mixed views for the project...but It seems that it is a good project...Can we trust you(teky)?

Nice guys... what is the link for bounty participation?

I have reached limits and withdrawn on all Bitcoin x2/litecoin/doge and havnt been paid any since mid may... And members hacking and stealing coins haha. Your clearly either affiliated or stupid... And I don't think your stupid :-). The guy was trying to sell the faucets and when he couldn't manage that scam, he decided he'll pull on its users and rinse them on ad revenue for over month now... Funny that the owner was cherry picking who he was paying before all this 'people are stealing coins' nonsense. 'Paying twice a month' is a load of BS I clicked on several adds on each visit and I havn't been paid. Don't give this scammer any more ad revenue.

Ok, thats useful to know. What if you were to take a deposit that is held aside from each faucet that registers with you. And have a three strike rule and the deposit is taken. If they have something to lose then maybe they would think twice about changing things. This way you would get less scammy faucets with bad intentions wanting to sign up with you in the first place... I don't see why an owner would have a problem with this if they were legit. If they stopped their faucet at anytime, you could return the deposit thereafter...


Kind Regards,

Thanks for the very swift reply. I have taken on board your responses. It appears to me you are a person with true integrity and it seems from your responses that you really are doing all you can which i have a great deal of respect for. I understand the man power thing. I'll be happy to report such mis-happenings whenever I come across them. Maybe its down to users to help with this.

 That part about certain faucets changing things once they are approved... Do you ban them indefinitely? Because I think anyone who has such intentions shouldn't get a second chance. Maybe such balances they hold should be forfeited for breaking the rules while you at it. I understand it must be difficult to police. I Admire that you actually generally want great experience for the users though. Great Stuff

Where do i directly report things to?

Kind Regards,

As a faucet user I wanted to put up a post and hopefully I can get some clarification and some answers from both faucet users/owners and the admin of faucetbox. I am not a faucet owner and am in no way affiliated with any either.

There's a few things I have noticed when using various faucets over the last year or so. I have seen all kind of underhand tactics from faucet owners that I don't believe is good at all.


1) Hiding claim buttons/ having fake claim buttons or disguising them to trick users into clicking on adds.

i see this over and over again. Where is the logic in this? Less people will claim a prize but if it takes a user longer to find a claim button or they are tricked with false claim buttons, I for one will find the correct claim button click on it and not click any adds because of the time that has been wasted finding the claim button. I also will not continue to support the faucet. Its counter productive and sleazy to do this.

2) Using unfavourable time consuming captcha for the user.

As user I find it really frustrating when I have to wait 30 seconds for each faucet to complete captcha. This coupled with the really annoying 'are you human captcha where you have to put the basketball through the hoop or the tools in the toolbox. Its not the process of completing the captcha that is the problem for me, its how long it takes for it to register. I have had countless captcha thrown back at me saying 'incorrect captcha'. The only way to reduce this is to wait 20-30 seconds after I have completed captcha and it still fails 25% of the time here also. Again any faucet which wastes my time like this. I do not click adds. So YOU LOSE.

3) Faucets that do not indicate they are insufficient in funds.

Again very annoying to complete a captcha only to find insufficient funds, where is does not indicate when first visiting the faucet. Really annoying especially when you've had about 3 incorrect captcha's thrown back at you before hand when you have indeed entered it correctly. Obviously faucet owners do this so that they get free clicks and don't have to pay out claims.

When is it going to be understood that the more time you waste of the faucet users the more likely that less adds will be clicked and they probably won't support your faucet anymore in the process. Greed will get you nowhere in the long term, it just gives faucets a bad rep.

When I visit a faucet and everything is simply laid out I will click 3 maybe 4 adds because that faucet owner is honest and they deserve all that support. They will be able to pay higher payments to users and will be the preferred choice for users to visit. Win/win for the user/owner.

My recommendation to faucetbox owner... demonstrate a high standard and don't let any of these 'greedy and scammy faucets' on your payment system in the first place. Faucetbox will then be known for its integrity and users will trust that any faucet you have on your books are legitimate. Faucets that use any kind of misleading and underhand tactics to trick the user should be banned.

This faucet (which is a direct link, not a referral) pays high and makes things quick and easy for the user and in turn they pay well too. A great example to all other faucets out there.

Lets clean up the faucets so every wins in the longrun....

Kind Regards,

Tell me Mr Piggles, are you that much of a sad individual that you have to come in here with 'I told you so' and insulting everyone's intelligence in the process. Does that make you feel like a big man? like your something special. Your life must be incredibly busy I must say. Did you happen to be that kid that tortured the house cat when you were younger because it was smaller than you? Talk about preying on other peoples misfortune. I'd rather be a dumb ass any day than a horrible human being like your demonstrating here. If you were intelligent you wouldn't even come in here to begin with. You have nothing to gain apart from attempting to inflate your own ego. Prick.

Think you'll find it's just bad interruption. When he says 'Director' he is referring to 'Jason'.

One of the obvious things that I haven't heard mentioned here is to prepare for the worst. Make sure you have records of your account etc site could be pulled any moment for all we know. I only invested a BTC or so in this venture but I was severely stung on BT trader scam... $8000 gone. People sat around doing nothing thinking all positive and by time the people had the confirmation they needed, shit was being pulled form under our noses. Best to be safe than sorry. Also note down your downlines... Because this could be important if you cant track down the people behind this. If you have a real identity on this guy then you have something we didn't, Authorities should be able to do the rest... Best to take precautions.
 

