I've read the last 3-4 pages of this topic seeking for a solution regarding the bot issue.
This month I had serious issues with bots on my faucets and because of that I didn't fund them anymore, as I was only losing BTC to those botters...
I've tried switching the captcha systems and for a while I thought that AreYouHuman captchas can't be botted, but I proved to be wrong.
Anyway, I am looking for any temporary or stable fix, if there's any, so I can continue with my two faucets...
What are my alternatives right now? Lower the rewards, so it's unprofitable for the botters (but lose a large percent of my users too)? Or implement some scripts/update faucetbox to that experimental version?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Honeypots is the best solution against bots.
Hide your old input-field for BTC-Address with left:top:-1500px; left:-500px; position: fixed;
Now, add a new one input-field with a new id/name (better are dynamic IDs/Names)
Next, replace all ID from the old field with the ID from the new field in your index.php
All users they filled the old field are bots, these address can you put into your database / blacklist.
here an example from me. Two are hidden honeypots. All are dynamic and rotate with each new refresh
Can you please post detailed instructions on setting up these honeypots?
Thanks for your help.
