Topic: [ANN] LeakyBitcoins.com: Win up to 250,000 Satoshi every 60 minutes! - page 19. (Read 17435 times)

I totally understand what you're saying. I will most likely be adjusting these numbers in the near future (edit: JUST DID!), but the main "selling point" of my site is the chance to win a large amount of satoshi. So, I compare it more to gambling than just the usual faucet.

I'm already seeing a large amount of unique visitors (almost 15,000 now) in only 5 days, so I want to keep the payouts the same for now.

Why not participate in the contest!?

It's a win-win for faucet users!

Whew, it was a chore editing that post.. lol. I fixed a couple of mistakes too, so the contest should be good to go!


Thanks, Lukkus! I wish you the best of luck!

100 satoshis with 90% chance to earn isn't a good reward. If you increase the chance to earn 250, 500 and 750 satoshis it would be better for us. Another prizes like 1000, 5000, 10000, 50000 satoshis are almost impossible to get, and I understand it, because you can't support those very high prizes.

I don't particularly think there's any shame in self-bumping as long as you keep one consistent thread and don't clog the forum (I'm going to keep doing it until someone tell me not to haha) Anyway cool contest, will be participating!

Hey all. I'm trying to generate more interest for my faucet, and hate self-bumping.

So, I'm going to hold a VERY SIMPLE, yet rewarding contest for all of my current and future users!! Mods - if this against forum rules, please let me know

I've got some banner advertisement .gifs to share in case there are any webmasters who want to advertise LeakyBitcoins.com with their referral links. I've included some quick-and-dirty codes as well, but you may want to double check them and consider uploading the .gifs to your site (e.g. root directory, etc). Here they are:

1)

2)



http://leakybitcoins.com/?r=Your_Address" target="_blank">http://leakybitcoins.com/images/LeakyBitcoinsLogo.gif" alt="LeakyBitcoins.com">

3)

A little out of place, but I made this one for another bitcointalk thread -

Also, I'll be refilling the balance soon. At this point, I'm still losing more BTC than I'm making on ad revenue and hardly anyone has used the referral ads I've put up (freebitco.in, blue-faucet.com, moonbit.co.in, etc), so please help out with that if you can

Like I said in earlier posts, if this is a success, I'm going to make a ton of near-identical sites!

Nice! It looks like the site is up to 433 unique users. Highest reward paid so far has been 750 sats. Total paid as of this posting is 62400 sats.

I do see rewards being collected every few minutes, so hopefully they're by organic users and not bots. I'll be working more on anti-bot protection tonight.

Hey there Lukkus. I just visited your site and it looks great. I also saw you added my faucet url, so that's very cool!

I'm still researching on how to add some quality anti-bot protection to LeakyBitcoins. I've been monitoring transactions somewhat closely and nothing looks too out of place so far, but I do understand how important it is to put up a fight against the bots.

I've definitely seen that "click these buttons/pictures in order" feature on other faucets, so I'll probably try to incorporate it somehow.

Anyways, thanks for the comment and support

I also wanted to quickly mention one thing: The traffic on LeakyBitcoins seems like it's increasing exponentially. I'm obviously still determining its profitability, but if users keep helping me out by visiting the site regularly, clicking ads, using my referral links to other sites that I personally use (like Yobit and Crypto-Games), I'll create quite a few of these faucets, all with similar payouts! So let's help each other!

Hey, faucet looks nice, would you like me to feature it on my list at www.cryptocan.ca ? I take a run through this board sometimes just to try and add to our list. But it's your page, and it's up to you

Also, in agreement with what others have already said, your faucet IS susceptible to bots currently (bots now just send captchas to their respective service or pull them for manual fill, still with 0 chance of ad clicks). Have you seen other simple faucet sites with "Click the anti-bot buttons in this order" with the little bright number or words or whatever? I don't know how to get them but they seem to be a theme of FaucetBOX faucets in particular. This one simple addition is enough to protect you, so look into it!

Ty, I added the title .gif to the ANN.

Checking out http://antiblock.org/ right now.

Use some anti-adblock system here's a good one http://antiblock.org/

and, you CAN use adsense on your faucet, just put some original text(500+words) and don't incentive clicks, etc

nice gif.. put the gif on topic too

Great to hear! I went ahead and removed AdSense altogether, but I may consider contacting them directly to see what options I have. I don't want to risk getting my account banned, since I've had it for 3+ years. I suppose I can create a brand new one and chance it, but I'm not sure if they ban by individual accounts, names or IP addresses.