I won 600 sat and when I went to claim I got the following message

There was an error running the query [Duplicate entry '3073195' for key 'PRIMARY']

my address is 15joqnPAU9XdisyHDZFWAb6tEWqy1LKt4W

Can I please have my prize?

They will likely learn never to go near crypto again. The fact that you admit you couldn't give a shit speaks volumes really doesn't it... No integrity. Feel free to tell the blind man to trust your friend to help him across the road and then take your cut from the wallet your friend robs from his back pocket. Your 'aiding and abetting'. These hyips you speak about are choking the bitcoin scene as we speak, so while bitcoin continues to get a bad public image, know that people like yourself and many others who do this are directly contributing towards its demise. I honestly don't expect you to give a shit. That's kinda my point... And the problem here...

Why is it that the majority of faucet owners are more than happy to promote blatant scams on their sites that could potentially rob people out of thousands? Is this how you intend on getting your money back from people who are making fractions of cents from you. Even the most reliable and reputable faucets do it. You are quite clearly facilitating crime. Its a complete conflict of interest to bring on new adopters who are new to bitcoin and pray on them like that. Bottom of the barrel tactics if you ask me. Why not just promote legitimate offers?

So because there's no law against you doing it and some havnt been proven scams yet and when they are you (in some cases) remove them off your sites and move on the next scammy ad like you were oblivious and had no idea of the previous. Or even worse some faucets will continue displaying the ads knowing full well that anyone who signs up will be royally shafted. If murder was not illegal would that make it OK to go out and murder people? How do you sleep at night? please I'm interested to know?

I appreciate your honesty on my feedback. That shows you are looking to make improvements. I know you are relatively new. I have a little suggestion that may help you with people clicking ads.... When I click on ads on your site it redirects me from the tab I'm on i.e your website so I can no longer access it. (backup doesn't even bring me back) It would help you out if when the add was clicked on, it would redirect onto another tab on my browser leaving the tab of your website still there on my browser... The reason why I say this is because many people like myself use 'land of bitcoin faucet rotator' when I click on your ads I then have to create a new tab and log back into land of bitcoin in order to carry on through the rotator.

The setup you have would significantly deter people to click on your ads for the reasons I have explained above. I believe if you tweak this you would have much better conversion of visitors to clicks on ads from the people who use your site. I would be able to click on 3+ adds every time I visit but as it stands I'm not going to do that If I have to load my page again 3 times in order to do that.

If you would like me to explain further please PM me. I'd be happy to help. I hope I have explained well enough for you though.

Kind Regards

This is fantastic news. I got mine too :-)

+1 what do you expect people to think when no communications are made and 90% of anything do to with crypto are scams. If microwallet would have came on here in the first instance people would have more than willing to help them through the issues and there would have been no damage caused.

I've been using this faucet from when it was launched and I have to say it's getting progressively worse as time goes on. Here are a few reasons for this.

a) Payouts are getting lower and lower. You started out giving out between 200 -500 satoshi with occasional 1000/2000/5000 wins. Now most spins are 55-80 satoshi. Not worth the time in my opinion.

b) currently when filling out captcha it says 'incorrect captcha' when I know for certain I am putting the right answers. It's happening every time today and when I try again it then works. Fishy if you ask me.

c) The lag on your website is unbearable at times. And with the spin and claim buttons disappearing randomly since launch of your website. This bug needs to be ironed out. You must have known about this for a long time now.

d) sometimes when you press the claim button it just refreshes back to having blank fields and i lose my chance to claim what I won.

You need to sort out these issues A.S.A.P. Most well to do faucets pay 500 satoshi on average. So unless you want to be put in the shit pile of faucets who noone bothers with you need to up what your paying your users.

I hope you take this feedback on board

Kind Regards

Did they actually communicate with you?

You make valid points. If microwallet was working how it should this method would indeed be superior. I suppose 'don't fix it if it isn't broken' comes to mind and I think we are all in agreement that microwallet service is fundamentally the best option providing its ran properly. I only hope the API gets purchased.

What are you basing these beliefs regarding microwallet on? They have time to manage multiple DOS attacks and change servers a number of times but not any time to respond to faucet owners with any communications or to make one round of payments to their users in the past 14days. I'm sure a lot of faucet owners have put a lot of time and effort into their sites and Microwallet shitting over those efforts as we speak. There's no excuse for it.

I would need to use them for a while to form a proper opinion. I'm from the UK so we don't have social security numbers here. (I just see it ask for telephone number for 2factor which is no different than encrypting your wallet to enter a password when sending out except that 2 factor is more secure IMO) also fees tend to be higher when transferring out of wallets which have had lots of micropayments sent to them. Xapo charges no sending fees from my knowledge. I would rather have my funds sent to me than have all my efforts stuck in one place that can then run off with the funds like it appears here. I appreciate we all have our own preferences here and each to their own and all that ;-) I am thinking more from an alternative service point of view really, with microwallet like it is, thats all we are left with for now.
