[ANN] FaucetBOX.com - API & faucet script, create your own crypto faucet

[sofocles]

You can try this version: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=00145624559023713371
But it's not tested, so no guarantees.

It works smoothly. Thank you.

I'll make admin panel work without connection right after I migrate FaucetBOX.com to a new server

How much longer do you think that will take?

[Superhitech]

When I try to sign up, it gives me wrong captcha even though it's right. (I double checked) help please!

[ryukamiho]

Microwallet not paying, Faucetbox offline. today is a really dark day for faucets o,.o

[Candystripes]

When I try to sign up, it gives me wrong captcha even though it's right. (I double checked) help please!

Keep in mind he is switching servers, that may be part of the problem.

Ah ok. Maybe that's why.

[sofocles]

Are you changing fluzo condenser to the server??? 


This could be a conspiracy to destroy the faucets.

[Bitcoin Hydrant]

We added yesterday FaucetBox as dedicated page on our list. Hope we didn't bring bad luck to you 

Happy faucets and good work

[Kazuldur]

Update guys. I believe the migration is complete and the tests went fine. FaucetBOX.com should work again as soon as DNS updates. At least I hope so

Your faucets also got 9000+ hits from us during the last few days.

FaucetBox List

The most concerning thing is that white testing 1-2 days ago one of the faucets kept returning "Unknown Error". Allowing me to rerty 1 or 2 times before it returned success message.

When I checked the FaucetBox website I found 3 payment in a row from that faucet  

You really have to check your soft/api etc.


The other LOL thing is that today you have paid TWICE to the same users and I still see the amount as pending in FaucetBox

Just compare the top addresses:

Yep, I was able to keep quiet about that   Thanks for the free coffee, but FIX it or you will repeat the MtGox story!

This is a nice detail, for the inconveniences of the day.  0.21 bitcoins ($ 84) in total. It's not much and people appreciate it.

Some faucets are working. Mine, unfortunately, not yet.

There are also some DB encoding issues. Roman-CATOШ became Roman-???

If it uses fsockopen you can put (temporary) directly the new IP instead of the domain name

Actually I see the same issue appearing that MW had a week ago. PHP 5.4 and older are unable to connect using the domain name.

Here is my debug tool made to work with FaucetBox.

But that's because it uses the Cloudflare nameservers. Real IP of Faucetbox.com is 185.25.151.163.  He have other sites running in that ip.

[Knowing the directory in which the site is located would be possible to change the URL of the API in the file faucetbox.php and maybe get it to work]*

*yes, my english sucks. I am sorry.

On the other hand:
https://faucetbox.com/api/v1/ => {"status":404,"message":"Invalid API method"}

I wonder if this is okay because my faucet still not working.

Right, but if you want to make your website work before the DNS kicks in you have to choose one of them.

If you choose the real one 185.*.*.* and he moves in a week ... your website will stop again.
