Just got another warning:

That's why I was so surprised when I found out my IP address was blacklisted. But it was from other users on my same IP within the country I live in. Check out that honey pot project link and see what you can do to get whitelisted. I'm not saying that this may fix your problem, but it's worth a try, as this is what fixed my problem. Cheers!

Well, this isn't good:

The reason my IP address was blacklisted was because of other people on my IP address (I don't have a dedicated IP address, and I'm pretty sure that you don't either) who were using spambots and stuff. It's not necessarily something you might personally be doing. I just offered a solution, and instead of just complaining for the sake of complaining, try to see if this is the issue, mate. Good luck

I've had this issue before with another network; my IP address was blocked, and I was banned from a network of sites. I checked out Project Honey Pot and followed the steps to get whitelisted, and within 4 or 5 days, my IP was whitelisted again. I reached out via Twitter and email to the admin of the network of faucets, and all was well again.

Maybe use Tor or a VPN to login to their forum here: http://www.minerfarmtalk.com and ask about why you can no longer access your account. Have them check your IP address.

Good luck!

Glad to see that you felt inclined to sign up an account to let us know this for your first post...

I have just made a claim on the site, and am able to log into the site just fine. Maybe you should look up the definition of the word "scam" before you use it so lightly.

I can login fine from MinerFarm and Platoon Game. Maybe try again?

Two things:

1. Are you on Twitter?
2. Do you plan on adding a section that will show referrals?

Is this your website, or are you just sharing this site with us?

You are the exact reason why Google bans crypto faucets in the first place. Shame on you, dude.

Hey admin,

A couple of times now, after my 10-minute cooldown, I have refreshed the page, filled out the captcha, and clicked the anti-bot buttons, then click the "Get Reward" button, and nothing happens. The button doesn't submit any data, and there is no action afterwards. I have to wait a minute, and then refresh the page and try again in order for it to work again. Maybe there is some kind of issue with the timing of the cooldown timer that's affecting the form action of the button... Thought you'd like to know, as it's pretty annoying.

I also had a user direct message me on Twitter to thank me for referring them to the site, but I have not seen any referral commissions in my FaucetBox account. You're using the Faucet in a Box solution, right? Haven't had that happen before, but maybe my referral scrubbed my ref link from the url before signing up :/

No problem.

And for the record, one of my referrals was falsely banned, and their account was restored after contacting support and given a manual review.

My claims are now back up to what they were before InstantSatoshi's testing period yesterday, so all is well again from my end.

I will update you guys here with more information and findings as I see them happen. They also respond very quickly to tweets and DM's on Twitter, so if you have a problem, I would reach out to them there!

According to their Twitter[/img], as posted yesterday:

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here, as your upgrades last 1 year. But the simple economics of your website rule (according to your own words) that in order to payout your current upgraded members, you need to continue to have members upgrade their accounts.

This, however you look at, is a ponzi. So all I'm saying that as long as this site is popular, members will be okay, but once you hit the point of critical mass where (a) members are no longer buying upgrade packs and (b) you are no longer making a profit, this site will unfortunately, like many many others, fold and go bye-bye.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but I'm just giving fair warning to anyone looking to dump some cash into this site.

Best of luck to you, admin, and I really do hope you prove me wrong.

The line in your response that says "...should..." scares me the most about this site. As an admin, you should know right away whether or not your site will be able to pay back all the payments. I'm wiling to bet that if 100 people upgraded to the 1BTC upgraded plan within the next 24 hours, that your site would no longer be running in a week.

Unfortunately, when a new economy (provided by the members) is introduced into an environment like your website without securing the upgrade investments (with your own money - the advertising revenue won't cover 100 upgraded accounts because that's not how advertising revenue works...), that's a guaranteed recipe for a site shutdown. If you are going to be offering upgraded accounts, you need to limit the quantity of upgrades that you're allowing for each level until you can learn the economy of your site, and whether your ad revenue will be able to pay back the over-promised return that you've stated.

Otherwise, this is a ponzi because you'd be paying back the upgraded memberships not just with ad revenue, but also with the upgrade fees that newer members have paid.

Simple economics, folks, and no matter what superiorus says he wishes would happen, if many people start upgrading to the 1BTC package, I guarantee the site will shut down before all of those members have realized their investments into profits. Please don't be stupid with your BTC, folks! Don't ever invest more than you're willing to lose. But if I were you, I would not invest anything much more than time.

Sorry superiorus, but if you can't understand the basic economics of how your site is destined to fail, then you deserve what's coming when you drag your Hero account through the mud.

My claim rewards have dropped immensely today. Admin, where are you? Can you update us as to what's going on? Did the high payouts finally catch up to you? Please advise us as to what's going on; I have just deposited some BTC into my ad network, and was just about to push your site pretty heavily, but now I'm glad that I decided to check the btctalk forums before I did so.

Thanks, admin; I'll be testing out this faucet for the next few days before pumping some referrals. My first claim:



And I can confirm that it has been received on FaucetBox:

I actually find that most PTC sites that offer PayPal as a payment option encounter many issues as time progresses. Be weary when joining new PTC/GPT sites, and wait for payment verification from some reputable sources before investing so much time into them.

So quick question, then. Who gets the fees from a mining pool, if the pool is started by a member of the site? Do those fees go back to the website, or does the pool owner get (even a percentage of) those fees?

I actually really enjoyed this site when I first joined a couple days ago. Now, there are tweaks being done to the site that make it a bad user experience. After making a faucet claim, I average FIVE popups within 10 seconds... Listen, I can handle one pop up, cool... But 5 freaking popups?! This is a bad user experience, and I find myself visiting this site less and less every day. You can check my account statistics to confirm. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who started frequenting the site less because of those damn popups.
