thank for all  for sharing this is good information for all


   

Antibot links puzzle should be unique the purpose of antibot links is to make every faucet unique so no bot can work similarly on every faucet and also change antibot link puzzles daily so everyday new puzzles means programmer have to change his bot every day so it'll cost him lot money and time to create a new bot for your faucet .

These are all fine. I want earn more money from faucet. Please guide me get more money in faucets. If there any work for bitcoin also let me know:). BTC
You can Earn money from faucets in 2 ways..
1: as a faucet user
2: as a faucet owner.
earning money as a faucet user is a free method. you can earn bitcoin for free claiming rewards in many faucets..
but earning money as a faucet owner is a full time investment work.. as a faucet owner you can earn more but you can also loose your money sometime. because profit as a faucet member depends on advertisement networks, faucet's visitors, viewers..

You really shouldn't be hosting a faucet. They are simply being botted 24/7, and there is very much no real traffic.

But you could implement the "anti not" buttons, but that's just a pain in the arse.

will you tell me. where can i get "anti not" bottons? and how to implement these on my faucet? faucetbox only support 4 captcha services..

It's not called "anti not", they are called "anti bot."

You can find antibot links here: http://bit.makejar.com/labs/anti-bot-links-200/install.php

Make sure to back up your faucet before you make any changes!

Yeah you right. Bot always have a way to rape our faucets. btw why not build a faucets like a game ? i mean like farmsatoshi.com, it's so good though. so people come to your faucets also play your game.

You're right, it is better way. But unfortunately people don't want to play intresting games, they want to get fast freebie.

Nah man, not all people like that. I mean some people play that games like investing for long-term, so in the end you can enjoy your passive earning. and yeah, it's not fast way to earn free bitcoin.

Protecting a Faucet site from bots in nowadays is not an easy task. Bots are getting stronger day by day.
Faucetbox supports only 4 captcha services witch are
1: Recaptcha
2: Solvemedia
3: Fun Captcha
4: Are You Human.

but the bots have hacked all of them. None of them is safe any more. May be xapo support more captcha services which may save your captchas from bots.

These are all fine. I want earn more money from faucet. Please guide me get more money in faucets. If there any work for bitcoin also let me know:). BTC

There is a subreddit for what you are looking. But most of the offers here are computer-related since the job offerers are webmasters. Just visit this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jobs4bitcoins

I think you need to have a homepage that they need to login or signup with their wallet address then use fun captcha dont use text captcha they can easily use a bot for it. Image captcha or fun captcha is better to prevent bot. Also try the anti-bot script i forgot if where's the thread of this anti-bot script you can download it for free and add it to your index. i think i found this script in micro-earnings.
And i think there's a service that they can protect your site for some bots try to find it in micro earnings
Here's the link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=212.0

Good luck and i hope you can fix it soon..

And maybe make IP limit to prevent bot to constantly accessing your website Smiley

The problem of limiting IP is that you will be limiting access for a legit user as well instead of just bots. People that use bots to claim faucet isnt stupid to use the same IP over and over again, most people use vpn and some other tools which could enable them to change IP as many times as needed
Hmm..
Maybe limit the access for the website only for the bots
When the IP is blacklisted the bot can't access it constantly and thus rendering the bot pretty much useless Tongue
Though i think anti bot script is enough as it can be effective when used right Wink

But gamification of faucet sites provides benefit to the bored faucet claimers. It's lame when you are typing captchas all day long.

This is a good Idea.. but for making a this type of site. we need our own skills. like coding, designing and programming.. and with faucetbox we can get a ready made faucet script. thats the reason why every one can't make his own faucet.

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

I agree with you, i myself had abandoned many faucets just because of those anti bot links, sometimes they are hidden behind ads and its very hard to click them so users skip those faucets which are hard for claiming a few satoshi, and yes, fun captcha is far better then google recaptcha i guess and i see very few faucets out there use recaptcha now a days, most of them are using fun captcha.

Fun Captcha Now No More Accepting new members.. It is Request based service. when your request approved than you can use fun captcha. but nowadays. they don't approving any requests..

Oh, then you should be using solvemedia as people said in their posts, but fun captcha was a better option, you are unfortunate that they aren't accepting new requests.

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...
Better to use it rather than losing your money to bots Wink
Also, OP can try to use anti ad-block and anti bot script
The only downside in this i think is that the fact your server will get heavy as there are many scripts to load Sad
And maybe make IP limit to prevent bot to constantly accessing your website Smiley
Now I started Using Solvemedia. some one told me that with solvemedia I can earn also.. lets see. what will happen, may be solvemedia good than recaptcha..
Thank you for your suggestions.

Hi! I think you should use:

  • Antibotlinks script
  • Bad behavior script

This is an initial protection of your faucet as well as proxy blocking and setting 30 minutes faucet limit.

Are they compatible with faucetbox script? I am using faucetbox, faucet box only support 4 captcha services, recaptcha, solvemedia, fun captcha and areyouhuman,

Are you looking at IP address?  I'm guessing they are not using proxy thousands of times to get a profit.  Chances are blocking IP's could stop it.

That is what I would focus on is IP's.  Even if they use proxy's check and see IP to bitcoin address.  If IP enters so many address's over a certain period ban it.   So many options.

How much are you actually losing to bot activity?

I lost 12 Million Satoshi to bot activity.. That is very big loose for me as newbie in this industry.. May be I will can't able to run my faucet anymore.. I am trying hard to recover it. Lets See..

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.
Already posted here before, please check it on last page

I think that was not bot, but the user use many IP to claim your faucet in one time, i already try to use anonymox or hola(chrome) and it's works, actually not 100% web we can use this method

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.

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 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.

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

Most replies in this topic are correct, but there's a dedicated thread from somebody who is making an open source tool to protect faucets... There was a lot of usefull information, and a big discussion in said thread.
I'm to lazy to use the searchfunction ATM, you can either search for yourself, or i'll edit this post when i'm having more time Wink

Some people do resell tokens for captcha services for lesser price, and no thats quite an unrealistic calculation you offered. You can get much more captcha solving token for lesser amounts. And some services like 9k.eu offer P2P captcha solving.

Please some one tell me how can I protect my btc faucet site from bots.. I am loosing my satoshi without traffic.

1)Add more than 1 captcha if 1 is not enough.
2) add anti-bot text where you can show text randomly on webpage before they claim satoshi.
3) text they need to click in particular order.

These might help you against bots.
from where can i get anti bot text?

Search about captcha is what people use to prove it's a person some are better then others.  I would guess your site is not worth a bot as paying to get capatcha solved vs amount paid I see losing money.

What is your current protection?  And are you sure they are not just using something like ad-blockers which could effect your traffic on ads?

I am using google recaptcha service. but I am loosing my faucet's balance without any traffic...! I am checking my traffic on live stat tracker. It is not about Advertisments sir.
Are you sure you live stat tracker is working. I have not idea how to implement anti-bot text but I have seen in many faucet sites.
