The only foolproof way to try and stop the bot is to check the HTML DOM of the previous page on submission, as I believe in order for the captcha service to work code needs to be injected on the site (This is as I understand it, I'm not 100% sure). However, I am unsure how this would be done and it would also likely take up a large amount of resources to do so, making the script unusable for most smaller owners. It really is a problem.

Unfortunately I believe that wouldn't help either. The bot uses iMacros, which means that it doesn't inject any Javascript into the page. It injects a driver into the browser itself (just like Selenium if you're familiar with it). It's undetectable by any valuable means.

We can, but that won't help. Captcha solving services work like that:

1. bot opens the page and makes a screenshot of the captcha
2. screenshot is sent to people that sits all day solving captchas
3. they read the captcha and sends the answer (so it doesn't matter what's there as long as they can just read it and provide the answer)
4. bot enters the aswer

So the bot could just send the math problem and get a response, just like with other captchas.

Thanks a lot. This is what I looking for.
I hope that there will not be problems with copyright  Grin Grin
Just leave the footer link on the page and everything should be fine!

does it exist any stable faucetbox script, except default fb script?
Elbandi's Minifaucet script has an option to use FaucetBox as a payment processor.
Apart from that, you would have to edit an existing script to add FaucetBox payments or create your own.

Any news about banning a bots?

Still working on it. We must make sure it won't decrease performance too much and that it won't hit legitimate users.

can you add another step that asks the user to solve a math problem after they fill out the captcha?

Microfaucet ( http://www.freebitcoinfaucet.org/ ) works just fine after migration ( https://faucetbox.com/microwallet-migration ).

also any chance to have these stats added to the script?...


A lot of those stats just require some MySQL tables and queries, they should be pretty easy to implement yourself with a small amount of knowledge. (Keep in mind that any code below hasn't been tested and is just from the top of my head. It's also been a while since I used PHP and MySQL properly, so I may make a few errors here and there).

For example, the total users could be created by adding this to line 953 of index.php:
Code:
$totalUsers = $sql->query("COUNT (address) FROM Faucetinabox_Addresses");
$data['totalUsers'] = $totalUsers->fetch();

And then adding this where you wanted the number to appear on your template:
Code:
Users Total users paid: ['totalUsers']; ?>

Total paid and Total paid daily would basically need a new table (E.G overallStats) with two rows (E.G totalPaid, totalDaily), then simply have a MySQL query add the user's reward to the corresponding row every time they claimed from your faucet. Something like this around line 1190:
Code:
$q = $sql->prepare("UPDATE overallStats SET totalPaid = totalPaid + ?");
$q->execute(array($reward));

$q = $sql->prepare("UPDATE overallStats SET totalDaily = totalDaily + ?");
$q->execute(array($reward));
Then, create a CRON job which runs at midnight every day to overwrite totalDaily back to 0. Something along those lines should work.

i don't understand what happen with the faucetbox support,  i sent 2 tickets and any answer yet  like   a week ago.

my faucet is still on review , pending of approval .  
i just update the information and sent  the new data for a review, still waiting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
www.refbackptc.com

I'm not responsible for support and approving faucets anymore, I'll ask my coworker about that.

However I see that you have the "claim" button overlayed over AdSense ad. While I'd accept such faucet to our list, you'll get banned by Google AdSense sooner or later, as it's against their Terms of Service.

If faucetbox The Transaction ID is a clickable link to the Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain reader at blockr.io
At blockr.io it says "Unconfirmed transaction!"
If we take the SAME Transaction ID to the Major, Luxembourg based BlockchainInfo BTC Block Explorer:- https://blockchain.info/search
We can see that that the problem is : Transaction rejected by our node. Reason: The Maximum number of outputs in a single transaction is 200

Can you explain what do you want to do with this issue?

is anyone have problem with payment from faucetbox?
on faucetbox dashboard everything looks ok, but after 24h on block reader Unconfirmed transaction!
for the first time in the last year I have problem with FB.

It was already explained in this or previous thread. Transaction with more than 200 outputs is completely fine (all faucetbox.com transactions were so big since the beginning), it's just Blockchain.info that doesn't display them until they're confirmed. Now the problem is that they're not getting confirmed, but here the problem is that Bitcoin network is often under attack lately and there's huge backlog of unconfirmed, spammy transactions.
Such delays already happened once (27 June I believe) and transactions from that day got confirmed after ~3 days.
You can see current backlog here: https://tradeblock.com/blockchain . On the right under "Mempool" graph there's "Transactions: 33,935". ~34000 unconfirmed transactions is a huge number and it's causing problems.
We do use the estimatefee feature that automatically increases the fee (and it actually did that), but it reacts too slow sometimes.

So I'm really sorry for inconvenience. I assure you that it will get through eventually.

EDIT: I think that actually all FaucetBOX.com transactions are confirmed now. Can you confirm that?

I don't care they are bots or real. Because advertiser not counting visitors from VPS IP.

Reverse DNS queries can be slow (I remember having problems with timeouts on faucets because of that), but we'll investigate that, thanks Smiley

if the advertisers know the VPS IPs, maybe it is possible to ask them if an IP is valid or not, or retrieve the same list as the one they use?

Hello,
I have suggestion for you.

How about banning from hostname? not IP address or IP range.

Example
This is hostname VPS list:
XXXXX.XXXXXX.compute.amazonaws.com
XXXXXX[Suspicious link removed]ltr.com
XXXXXXX.static.cloud-ips.com
XXXXXXX.members.linode.com
XXXXXXX.softlayer.com
etc

I don't care they are bots or real. Because advertiser not counting visitors from VPS IP.

Reverse DNS queries can be slow (I remember having problems with timeouts on faucets because of that), but we'll investigate that, thanks Smiley

Good. Accept BitCet on Faucet List now. It still "Waiting for approval" Cheesy
