[ANN] 🔥 NEW β-faucet 🔥

[Kema]

New β-faucet.
This faucet is meant to be a playground for testing out new features, new design and new code.
And to make this meaningful I need users to help in the testing, but this will also be an opportunity for you to let me know what you like vs dislike, what’s working vs not working.
To make it worth your while I’ll try to offer really good rewards.
At the time of writing the average reward for a Red claim is about 12 satoshi, but it can be both higher as well as lower, rewards are calculated dynamically from a range of factors.

This is a β-faucet and it’s expected to be a little shaky, but I try to keep it as stable as possible and I’ll do my best to be responsive to any issues you report.
First order of business, once I’ve verified that the claim process is working properly I plan on raising the rewards. But first it needs som testing...
I’ve discovered that even if everything is working perfectly for myself, some users will still have unforeseen problems.
So, let’s have some fun. I need you to be my lab rats, but you get to help shaping the faucet into a faucet you can really love. You make the requests and I try to put it into code.  
5 minute cool-down, Bitcoin, 25% referral commission and faucethub instant payout.

Edit. Autocorrect messed up the url originally, but I fixed it now.

Hello there,
The link isn't working Edit:Never mind,had to remove a space.
First,I suggest you to add an anti-adblock as I can use it on your website.Second,the bonus boutton is not working,results in an error.The captcha is also annoying (red one) as there is a mathematical operation to be done (but it's upside down) makes it annoying to solve,maybe recaptcha would be better.
Regards

Anti-Adblock is coming, but I wanted to start with the raw basics.
Bonus button? Are we talking about the red pill?
I built my own captcha since so many people are having issues with recaptcha. However I’m always interested in improvements. It just needs to be light weight, easy on humans and hard on bots.
And you getting an error is just the weirdest thing, I just made a Red claim myself and everything went perfectly smooth?

And to avoid misunderstandings, the url is https://kemafaucet.com/beta

I’ll see if I can find the problem first thing in the morning.

P.S. you need JavaScript and cookies enabled.

Although it's a terrible inconvenience when something like this happens it is good to catch it early and fix the issue.
It works perfectly in Opera and in Chrome, both on PC, iPhone and iPad.
MS Edge, FF and MS Explorer are showing errors, some handles it gracefully others not so well.

Somewhere I must have used something that only works in Chrome?
I'm on it...

But for people using Chrome it should work as it is.

Update, it appears Cloudflare was causing issues for Firefox and MS Edge, tweaking the settings seem to have fixed it. Firefox and MS Edge appear to be fully functional now.

I have Javascript and cookies enabled though.When I clicked the green boutton "Bonus" after completing the captcha and filling my address I get an error:

Sorry for being imprecise earlier.
Ps: I use Google Chrome (latest version I guess?)

This is actually somewhat funny, you were in the wrong page to begin with.
Use this link to go to the correct page.
The URL for the β-faucet is https://kemafaucet.com/beta

Now, it was still a good thing because it did force me to check browser support.
And, I did find problems...
Everything should be working now though.

[Kema]

Had another oops *facepalm* moment, found a typo in the code dealing with clearing IP's.
Anyhoo, that too is fixed now.

Edit. I can see in the statistics that claims are registering now.

just tyed to login with my normal faucethub address and got this error after login :
 Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /home/kemafa5/lib/model/ip.php on line 120

Thanks, I’ll get right on it.
It’s incredible how everything is working when I test things and then go wonky for other people?

Edit. Well that was a quick fix. at least.
Try now...

P.S. Since people are so nice and helping out I decided to up the reward just a little.

I think I got it!
Fixed another typo, and it worked when I supplied a new address for testing.
So, (fingers crossed) it should work fine now.

[faucetuser007]

^ Working now!

Did a claim with and without shortlink, working and paying!

PS: You may want to change KemaBCH?

Greets!

[Kema]

Awesome
And yeah, since this is the β-faucet... Successful features will definitely carry over to the regular faucets.

[faucetuser007]

Ah, I probably didn't make myself clear with "You may want to change KemaBCH?"

I meant that the payout on FaucetHub shows as faucet KemaBCH (see screenshot in my previous post) while paying BTC, this may confuse users? Not a big deal but anyway, just mentioning...

Lol, I didn’t even notice.
And yes, for sure, now that it’s operational it’s time to take care of things like that.

Pop quiz: What would you prefer? I add a popunder ad and raise the reward, or stay as is?

I'd have to do some testing to see exactly where we would end up rewards wise, but it should easily be able to add a couple of satoshi on average.
So, it's pain vs greed here, lol.

[Kema]

No interest in that one?
+1 popunder = higher reward, or stay as is?

[Kema]

Ok, since I'm not seeing any responses here regarding the popunder question, I'll justy go ahead and give it a try.
Popunder inserted and rewards raised!
Feedback is welcome.

P.S. At the time of writing the average reward is somewhere in the 16-17 satoshi area.
But as I’ve mentioned earlier, it can be both higher and lower depending on a range of factors.

New faucet script launched for all Kemafaucets.

And now the β-faucet has had another facelift.

I’ve received some critique for my faucets being “complex”...
So, this time I’ve really tried to simplify matters.
1. Enter wallet address
2. Click power-gauge to make claim. It’s round, pretty big and placed in the middle of the screen, you can’t miss it.

The longer you wait between claims, the more power = higher reward.
(You should be able to make a handful of claims with full power each day. )

If you really hate short links, just click the checkbox for “I want a smaller reward”.

β-faucet = testing new code, please report back any bugs so that I can fix them.
