This address "1D9Rncezd6AwGzw1a5REsLfbDPMYu3Um4L" has cost me 0.39BTC in just 2 days!

If you ever see this address on your payout list block it immediately! My God i feel like crying! So happy i found the route of my problems!

Stay safe out there and always check your payout list, there is an amount of referral payout you should have paid to an address before you decide to block it! This address has made enough from me so i have decided to block it. 0.39BTC is enough reward for a particular address in referral commission.

this address have earn 0,39 bitcoin in 2 day only with ref earning? and all ref are bot ? And how many you have paid for every user?
if you only block the address not solve the problem

I have paid more than 0.5BTC so far and it's because of this address! I am so pissed but relieved i found it. It's actually from Russia. So i just blocked the whole country again. I should install and anti-bot by tomorrow.

sorry for you, very big amount, i don't thinked one faucet have all this amount online , i thinked add 0,02-0,05 maximum and refilled every time.

more bots is from Russia, for this more faucet block this country

I blocked off Russia and China and think the next dangerous place is Ukraine and even The U.S I just saw one of my referrers using to many bitcoin addresses. I have now blocked them all.

Most faucet traffic is from Russia and Ukraine. Good idea to block boths.

Maybe you did right... Block only BTC address isn't enough, he can use another wallet to do the same thing again. Sad that all the country must pay for the mistakes of some people...

And they are risking doing it because in Russia BTC is forbidden for them.

So.. You want people to give you advert money by visiting your faucet but you want to block potential bots who might actually simply be btc evangelist in their small community telling everyone to sign up for freebies at your site using his refferal code than you are blocking them?

To be honest, just close your faucet site if you just want to earn money from it

ok.
but where get traffic? it's most trafic for faucet

Seems like you are back again with your unique questions after getting a new signature eh hackerboss. A good and fair faucet would not need to block specific traffic sources. If you are complaining about potential bots, it just simply means that you are in for a quick buck and probably jsut bought a cheap faucet script without doing any security features or innovative things to attract traffic

Pretty vague assumption to make my friend, you sound offended. Are you Russian or American? I am Canadian and yes i have been noticing so many discrepancies with countries visiting my website and its mostly russia. I wasn't bot attacked and my script wasn't cheap nor costly. I make use of Faucetboxr script and i have an anti-bot system installed. That address never spammed me it just had way to many referrals and it was dragging my satoshi to the ground pretty quick so i had to block it and i was surprised myself that a referrer could make that much off of me!
So i do apologize if i have offended anyone but i just started and losing so much money is a big concern to me. If there is any suggestion as to where i can get my hands on better faucet scripts then i am all ears and willing to pay for it.

Oh Shoot! You weren't talking to me, My bad... Disregard please. So what is the best way to install an anti-bot? only the captchas are enough?

I have help you promote your site have link on my homepage then you block my address 1JUc1zShpFuzXKTbHtU7xHo5RkYLyGDchf why?

primera is a honest user and claimer. Why did you ban him?

Because i believe i have paid you enough referral fee and you a driving the amount of satoshi in circulation to the ground. I have paid you enough referral fee! Let more people come in and gain more satoshi as well. It's because of you and others that i haven't been able to determine a permanent satoshi claim amount. You have had enough satoshi from me my friend. I'm not indebted to you and neither are you to me. I am just trying to do whats best for the people who don't have enough referral power like you do. Now they can all earn more.

I have unblocked your address but sadly i have reduced my referral fee to 5% and because of you other people will not be able to make enough anymore. You happy now? You never helped me buddy, i paid you--Just so we are clear on that.

i was lost about 1.1 btc from my faucetbox when my site hacked.

i know you feeling, just don't give up.

That's not how it works. You defined the variables of the system you are offering, and people are using it.
You cannot randomly decide who to pay and who not. If the user earns the referral fee, it means his referrals earned you money too.
If your faucet allows abuse then fix it.
That's like saying "I'm not offering my product in $country because it gets hacked there" instead of fixing the cause of the problem.
What will you do when the botters use an US based VPN? Block the USA?

And no, I'm not using your (or any other) faucet.

earned me money? you do understand that i am just starting and all i have made is losses and most especially from having an address with large referral. A referral fee is supposed to be a one time claim on everyone the referrer brings, not continuous. I can't work with continuous. Still going to block the address after sometime because i will need to increase my referral fee soon enough. You want more referral satoshi? provide another address and bring in new faces. That's how it's supposed to be. I can't be indebted to you forever.

But i will surely be more open later in the future, i wouldn't mind paying referral fee for years. I just haven't made money yet. I don't have bots on my website. I have an anti-bot installed it was the first thing i did while configuring the script.

Seems incredible someone can make so much by botting/referring, it is good to know. Sorry for your loss, and thanks for your warning!

I am sorry about lost btc, but you have to know one thing: you are offering refferal commision my friend, and with that you have people here who are promoting your site(and you pay tham back with that commision), so you are actually saying "promote me and after some time i will take your refferals %"? Why do you have refferal program than? You can always set refferal program to give 1% to sponsor on sponsors claim with maximum of 100% for every active user under them..
cheers

You have basically two options:

1. A referral commission in percent of what the referral earned. If you earn eg 3.90BTC from them through ads and pay out a 10% commission of 0.39BTC, you still keep 3.51BTC. Then there is abosutely no reason to cap the commission, unless you want to piss of your partners by looking greedy.

2. A "bounty" program where you pay for every referral who signed up under a user. If you do that blindly just based on sign-up numbers, well no surprise that it gets abused. It's easy to create hundreds of fake accounts and pile up the bounties on the main account. Tie that to a requirement, eg "bounty is only paid after the referral earned amount X".
