Bitcoin Forum

Normally bots automatically copy paste referral link to get referral rewards but you can disable copy paste using a java script just Google it you'll get that script in top results.

Nice! There are a lot of bot surfing web right now...
But anyway I find this solution on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1226574/disable-copy-paste-into-html-form-using-javascript

This can be a good approach to avoid the referral copying, but a good programmer could "create" by itself from the domain.
For e.g.User BBB make a request on www.aaa.com Then referral url : www.aaa.com/?ref=BBB
They don't need to copy I think.... Or even they can put manually... but yes the trick work because they have to lost time (and human need to interact with bot)

Yes  its not 100% bot stopping idea but helps to prevent those copy paste bots .

What about when people want to add Bitcoin Addresses? They need to copy and paste then, will this disable that?

I didn't said disable Copy paste in input form area .
just disable copy function so bot can't copy text of referral URL from your faucet  .

The code only disables the area here the Java Script script is used. For eg. It can diable the copy-pasting of email address or something like that by using attributes of input element.

Anyone can easily disable Javascript(if you're not using a pop-up JS script for displaying the ref link) or just inspect element  ::) . You can't get around a botter, it just shows how determined he is just for a few sats

I don't know where you got that idea, but that's absolutely incorrect. copy & paste is something only humans do. bots operate in computer memory, they don't care.

and even if that was true, do you really think doing something like


is hard for a programmer, who can actually beat your captcha?

on the other hand, you're making it hard on your visitors.

just my 2 cents.

Yea, nice idea, thanks. It will be nice if someone solve problem with bots on all 100%. :/

It's not 100% stop bots probably even do not stop bots but its safety as I feel so .

a programmer can make his bot in any way .

hahahahaha  ;D
Copy / paste ?
bitcoin address ?
lol

I'm pretty sure that bots aren't copying them because they already have it when they download faucet webpage (javascript won't help either). Such silly things only annoy normal users.

nothing is annoying for users they can copy - paste their address in input text field but only they can't copy any text from website .

So you are stopping them from copying from the website. Meaning, that they cannot copy their reerral links or any other information. Meaning, that they will probably go elsewhere depending on the length of the referral link of course.

thanks for simple idee ;)

I want to learn how bots work.
