It seems that FaucetBox's Faucets are hard to earn now. Way back before There are faucets that pay 3000-5000 Sats a day where I earn more than 100k sats in just one day. Now I barely earn 30k sats. It sad how I see only Faucets paying 500 satoshis and they have very very hard captchas to solve. I hope they were back in the old days.

Mate ...you have all the crooks and their BOTS to blame for that.
 
I'm sure Faucet owners would offer higher rewards and more frequently, if we could guarantee that our balance's wouldn't be  drained by thieves who's also don't register on our revenue earning mechanisms ...so we loose both ways

Maybe that's why captchas today are harder to solve now you need to be clever on solving it. Also its hard to earn the minimum 13k a day if you don't have a list of paying faucetbox faucets

Oh and of course BTC itself has become more expensive. This puts downward pressure on faucet rewards. Most people would have to juggle around the profit margin.
There's a bit of difference in giving away free BTC at $200USD as opposed to $664USD ...ya know?

 Yeah, BTC price incensing and 1000 satoshi x $200 rewards  equal  300 satoshi x $665 at this time!

Evening punters!

I'm seeing some kinda weird activity on my faucet wrt payouts that I can only attribute to some kind of BOT.

1.     Bitcoin   3MEnuhfKB86z21F3CFUAdzeKH96CCWTbst   11 satoshi   2016-06-29 17:10:32 ACST   yes
2.   Bitcoin   3GF4h5qqTSVvP4p82ZvDVbFCyQjBZaGcXH   75 satoshi   2016-06-29 17:10:30 ACST   no
3.   Bitcoin   3LXA2x7Me1KvaWp4n3XHZgGo4e7bjXKwpe   11 satoshi   2016-06-29 17:08:50 ACST   yes
4.   Bitcoin   3B2Nu1uab29xF4orfD8oEbTThbtouWpjdY           75 satoshi   2016-06-29 17:08:49 ACST   no
5.   Bitcoin   3EoScnLTZKwXNkddjcQxh4HGiYaYJpE9rT           11 satoshi   2016-06-29 17:08:28 ACST   yes
6.   Bitcoin   3GsayfzWwvr4qRbGMUrEs5MmTeDLC11qQA   75 satoshi   2016-06-29 17:08:26 ACST   no

This goes on for pages. It seems like some wanker has created a BOT of some kind that  not only nabs a payment and a referral all in one , but also changes wallet address for the next "rotation"  and judging from my server logs, the IP as well.

Yeah ok ...very clever douche-bag ...clap clap ...now PISS OFF !!

I was forced to withdraw my funds yesterday. I was getting error logs full of banned IP's , but this dick was also managing to get a trickle of coin from me too.

The  site was literally being bombarded, but this has fortunately now stopped. It was almost like a DOS attack.
The situation is currently back to normal , but I wont return my funding until I can come up with an improved security regime.

I guess i wouldn't mind if this "traffic" was registering as actual impressions , but my advertising accounts and Google analytics show almost 0 activity, so I'm just loosing money... not earning. ( Hmmm.... slightly hypocritical!..  )

These people are freaking annoying !!! I have to confess that I'm at a loss to know what to do about it . I thought I had deployed fairly good BOT traps, at least Equal to anyone else's, but I guess not.

Being a NEW faucet manager, I find this quite disappointing ...anyone got any "Viable" solutions?...PM me please

What RPM do you have on Adsense?

Well, bitcoin price is very high atm, and almost every faucet is using ad sense, and they are paying in $. So, owners can exchange in less bitcoins, so they can give less, users see lower rewards and lots of them stop using faucets, owner gets lower add revenue because of that, and he is forced to give lower rewards, i think you got picture. And of course, bots lurks for faucets with high rewards

Good afternoon, three days is that they have not put my satoshis out, what happened?
my portfolio address is 15jfBW6JVpSszPjgeYE96wGcPJBEr73Ugu

48 hours didn't pass yet since you reached the threshold, 1 more hour left. However we're having "Transaction commit failed" issues with Bitcoin daemon, so payouts are delayed and you probably won't receive coins in time. It's an issue with Bitcoin Core.

We're working on a fix. Until then payouts for addresses with low number of accumulated satoshis (about less than 20000 satoshi) can be delayed and unreliable. Sorry

Hello,
since 2 days, the adress stats aren`t updated, as well as the faucets payout history...will I receive payouts from the faucets I visited in the meantime?

Are you sure you're checking the same address you're using on faucets? What address are you using on faucets? What faucets do you use, are you sure they're legit?

[stephsache]

Most time I use Knolix.com, worked well until now...
Strange, I used another faucet, instead. That worked well. Then I retried Knolix.com and now its working, too...
Whatever...

Is faucetbox script meant to support cloudflare?
I tried to add cloudflare and it resulted in error 500 when the get reward button clicked / admin panel login button clicked

Go to your FaucetBox admin->Advanced->Reverse Proxy provider (choose CloudFlare)->Save Changes

Or if you are unable to get in the admin:

Get to your mysql database table Faucetinabox_Settings find name reverse_proxy and set the value to cloudflare

Want to be 100% sure on how to update a script as I am using a custom theme and don't want to lose it.

I am currently running faucetbox v62 and want to update to the latest version, faucetbox v64. What files were changed between these versions? Thanks for the advice.

1. make a backup of all files
2. make a backup of database
3. update all files except config.php and templates/ directory

Great, thank you very much! Glad I don't have to make any major changes to my custom template.

Me again.
I am still having problems with the script.
After activating cloudflare from the sql database (by changing reverse-proxy) the faucet still gives error 500
I see the following in the server error log:

Code:

[18-Jul-2016 13:24:23 America/New_York] PHP Notice:  Banned: ipaddress in /home/foldername/public_html/script/common.php on line 309

Ipaddress in place of an actual ipaddress
Will remove cloudflare and see if that fixes things.
