If it is mistake, then why I get this type of masseage of suspended from three different hosting website ?
I want to clear that my faucet is running properly with the old script before I upload the new script.
When I see that new script is release, then without wsating any time, I upload it in my hosting account. After that I get suspended masseage from hosting.

It's possible that your computer is infected. There are viruses that modify scripts on your computer before you upload them.

How much do you earn in your faucet site? and how much do you spend money making your own site?

[nawaraj]

My earning is equal to the amount which my user take from my faucet. I have open the faucet because it give greate fun .
So that, I have make my faucet from free hosting & free domain.

Nice to see that the new list is released. Good job guys

Opening faucets in a new window should be a must.

Sorry, but really dont like it. I dont know how it will be in the future and how it will works but on first look very bad.

Sorry just my opinion.

Yikes! Not really a fan of the new list layout. Much more difficult to navigate in my opinion. The votes is a nice idea, but the block for each entry is hard to read versus having the rows.

Question, if selling a faucet that uses faucetbox, is it possible to transfer the account to another user? That way the new owner doesn't have to start over and wait to be re-added to the list.

No, it's not possible.

I don't think that this is that bad at all. I especially like the new votes system to block out bad faucets, but I believe it is missing some needed information. Perhaps when you roll over it could become something like this:

To give more information about the faucet to it's users. Also, this is needed too:

Oh, and it seems that your CSRF token is showing on the cookies warning. Should probably fix that; it looks a bit ugly right now.

Well, that one is tricky. We have no reliable source from which we could get that data and faucet owners notoriously lie about it and forget to update it. Also due to the way we count votes we can't show any meaningful numbers on the bars.

Thanks for the CSRF token and new tab suggestions, I forwarded them to frontend dev.

That's a good point. One way could be maybe tracking the outgoing transactions from the faucet and calculating an average or something, but that could prove difficult.

Also due to the way we count votes we can't show any meaningful numbers on the bars.

In this case, could I ask how the votes are counted? I can't image a voting system which would use no numbers.

That's what we did on the previous list, but with such low fees faucet owners could just send coins to themselves over and over again for pennies, artificially increasing the average. There were faucets where over 60% of payouts seemed like ones made just to boost the stats.

It does use numbers, but:

1. it's not realtime, for reasons I'd rather keep undisclosed, so showing numbers would confuse users. I can imagine support tickets with: "I voted down, but the number didn't change, did this faucet pay you for that? You're scammers!".
2. we use a few factors to calculate an arbitrary score that's used for sorting. The number itself really doesn't mean anything except that bigger is better. It'd give no real information to users.

However, if the faucet does not pay the average you would expect it would be downvoted and therefore sent to the end of the list. I'm unsure, but I do feel that there should be more information on each block. However, on the other hand if it would be arbitrary there would be little point showing it at all.

There are things we can try to show reliably like how long the faucet has been running without going dry or how old it is. We're still thinking about this, but we decided that it's better to release it as it is for now, as previous list was almost useless by now. Updates will follow

Updates will follow

I look forward to them, thank you for being so vocal and helpful towards faucet owners and users.

Maybe you can also display the median and lowest reward rather than just the average and the highest, and also the number of destination addresses.
The lowest reward is probably the most useful indicator for most users.

I have a small problem with the new list page:

Code:

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.

Script: https://static.faucetbox.com/js/general-0214fced31.min.js:2

I can click "stop script" and it seems to work well enough, though. (edit: well, the order of sitess is strange, and one site dropped after I upvoted it)

[BrannigansLaw]

why not have a list as before with the vote buttons. The idea is ok but the layout sucks!

[BrannigansLaw]

oh FFS this is really annoying.

"Our Faucet lives by advertising revenues.
It only takes 1 second to keep this faucet alive."

on the top faucet! oneadfaucet. This is going to get faucets banned from google adsense. Against googles TOS and I keep seeing time and time again. Just report it and hope it gets taken down quick. These guys know they're breaking the TOS, its common sense just report to google. Faucetbox should defiantly not be supporting such faucets. I know it now says " Please keep in mind that this list is not moderated by FaucetBOX.com Staff." but they should be doing basic research otherwise it will soon be filled with NSFW/scammy stuff.

This is why you have an option to vote now.

I get that too. It's too much information on one page and the CPU can't keep up. It's very resource intensive page...
