Hi there, 2017 is ending, i am curious what thing/fact pissed you off the most in the BTC / Faucets world this year Smiley

my top 2 is:

1) faucet owners using coinhive without warning the users
2) tons or url shorteners that become scam after few weeks/months

2) tons or url shorteners that become scam after few weeks/months




Before I partnered up and ran Coins4Days, I owned a solo bitcoin faucet. It was eaten alive by bots and I was forced to shut it down. I gave away .25 btc. If only I had kept it until the end of the year! Tongue

I also think CH is quite annoying. Only if the faucet/website owner asks for permission to use their user's CPU power to mine coins is when it is okay. Consent is important.

Speaking of URL shorteners, I had a major problem with zap.in. 3,615 active links generated through their API. I got a 20 satoshi payout. I do not use them anymore, anyone who does please be careful!

1. Recaptcha. I think every faucet user experienced problems with it, I don't think that I need to repeat what was already said Cheesy
2. Coinhive miner. I hate it, especially when faucet owners don't give any warning about running miner script in background.
3. In general, claiming from faucets become much more difficult and there is too much hassle to get few satoshi. Close popups, solve captcha, antibots, then view url shortener and you need to close popups, solve captcha and after everything you get 5 Satoshi. But it's reality, faucet owners have to monetize website somehow, it's not that easy, and they can't pay big rewards due to big price of btc.
Sometimes I'm missing times when it was possible to claim only after solving easy captcha, faucets were paying 500-1000 satoshi :/ . On the other hand, we should enjoy that bitcoin rised so much since then. Smiley

These are very nasty points. Personally, I'm not bored with the rewards amount, I'm fine with this, what disturbs a lot is the difficult to claim from a simple faucet. Overloaded pages with several ads, captchas, pop-ups, lagging short-links... If it were easy to claim, we could make profit from the quantity of pages we visit, but as it takes a lot of time to claim 20 satoshis from a faucet, people are going away and stop using faucets... Impossible to use many faucets as we need to waste a lot of time at few of them.

Would be nice if there were a system like FreeBitco.in, where you could deposit satoshis, so the site would let you use the faucet without the need of solving captchas. Like a faucet network for trusted people that won't cheat it. It would save a lot of time...

My favorite thing to hate from 2017 is without a doubt the bots.
Imagine a bot free world, no captchas woulkr be needed and claiming from Faucet’s could once again be made easy.

Don't just short links, ezLink them!

I'm annoyed at myself for selling Ripple early on thinking that it was a dead end. Good thing I still managed to snag some when it was not yet that expensive.

Both 1 and 2 but also many dishonest faucet owners who turned their faucets into SCAM and take the money and run. That's why I closed my list page because I got a lot of messages to promote the SCAM faucets.
