Re: How to Protect my faucet site from bots?

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.
