Yeh blocking IPS blindly is not solution I blocked many and my earning dropped .
I have been biting my tongue not to reply to some messages but with this I can not agree. I totally disagree for 200%. Just like in real life should bad behaviour be punished. Where do you draw the line? Some VPS/proxies are allowed, others are not? (BTW, I respect your opinions. This is a democracy.)  |

When I started with my faucet earned more money, as I have been blocking IPS for VPS etc. my earnings have dropped significantly, sincerely believe that those who generate profits are these.
A common mistake I see is putting many millions of satoshis on the Web.
Yeah, I know why that is. Today I saw that Bee-ads is counting some of my vpn/proxy visitors as actual visitors. In a way they are actual visitors; It is an actual user that is hiding his or her IP address. And if Bee-ads is counting them, other advertising service might count them too. |

best way to reduce the abuse is to block proxies and vps
Agreed. Giving away even 1 satoshi is too much for scammers. |

I have been playing with the idea of starting a service... But let's do the math.
fi 10 campaign managers, each have 3 campaigns, each campaign has 100 users... that's 3000 connections (or signature checks) every day. I don't think the forum people will like this.
Is there anyone interested in Windows software that can do this?

I bet it's a martingale or at least martingale inspired method...

Hi again.
I'm interested to get some opinions on what's the best anti-bot and captcha for a custom faucet which involves a game where you need to click on a button in order to make an action in game.
I've found many scripts in here which eliminate known TOR/bot IPs, but that's not a solution to be honest.
I'm trying to find the easiest way I can block bots w/o making user's experience difficult.
The best captcha is Recaptcha. Trust me, I've worked in the internet marketing field in the past and no software can 100% crack this, only human-run captcha solving services. Too bad it's owned by Google. |

Regarding my site, it's not public yet. Still doing some tweaks here and there.
Will post it soon (I hope)
Let me know when it's up and/or if you need help. |

You have a very nice site I must say. Sorry to hear about google  They can be assholes sometimes, for no reason. What they ask is content on people's websites. I don't see why you didn't get accepted, since you have content on your website? Thanks. I had my site up for auction a few days ago. I'm a bit happy I still have it. Could you share your site? PM perhaps? I guess it wasn't content enough. Again, it's ok. |

I came across your post earlier, and I have the same questions.
You don't want to block traffic from VPNs/Proxies, but what you can do is block them from claiming from your faucet.
Would you mind PMing me with you faucet's link, if not a problem?
Regarding your bitcoin target. I think it would take a lot of time to achieve it. Of course, you could promote your faucet by investing the money you earn and speed up that process.
Go with adsense, they're the best if you want to make money.
I don't block the traffic, I block the claiming. I'll PM you my link. It's no secret which faucet I own. I did promote. I have daily real/honest users. My adsense application got rejected. Google doesn't like faucets. All the Google ads on faucets were put there against the Google rules. Doesn't matter really; I'm earning very little but I have fun running the site. |

Any captcha will do. Funcaptcha is good. People here might claim that it can be bypassed by bots but I have yet to see the proof. No one can give me proof. Funcaptcha is fun and the owners of FC have a whitehat reward program; They pay people to try to crack/bypass their captcha. The problem nowadays aren't bots but vpn/proxy users. I have had 210+ claims today in less than 11 hours. Thats over 150000 satoshis saved. Check my dilemma: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1094930.msg13424073#msg13424073 |

Please PM me when you are ready. I could suggest to make on a monthly subscription or by user subscription, but not free. It is really useful for signature campaign and when you have 2-3 coins/week for payment, you will have and lets say 0.05BTC for this script.
I don't want to run a service. If anyone wants to run a service, I can develop a script just for them. |
|
|
|
Btw, can you tell me what your site is really about?
It's a ponzi where some people will lose money. From the site: If there is not enough balance to cover your output, your deposit is lost. We do not generate any profits at all. All inputs are collected in one pot. This pot pays all outputs. That's the whole magic. That's why I am not entering this contest. |

So it is now final I will just list them and don't send an invite I just notice that some faucets do not have a good view of claim button ,some users will have to under go multiple verification I have some faucets that will took users a minute to see the anti bot button because it is hidden and placed under those ads that you can mistakenly click those ads
Some faucets are like that. Mine isn't. Maybe you could list them and have your visitors decide to use them or not...? |

Don't charge us (faucet owners). You could earn a lot from using your referral link.
(I won't pay to have my site listed - I'm already handing out satoshis for free).

You should add email notification into your to-do list. I mean, the signature campaign manager will get an email if the participant change their signature.
I guess the owners/admins of this forum wouldn't like the HUGE traffic load generated by the script if used too much. If you can make a complete script, I'm pretty sure we cannot use it for free anymore. Quality coding takes time (and thus money). Not really sure.. |
|

|
I am considering making a complete script:
- Register/login for campaign manager
- Adding/editing/deleting campaigns
- Automated checker with logging
But it will take some time to make a secure and complete script... :/

OP, can you add a little feature when we want to see user's profile here "User ID xxx" to make this a hyperlink so when we click it it redirects to user's profile, hope you understand what i want to say.
Something like this? http://bitblabber.com/scripts/signaturechecker/ |

Hello normally <1 or 2 % maybe bots if your wallet going empty again and again too fast and your visitors are less then maybe bot or proxy
I am talking about honest users vs users who use proxies/vpns. I have a small faucet. Today I have 6 normal claims, 150 proxies/vpns. That's less than 5% of actual users. When I check their wallet addresses I see so many faucets being "abused". |

Guys, I'm stuck with a real dilemma.
I started my own faucet to earn some money. My goal is to own/earn 1 BTC. A few days ago I wondered: How many of my users are honest actual users, how many of them are scammers?
Can you, as a faucet owner, answer that question? Do you have the slightest idea?
The FaucetBOX script is a good and decent script, but it is lacking some features:
- Transparency (actual claims, blocked claims, ...)
- Extra security measurements
This is where my dilemma comes in. A part of me wants to share my countermeasures and my addon scripts/modifications. For a little price that is; I still aim for my 1 BTC.
On the other hand: If I do so, I risk exposing my own security measurements on my site, rendering all my efforts useless in the long run.
Any thoughts? Keep it clean and decent please, I am aiming for a positive conversation here. Thanks.
