Topic: How to Protect my faucet site from bots? - page 3. (Read 5557 times)
I found a great topic to prevent bots, just go to this link on micro earnings section. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stop-bots-proxies-from-using-your-faucet-1211353. and also using SolveMedia captcha is good though.
I will suggest fun captcha
You mean like those things to spin and put the wheel on a bicycle? yeah, those are fun the first time, later just annoying... 
Please some one tell me how can I protect my btc faucet site from bots.. I am loosing my satoshi without traffic.
These are some methods available to solve your problem: Add a captcha, use server-side cookies, use cookies, require e-mail address, require bitcointalk account, require mobile phone or block all proxies.
As always in technology, there is more than one solution.
Asking for email, bitcointalk account, or mobile how do your verify? Seems like someone could use dummy info and still botting.
I think making capatcha have a time limit is possibly best way. If it has to be solved say in 30 seconds, it will be hard for a service to get it solve it and send back in that time. But I would focus more on amount of time and fine tune it.

I don't know about this thing, but i think you ask this topic on micro earnings section. because i'm people there will help you about this. many faucets owner are there.
Do not use the words Captchas as they are easily solved by the Captcha solving service
detect your traffic if they are coming from Tor network
store your "submit" button dynamically and give them a unique name on each visitor request
might save you some from the bots

Add doubled captcha to prevent the faucet site from the bots. Automated bots easily clear the simple captchas easily so make some hard captcha for clearing.
Please put captcha on your site to prevent fraud bots.
there are service that solve captcha for you, so this is not a solution
you cna do besides adding captcha making the faucet sending money every 5 min, so they need to spend more on captcha sovler, to have the same amount of satoshi of a faucet that pay you every 1 hour
this mena that it will not worth it for them
I would think it's already not worth it. Faucet pay's
80 Percent - 200 satoshi - $0.0008013000
20 percent - 300 satoshi - $0.0012022800
Just a quick google it looks like your losing money. 5k solves for 7 dollars.
80 percent - 3.2052
20 percent - 1.2022
So spend 7 dollalrs and get 4.40 approx seems like crappy deal. Only way they are making money if if it's automated and does not use human services. And if that your talking about thousands of views and sends. Unless someone knows some site that solves 5k for on average less than 4.40 dollars.
you did not know about this captcha solver which is cheaper $2.5 for 5k captcha, so it would be profitable
2captcha.com
You would be right then. I have not used a bot on anything in a long time so kinda out of look on pricing.
OP what you might do is find a way to make captcha only valid for so many seconds. So give it 15 seconds to enter the captacha. Chances are it is not going to send to service get solved and anwser be sent back in that amount of time.
Or you need to make it where you only send to address X amount of times per hour. Your goal is to stop basically slow it down where it's not worth botting since it appears it is profitable.
Add something that can't be filled in by automatic captcha services. Check a extra box before proceed and some faucets got also scammed by imacros scripts.
I will suggest fun captcha
I read a lot of complains about recaptcha, you should try using fun captcha as I think it is stronger than Google's captcha.
But I do not think "Anti bot" is a good choice because users hate it and will abandon your faucet

that's one of the most common problems, web owners trend to use a very high and difficult captcha that, in the end, will scare away users from their site. Is really difficult to find a "perfect" solution, btw can you give us the link to your site? i really want to check it out.
you can find the link in his profile
@OP
I see you are using faucetbox script. Do you have latest version? Can't be your private key compromised?
try FUN captcha, I have heard it's a good bot_stopper.
Another solutions depends on your skills. Can you code? Add some button, another text to copy (check input), choose two of three pictures while one is upside down etc.
