[ANN] Paytoshi: Micropayments & Faucets

[nano-btc]

Well, I will stay with FaucetBox

I respect you and what you say minifrij, but Zakir is the one trust abuser here..

[Paytoshi]

In the meanwhile... over 5 BTC transacted on our payment system. 

[Paytoshi]

Just released version 7 of our faucet script with a few improvements:

* Better captcha update: support for ReCaptcha API v2. (Now the default captcha provider!)
* PHP 5.6 support.
* Better support for installation not at hosting root.

You can download it here.

Enjoy it!

We are actively working on a rewrite of the code powering Paytoshi to boost maintenability and security.

It will surely be mostly a backend thing but you can expect a few new features dropped in for end users as well.

And by the way... do you have any special requests that you would like to see to make our service better?

Thank you

My wishlist.

1: users should be able login via email other than btc address.
2: admin should have record of users email in db.
3:admin should be able to set min cashout amount for all members, or set a specified day to send payments to all members.

BTW,

Very nice support , so far I have received from you  guys.

Grandi ragazzi.
Maybe you can make a themes or plugin shop, because i saw that most of the themes are not compatible.
Nothing to add, very good service keep ip up

A brief heads-up about the last 2 weeks in Paytoshi.

• As part of our periodic update routine, we updated to Bitcoin Core 0.10.2 a week before the 4th July blockchain split. That enabled us to be resilient against the recent double spending streak.
• We had a total rewrite of the first building block of our infrastructure, the micropayment subsystem. This was due to promote maintanability, security and future updates. Both the deploy in production (30th June) and the update went smoothly, with minimal downtime.
• We registered a huge increase in use of our system, handling around 50k microtransactions per day right now. This fact prompted a change in the frequency and management of payments. We are now experimenting a new automated payment schedule.
• We are rewriting the second building block, the faucet subsystem. We plan to test and deploy it in the next few weeks.

That's all for now. Stay tuned!

Interesting site, good job paytoshi.

Interesting site, good job paytoshi.

Thank you!

Addenda: we recently switched to BlockTrail as our block explorer provider since it is probably the best alternative out there!

Great! Let me or anyone from the BlockTrail team know if you need any assistance or questions.

Thanks!

We had an issue with our 67th payment.

We fixed with a new transaction. Everything should be fine.

Enjoy!

You may be interested in the growing interest for our platform.



Just yesterday we passed the mark of 10+ BTC transacted with our service.
In addition, the massive increase in microtransaction volume is still going strong: more than 72k micro payments delivered in the last 24h.

Another update of what's going on in Paytoshi

In parallel to the ongoing effort to harden our core infrastructure, we just released a good deal of fixes for our web frontend.

You should note, in particular, no more annoying validation issues in the faucet create/edit form and better balance charts (both for faucet users and owners).
If you notice anything out-of-place let us know, please.

In the meantime, we finished the rewrite of the faucet subsystem and we are testing it in our staging area.

Thank you!

I set this up and the tables where input into MySQL without problem. I am having an issue with logging in. After it gives me the password and I proceed to input it, it take the password but does not progress past login. If I try an incorrect password it will tell me so. So thats not the issue. I have no interest in creating a faucet again, but am very interested in creating some themes for other users.

I have ran this before with no issues on a domain specifically for it. But this time I have have it uploaded into deeper directories. Could this be the problem?

Hello sorryforthat,

first of all we are thrilled by the idea of independent development on our platform, so you're welcome to try. 

About your issue. From your description it does not seem a problem related to directory structure but more to you server "mangling" a POST request (the password form) into a GET request. We had such a report once before.

It could be worth investigation. Care to contact us privately so we can try to sort it out?

Thank you,
Cheers

I am trying to deposit BTC to my faucet, I have already send one small payment but didn't received it yet. I am skeptical to make another deposit till I know what's going on and where did my BTC go?

Does the transaction have 2 confirmations? That is when the deposit is added to your balance (Source: https://paytoshi.org/faq)

Hello infinitebtcdotcom,

after the last Bitcoin blockchain problems of unreliable mining pools we increased the required confirmations to 6 to help avoid double spending.
We just updated the website FAQ with the correct value, we are sorry for the trouble.

Thank you,
Cheers

Do any of you guys know if you can add a running balance counter onto the faucet?
