And I agree that FaucetBOX.com shouldn't have such faucets on the list. I don't agree, that we should ban access to FaucetBOX.com API.
Again, I disagree -I think you should. This would force them into the underground.
It's very, very easy to find these faucets. Banning the API key is precisely what should happen.
I really don't get how that could help. If a faucet owner is a scammer and don't send coins to users, what would banning him change? He will still scam as usual, he doesn't care whether his API key is working. He's already underground.
The real difficulty is that Faucetbox profits after these faucets deposit everytime. By the time a month has gone by, some of these faucets may have deposited 10 BTC - and even if they are banned by Google (in which case, they lose big time) you have still earned your 2.5%.
That's not true, as we don't earn anything from the fees. Fees are only used to cover the transaction fees we have to pay to the network. So if they don't deposit, we have less fees that we need to pay to the network. If they do deposit, we have more fees that we have to pay, but we can cover that from the fee we're charging. The sum is 0 for us.
I estimate anywhere between 100-200BTC is paid out by Faucetbox per month as a low estimate. Let's say you earn 2.5% of that. You probably receive 100k + visits per day to the Faucet balance screens, which are Adsense enabled blocks...Faucetbox probably earns a fairly decent sum each month - regardless of the behaviour of the users.
You don't have to estimate that, it's public:

You skipped my question: what Xapo does that we don't?
