Title: Howto for installing Testnet faucet? Post by: ArpFlush on October 27, 2016, 12:02:18 PM Hi guys,
Can anyone advise me in installing a testnet bitcoin faucet? I already have a webhosting and I can use various CMS (e.g. WP). Thanks ;) Title: Re: Howto for installing Testnet faucet?

Thanks ;) I'd probably just install bitcoin core, and run a daemon in testnet mode... Then i would create a php/mysql script to use json-rpc in order to generate transactions when a claim was made. Especially when talking about testnet, it's all pretty basic stuff. Just a form an a captcha. When info is posted, enter the ip and timestamp into the db and check if a claim can be made. If true, either make a json-rpc call, or store the info into a db and run a cronjob to query the db and make the transaction on an hourly/daily basis) You could probably use an open source script like this one to do the same thing: https://github.com/tuaris/FaucetRPC (disclaimer: just found this script by searching github, i have no idear if this one is secure). EDIT: if it's 100% sure testnet only, i'd be willing to invest a couple of hours in order to write something up whenever i have some time (might take a couple of weeks tough) Title: Re: Howto for installing Testnet faucet?

Yes, pure testnet ;) I'll check out the link too! Title: Re: Howto for installing Testnet faucet?

Yes, pure testnet ;) I'll check out the link too! Since i had a couple of hours today, i quickly made a proof of concept testnet faucet: https://github.com/mocacinno/simple_testnet_faucet It's a PROOF OF CONCEPT TESTNET FAUCET, DO NOT RUN IT ON THE MAIN NET!!!!! It will work, but your funds will be drained in mere days I did nothing, repeat nothing, to avoid abuse of this system, nor did i check for security vulnerabiltys... If you want to use this faucet as a mainnet faucet, you'll have to extend/fix/patch this code and at least: - check for possible vulnerabilitys - add ref system (add a table, insert each address as a user, keep track of the referring user, when running cronjob.php insert record in the faucet table to pay out refferer) - kick bots - kick proxy's - kick VPN's - kick tor - create blacklist - create admin page - add extra checks: 1 claim per ip, 1 claim per address,... - add captcha - make a nice gui - add an installation script - add bitcoin.conf sample - implement session - implement ad management - test the hell out of it - ...

Sorry for this very late reply. Thanks for helping out. We are testing your test atm. I'll keep you posted on further updates ;) Thanks again! Title: Re: Howto for installing Testnet faucet?
