Yes, very true.
Ads must be clicked by choice, because people want to.
Never ever should they be forced to click them, or tricked into clicking them.

Always reports those shady sites to adsense and those site ownser will be done real quick 

LS.

Yes i do.

Let's assume i use a vpn, with an address from amsterdam.
The site owner "sees" the ip from amsterdam, and ads are displayed accordingly.

A click on a ad from a european IP presents more revenue, then a click from an IP from peru. (for example)
So when someone visits the site "from amsterdam" the site owner get's more revenue, and then can also give higher faucet rewards.

Just try it.

LS.

Hi all.

Maybe those links placed tooooo close to ads is sort of shady.
But: when you close all ads, then you can't accidentally click on an ad anymore.

So then you press ctrl+a and you can clearly see the links to click on.
Then you go: click click click click click click
and you're done.

Mind you: 90% of the time those links aren't required to click on.
It's just a trick for getting more clicks. So you perform this trick is you must click
those pesky "are you human" links.

Same for fake timers: people focus on them, but all you need to do is enter wallet address,
complete captcha, and press the submit button. 90% of the time, those timers are fake.

Specifically the part about firebug

LS.

I would like to ad to this that:

using a european ip address will give faucets owners more revenue from their adds,
and also ups the rewards from the faucets accordingly.

Obviously, it's not just european ip addresses. North america, canada, etc. will work just fine.
So using a vpn in a legit, ethical way is a win win situation.

LS.

Many thanks for the ajax code.

This is seriously bad.

They can modify all the legit user requests from the forms they fill in @ the faucet server.
They can also store anything ofcourse. Thank all gods that they don't ask for passwords on faucet sites.

Imagine the possibilities of this add-on implemented for other sites, which i shall not name.

 

LS.

EDIT:
Correction:

it said on other sites, it should be for other sites.

@maokoto:

Well,

that depends.

In legit cases, with people that have some proper ethics,
with a vpn address from europe, revenue from ads are higher, as are the rewards from faucets.
So both parties benefit from this. That's just fine.

BUT:
If you have a malicous crew of 250 people from a third world country, all with different wallets,
using vpn and referring each other they can rape your faucet dry within hours, even minutes?

About using vpn for privacy, that's a legit reason. Like using TOR for example,
when someone in china wants to inform the media of something, and not get put in jail for 50.000 year.

So it's a fine balance you need to keep in check.

Not that easy.

For starters, i'd block all TOR traffic. Nobody will use TOR for claiming faucets.
For as far as i know.

Maybe someone can add more info about this?
It's a complicated problem for all faucet owners IMHO.

For example: i can make 50 wallets. Then abuse vpn servers to keep claiming from your faucet.
That's hard to battle.


@misterbit:

Not privacy for satoshi, higher revenue from ads for faucet owners, which results in higher faucet claims.

About htaccess code: You're probably right. I am not sure, i can look this up real easy.
But it is something like that, with or without wildcard which reduces the list a lot.

LS.

I see.

You can't indeed publish anything and everything on chrome-store.

It still sounds kind of shady to me.
It doesn't need to be malware, to perform nasty / shady tricks.

The source code will tell us in detail, the developer probably won't 

LS.

Hi.

Nice list you've got there.

May i advice to use regex patterns, and / or wildcards?
This will make the list much much smaller, which also presents much less server load?
It also keeps the code more clean and readable.

I believe, in all honesty (i have to look into that  )
you can for example change this:

deny from 216.158.192.54
deny from 216.158.192.97

into this:

deny from 216.158.192.*

Or something like that. My apache tricks and htaccess code like modRewrite is getting rusty.
Must be the age 

Yet, i can figure that out if you want me to.

Regards,

LS.

Maybe this is off topic, or completely irrelevent. If so, i am sorry.
Maybe i am missing something here?

But: i hate malicous apps / people / etc.

Why not submit the addon to virustotal.com just to get an impression of what lots anti-virus programs find?
It will pass through 50+ anti-virus programs. It just might give some indication of how legit this is.

If it passed as legit, we should demand the source code for review.
Any legit coder / programmer will have no problems with that?

If we can't get the code for review, than that raises red flags, like zillions.

LS.

List update:

Removed:

• Shady ones.
• Duplicate ones.
• Faucets that pay less then 1000 satoshi.
• Faucets that are dry.

Added a few new ones.

http://highpayfaucets.r4u.nl

Enjoy  

LS.

hm ok.

The exhausted ones will get removed.
For "hidden" claim buttons, evading timers and evading "are you human" links, read this post:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1221083.0

LS.

EDIT:

When one must click the "are you human links" then:

1: close the ads
2: Press ctrl + a
And voila.

Click Click Click Click Click.

Done.

Consider it added!

I will upload the updated list within a few hours.

LS.

Added more faucetbox faucets.
Added more xapo faucets.

LS.

Bump 

I feel the need to ad a few facts.
Someone using this method for going through faucet lists, should keep in mind that:

Clicking a few ads every once in a while helps the faucet owners keeping their faucets alive.
Allowing popups to load before closing them, helps the faucet owners keeping the faucets alive.

So if we do that, we help the faucet owners with some revenue, because they can't keep faucets alive with no income.
In return we get some free satoshi's from their faucets. Which we all want. Yes?

Lastly: using the method i described in the first post, you can click any and all ads, allow any and all popups.

