Hello,
My faucet link: http://bitcoinbar.xyz/
Everything is fine here, but when users solve the solve media captcha and click on the get reward button, it says, "Could not open socket".
I have tried to use recaptcha by google, but when users solve it and click on the get reward button, it says, "Invalid Captcha Code".
Is there anyone, who can help me for this issue?
Thanks.

My faucet link: (edit: i cant post my faucet link coz got suspicious..lol)
I also got same problem with alamin99..Im using faucetbox script with free hosting provider.

When using recaptcha..some user will get the invalid captcha code notification. And when used solvemedia, will get could not open socket notification.

So i did ask others faucet owner and most of them also feel a bit weird of this issue. Lucky i found this post and got alamin on9 at the same time. If any1 who come to this post for the answer to fix this issue

The answer is change your hosting provider

Here are some copy paste from solvemedia FAQ (http://solvemedia.com/faq)

Why am I getting a "could not open socket" error?
The error that you are seeing means that your webserver is unable to establish a connection with our servers.

First, try pinging verify.solvemedia.com from your server. Your server must be able to communicate with servers associated with that address. If pinging fails, check your server settings (firewall, etc.) to make sure that connections to verify.solvemedia.com are not being blocked.

Some web hosting services have policies that restrict outbound requests on port 80, which our PHP library currently requires. Your hosting service's policy and restrictions are entirely up to them and beyond our control. We will continue to explore other implementation options, but for now you have to resolve the issue with your hosting service.

If your hosting service does not block requests on port 80 and all your settings are correct, but the problem persists, submit a trouble ticket.
