FaucetBOX.com Discussion

[bitcoinerN]

Hello everyone
I got some troubles with adding Google adsense code to faucetbox script, placing banner between captcha and "get reward" button. I tried to paste it between code of captcha and button in index.php of default theme, its not showing, but got some empty place between them. Also tried associate adsense code with variable and echo it, but dont works too. What am I doing wrong, guys?  

You can try this way

Code:

<div>Your ads code here</div>

A once and for all solution would be to set your fee rate dynamically using "estimatefee" command.

We do use the estimatefee. However we use confirm target of 20 blocks and it doesn't always work correctly with such a high target. I see that today's transactions are getting confirmed correctly though.

I'm trying to protect somehow my faucets against bots .. unfortunately poorly it goes.

Changing captcha system every week can be good enough? Any other advice?

Do FaucetBox have plans to introduce some additional security?

There's nothing you could do that I'm aware of. Captcha + timer is pretty much the only way.

Did not help, maybe there are other ways?

It could be something to do with the language set in your MySQL database. I'll wait for Kazuldur before suggesting anything else though, he probably has a better idea than I do.

Thanks, I will wait for new ideas. I wrote to support, got no response, but I hope they will answer.

Did you try reentering everything after doing what minifrij suggested?

Here's a payout transaction from FaucetBox that didn't get confirmed by Blockchain.info
(error: Transaction rejected by our node. Reason: The Maximum number of outputs in a single transaction is 200)

I still have hope for a bigger payments history list

I didn't know you were using dynamic fee. Thanks for your clarification. I noticed that as well, which is quite weird tbh, as the fee rate of today's transactions is more or less the same as yesterday at 0.000044 btc per KB.

Thanks for answer Kazuldur

Just in your opinion - do you think that changing captcha system (every 1-2 weeks) can hinder bots activity?

How's about a shield against TOR visitors?

I have a cron job, that create me every 30 minutes a conf with all ip-addresses from Tor-servers

you need in your viruelhost following entry
<Directory /var/www/bigcoin>
   # Include tor ip
   Include /etc/apache2/tor-ip.conf
</Directory>

your conf will create by following sh-command
wget -q https://www.dan.me.uk/torlist/ -O - | sed "s/^/Require not ip /g; 1i\<RequireAll\>\nRequire all granted" | sed '$a\<\/RequireAll\>' > /etc/apache2/tor-ip.conf; /usr/sbin/apachectl graceful

All tor-user will rejected

How do you do that on a shared hosting plan if you want to use it?

How do you do that on a shared hosting plan if you want to use it?

A rough way to do it with PHP would be this:

Code:

$userIP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$proxyIP = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
$torIP = file('https://www.dan.me.uk/torlist/');

if(in_array($userIP, $torIP) || in_array($proxyIP, $torIP)){
     die('You appear to be accessing the site through TOR. Please go through the clearweb to access this site.');
}

The problem comes with getting the user's IP, as there are a few problems using REMOTE_ADDR (detailed here (May be outdated by now)) and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR is a HTTP header and can be changed by the user. Obviously the code should be fine-tuned before main use, but it should catch out a few TOR users at least.

Thanks for this. It may come handy in some situations. Looks like I can make a personal list too.

Looks like routing problems at our datacenter. Too early to say for sure.

No idea.

[Kazuldur]

I've worked around the problem so it should work for now, but it can stop working again for a couple minutes later today.

we have "unknow problem" message after faucet claim.

Other faucets seem to work correctly. Can you upload this to your server and send me a link to it: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=JzMjX3AX ? It will tell something more I hope.
