FaucetBOX.com Discussion

[minifrij]

Is someone on this forum know 100% contact info with faucetbox.com team? May be they even don't know that such problem(can't login, etc) exist?

I've sent them an email through their support system telling them to check the thread, not sure when they will read/come back to me on it though. I must say, as a long time supporter of FaucetBox, I'm somewhat disappointed in their service here. I suppose it has only been a day, though Kazuldur has been usually fairly quick to at least reply to things like this when they happen.

Problem is fixed now. It was due to a weird filesystem problem that broken session management. To sum it up:

1. the fastest way to report such problems is through this forum.
2. however, it's usually not necessary to report them. We have watchdogs that informed us about it and they worked good today.
3. deposits, withdrawals, checking addresses and API worked good (so faucets weren't affected by this directly). FaucetBOX.com Dashboard, changing threshold on /check pages and voting on faucets did not.
4. temari - your problems with your faucet aren't related to this and they probably won't go away. Set $display_errors = true; to see what's wrong.

So pretty much the only thing that was affected was managing your faucets promotion, checking stats and checking deposit address.

I'm sorry for the long response time.

EDIT: I need to do some cleanup, FaucetBOX.com will be down for approx. 5 minutes.
EDIT2: Done, FaucetBOX.com should be stable now.

take a look at this

I couldnt login to confirm my deposit address and so my balance wont empty, im pretty sure that i got delested from most if not all rotators, also, why not credit deposits after 1 confirmation?

Most likely not since many other faucets ran empty too and it wasn't faucet owners fault.

Hi and ty for the info! now i know this: "Post request, but invalid address input name. in /homepages/21d604136188/htdocs/htdocs/index.php on line 2068"

On dat line there isnt any code.. the following written code is:
 $data = array(
            "paid" => false,
            "disable_admin_panel" => $disable_admin_panel,
            "address" => "",
            "captcha_valid" => !array_key_exists('address', $_POST),
            "captcha" => false,
            "enabled" => false,
            "error" => false,
            "reflink" => $protocol.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].strtok($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '?').'?r='
        );

I hope u can tell me more about this, because im totally lost here, i see that someone claim once but, since then, i keep having this error code.

[EDIT] Well, i finally managed to fix my problems, thanks!!

[Kazuldur]

also, why not credit deposits after 1 confirmation?

1 confirmation isn't sufficient. There are 1-block forks pretty much every day: https://blockchain.info/charts/n-orphaned-blocks . Longer forks like 2-4 blocks also happened: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/3343/what-is-the-longest-blockchain-fork-that-has-been-orphaned-to-date

is there some one who can help me out. Claims on my faucet are much high with 30 seconds timer and funcaptcha. With Google Analystic real time few 5  to 10 users are online each minute. But claims are more than 20 each minute.

faucetbox provide simple javascript for button of rewards which can be found in Basic Tab in Admin Panel.
some thing like
"Detect and block users with ad blocking software"

Just tick in box to activate.

also you can use

www.antiblock.org

much better

I would say faucetbox has worst security that cannot block bots being used on some faucet. Thanks to Cloudflare who help me out for a time. I am thinking to throw faucetbox away if this bot thing is not being solved. Faucetbox taking so much fees and still it is worst than microwallet.

FaucetBox has done a lot to help out with bots, in addition to a lot of members of the community. Tell me, if it looks like a human and acts like a human, how do you find out it's a bot? Cloudflare are experts in this and their service revolves on it, which is why you are likely to get a higher success rate. FaucetBox does not, and only helps out against bots because they want to. They have no obligation to do so.
Also, I'm fairly sure that Microwallet didn't do anything whatsoever in their faucet script code to prevent bots (at least didn't at the time that I last checked), it's simply that bots were a lot smaller of a problem back when Microwallet was around. If you were expecting to only have to use the FaucetBox script with no other modifications to combat all bots, you are sorely mistaken. Have you tried some of the things discussed in these threads?

Ok Thanks I will try. But right now Cloudflare under attack thing is working fine. And the Hungry guy has been stopped now

Updated - 'Not an access provider or ISP' list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1094930.msg13125867#msg13125867

2nd list for Hosting / Virtual Servers / Dedicated / Cloud / VPS / Colocation etc.,

- Confirmed domains with currently Unconfirmed Reverse look-up addresses.

Now working on a Reverse look-up list for known VPS / Proxy / Cache providers.


Using the Bad-Behavior Anti-SPAM script (+ httpbl_key) and this list within the FaucetBox.com Script (NastyHosts.com enabled) and not seeing very many bots getting through. Probably less still once cloudflare is re-enabled, after some more testing.

ARe there any new Faucets giving more than 1k satoshi to you? That would be nice for now   

There are simply to less faucets that are really gfiving good profits

What really needs to be locked down is incoming traffic sources for services such as, 2captcha .com , anti-captcha .com and others - that do have an API compatible with known faucet bots. They in fact decentralized the captcha look-ups to workers, although some checking, detection and blocking should be possible.

Thank you very much for your help friend, but what is httpbl_key?

[BitcoinFX]

Thank you very much for your help friend, but what is httpbl_key?

It's a free API key from https://www.projecthoneypot.org/ which can be used with the Bad-Behavior Anti-SPAM script to block known 'bad' IP's.

 i Think it is not permanent solution to bots. Cloudflare Browser checking before accessing website feature is far more better than any of above features. How many VPS and proxy IPs will you block. it is too much hard to block all bots IPs

Kazuldur I am having this error sometimes, I don't know what it means, could tell me if I need to do something?
