Topic: [EDU] Faucet risks - page 3. (Read 85825 times)

I was just answering another thread about scamming through a faucet, well, kinda.  It is not something that I see making enough quick cash to really use as a scam.  The best money is through referrals and that is pretty low.  The only true scam I came up with was to feed your own addresses in.  This would actually be a bitch if using some micro payment site like faucetbox.

This is the only way I see to scam, making enough money to make it worth it.

1. Generate a bunch of addresses for your wallet and load them in a file.

2. Find another sites faucet and load that faucet within your own site.  Something like an iFrame, but with a little more scripted flare.

3. This is the fun part.  You would literally need your own micro payment script, like faucetbox and then have to CSS it just like theirs, a nearly complete clone or you would have to capture and parse the faucetbox data as it is accessed and alter the data and redisplay.

4. So, when I hit your faucet, enter my address, then an address from the scammers list is substituted.  The third party faucet pays my address and if someone hits the faucetbox link, then the scammer has to show the cloned version of faucetbox, with the users address or grab faucetbox and replace the address shown there, but with real data from the address from the scammer. 

This is still action packed with issues, but is the only true way to make the kind of money that a scammer is looking for, as I see it.

thanks for reply

Very beginner friendly and throughout tutorial! Thank you for educating us


Another risk related faucets is due to the amount of inexperienced users. Attackers know this and for instance, a malicious script writer could hide one or more malicious lines in his script and get the user, who doesn't know that scripting language or just tired and doesn't recognize the threat, run it telling "It's the source code, you can see it LOOKS completely safe"...

I'll stay away from faucet and will take my precautions if decide to try any.

Faucet only good if you are using free internet and power and computer.
I'm paying $10 dollars a month for my internet now just going to faucets would earn me $20 a month if I put all my time for them.
So $10 dollars a month without power bill hardware usage and most important thing my time, how could it even be considered by anyone?
Just put $100 dollars in best cloud mining site(one that is not scam) and you can earn those faucets earnings without all the work and clicks and stuff. I strongly recommend everyone just take a moment and think about it before filling faucet admins pockets.

Of course if by any chance any faucet gives 5000 satoshi every 10 minutes and lets you withdraw when reaching 20,000 satoshi, tell me.
Otherwise they just make you go and click and when their site achieve a certain rank and traffic in short amount of time, google pays them.
So what they do is to repeat the process over and over making lots of money and either give 10% of that money to users(the ones doing the work) and keep 90% for themselves or just not paying at all what so ever.
When ever you found any faucet to give 90% of income to users, let me know. yes 90% because admin is doing nothing and over time numbers of users would grow high enough to make every one happy. but no people are greedy or just plain thieves and scammers.
Every one is looking for a way to fu** others by any means.

I am looking for something to make 0.25-0.50 BTC/day not per Month and not to click like a donkey 6 months to get results ... I know to do things in my field, to click you need only to be alive unfortunately and how "big is the effort" same "big is the income", I do not like lazy jobs   

To be honest, I make well over 0.1BTC/month from these faucets and "nano tasks" with my current referrals. In a month from now, those earnings will be 0.2BTC. In 3 months, it will be 0.25BTC. In 6 months time, I should be making at least 0.5BTC/month just from these faucet sites. And the best part? I barely have to visit them and make the claims myself.

If you know what you're doing, you can make quite some money doing it.

Thank you very much for writing this thread... very informative

You're too good when it comes to referral program, keep it up. But how will you make sure that the faucet operator is not a fraud?

This was taken after a week of joining that site

Lol, I'm confused about your earnings. How many days did those referrals went up?

You're earnings are too small. With over 1,900 referrals, you got over 100k satoshi only?

That's their new style now, first they will make the claim higher like up to 5000 satoshis per 10 minutes, after that if more users registered to their faucet, they will decrease it like up to 1000 satoshis per 10 minutes. They will also ban users that is more active and the reason will be "Your account has been banned Reason of ban: Multiaccounts from same IP. One of most strict rule of this faucet is to use only 1 acc per ip." even though you are not using multi accounts. :3 They will just let you refresh their website over and over again to earn more using their Advertisements, and in the end, they will not pay you.

Every thing in live are risky,so no risk no earn.

Referring people to faucet is big risk yes, next moment faucet maybe dont exist or dont pay anymore. Happened many times.

I definitely trust you



Now imagine this across a network of faucets. NeilLostBitcoin is absolutely correct; referrals is where it's at!

REFERRALS is the key here. Trust me. 

Faucets don't seem that profitable to me, maybe you should not give up too quickly ? I guess if you try hard enough ?
