Title: Faucets and bots Post by: msti on February 20, 2017, 08:17:14 AM Hi,
I have been running a faucet for the last couple of months and I found that the hardest part is to protect against the bots. I started with high rewards, a short timer and the solvemedia captcha, but this proved a bad idea. I soon watched the number of claims being very high, but the number of visitors reported by google analytics staying the same. This was a sign that the faucet was hit by bots. Then I replaced solvemedia by recaptcha. As far as I understand, repatcha is more expensive to solve (3$ per 1000 captchas or ~300 Satoshis per claim) but still I had to reduce the claim to 100 Satoshis in order to avoid the bots. I do not want to have multiple captchas and I do want to keep high rewards for the users, but this is very difficult to do. I look at moonbit faucet and they give high rewards for rich countries. How are they protecting? What are your thoughts? Title: Re: Faucets and bots Post by: LieXurui on February 20, 2017, 11:31:16 AM how much price youre bot, or can get free

As you see, there's 2.8k users (or better to say, accounts) caught doing bad things.

Sometimes you need to talk as a third person point of view. |