So, I put up some alternative ads for now. The Yobit.net & Crypto-Games.net ads are basically referral links from my personal accounts. Registering with them would be awesome and help me keep the faucet running strong. The others are from Anonymous Ad, so we'll see how those work out. I've got a bunch of other advertising sites lined up to investigate, but I don't want to add too much clutter.

Also, I changed the SolveMedia captcha difficulty from just "Revenue" to level 1. You guys might have to refresh it a few times to get a readable one, so please let me know how it goes. But hey, even if it's a little more difficult, it's only once every 30 minutes and you have a chance of winning up to 50,0000 sats

I plan on keeping a somewhat low balance in the faucet to avoid any heavy losses to bots; probably around 1 million sat max. I'll be monitoring everything for suspicious activity and will continue to do research on anti-bot countermeasures.

Feel free to post here with any questions or comments. You can also send me a PM or email [email protected].

I joined you faucet, but I have mostly hourly faucets, never mind though going to the site every one hour is ok  by me.

I removed http://freebitcoinbuilder.com/ which has a pop up that I cannot close, your site takes preference over pop ups.

BTW Adsense pays monthly at least it was worth leaving them on, or better still talk to adsense  when you have some non bitcoin news on a sub page, but make subpage open up first.

I know a faucet owner who talked to ad sense, and walked them through what users had to do.
They approved him after removing him.

I went ahead and removed AdSense and bumped the referral commission up to 10%. I'll look into adding some other types of ads later today after I get some sleep

I also plan on making Facebook & Twitter pages for the site, so be on the lookout for that.

You guys shared some awesome advice. I really appreciate it!!

Thank you for testing it. Since there seems to be a consensus on Google banning me, I'll go ahead and take those ads down for now, although I do see Google ads up on other faucets (such as bitcoinaliens.com). Do they know something we don't?

For the captcha, SolveMedia was appealing because it was easy to set up a revenue account. I can see how it doesn't seem like the most secure (mostly simple worded answers), so perhaps I should consider changing that.

The only captcha options for Faucet in a BOX are SolveMedia, reCaptcha, FunCaptcha and Are You A Human. I signed up for reCaptcha, but it doesn't look like you can monetize with it. FunCaptcha rejected my request for revenue-based ads, so I may have to try applying again. I haven't looked into Are You A Human yet, but I probably should.

Keep the feedback coming! I'm still learning

100 satoshi was sent to you on FaucetBOX.com. Thnx for coins. You should find other adds for your faucet beause ad sense will ban you, faucets are against their rules. Your security is low, you have only solve media and i think bots will eat your faucet in no time. Besides that, I think rewards are ok because you have chance to win 50000 every 30 min.
cheers

Rewards is not bad. But you are in risk, because you using Adsense in faucet, which is against their rules. Soon you may be banned, especially when you asking to click ads. There almost no faucets left which have adsense, legendary freebitco.in faucet also was banned by Google.

I appreciate the criticism. This is my first faucet, so I'm still feeling it out.

I guess the main perk of my site is the "chance" to win up to 50k sats. I've visited other faucets where they just pay 100 sats every 5 minutes, and to me that's kind of boring. Others pay a guaranteed 500-1000 sats every 60 minutes, but even that's a bit boring.

I want LeakyBitcoins to at least be a little exciting, so I chose to go with the gambling aspect where you can win a decent amount if you're lucky.

As for the referral fee, I started out low just to see how it does. What kind of % do you suggest? 10%?

Now, I don't have much experience with FaucetBOX, but I chose to use it since I'm a beginner with MySQL and wanted something user-friendly. I've enabled all of the safety features available, so hopefully I won't have too many issues with bots. Considering I only have a little over 1 million sats in the balance right now, I'll just have to see how it does.

Do you have any suggestions on what I can do differently to make it safer?

Your title say "Huge Rewards" but I see 90% chance to win only 100 satoshi and 6% to win 200 satoshi and today users consider that low reward.Chance to win 1k-50k satoshi are too small and 5% for referral is to low to anybody promote your faucet.

You use FucetBOX script which is vulnerable and completely non-resistant to bots and I not see any anti-bot protection.Generally speaking your faucet currently does not have bright future if something does not change.

Thank you for the feedback. I'll research more about AdSense and faucet compatibility, but can you provide more insight as to why I would get banned? The only thing I can think of are the little "visit our sponsors" messages I have up. I'll probably take those down just in case.
