Captchas are slow again...... I'm gonna put the claims to devs off. 

Yeah, captchas are slow but still better than maintenance I think devs could test on a separate testnet network server, so they wouldn't need to shutdown main captcha server for maintenance. But I noticed it's in intervals, one minute it's fast, other minute it's slow.

@Byte16 where is the main server located though? Might be a thing that some people are just further away from it

Hello everyone, it is seen that the Devs fulfilled their part of putting the operative page ... The problem now is the same as 2 weeks ago, the captchas are slow. Waiting for solution, thank you.

Hola todos, se ve que los Dev cumplieron su parte de poner la página operativa… El problema ahora es el mismo de hace 2 semanas, las captchas están lentas. Esperando solución, gracias.

Guys, I have a question. Have you had any problems with the telegram wallet to receive xrb? It's just in case.

Nice bounce in price by our dear Raiblocks! With such strong performance on the market even during stress times and only being available on low-liquidity exchanges, this is very bullish about the XRB price.

Shitcoins? Oh wow okay well you do you bro! Raiblock faucet is back hope you're happy now. Happy claiming I guess 

Hey dev I just want to say that I applaud you so much for being so hard working and professional towards faucet claimers who always nag on here about the faucet. Thank you so much for your hard work 

Most of problems should be gone, faucet enabled.

sorry bro, I'm not into shilling shitcoins. I just want raiblocks faucet to work.


Great! What's the time estimation though?

Payments are resored, web developers working to enable faucet & migrate it in a best server farm now.

Hey bro just a piece of advice while waiting for the faucet to come back online, why don't you join some signature campaigns on here? It pays very well and it will give you some time to stop worrying about the faucet. 

Devs, is everything ok? (not pushing, just asking)

If there is any way our community can help, just let us know, we will gladly help

i waited so long for the faucet, hopefully the devs will bring it back soon, thanks dev teams

Exactly, people saying this stuff doesn't make much sense.  Especially when there have already been a few times the faucet shutdown and came back.  It's not like this time it's done forever.

@RaiBlocksCommunityWill
@Byte16
what's the current state with faucet? Can we help somehow?

Some people mention the xrb faucet close effect to all altcoins get weak.

I have successfully updated wallet.




Why you write this news here? Xrb devs has never run an ICO for coins.

China has banned ICOs

https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/04/chinas-central-bank-has-banned-icos/

It is looking like a new era is coming for ICOs, at least those in China for now. In the U.S., the SEC has issued official warnings around the risks of ICOs, also known as token sales, but the Chinese government looks set to beat it to implementing regulation around the rapidly growing fundraising option.

A notice from a committee led by China’s central bank [link in Chinese] today announced an immediate ban on ICO funding, which has “seriously disrupted the economic and financial order.”

Financial news site Caixin reported [link in Chinese] reported that the committee has prepared a list of 60 exchanges which will be subject to inspection and a report. In the meantime, there will be an ICO freeze in China.

ICOs involve raising funding by creating and selling new crypto tokens — commonly based on Ethereum — to investors. That’s led to comparisons with securities, with much speculation over whether financial regulators will look to regulate the space.

The Chinese committee voiced concern that some ICOs are financial scams and pyramid schemes. That echoes a recent warning from Singapore’s MAS.

“ICOs are vulnerable to money laundering and terrorist financing risks due to the anonymous nature of the transactions, and the ease with which large sums of monies may be raised in a short period of time,” MAS, Singapore’s central bank, said in an August 1 statement.

It isn’t clearly exactly which companies are on the committee’s investigation list, but already two of China’s largest platforms for buying into ICOs — ICOage and ICO.info, which help connect companies selling tokens with buyers — have suspended their services and stopped taking on new projects. Both said their suspensions were voluntary.

The number of ICOs hosted this year has risen massively across the world. The total amount raised from token sales surpassed early stage investment spending from traditional venture capitals during the first half of 2017, according to a Goldman Sachs report.

This year to date, ICO fundraising is said to have topped $1.6 billion. Already, two companies’ coins have grown to a market cap of more than $1 billion, although the significance of that landmark is unclear since neither has a product in the market right now.

China, which houses one of the world’s most active bitcoin communities, has been a key part of the ICO boom, both in terms of companies selling tokens and buyers snapping them up.

State media firm Xinhua reported in July that Chinese companies had raised $383 million from 105,000 investors during the first half of the year.

The SEC hasn’t made a firm move in the U.S. yet — despite making announcements — so all eyes will be on China to see what kind of mechanisms can govern ICOs, and indeed whether all types of ICOs will be regulated. It’ll also be interesting to watch the potential fall out of this crackdown on the market for ICOs, and crypto currencies generally, given the prominent role played by China.

Long-time crypto watchers will recall 2013, when China banned exchanges from allowing people to buy into bitcoin and other crypto coins using the local yuan currency. The result was a huge price drop, but support for yuan deposits did return and the price if bitcoin has soared to new highs — most recently $5,000 on some exchanges.

Many china investor have gone, some exchange site have stop the trading now.

faucet let's some people make ~5$ a day, which is a lot in some third world countries
