Topic: Sharefaucet.xyz (SSL) CELEBRATING 3 MONTHS ONLINE! - page 5. (Read 5803 times)

torbente,

My account was banned this morning and I wrote to the support.
Hope I'll be unbanned since I had no intention to cheat the faucet.

Daily share pot is increasing in the way our members base growths. It was 50K at the beginning and is now 150K.

Why we use this system?

- We can know how many satoshis we will pay. This is true even for the instant payment. If the script detects that one day there are 15% more claims than the previous day, there will be not more shares that day; the share button will not appear for the users, instead, a message "We do not have more shares today". This is usefull to avoid drastical falls in the SPS value too, because an unexpected big growth in faucets just minds one thing: BOTS.
- Discourage bots for the low instant reward (100 sats)
- We avoid massive cashouts; you cant imagine how many users cashout EVERY 100 satoshis; if the reward is higher, this percentage will growth.
- Every user who claims one share, will return the next day to get his piece of the pot.
- We save a good ammount of satoshis in dead claims. Around 30% of the shares are never claimed. It allows us keep a good SPS for active users.

As for manual payments, i guess you are talking about the way freebitco.in works. It is a good idea, but honestly, i need to learn how i could implement it. Meanwhile, i were thinkin in manual cashouts with 5K treshold (to be sure there will be not many request daily) and payments every day.

I don't mind thresholds, if I make a decent daily claim. Your site helps with the bonus share reward (if people claim several times a day, they can make over 1k from their share commission), but your site doesn't have a lot of users yet either, so this allows a high share price at the end of the day. Unless you plan on increasing your share bonus when you get more members, this can be a bad thing for share holders as the site grows popular.

Best thing to do in your predicament (imho) is do manual pay every so few days (or once a week), with no threshold. Just let your users know that they need to request it before so many days/hours of your manual sending. This way you can do a blockchain, and only have to pay one fee (I think that's how it works).

I would still keep faucetBOX available; and don't worry, we all know that the faucetBOX thing is not your doing.

Faucetbox collapse is not our fault... but neither our users responsability, so we will priorize direct cashouts over other functionalitys we are working now (add email, exchange, etc)

Of course, we need know how we could handle with the commisions. Our first idea will be to have direct cashouts without any fee; if it is too expensive, we could try to manage it manually from an online wallet (xapo?) Any ideas about this? We consider ridiculous some faucets with a minimum of 25K satoshis for direct payments and 10K of fees!!

Thanks for the nice pay

I just saw this site advertised on yours:

http://popisle.com/publishers/

Maybe you'll want to check it out? Their ad said "banner=money", I got the impression that if you placed a banner on your website, they'll pay you. I may just be dreaming though.

As the first post says, our bussiness model is to run for a long term. Even with adsense ban and all other add networks giving us more troubles than money, the faucet itself is not the only content to be implemented. Many more are going to ble added, but honestly, im the main developer and i have a real work (also in internet) which leaves me not enough time as i expected at the begining. But the goal is to make this page profitable, and the 50$ spent until now was a good investment (i learned a lot from BTC community)

Something is sure. In the next month the page will have many new contents.

hope after returning much bigger rewards if possible, good job for at least still alive within a couple of months thank you.

Thats bad luck: faucetbox is not working today, our anticipated celebration for 2 months online...

But we try to learn from every situation. We are implementing direct withdraws, so our users can get their money even if faucetbox keeps offline for a long term.

Thanks for your support.

Wow, what a nice informative reply, thank you!

As for the feedback, when I collect enough shares, I'll send the suggestion in (I have a few more to do before it'll let me)

In the stats, there is a field SPS (Satoshis per Share):  it shows how much you will receive for each share you have in the current day in real time. What it minds? It is calculated every time the page is loaded, and is a projection for the day based in the hour and the number of shares claimed. Lets use an example: at 6:00 AM there are 100 shares already claimed the present day. It represents a projection of 400 shares for the entire day, so the SPS will be Daily Pot/400. Now, lets say at 1:34 PM (13:34 H) there are 317 shares already claimed; since this field have minute precision, we have

in 814 minutes ---> 317 shares, so we could expect in 1440 minutes ---> 560 shares; the SPS would be (daily pot / 560 ). Of course, this numbers changes all the day, but it is a good reference, along with the last 10 days SPS, also showed in the same page. So, from shares only, you will earn: shares x SPS (example: yesterday, you had 2 shares and SPS was 137, that is the 274 satoshis you earned from shares) Do not forget that every share claim pays 100 satoshis instantly, so, the real value for every share was 237, just filling a ridiculous simple captcha. Yes, there are antibots and recaptcha to cashout, but you do not need cashout everyday, right? And we also offers something innovative in faucets: You can request partial withdraws (instantly too), so you don lost the benefit from the Confidence Reward.

