So, many faucet owners want to add short link on their faucet. But faucet users doesn't like it. If we (faucet owners) give option to faucet users to choose, how'll be this?
Example:
=> "Get 100 satoshi every satoshi every hour."
=> "2x your reward for visiting this short link."
So, this will be an win-win condition for both faucet users and owners and faucet users won't be annoyed as they are choosing options.
What do you think about that idea?
The thing is, you can never verify if they actually go through the link, unless the owner of the shortener service give X secret after verifying, which is something all the major linkshorteners don't do. You can check for referer but that is spoofable.
It's hard to tell.
I think users would give a lot of support if such an option became available.
it's just 1 line of PHP code for faucets:
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']=='your shortener url') {multiply your reward here;}
I know about that line, but i tested it myself with adfly, and a plugin in chrome, (I think this one is similar
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/refcontrol/ ) And i was able to claim, without clicking through the adf.ly link.
I think that there is a way to combat it, by making a deeper page, but i am not sure for now.
it was the simplest "dumb" example, of course faucet owners can improve that many ways like i did that..
if you are thinking like a bad boy, you can make (almost) unbeatable checks for bots or unfair claimers.
@alamin - i know and it's ok
