yep bots are bad.

I think faucetbox faucets mite be something that will die off soon because of bots and not being able to make profit I think we are going to see more signup and register faucets is the best way to avoid and catch bots out before they take you money.

Or one could code/develop his own script or one could heavily modify the faucetinabox script.

I'm actually considering that using the FIB api which seems to be pretty straight forward and simple. I'm also wondering about a custom script which includes some kind of signup mechanism but I think that would stop honest user from coming due to the extra "work" for a few satoshis. Although you probably have to up the rewards a little.

Here is the thing, if I make it open-source, would you have the same problems again? I'm convinced open-source, in the long run, makes software more secure due to the amount of "eyes" going over the source code. On the other hand, which might be an issue here with FIB, real smart scammers/bot-coders have access to the code as well.

As said before, I'm pretty new here so I'm sure it was already discussed. Of course, I don't mind to put in efforts by reviewing FIBs source code and and share my thoughts.

Cheers guys and galls
