BAD NEWS...

I've decided to close 2 faucets

www.fiveminute.faucetfly.com

&

https://fiveminutefaucet.site

Can't keep up with the bot's getting thru faucetbox any more.

I banned over 300 btc addresses and several hundred Ip's in the last couple of days, but they still keep coming ??

i think the people at faucetbox and faucetfly, have lost interest in our security and have more interest in the 2.5% fee for top-ups.

sites will stay up for a few days to allow anyone who wants to drain the faucets @ 1 satoshi a time.



GOOD NEWS !!!!!

I've been reading up on a very interesting thread started by "Gifted"
you can read it here
 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1365803.0

I have had a few more faucets in the pipeline for later this year, So will be bringing these forward and will Open @ least one faucet in the next few days via Xapo, thanks to Gifted, and his briliantly informative thread..

Bye Bye Faucetfly & Faucetbox

I shall not miss you and your Bots !!!!

Glad i can help... when you decide to make the Xapo faucet  let me know and ill give you a code to stop bots without adding ip's to ban and all the other anti bot click stuff.. its just a code so they can go to your page and still browse but not claim if using any proxy .

Looking forward to see what you come up with in the future, I'll go check out that other thread now too. Thanks.

Sorry to hear that, and those botheads made you give in, I really do not blame you, it was the right thing to do, it must have been like hey man open your pocket I will fill for you.

Good luck with the new one, but xapo I cannot use.

No other option really.

I tried to give good value for little effort and would have expected better protection from my payment processor.

I will look at other payment options also to accomodate users who are in the same position as yourself sir...

I have used yours before a lot in fact, but never know my balance.
And it hurts my eyes, epileptic fit could happen.

Sorry that you had to close down your faucets! You probably put a ton of work into those.

thanks for your sentiments sir..

I look at it as a negative experience, nothing else...

it also is an opportunity to move forward with lesson's learned

I'm a somewhat newbie to the faucets and would rather go through the tribulations now, than get raped for $1000's later.


Not every bad experience is devastating, look at it as a learning curve..

Onwards and upwards..  !!!

It's nice to know that you are planning to change from faucetbox faucet to xapo faucet. Although xapo faucets have a bots too, it is easy to track down bot's from it than faucetbox.
If you already established your faucet, try to utilize Google Analytics to track bots and spiders on your site.

I'm also using sir Gifted's xapo faucet script. But I change the solve media captcha to Google ReCaptcha and I didn't activate the direct to wallet address payment as it will attract more bots to my faucet, IMO.

Good luck to your journey!

Alfaboy, did i ever give you the code to stop bots to put in the faucet script?

 go into the index.php in the root and find this line---->

Code:

if (!isset($response[0]) || trim($response[0]) === 'false'){
    $view['main']['result_html'] = '<div class="row text-center"><div class="col-sm-6 col-md-offset-3 bg-danger"><p>Wrong captcha!</p></div></div>';
    $message                     = "Wrong captcha";
  }

Put this code right under it--->

Code:

//We do not allow proxy here
 if(@fsockopen($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], 80, $errstr, $errno, 1))
{ 
  $view['main']['result_html'] = '<div class="row text-center"><div class="col-sm-6 col-md-offset-3 bg-danger"><p>Bots not allowed !! If you are not a bot and not on a proxy, i still cant help you !</p></div></div>';
    $message                     = "Proxy";
    goto error; 
  }
  $q = $sql->prepare("select * from users where LOWER(username) = LOWER(?) or ip = ? order by claimed_at desc");
  $q->execute(array($username,$ip));
  $row = $q->fetch();
  //timer check
