Who knows the problem? Can't login to admin panel. The error is: Notice: Banned: SOME_IP_HERE

Is the IP yours? You may have been put on the NastyHosts blacklist

Yes, its mine. I think so too. I managed to solve this problem by disabling Nastyhosts through database. But its not a solution. Why my IP is in blacklist?  

What IP do you see there exactly? I will check why it's banned. Unfortunately false-positives may happen, that's why Nastyhosts is disabled by default.

92.112.233.199

NastyHosts doesn't block this address: http://v1.nastyhosts.com/92.112.233.199 (suggestion: allow).
Do you have anything in "List of hostnames to ban" in your admin panel? Disabling NastyHosts also disables checking hostnames, so maybe you've blocked yourself through that.

Yes I have the list posted by BitcoinFX earlier in this discussion here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1094930.msg13125867#msg13125867
But actually the problem resolved for now. I can login admin panel and Nastyhosts is enabled. Hope everything will be ok

Remove ukrtel.net from that list.
If I got it right your hostname is pool.ukrtel.net and partial match is enough to block you so removing that should fix it.

There is no ukrtel in this list and you're right its my hostname. Anyway thanks )

Yes there is:

Old style was better than current style.we was seeing which faucet pays the highest amount

[BitBustah]

Guys, I'm stuck with a real dilemma.

I started my own faucet to earn some money. My goal is to own/earn 1 BTC. A few days ago I wondered: How many of my users are honest actual users, how many of them are scammers?

Can you, as a faucet owner, answer that question? Do you have the slightest idea?


The FaucetBOX script is a good and decent script, but it is lacking some features:
- Transparency (actual claims, blocked claims, ...)
- Extra security measurements


This is where my dilemma comes in. A part of me wants to share my countermeasures and my addon scripts/modifications. For a little price that is; I still aim for my 1 BTC.

On the other hand: If I do so, I risk exposing my own security measurements on my site, rendering all my efforts useless in the long run.


Any thoughts? Keep it clean and decent please, I am aiming for a positive conversation here. Thanks.

Hello normally  <1 or 2 % maybe bots  if your wallet going empty again and again too fast and your visitors are less then maybe bot or proxy

Hello normally  <1 or 2 % maybe bots  if your wallet going empty again and again too fast and your visitors are less then maybe bot or proxy

I am talking about honest users vs users who use proxies/vpns.

I have a small faucet. Today I have 6 normal claims, 150 proxies/vpns. That's less than 5% of actual users. When I check their wallet addresses I see so many faucets being "abused".

Try to claim on my faucet using proxy I blocked proxy claiming Sato shi but they can access my site .

now proxy will not get reward but if they visit site then overall Alexa rank will be good and free impressions for ads.

so blocking proxy from accessing whole website is not good idea better block them claiming free satoshi.

I'm not sure but you can change it in the template code.
It's in the directory /templates/.

[minifrij]

Find this line of code in your template file:
<?php break; case "paid":
And edit under that.

I tried to add my ad code there but after that I couldn't access to my faucet at all, error 500.

Do the following in Code

Code:

<?php break; case "paid":
                        echo $data["paid"] . "<div>Insert Your Code here</div>";

Server 500 error is due to your double quotes problem I think

 if you have double quotes in your HTML you must use single quote like

Code:

<?php break; case "paid":
                        echo $data["paid"] . '<div>Insert Your Code here</div>';

if not you have to escape double qoutes like with

Code:

  type=\"text\" 

I hope this may help you on payout page Under Alert Success

[Holdaaja]

I got it working with this guide.

Greetings, in /libs/faucetbox.php where it says ads you can insert ads, only supports html not php

Code:

public function send($to, $amount, $referral = "false") {
        $r = $this->__exec("send", array("to" => $to, "amount" => $amount, "referral" => $referral));
        if (is_array($r) && array_key_exists("status", $r) && $r["status"] == 200) {
            return array(
                'success' => true,
                'message' => 'Payment sent to you using FaucetBOX.com',
                'html' => '
--------->ADS
<div class="alert alert-success">' . htmlspecialchars($amount) . ' satoshi was sent to you <a target="_blank" href="https://faucetbox.com/check/' . rawurlencode($to) . '">on FaucetBOX.com</a>.</div>
--------->ADS
',
                'html_coin' => '<div class="alert alert-success">' . htmlspecialchars(rtrim(rtrim(sprintf("%.8f", $amount/100000000), '0'), '.')) . ' '.$this->currency.' was sent to you <a target="_blank" href="https://faucetbox.com/check/' . rawurlencode($to) . '">on FaucetBOX.com</a>.</div>',
                'balance' => $r["balance"],
                'balance_bitcoin' => $r["balance_bitcoin"],
                'response' => json_encode($r)
            );
        }

I can do custom themes if you want, just need a similar in design address that you are looking for.

I dont charge much either.

it is good easy method. I just quoted simple basic method for your 500 error

How can you create a payout threshold? Perhaps that will stop some abuse.

How can you create a payout threshold? Perhaps that will stop some abuse.

That can reduce your loyal visitors but you can do it in your faucetbox.com account. Bots don't know threshold and will ignore it but they will still visit and get it next time they come across

best way to reduce the abuse is to block proxies and vps

[minifrij]

How can you create a payout threshold? Perhaps that will stop some abuse.

You can edit the database to include an extra column of 'balance' for each user. Then rather than send the user an amount over FaucetBox, have it add the value onto the value already in the 'balance' column and create a button to withdraw which would get the amount from the 'balance' column and send it through FaucetBox. Keep in mind that if there are any insecure SQL queries run on your website a malicious user could edit their balance to clear your account, and also that faucets which implement balance are not allowed on the FaucetBox list (AFAIK). I also don't think it would particularly help.

[BrannigansLaw]

ok thank you, not really worth the hastle it sounds. Also just wondering, how quickly do you guys go through 0.1btc?

[misterbit]

When I started with my faucet earned more money, as I have been blocking IPS for VPS etc. my earnings have dropped significantly, sincerely believe that those who generate profits are these.

A common mistake I see is putting many millions of satoshis on the Web.
