Edit: Please note that the glitch hindering me from making further claims on moonbit.co.in has disappeared after two days. I still do not know the cause of this bug but as everything works again and as other users confirmed that this bug occurs from time to time, I think it's safe to assume that the site is not a scam, just a little bit glitchy sometimes Disregard any scam accusation in this post for now, I'll keep you updated should the glitch occur again.So, a lot of you might have heard of the faucet
http://moonbit.co.in/It's an independent faucet that has one of those cool "satoshis will add up when you're afk" features, meaning you don't have to claim every fifth minute to get a decent amount of satoshis. I really liked the faucet and decided to give it a go.
At first, everything went smoothly, the rewards were OK for a faucet and I was looking forward to my first withdrawal.
Half-way there, however, I suddenly started getting errors when trying to claim satoshis. Every time I wanted to make a claim and further my funds so I could finally cash out, the system would respond with the error "Sorry, something very bad has happened - please try again later"
At first, I thought this must have been a mistake on the faucet's side since I didn't use any ad blockers or javascript blockers. I waited a day for the error to vanish but it did not. Eventually I started asking other people that use the faucet and they said everything was performing as usual.
This made me curious. Why was I not able to make claims when other people ostensibly were?
I decided to log out and log back in with a different receiving address, just to see if I was able to claim with a fresh account - and I was. I thought this might have fixed the issue but when I logged out and logged back in on my main receiving address, the error message came back right away. (Please note that I had never used a different address before, my interaction with that faucet was 100% legit, no bots, no exploiting what so ever) This means I have wasted a lot of time on a faucet that won't let me gather any more satoshis in order to cash out.
I don't know if I was shadow-banned or blocked or if there are any other technical issues at play. Maybe the admin wants to keep cost low by blocking new users that make claims regularly. I don't know - but something is definitely up with this faucet.
I suggest you stay away from moonbit.co.in if you aren't invested already! There's nothing worse than an independent faucet that will never pay you for work you've already done. And even when disregarding all the fishy stuff, the recent adjusted rates have been way below average compared to other decent faucets, even ones that pay directly to faucetbox.
