FaucetBOX.com Discussion

Anyone elses FaucetBox balances showing 0? 1.6M satoshi & 4K doge showing 0, checked the payouts and user statistics and it doesn't add up. Is there an issue with FaucetBox?

Do you see that on your faucet itself or in FaucetBOX.com Dashboard?

It's on both the faucet and within the FaucetBox dashboard. The balances have just reset to 0. It happened a few hours ago. Both DOGE & BTC just changed to 0. My faucet had not received nearly enough traffic to claim 1.6M & around 3.6-4K doge today.
---------------
Edit: Even the stats within the FaucetBox dash don't add up.
For the admin: Stats #31272, #49866 & #81789

I'll investigate it, give me an hour or two.

Okay, it was easier than I thought, it's not a bug. You were hacked, check PM for details including IP addresses (one is TOR, but I think someone was sloppy and the other IP address is actually the hacker). Enable MFA ASAP if you deposited any coins already, preferably not the email MFA, as your email could be compromised too.

For reference for others: someone knew the password and just logged in to FaucetBOX.com account.

I decided to try to use Cloudflare and .htaccess. In my .htaccess I added the list of Ips to deny. There are no Cloudflare IPs but after adding .htaccess my faucet has 403 error. Anyone knows what is the problem?

Very helpful guys. Provided all the information & steps to prevent this. I think i was a simple 'Social Engineering' attempt and someone simply got lucky xD All coins were lucky returned & steps have been taken to prevent this.

hi.

faucetebox is slow, it takes more than normal to respond and api calls are taking longer, can you check please.

[ragi]

Yes something is up. Got a cached copy of the website right now.

[BitBustah]

Been slow all day here (Belgium).

[Kazuldur]

We're seeing 4x more requests than usual. I'm working on making it better.

You have some problem in .htaccess file. Either you have blocked cloudflare IPs or there is any other mistake you have made. it is only due to the permission not allowed to cloudflare

Thanks for the update and the work.

Can someone please tell me how i can add banner between btc address and captcha and between captcha and claim in faucetinbox?

[SparkyU]

It really should have a display message that says "this faucet is over the sending limit" or something similar BEFORE a user goes to the trouble of jumping through all the hoops of anti-bot links and captchas.  I've heard more than a few users be irate over this issue and what a waste of time it is on their part.

In your template's index.php file look for these snippets of code:

For between the address bar and captcha, look for this (line 158 in the default template):

Code:

<div class="form-group">
      <?php echo $data["captcha"]; ?>

Above that line is between the captcha and address bar.

For between the captcha and claim button, look for this (line 174 in the default template):

Code:

<div class="form-group">
      <div class="col-sm-offset-4 col-sm-4">
            <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" value="Get reward!">
      </div>
</div>

Above that line is between the captcha and claim button.

The problem with this comes in that this warning is sent as an error by the payment API, which is only requested once the form has been successfully posted. However, this could be fixed on FaucetBox's end by adding the error to the Balance API additionally; not requiring any new API to be created and implemented, simply just a small edit to the response handling when fetching the balance in the faucet script.

Limits are disabled by default, you must have enabled them. Go to your faucet's Manage page in your FaucetBOX.com Dashboard, you can change it there.

Hello Kazuldur can you read this post, if possible can you help this faucet owner.

I wanted to change password of my Faucetbox account but I couldn't find any option to do so. Please let me know the way.
I emailed you about it but you didn't reply for 3 days.
Secondly I bought a faucet I am not able to claim reward from this faucet aquabitcoin.com using your script. After solving captcha instead of getting to claim/account page I get a blank page. It is an established faucet and I think issue is with me only. Is it due to some blocking ip/server thing in Admin panel?
