Hi there,
due to the ongoing problems and the uncertainty with MW we tested http://faucetbox.com yesterday. We migrated an MW faucet (see http://silkroad.mezzacoins.com Project) (just a testing site) with their automatic migration script and it worked really fine. We deposited Bitcoins (needs 4 confirmation but unlimited deposit amount) and already made the first payouts. It is definitely easy to migrate from MW faucets.
So we tested a few more things with planned sites and contacted faucetbox.com. The support of the guys is great, they have analysed our code, made suggestions what to do etc.
The fees are 5% of deposits which seems fair and professional to me.
A weakness is - right now - that only a few users (appr. 700 today) are using this new service. But networks need some to be built but the more faucets are changing the more users are coming. In short faucetbox.com seems to be good alternative to MW.
Hope this litte experience report helps,
cheers, Bluechipper

Only just learned about https://faucetbox.com as an alternative.
I have to day their site looks quite professional.

I agree, and they have microwallet migrate option. However I have heard about some fees involved? Anyways, if microwallet shuts down, I will migrate there.

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.
Perfectly legal and functional. But I tend to like a network more. It's more user oriented, as you said, and usually has more visibility and therefore more traffic. Not everyone can be like Zebra o Moon (chapeau baztardo!). MW hasn't paid indeed, I hope they do soon.

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 Microwallet.org really will stop soon this service and we all need find alternative?
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.
Totally agree with you. I think he made plain his desire to quit the business multiple times. I think the admin of Microwallet will be happy to see these new providers.

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...

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."?
Unknown Error
Is the host running php older than 5.2.x?
November 03, 2014, 01:21:50 PM
I use a2hosting.com and 1blu.de and both works fine for me. Maybe you should try another provider.

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
Then you will probably need to buy me a beer
just kidding, I'm not sure if it will work.
Thanks a lot As a temp measure you can ping locally:

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);

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