Guys, please check your faucets and make sure you keep your passwords safe and you have MFA, ACL and Login notifications enabled. Also check your antibot measures.

Many people reported being hacked recently

EDIT: We're working on some basic anti-fraud measures that should prevent at least most obvious hacks, like withdrawing all balance in one send. I hope we'll be able to deliver them soon.

Hi, friend.

I checked this IP for suspicious activities in the internet (SPAM, BOTs and Malicious attacks) and then I did some tests to check if it is a proxy IP.

I didn't found anything about this IP. It seems to be a normal IP.

However, it is a Russian IP.

If I was you I would keep on open eye on my logs to monitor this IP actions...

Time to open scam accusation for op and leave some good negative remarks on his trust link.I know its not going to make much difference to him for he will most probably abandon this account but let not get him away empty handed

Don't use it....probably never paid any satoshi.

I think the past few months with the rise of the 1000+ satoshi faucets - all started perhaps by MotherFaucet - I personally think that it's a great time to use faucets. Bitcoin is still in the early stages, despite what the media or pessimistic miners think. To me, the miners are in Bitcoin for the short term return on their investment in mining equipment. Faucet users, on the other hand, have benefited from a huge increase in the number of faucets paying instantly to microcaches, as well as faucets offering direct payments.

We've seen the price of BTC hit $200 twice in the last year and it's hit $300 for the second time IIRC. $400 again?

If anything, I think faucet admins have helped to stablize Bitcoin. If you look at the traffic that faucet users receive, the vast majority is from Russia, Ukraine and countries from the 'Global South'. People who want to get into Bitcoin who can't afford arrays of miners, or even expensive GPUs (and GPU mining is pretty much obsolete anyway) and don't want to take up mining as a hobby have a pretty fair chance of getting a little bit of Bitcoin, as well as learning about Blockchain transactions.

Tips from The Faucet Runner:

1. Don't gamble all your satoshis. Or if you do gamble, only gamble what you can afford to lose. House always wins.
2. Don't be picky - support the little guys. Satoshi is free and nobody knows how much it's worth in the long run, so stick with it.
3. Support Bitcoin ads and faucets. Advertise your referral link and promote other faucets! Since starting out in Bitcoin I've earned around 3BTC in referral earnings purely from faucets.
4. Don't invest in cloud mining operations. If it sounds too good to be true, steer clear.

 

Please could you explain why you don't like my address 1Po9cWPPqfykFG1Zdrba7bkEcnkbq98BVD 89.106.108.217

Just yesterday you wanted me to include your faucet in our list?

I'm definitely not a bot, nor a scammer. http://bit.makejar.com/ has just turned 1 year, the addresses we use for ref are at the bottom of the page. We try to stay open and clear with both faucet users and faucet owners. If you don't like being on our website just send us a message and we will remove you from our list but please don't report us as scammers because WE ARE NOT!

Actually I'm currently working on a new anti-bot add-on. If someone want to try it shoot me a message. Demo: http://bit.makejar.com/labs/fbab/ I'm not going to share it in public because I don't want bot users to get the source but I would be happy to share for free with any faucet owner that is fine to be on our list.

Hi to all i just want to know what is the best way to  have more visitor to your faucet. Im just asking. im doing share on facebook but still low taffic. Guys can you suggest some ways..

Get your satoshis!

No, they earn a lot from clicks on ads and they still pay the same dust... what they earn from ad views is enough for what they pay to us (to be honest, as of now I only use freebitco, but I was a faucet user a few months ago).

I definitely click on those faucet who do not have complicated way to claim,and have only one or two ads.
