Thx once again for your support,

Ok payments can be sent from faucet but balance cannot be displayed.

Ok payments can be sent from faucet but balance cannot be displayed.

You updated the connection information for the API post, but did you do the same for when it gets the balance? My understanding is that there are two different spots in the code where the URL is defined for the API. Can you confirm? (Sorry, my experience with the base microwallet script is limited - I code for a different micro transaction provider.)

I don't own a faucet and don't have API key to test so make a backup copy of your index file then:

find and replace:

Code:

$balance = @file_get_contents('https://www.microwallet.org/api/v1/balance?api_key=' . rawurlencode($GLOBALS['settings']['microwallet_api_key']));

with

Code:

//  $balance = @file_get_contents('https://www.microwallet.org/api/v1/balance?api_key=' . rawurlencode($GLOBALS['settings']['microwallet_api_key']));
            $request = '';
            $request .= "GET /api/v1/balance?api_key=".rawurlencode($GLOBALS['settings']['microwallet_api_key'])." HTTP/1.0\r\n";
            $request .= "Host: www.microwallet.org\r\n";
            $request .= "Connection: close\r\n\r\n";
            $fp = @fsockopen('ssl://104.28.0.112', 443);
            if (!$fp) {
              // ??
            }
            @fputs($fp, $request);
            $response = '';
            while (!@feof($fp)) {
                $response .= @fgets($fp, 1024);
            }
            @fclose($fp);
            $balance = explode("\r\n\r\n", $response);
            $balance = $balance[1];

Looks for some reason your hosting is unable to resolve the microwallet's IP address.

As a temp measure you can ping locally:

ping www.microwallet.org
this will give you the IP 104.28.0.112, or 104.28.1.112 or something else ...

Then replace

Code:

        $fp = @fsockopen('ssl://www.microwallet.org', 443, $errno, $errstr, 3);

Code:

        $fp = @fsockopen('ssl://[put the IP here]', 443, $errno, $errstr, 3);

Then you will probably need to buy me a beer   just kidding, I'm not sure if it will work.

Thanks a lot

When I run Faucet Script on my own server it Works but On a Hosted Server it does not. So any one tell me what I should tell the hosting provider to do.

What is the error message "Failed to send."?

I use a2hosting.com and 1blu.de and both works fine for me. Maybe you should try another provider.

Is the host running php older than 5.2.x?

I think these problems of microwallet are renewing the interest in faucets. Apart from the new FaucetBOX, i know that a company is going to publish another micro payment network probably next week. Let's see where this situation is going...

I tend to agree with that, and it sounds like a great thing! Also another one popped up two weeks ago that has over 30 faucets on it's network (BTC&DOGE)
I think the admin of Microwallet will be happy to see these new providers.

The essential question is :

Microwallet.org really will stop soon this service and we all need find alternative?

My take is that probably not short term, but you may start thinking about it

Totally agree with you. I think he made plain his desire to quit the business multiple times.

Has the admin of LOB/MW stated how he feels about someone posting alternative links in his thread? I cant send PM's yet here.

[BitcoinClix]

Has anyone received a payment from MW?
I have already 900000 on my account.

i have more then 0.05 BTC, nothing received yet for more then 2 weeks

Hello everybody!

MW hasn't paid indeed, I hope they do soon.

Meanwhile I've decided to make a simple PHP microfaucet script that doesn't need a wallet service around the blockchain.info API.

Something like that should be freely available.

You just build up a user balance in the database like you do with referral claims.

At 5500+ payout follows just like Bitcoin-Cloud.eu does.  

Sure it's not convenient for users who want to collect little payments from many faucets at once.

Advantage however is that you keep the balance of users who never reach payment level.

The other group of users is coming back to your site anyway.

Moonbitoin used to work with MW and now keep their own balance.
