My wallet id is blocked on Bitconker as is others, see for ref
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1159864.msg12218506#msg12218506I do not know about bots nor do I scam any faucet, I use another wallet now on there and all is ok, but if I cannot use my old wallet as its still blocked.
I did send the owner email but he just ignored it, the only faucet Admin ever to not answer why.
I did have issues with other faucets once upon a time, as some of them had never heard of my browser (Maxthon) Once I got in touch with them, it all got resolved.
So I guess if I never, I would still be banned from those websites.
Can you be really sure that all those addys are bots and scammers? 100%
No. I'm not sure. But I'm getting good results acting this way.
I think some of them are just reseting their modem to get a new IP.
They are using different bitcoin address too...
Do you use some technique or tool to block TOR users?
If you're not protected against that kind of thing already, you'll be paying hundreds of thousands, possibly millions out to guys coming in from hosting providers. Amazon AWS is a common one they use.
But yeah to a lesser extent you'll be getting hit by people with access to IP ranges too. I can post code snippets to sort that stuff out when I'm on a PC in a few hours, but I'd also suggest you use google analytics or something similar to get visibility of the networks which are causing you problems.
TOR is blocked for my faucet now. I will keep the TOR IPs blacklist updated every week. This is the best I can do for now... :T
This will kill 99% of proxy servers...put this in your htaccess file

https://perishablepress.com/press/2008/04/20/how-to-block-proxy-servers-via-htaccess/Thank you. But I am already using this code.
The problem is that I tested my site with the 3 first proxies retrieved by Google and all of them accessed normally my faucet.
Are you having this problem too?