Our server have GMT time. If the script do not detected nothing suspicious the finishing day, the daily pot is shared less that 1 hour after midnight. Of course, some days we need more time to check bots, VPN and other issues, but in 2 months it never took more than 3 hours. Anyway, we will look forward for your suggestion, maybe not a timer but a date-time info in the header. (submit a support ticket in the web letting us know that you had the idea por the timer and your account will receive a nice reward)

Hope you enjoy our site.

Hey, is the confidence from the 100k from yesterday? Never mind... How do I know how much I go from the 100k pot? It doesn't tell me.

Ah, damn, that sucks

Hey, you know what would be nice? A timer on the site that let's people know when the next day is coming.

July 26th, our shared pot will be 200,000 satoshis, and starting july 27th it will be 150,000 DAILY

If you need more info, just visit our site or read the entire thread.

Thank you.

Could you explain this more? Do you mean this is just your balance?

We added a new functionality:

http://sharefaucet.xyz/feedback.php

Have you seen this before in a faucet? Every one can let his feedback about our site, uncensored.
We set a minimun of 20 shares to avoid trash talkers to just blame when they can not claim from their proxy.

And tomorrow... July 26th (2 months online!

150 satoshis INSTANT with every share! (tomorrow promotion)
200,000 satoshis to share! (from july 27th, it will be set to 150,000 everyday)
48 prizes of 1,000 satoshis wil be randomly paid with shares (2 per hour)

Come and join...

Its very good isn't it one of the best websites that I have ever visited, Sometimes I cannot believe how much this website has paid out, but wow I have had a lot of satoshi from here, all thanks to the owner.

And for changing the captcha back to normal again, thank you.

13746 satoshis to my faucetbox, thank's Sharefaucet Admin.

We want present an apologize if the current captcha system becomes too difficult. We are just doing some bot-detection tests. It will be removed in 1-2 days.

Now, some thoughts...

Adsense banned our account just 4-5 days after we launched this site. (of course, we missed all balance there)
Adhitz banned our site for their ads 15 days later.
Adalso looks like it became scam, and we did not received a single satoshi from them (yet, maybe never). We have 624,000 Satoshis there.
U-ads have our account "pending" more than 1 month ago, and our first withdraw is pending since 2016-07-16 17:18:04. (only 134.000 satoshis, nothing important after all).
We started with Mellow 6 days ago. In those days, we earned 160,000 satoshis with them, but since they have a high fee to withdraw, we still do not received a single satoshi.
A-ads payd always until now: we earned 175.000 satoshis from them since site launch.

As you can check ( http://sharefaucet.xyz/stats.php ) the site shared more than 7,000,000 satoshis from its launch, so our cash balance is -6,800,000 satoshis (-45$ at current price), plus domain, hosting, external services, and specially, countless time to develop a site from scratch, to make it as secure and usefull as possible. And we are going to invest more, raising the daily shared pot, installing an SSL certificate, and continue PAYING INSTANTLY, WITHOUT MINIMUM, to ALL OUR USERS.

We are not making money and we always paid. We do this as a hobby, as a lesson, as a practice to learn a lot about web design and enter into the bitcoin comunity.

So...

If the external service we use to detect if you are using a proxy says that you are using one, IT IS NOT US. If you had 1,000 satoshis in your account and you forgot to switch off the VPN, it is your fail, NOT US. If the external service is wrong and you are not using a proxy, its their fault, NOT US. So, do not blame that we are "stealing" your money or your time.

If you consider our faucet  payments are too low, then do not use it. We plan to include many more contents and services in the future; starting with a faucet is just a good (and cheap) way to enter into the BTC worldwide comunity with a good reputation.

Thanks to you all

Ok and what about this:
 - 1% Confidence reward. Every day, you will be credited with the 1% of your balance as a reward for your confidence in our project. (You need to login at least once to earn it)

Can you add password to your site, you have 1% bonus to balance, and you can login with other users address and make withdrawal

You are right, actually anyone can log into your account and make a withdraw... to your faucetbox account. The user will loss his 1% CR (not a single satoshi from balance) but what will win the "hacker" in this case? Nothing. If the hacker dont have profit, why take the time to do it?

Anyway, the "Add email" option will be implemented in few days (maybe hours); You can link your account with your email and then request the option to autorize all operations via email. Why in this way? Because by this way we dont have to worry about "passwords database steals". You manage your account from your email: it is the safest way.
