Suffered another bot attack today, so goes the sagas of the Faucet Runner Keeping on top of things just about but the sites will need to adjust things slightly if botting continues to the extent it does. Banned hundreds of addresses today, probably lost around 10,000,000 sats. Not the biggest hack but seems to be going to one user. Would love to give out that 10,000,000 to some legit users, but it's gone

Is it normal that I have to verifies my e-mail every few days for cash out?
For the time being! I am working on having this happen weekly, it's an effort to reduce botting. Some users have reported losses of satoshi upon withdrawal, it's an issue I will certainly be looking into - and feel it's linked to the email verification in some way. This was an old feature on sites like 777Bitcoin, IntellectCoin, BitcoStars etc, but seems redundant now I know. However I plan to scale up the faucets in the coming months and as such need to ensure my users are real and not bots - I've lost around 1BTC to bots since starting, which is a fairly big dent to take. I hope to get the faucets to the 1000 satoshi mark by Christmas. It does mean that users are free to 'store up' their satoshi if they choose - quite a few users have chosen to do this, and means the cashout is less of an issue. However for the users experiencing the withdraw bug, it's quite distressing to see your satoshi lost. / ATT: FOR ALL USERS WHO HAVE LOST SATOSHI PLEASE FILL OUT THE ATTACHED GOOGLE FORM! https://goo.gl/forms/7ghrXGmrjJForm filled. Just a question: are you making any profits with faucets? Best regards.

Just a question: are you making any profits with faucets?
Best regards.
I cover costs and they are just about profitable without botting. Most faucet owners don't really understand how to properly balance their income with their outgoings. I constantly tweak the faucets to make sure I'm squeezing out as much extra BTC as I can. The referral earnings from the faucet list and blog covers around 30% of my daily outgoings. I actively refer faucets and review them to keep my referral tree strong. I will be writing an article and disclose as much a I can without violating any of my ToS. I rely way more on Bitcoin income than I do income from fiat-based ad networks. MellowAds/Bee-Ads/Adbit + my referral earnings just about covers things.

Thank You for detailed answer. As soon as I'll make more BTCs from your network than Moon's one I will switch my affiliate to yours. Thank you for quick reply. Best regards.

Thanks for your response. I have issued several refunds and may make an exception in this case, but I can't keep offering refunds what for a bug that I can't actually do anything about at present. I have responded to most of the Tweets I've seen as well as emails. The issue I have is I can't issue refunds until the bug is solved. My developer is currently busy with work and I haven't been able to address it. Email verification has been disabled for the moment. I have 200+ complains which means around 0.1-1% of my users - which while small, is significant. I think you'd rather hear that the bug is solved than hear you are getting a refund, surely? Any refunds I offer come with the understanding that you use the faucets at your own risk! Saving satoshi is an option, but certainly not recommended. I recommend regular, small cashouts.

Still best faucet network around: always on-line, easy to claim, lots of withdraw options.

Issues with the host, recent bot attacks meant they're not keen to renew the hosting. Working on a resolution now Other three sites still live, I'm worried I've lost data though

I have spoken to the hosting (it's hard to contact them as I am using a friends' hosting account, and he's currently on holiday) and they said the site should be online again soon. I will look into transferring the hosting. I'm hoping the issue is now solved for the meantime. Please cashout while you can.

The wallet is full? Try a Direct payment, it shouldn't be the case. I deposited 0.2 this morning, there should be plenty of BTC.
