Faucetbox is abandoned. The bots dominate faucetbox
Can you send me IP addresses of confirmed bots? I'll ban them in NastyHosts.

If faucetbox really wanted to stop bots implement 2FA security key. But they just want to get 2.5%

FaucetBOX.com supports 2FA through Email, Google Authenticator and Bitcoin message signing. However that's something that can protect your FaucetBOX.com account, using 2FA to block bots attacking your faucet doesn't really make sense...

Can you send me IP addresses of confirmed bots? I'll ban them in NastyHosts. I'm tired of blocking ips. I have over 3 000 ips. All collected hand by myself. To try to stop the bots I would have to stand 24 hours at the computer looking one by one. Abandoning my social life to try to stop the bots. I'm tired.

Yea, blocking individual IPs is tedious and probably not enough to stop all bots. We're using NastyHosts to ban whole networks and even autonomuos systems that origin bot traffic. If you can send us these IP addresses, we can probably extrapolate them to IP networks and ASNs, which hopefully should be more efficient. Of course that can't stop bots using residential Internet connections, but these should be reduced by the faucet timer itself.

Tap prompt the user to enter email and password before placing the wallet. Is it possible to do that? Help to reduce the bots.

Why should people have to sign up to use FaucetBox? Regardless, bots could just make accounts on FaucetBox to get around that. Adding that to your faucet would likely be more effective, as a bot maker (probably) wouldn't put the effort into sign up to your faucet alone to abuse it.

Sure. Our Faucet in a Box script doesn't support that, but you can customize it freely if you know PHP, it shouldn't be to hard. Also I'm not sure, but I think that Elbandi's Minifaucet allows that: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=333748.0 .

Looks good. However please notice some of these ASes are residential networks, so you risk banning also real users.

İn faucetbox script , we cant put banners in the center of the page.opening the page you see the claim button , so nobody needs to see the down parts of the site.you can put at most 5-6 banners that can be seen easily , rest is in vain.can sth be done for that , or advice to me to solve that?
Edit the template file directly. However usually putting more than 3 banners actually decreases your revenue, so I'm not sure you want to do that Hi i noticed this in an old posting Why do you say this? Why does placing more than 3 banners on a site decrease revenue?

However usually putting more than 3 banners actually decreases your revenue, so I'm not sure you want to do that Hi i noticed this in an old posting Why do you say this? Why does placing more than 3 banners on a site decrease revenue? That opinion is based on: 1. personal experience 2. Google AdSense policies 3. opinions of other people, like https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-advertising-industry-best-practices-for-number-of-ad-units-per-pageSo it's just an opinion, I don't have any research with explanation or even evidence that I can point you to. However I think that it's caused mainly by two things: 1. if a user sees too many ads, they start to give more mental focus on finding out what's and ad and what isn't, which makes them less likely to actually engage with ad 2. ad networks try to choose the best paying ads, but they will try to not repeat the same ad in multiple banners on single page view. So let's say there are 5 ads that can be displayed on your page, worth respectively $1, $2, $3, $4 and $5. If you only have 3 ad slots, the ads that will be shown will be $5, $4 and $3. So an ad click gives you a minimum of $3. However if you have 5 ad slots, then the cheapest ad that's shown on your page is worth only $1. It's only a speculation, I'm not an ad expert, so take it with a grain of salt

You have faulty JS that is making the website call the "/" (main page) again and again. Technically you are flooding your own website.

Thanks @NeedItFindIt I have corrected my JS. I was aware of the issue but forgot to fix. Grr old age. Anyway back to the issue at hand. This Session error is completely Random. Here is the recent payouts graph. Clearly some people are able to claim. I have even tried switching back to the default template and have the same error. ~AvalonRychmon. P.S. This isn't a new install its over 4 months old.

This isn't a new install its over 4 months old. Open developer tools in your browser, switch to the network tab and filter by Images. About half-way through (by the way, 100+ requests per page load is insane) there's a request for an image with URL: " http://gr8.cc". That's obviously not an image and that's what's breaking the session. I don't know what causes this request though. Some people may be able to claim if: 1. they're bots that don't load images 2. they have disabled images in their browsers 3. (most likely) they have slow internet connection and are able to claim coins before their browsers start downloading this "image" EDIT: The problem is this resource: http://gr8.cc/bxslider/bx_loader.gif . Something on your page (I'm not sure what) tries to load it, but then it redirects to http://gr8.cc and breaks the session.

Hello. I'm having a problem with my faucet, It's new and ready to go , but testing has revealed a problem with the actual faucet script itself . Or at least my implementation of it. When I attempt to use the faucet as a user, The attempt fails, The page appears to reload , but instead of presenting me with the "x satoshis was sent to your address" message it reverts back to the original page and no payment goes through . Interestingly , after Kazuldur suggested that i turn on error display in my config.php file ,The faucet mechanism began to operate properly , a payment was sent successfully to my faucetbox account on a test, but 3 errors print to top of the page and an error log appears in my Public_html directory ...as follows: [23-Jun-2016 09:08:51 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined index: ip_check_server in/ ####/######/public_html/index.php on line 1570 [23-Jun-2016 09:08:51 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined index: ip_check_server in /####/######/public_html/index.php on line 1586 [23-Jun-2016 09:08:51 UTC] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /#####/#######/public_html/index.php:1570) in /home/#######/public_html/index.php on line 1620 When I turn off the error display parameter in config.php ...the faucet stops working again???!!! I know very little about coding , but I've tried to identify the problems . I think i've located the correct lines of code and it looks to me that something is not right with the retrieval of the NastyHosts.com list. I'm not sure what the header warning is all about though . I've requested help from the faucetbos guru's , but they seem a little busy at the moment ...can anyone else offer a suggestion on what I might do to rectify this fault? I'm very much a novice when it comes to coding so you'll need to be pretty specific ...sorry