When you're done going through the faucet list(s), you just reboot and you have a crispy clean system again.
So there is no danger of infections of any kind at all.

Please think about this.
We need to help the faucet owners, in order for them to help us.

LS.

You're very welcome.
Hopefully it will help others too.

LS.

Yes indeed, occasionally that will be the case when using low quality vpn servers.
The vpn servers we use are legit ip addresses which can't be differentiated from regular ip addresses.

They are not proxy's and can't be detected with php / cUrl.
They might be blacklisted, but then you change the vpn server address or with cyberghost, reconnect to get a new ip / identity.

Just try it?

LS.

Hi forum.

I wrote a how-to, about setting up a vpn connection and connect via euro-servers and claim the highest amount of satoshi possible.

Read it there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1223053.0


LS.

Nice job.
Much info there about statusses, i can only assume you spend much time on that.

Hi forum.

Appearantly, visitors from different countries get different faucet rewards.
There is ofcourse a way to evade that disadvantage. The answer is VPN!

First, we / i often use vpn for ransacking faucet lists. They've never blocked us.
So it should work for anyone. Let me explain how to set this up:

For windows:

Download cyberghost free vpn there: cyberghostvpn.com
Choose the free version / download.

Install it. When it's done, a popup message shows up for installing a TAP-device.
You install that too, it's mandatory and then you're done.

Next you fire up cyberghost. Choose a custom country from the free server list, of which there are plenty.
I advice you to choose a server from europe, appearantly in europe we get the highest faucet rewards.

As the cyberghost version we use is the free version, you get one popup asking you to buy the payed version, just click it away.
Then, you get a timer to wait for a free slot. Shouldn't take more then a minute before it starts to connect to the server you've chosen.

You can visually see from where, to where the connection is made as it is being displayed in a graphical world map.
When it's active / connected, you'll get a notification at the right bottom corner that it's active.

Now start ransacking faucets!

If you don't believe it works, google -> whats my ip


For linux:

It is a bit more difficult, but once you've done it, it's a piece of cake.

The steps are:

Create a ten / twenty minute mail address of your choosing:

10minutemail.com
10minutemail.net
my10minutemail.com
20minutemail.com

There are plenty of those.

Next, go there: goldenfrog.com/vyprvpn
to register for a free vpn account and click "try it free".

Then choose:
Free Limited Plan -> create account.

Here, you enter the email address from your ten / twenty minute mail address and choose a password of your liking.
Press the "create free account" button.

!IMPORTANT:
Copy -> paste the ten / twenty minute email address into a text file and type the password in there aswell!
This is really important. They're required to make the vyprVPN connection.

Next,
Check your ten / twenty minute mail address. There should be a confirmation email from goldenfrog.
Read it and copy -> paste the confirmation link into your browser address bar and press enter.
Now your vyprVPN account is active.

Next, download the goldenfrog vyprVPN certificate:
open up a console and enter this command:

sudo wget -O /etc/openvpn/ca.vyprvpn.com.crt https://www.goldenfrog.com/downloads/ca.vyprvpn.com.crt
press enter.

After downloading, which takes only seconds, go to the network manager.
Add a new connection and choose: openVPN
You can give it any name you want.

1: change the connection type to "password"

2: Locate the CA File: /etc/openvpn/ca.vyprvpn.com.crt

3: Username: the ten / twenty minute email address

4: password: the password you chose when you signed up at vyprVPN

5: Click advanced tab, check "LZO compression"

press ok once.

6: Lastly, put in a server address in the gateway textfield.

You can find the server list there: support.goldenfrog.com/hc/en-us/articles/203733723-What-are-the-VyprVPN-server-addresses-

!IMPORTANT:
Choose a server located in europe. Copy -> paste that server address into the gateway textfield.
Press ok.

Now you're done. The vpn connection has been setup / created.

Next,
connect with your default access point. (or hardwired internet cable.)
You'll get a popup message saying it is activated.

Then connect with the VPN connection.
You'll get a popup message saying it is activated. There should be a network icon with a lock.

That's it. Now you're "browsing from europe".
Start ransacking those faucets!

NOTE: free vyprVPN accounts have a limit of 500mb data traffic.
If you exceed this, you get a "connection failed" message when you connect to the vpn connection.

But that's just fine. We can't be beaten.
You then just repeat the steps:

1: Create a temporary mail.
2: Register at goldenfrog.com/vyprvpn for a free account. (Again, put the temporary email address + password in a text file.)

Edit the vyprVPN connection via the network manager.
Change username with new temporary email address, and optionally a new password, if you've chosen to use a new password.
Optionally, choose another vyprVPN server from the list.
Press ok.

Connect with the vpn connection.
Again a popup should show the vpn connection is activated with a network icon with a lock.

Pretty easy huh?

Anyone that needs help with this, as different linux distro's have different network managers,
reply here, or send me a PM.

Maybe this post i created can help you a lot aswell: bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1221083.0
I wrote it to evade timers, "click if you're human" links and any and all other internet threats.

Questions? Remarks? Complaints? Even compliments are welcome.


With regards,

LS.

You're welcome.

Right now, i am going to write a how-to for setting up VPN on windows and linux, which for me
never ever get's detected by faucet owners. So i guess it should work for everyone.

Keep checking the forum. I'll post it later today or else tomorrow.

Regards,

LS.
