or me and we just have to deal with it accordingly. one kick in the ass is one step forward!

I plan on updating this script  in the download when i can.

My experience is the same with this:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1301917.80

Although that thread is five months ago, I think the trick is still alive, since the script from destinybogan was last updated on 2015, it hasn't patched yet.

For now I'm relying on .htaccess while I'm finding a way how to protect from SQL injection and hacking.

I have fixed the security flaw message me for details

If you download this please ask me for the security  update

I PMed you sir.

By the way, this is the sucker stealing my Xapo bits:

https://i.imgur.com/Poaupsn.png

I have to block the IP addresses in Indonesian country on my faucet because of him.
Problem is, my ISP is also blocked, I think my ISP is getting a resources from that country, dang.

Put this where i had the old proxy code and change email in the code
 I just modified the code So people can go to site but not claim or they get another screen


change you htaccess to this instead

Bump  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi mate, I contacted you some time ago. The installation went stuck with the xapo hash. I tried many things but I was not able to get it to work.
So I used the faucetbox script. Will there be a fix for this script?

  Hash key is just random 32  characters random   you can just type a 32 character hash or look in the manual and it gives a website to make it for free.  if you still have a problem i will make you one and you can change a few letters

I want everyone to know this script has not been hacked.... there is a security flaw with xapo  not this script !

My Xapo Faucet. For those who want to add XAPO rotator. http://www.lavajato.top (http://www.lavajato.top)

Lava jato! HUEHUEbr

You should use some anti adblock script and make something with the site design, you can start removing the "Admin Panel" link.

Bump

Hi Gifted,

I do not understand where have gone wrong in installing the script.

I did as per instructed, changing all the required values. However upon claiming the faucet using xapo email(not the same email which contact the xapo app), nothing happens. There is no error message. Upon checking my main xapo account, there is no transaction made at all.

Please help, http://rsclix.com

@Gifted

Thanks for your support and putting us in your list, it’s much appreciated!

wow! this is just funny. nearly 3 years later..



Maybe update bitmedia than, eh?. They do chargebacks on publishers. Before you know it your balance suddenly is -0.015 BTC.
