We don't accept faucets with porn. Faucet owners usually put them after we approve them. I've went through the reports today and removed few faucets with porn ads today. We have scripts that try to automatically detect and take down faucets with bad ads, but they're not perfect . Also we have hundreds of submissions, mostly spam/malware/popups/porn, so it takes us a long time to review faucets.


Yes.


And for people asking about withdrawing only some funds: just use the API and send them out just as you'd send out coins as reward.

What do you mean?

Either unstable hosting or too small hosting plan probably. Use something like pingdom.com (with keyword check) to monitor your sites.

Random short downtimes are usually the reason working faucets get rejected as broken.

Yup, I've tested and I confirm that's true. I'll fix it later.

EDIT:

I released new faucet script version. I hope it'll only fix bugs...

We're really slow at approving now. Too many new faucets, we don't really have time to go through the list regulary. However:

1. we earn next to nothing from the deposit fee, so that's not our loss actually... the deposit fee is only for covering network fees.
2. the approval is only needed to be listed on our Faucets list, nothing more. Faucet is fully working with or without it. So it kinda doesn't make sense to switch to xapo only because you didn't get approved... Xapo won't list you anywhere.
3. the "New" tag is based on the first approval date


"Hot" means that this faucet had many users in last 2 days. We give "Hot" tag to 5% (or 10%, I don't really remember now ) most popular faucets. We don't accept faucet just because someone asks. Usually someone asks, we go through the whole list and then we reply to everyone that their faucet got approval.

Change your captcha to reCaptcha. If payments drop, that was a bot probably. If not, then who knows, maybe you've just got popular among adblockers?

I didn't check that, but I believe that it rounds up the remaining time up to whole minutes. So if there're 5 minutes and 1 second left, it'll show that there're 6 minutes left.

Only if that's not an interstitial ad. But why would you want to do that then?

Did you read what I posted right above your message ?

We're processing payments right now, sorry for the delay.


What do you mean exactly? Are you asking about page for users to check their address stats or the owner's dashboard?


It was discussed already, we won't implement Paycoin anytime in near future.


What about https://scanthebox.com?

FaucetBOX will be down for maintenance today.

Minimum deposit is based on currency fee, not on it's value.


Don't you think we did that on purpose ? No point in asking us to enable it, it wouldn't speed up anything. However it's enabled now.

Possibly broken means no payouts in last 6 hours. We use that to automatically find broken faucets and take it down from the list. You don't need an approval for your faucet to work. Please mind that our Faucets list can't be your main source of traffic. You have to advertise it yourself too or you won't last too long...


Be patient, we have other things to do like making sure the FaucetBOX.com API works good . It can take up to a week. And the same thing I've told yvesp110: Faucets list can't be your main source of traffic. It's only a nice addition, but won't be nearly enough.

YaBrowser, MRCHROME, Maxthon, Iron, Ya and Nichrome most likely aren't bots.
PhantomJS is some kind of a bot, but not necessarily a faucet bot, rather some kind of a crawler.

I confirm that we're experiencing random locks in database and we still haven't found the cause. However we're working on that and I expect to have it fixed by the end of next week.


Well, there are some things that we could do, but to be honest there's no way to prevent faucet bots entirely, so it's all about making it as hard as possible. We'll research on that more when we deal with some more important issues, like preventing random people from changing the threshold and performance issues

Check your email.

I believe it depends on the captcha . Allegedly there are bots for SolveMedia and Are you a Human captchas, so that plus broken timer means that cheating can be fully automated and that would be quite profitable.

I must say that I didn't really check thoroughly, but I see that it's possible to bypass CloudFlare and connect to your server directly and it responds with your faucet. That possibly means that one can simply connect directly to your server, spoof the CF-Connecting-IP header and bypass your timer without using any proxies. Unless you're checking whether the real socket-level connecting ip address (aka REMOTE_ADDR in PHP) matches CloudFlare and only use CF-Connecting-IP then. I recommend you double-checking that

Don't use CloudFlare for a faucet if you don't know what you're doing. You'll end up either with a timer shared between many users or users bypassing your timer entirely.
