thanks for your sentiments sir..
I look at it as a negative experience, nothing else...
it also is an opportunity to move forward with lesson's learned
I'm a somewhat newbie to the faucets and would rather go through the tribulations now, than get raped for $1000's later.
Not every bad experience is devastating, look at it as a learning curve..
Onwards and upwards.. !!!
If you already established your faucet, try to utilize Google Analytics to track bots and spiders on your site.
I'm also using sir Gifted's xapo faucet script. But I change the solve media captcha to Google ReCaptcha and I didn't activate the direct to wallet address payment as it will attract more bots to my faucet, IMO.
Good luck to your journey!
go into the index.php in the root and find this line---->
$view['main']['result_html'] = '
Wrong captcha!
$message = "Wrong captcha";
}
Put this code right under it--->
if(@fsockopen($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], 80, $errstr, $errno, 1))
{
$view['main']['result_html'] = '
Bots not allowed !! If you are not a bot and not on a proxy, i still cant help you !
$message = "Proxy";
goto error;
}
$q = $sql->prepare("select * from users where LOWER(username) = LOWER(?) or ip = ? order by claimed_at desc");
$q->execute(array($username,$ip));
$row = $q->fetch();
