notice for ePay, FaucetHub, and other micro wallets -important for faucet owners

[donaldbitcoin]

Hello

This message is for ePay, Faucethub, and all micro wallets.

Today i did small test, i created account on my faucet and set wrong wallet address (i write "test" as wallet address).

i did ePay withdraw and i get message that satoshi sent to your wallet.

but how? my wallet is WRONG. and Nothing Paid actually.

i check my site API transactions and i find this :



I hope all micro wallets do tests on payments if they are paid correctly before they cut funds from us.
because members who set wrong wallet address are contacting us later to send payment again, then we will pay it more than once.

This is not legit from micro wallet service, to cut fees from us and then pay nothing.

I will review again all micro wallet services, ePay and Faucethub, if more problems like this happen again next week i'm going to leave it and create my own simple micro wallet, or send payments in groups as like freebitco.in

Sorry,

FaucetHUB checks addresses, if coin address is invalid, it returns error 412. Same is for FaucetSystem.

From what i know, "test" address is used for internal testing at epay.

They said all balance claimed with this address is returned to owners every week, however i got no proof for that.

Hi

If you enter  "test" system will treat it as a username and check for username.
If you enter "info@epay.info" system will treat it as a username and check for email.
and i believe for bit/doge/.. address it is clear.

If no username or email is found no account will be created and transaction will not continue
However if a valid coin address ( any valid currency address ) is entered and no address is found a new account will be created.

We have some faucet owner saying that their users can claim bitcoin with doge address. we are looking into this.

This will be changed on the next update to respect the faucets currency

About your problem it looks like transaction show does not show username or email based transaction, thank you for reporting we'll fix this.

This isn't possible on FH.

yes i agree, i don't see like this on FaucetHub but i say this notice in general, but sure not all micro-wallets 

for ePay i understand, and sorry for misunderstanding.

however, one day i got hacked on my site and hacker withdraw ~0.001 btc using ePay.
i clicked on cancel withdraw from my ePay panel, it sent pending request. i tracked it later and i find it paid to hacker.

it was not big payment, but i hope to set cancel transaction to be instant as we can decide if we want to pay or not.
i know some bad people may use this to cheat their users, so you can set limit for instant payment cancellation as like 3 instant cancel per week which is enough for real hack attempts.

Thanks for reading!
