Yup, apparently the complete refunding of all faucets yesterday was a short lived one.
BTX never got any and almost all others were dry again within a couple of hours.
Potcoin, Blackcoin and Peercoin still have funds, but that's because those have a very low max withdrawal.

Still, thanks to the exchange I managed withdrawing everything I had yesterday, and thanks to the exchange on FH I managed to get everything converted to BTC.
So as long as there's frequent refunding, as it has been the last weeks, I'm not complaining about the time in between.

It appears, the instant faucets are turning into scams.
Once in a while they appear in forums or on Twitter to promote themselves, but any support request remains unanswered.

That wasn't such a big deal, while they at least reliably paid out, but now even that seems to go down the drain.
Where Instant-ETH has NEVER paid anything to anyone, the other 3 (Doge, BTC and LTC) used to pay out within minutes after reaching payout level, up to 2 weeks ago.
By now it takes them longer and longer and I assume we can wait for the day where they don't pay at all anymore.

Right now (at the time of this post) Instant-Doge has a 4 day backlog with over 35,000 Doge waiting to be paid.

Well, then I donno what you're talking about.
I made my weekly withdrawal request yesterday, roughly 30 hours before right now (because I hadn't even noticed they have moved payday to saturday) and I received my BTC in my wallet 5 mins ago.

It's easter, loads of people online, some ads are so heavily overloaded that they lag big time and the coinpot.win site keeps waiting for every single ad to load before it loads the actual page, that's what makes things slow.
I've reported this a few days ago when mellowads was entirely down and the coinpot.win site didn't load at all and as far as I've been told, they will try to do something about it, but given how busy these guys are and how slow everything else is progressing, I wouldn't hold my breath on it.

I will admit, I'm somewhat new to all this, so these are still all mysteries to me.
But then, as long as my "investment" remains so small, hardly worth mentioning, it's kinda fun seeing how these things work.

Too bad I don't have an account at Bit-Z, looks like one could make some quick money by buying there right now.

What happened just now, like an hour ago or so?
40% price drop and nothing in the news?

Why does NoCoin not detect it and if so, then how can one block it?

Meanwhile I checked with FF and IE and I can tell, in FF the problem is only half as big (CPU load only 25%) and in IE there seems to be no problem at all.

Well, I have a bug to report and I'm not sure how to describe it.
Whenever I open the website of coinpot.win, my CPU load spikes to 50% (which is 2 out of 4 cores of my I7 at 100%)
I've clearly identified it's the site of coinpot.win, because I can open like 30 other faucets in 30 tabs in one browser window, where CPU load remains < 5% for all together, but as soon as I open coinpot.win, CPU load goes to 50% and as soon as I close coinpot.win, CPU load goes back down next to zero.

I do have NoCoin installed, so I believe it isn't a hidden miner, but most likely a piece of badly coded javascript, but of course I cannot tell, whether it's in the site or in one of the ads.
Anyway, from my search on the web I found out, there's nothing I can do, other than contacting the site in question and ask them to fix the problem, which I'm hereby doing.

Considered the fact a permanent 50 watts extra power consumption BY FAR exceeds the value of faucet claims one can make on this site while (as long as I'm right and it is no hidden miner) NOBODY benefits, I'd says this is a serious bug that requires fixing.

Edit: With Chrome that is, not sure about other browsers.

Wow, that's new.
I must admit, I had not checked this week.
Up to my last withdrawal 2 weeks ago they processed on sudays.
Anyway, with the slow speed of the BTC blockchain, that becomes sunday anyway before it arrives in your wallet.

Bitcoin pays every sunday.
You must have put that withdrawal in just after last weeks execution.
But no worries, they'll pay today.

This is why I put in BTC withdrawals only on saturdays.

Meanwhile they paid it, been almost 96 hours, I found it curious anyway.

What shall I make out of this?

I've seen that happen once in a while, mostly it's a bug coming from a rounding error or something like that.
Most times you can fix it by altering the amount to convert, meaning converting 1 Satoshi less than you have might do the trick already.
Sometimes you get to it by converting to something else first, like BTC => BCH => Doge.

If that still doesn't work I wouldn't take the risk either, if nothing else wait until the next day and try again.

Ouch ....... well, thanks for the info anyway.

Could anyone give me an idea how long a buy order might take?
I've made a buy order for 0.5 BTX over 3 days ago and there is not the slightest indication of progress.
I do understand, if there are no sellers, or less sellers than buyers it may take a while, but I'd really appreciate an indication, how long an average time for this could be.

Let me make a 2 way comment on that.

First I want to confirm, this faucet does pay, I've gotten almost daily payouts for almost all the currencies the different faucets pay for several months now.
But then I can also confirm it runs out of funds in many if not all currencies so frequently that it unavoidably raises suspicions of halfway new users.

Once in a while I get blocked for having too many wrong captchas, but in my case that has always been just an hour at a time, which is a bit annoying, but nothing else, so this point I won't even comment on.

So on the one hand I can tell this faucet is legit, but I would strongly suggest you increase the supply of coins you keep in stock.
After all you do pay and you do want to continue to pay, therefore there is no point in keeping supplies short, just to bother your users.
You don't save a single penny by paying later, but you frequently lose users from all the bad postings in here that are (aside of users who get blocked for too many wrong captchas) mostly related to users having to wait for days before a given coin is refilled, therefore it's in your own interest to keep a sufficient supply of all the coins.
I mean you payout such an amount of coins, that you should be aware of the average of each coin you need per day and there really shouldn't be any kind of problem filling all faucets with a supply that is in all coins always a week or so ahead of withdrawal requests and if you really have problems finding a specific coin, then you still shouldn't have a problem if you simply supply that coin a month or so ahead of withdrawals.

If the exchange at Faucethub doesn't bring you enough coins of a given type, like BCH, then you would do yourself a favour if you bought these elsewhere and deposit them to FH, simply because happy users don't run away and the more users you have, the more income your ads generate for you.

Population doesn't matter either, it's how much users spend on average per person.
Germans are world champions in saving, they take whatever they can get, but they don't spend it, at least not online.

It's not that either.
It's all about purchasing power of users, their will to click an ad and their capacity of actually spending money on whatever the ads offer.

From Italy I can ping the site just fine, even very fast 12ms response time, but in the browser it still says not reachable.
I tried with my main system and win10, with a VM and win7, with my providers DNS and with Google DNS.

Everything else is working fine, just this one website isn't.

Update: The hint about "avast antivirus says their website is mailware infested" is the answer.
Not sure how, but Avast quietly blocked me from accessing the site.
Also not sure how to tell Avast to lift the block, except disabling Avast all together.

Is it just me or does anyone else have the same problem?
All the faucets paying to Coinpot work just fine, Bonusbitcoin even displays my balance correctly, but the website of coinpot.co appears to be down, all I get is "website not reachable".
Has been like that for several hours, longer than ever before.
