My two faucets are here to stay and they are definitely not scammer faucets... Help me get them to become the best faucets

Bit-freebie.com
Satoshipalace.com



I used to have these in my bookmarks, paid out quite a lot, it was always a bust website, for sure the got hit by bots on a few occasions.
But now the websites are operating , message at both urls is

Forbidden: a malicious file has been detected. Detected as: Botnet.h.FaucetBox-1

I wonder how they did in getting any returns on them, or did they lose profits, ended up in the red.

i used to have my faucet up and running everyday. but i am afraid, my hosting company decided to cut off all the websites using faucet box scripts for security reasons. i have no idea. i will be taking a break from this for a while. when i come back, i will have a website like bitcoinaliens running. i have to go and learn more coding and algorithms to beat these ignorant and greedy robot users. i mean come on, i am trying to help, stop taking advantage and let other people enjoy free bitcoins too.

Can you post some urls to these scam faucets so we are aware of which ones you are talking about

It would be really hard to collect all of the urls and put them in one place, as there are many "dry" faucets out there. Some people have tried to do this before, but abandoned the project as it was too extensive.

Just to make it clear,

if a faucet suddenly doesn't pay, it doesn't necessarily mean its dry.

I personally have had a major headache because faucetfly (my service provider) stopped processing the claims.

their stats were showing paid, but faucetbox users were not receiving their payouts

this cost me a lot of time and a major amount of satoshi to fix, even though my faucet had over 0.1 btc in funds.

As a faucet owner, I'd like to back up this claim. Sometimes, faucet owners will even edit something by accident and not notice! If this happens, try contacting the owners, and if they are legit, they will try their best to fix the problems as soon as they can.

All sites that offer 1000-3000 satoshis every 5-20 minutes with high payout threshold. With the avaibility of micropayment systems and negligible network fees, high payout threshold sites are always scam.

Not true, we aren't!
See our latest Payout Proofs.
Maybe some other faucets are scam, but we are NOT.

I don't know why people even bother to claim on that kind of faucets.. It suppose to be - resolve captcha - hit claim - take coins. You did your part with giving traffic/add revenue to owner, and owner should pay you for that.
And tbh there is no way someone can give 1-3/5/10K satoshi every 10 min, its minimum BTC1.5/day if you have 1000 users...
Its just people don't want to believe faucets can be scam because only thing they invest is their time..

Why do you bother with faucets in the first place? You won't get a damn unless you cheat them. And because people are cheating them, not they are also cheating people Cheesy

After you make a claim you should always check FaucetBox,most people do not check and claim for nothing.Some faucets have new trick if you claim and get "safety limits",,on second try they send only 1 satoshi.Recently they use hidden adds which are located under address box and captcha when you open faucet,to avoid click on them you must scroll page up.I mark them on my faucet list,I think that this is not an honest way to earn.

You are quite right, as most of those faucets which give more than 1000 satoshi per hour than its better to be quite away from those faucets. Don't waste time and your effort on those scams.

Hi guys,

I just want to point a fact of a new trending wave of high paying faucet that are actually a pure scam

Generally with high threshold in their own payment system or pretending to be attached to faucetbox and showing the reward message but actually they send nothing.

For note it's not that hard to setup it by just touching some lines of code in the faucetbox script you can fake balance and fake payment message

User resolve the Captcha claim the reward but when you check your address in faucetbox payment history there is no payment  or the amount sent is much lowest than showing in the payment message on the faucet website 

This a  warn to new or unaware user before using any faucet check first the legibility and always check your payment history in faucetbox addresss checker

Also one more but not a general factor is ads banner .; a faucet with no ads banner is highly suspicious

Take care
