FaucetBOX.com Discussion

[sabotag3x]

I collected my first satoshis using faucetbox faucets and after a while I made my own one, for sure the best API that brought a lot of people to know the coin and have contact with it.

Always a good support, thanks for all OP!

As far as I think micropayment services should have there profits from transactions fees. It's just not right when everything depends on advertising incomes. Anyway thanks for the this remarkable project.

[snipie]

I remember my first time getting an amount of bitcoin is by faucetbox.com, waiting to reach the threshold then waiting 2 days to get my first satoshis ever in blockchain.info.
Time goes fast and sadly the project isn't that profitable anymore
Hope you good luck with your future projects and thanks

Random note: I'll post my semi-technical, hopefully neutral review of ePay.info, FaucetSystem.com and FaucetHub.io (when it's ready). Maybe also other microwallets if any shows up. We'll also add support for these in Faucet in a BOX (ePay.info is already supported in r66). I hope that it'll make it easier for you to select a new microwallet to transition to.

What will happen to coins which will be not withdrawed until deadline? I'm sure that exist many not active addresses which didn't reached treshold, and many died faucets which have some dust on their ballance.

Depends. We never guaranteed withdrawals of coins under the threshold. If we have enough coins in the end to cover withdrawal fees for them, we may do that. But we always calculated everything under assumption that there will be no transactions with such dust outputs and recently fees dramatically increased (from ~1.5% to 3.2% currently), so I don't expect we'll be able to do that.

I also think it's not a good idea to send so dusty transactions. Read the topic that's pinned in this section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1044399.0 :

The most common problem when using faucets is the small payment. Every time you receive a bitcoin payment to your wallet you have a new input to spend at a later date. Think of this like a lump of bitcoin you can use later. When you later want to use these lumps of bitcoin they need space as part of the transaction your wallet creates for you. This is usually 180 bytes per input. A bigger (in terms of byte) transaction will need more fees in order to be confirmed in a reasonable amount of time. Each block offers only a limited amount of space (currently 1 MB) and if you need a big chunk of the space a big chunk of your available funds will be used as fee for the miners. Faucets try to counter this by creating payout limits, but they are often set very small. A reasonable fee for a transaction with less than 1000 byte in size is 10,000 Satoshi. If the payout limit is 100,000 Satoshi and you try to spend this input, you will have to spend 10% on fees. If you want an example how bad this can end, I helped someone recover from this a while back, in numbers:
~0.5 BTC from faucets, collected over ~2 years, ~2000 inputs, ~350,000 bytes, ~0.09 BTC in fees.

So such dusty transactions are more trouble then they're worth. It probably costs much more in fees to spend them then they're worth...

As to old faucets - we don't even have an address that we could withdraw their balances to.

That's why we give 2 months for withdrawing all coins. Everything else will be lost when we shutdown our servers.

[LTU_btc]

Thank you for explanation. I understand that's not worth to send dust. Now everything is clear what will happen to these coins.

Does anyone knows what "Error code: -5" means for the r66?

Hello

We have a protection system that enables faucet owners to set a timer for each address.
for example address A on faucet Z with timer of 10 minutes cannot play sooner than 10 minutes on each attempt.

Error -5 mean this address is trying to play sooner that it is supposed to.

thanks info , in epay how min deposit for doge and bitcoin , in this december i will move to epay micropayment used faucetbox script v R.6.6

Hello,
There is no minimum for deposit.
we're looking forward to meet you.

okey thanks
i hope next script faucetbox r66 will develop by epay for update, and support for next altcoin from epay like monero etc

Please consider adding ALL the security features Faucetbox had: 2FA, API payout limit every 30 min, API call back restriction to a specified IP etc. You didn't even have 2FA last time I checked.

Hi, new Microwallet service for faucets is available http://wmzona.com/zarabotok/microwallet

Sorry, are you the owner? If you are, I suggest you better create your own thread instead of just announcing it here. Announcing here to gain people attraction is good strategy (although unethical) but if you didn't build your own thread, it will be quite waste because once this thread gone for good (like what I think it will be once everything is finalized) then your announcement will goes with it. Also, having your own thread will allow your users to interact and discuss the service you give.

I am not  even sure why I reply your comment, this post has a high possibility of being out of topic and got deleted.

I don't mind people posting FaucetBOX.com alternatives here.

However a separate thread would also be nice, as I've already found critical  vulnerability and I'd like to know where I can report this (disabling verify_peer means that API could just as well be provided via plain, unencrypted HTTP...). Also they stole our API docs, which violates our copyrights and I'd like to get that straight. (I have nothing agains copying the API itself for compatibility, but they copied everything, including styling...)

lol, that's lame as hell.

I'll need ToS, so I guess I'll just copy from faucetbox.

I will turn on SSL encryption as soon as possible, but it is no so dangerous as you think.
As our microwallet service support faucetbox API, I do not see reason to rewrite API Documentation. Also there are back links to faucetbox.com and faucetinabox.com

I have faucet rotator with thousands of users and hundreds of faucets so I am worring about them. After faucetbox and paytoshi will  close we should have a few spare microwallet services.

Great joke - really .. thinking and knowing are two parts ... but anyway your statement said enough to me.

That's a joke, right?

There is a reason. It's called law and copyrights.

Just curious faucetbox admin,
Why you guys haven't thought of selling faucetbox to some guy/company rather than just closing it completely.

Sorry if it has been answered already, give me link.

From what I've understood, they're going to keep the domain and work on their faucet script in the future, so it would be pointless for them to sell the project
