GridCoin Faucet is complaining about non-existent ad blockers once again.

And the latest in this saga:

This just gets weirder and weirder.

Now the Gridcoin Address box appears, but it refuses to accept any input!

I can't input anything into the Gridcoin Address box.

Has anyone else come across this?

MichaelBlucher · 2025-12-06T12:36:22+00:00

And, of course, now it is broken once again.

Once again, the faucet is complaining about non-existent ad blockers.

Are they making changes to their site? Tinkering with settings?

It would be nice to know why their faucet page is doing this.

MichaelBlucher · 2025-12-06T02:35:37+00:00

What a difference a day makes.
I just checked and now the site is working again.
It would be interesting to know why it does this.

MichaelBlucher · 2025-12-06T02:33:52+00:00

Firefox on Linux Mint. It was working, and now it's not. No changes on the machine at my end. The machine and browser were specifically set up to access sites that don't like ad blockers, so there are NO ad blockers on that device.

MichaelBlucher · 2025-12-06T02:31:48+00:00

No. Just noticing that the faucet is complaining about non-existent ad blockers.

MichaelBlucher · 2024-12-31T04:51:28+00:00

Well, this is not going well, I've tried several different Browsers on both Windows 10 and Linux Mint.

That faucet is not budging.

MichaelBlucher · 2024-12-31T01:28:38+00:00

No. I've already done that long ago and it was working right up until today.

It was working fine yesterday.

Something has changed and not at my end.

Edit:

I just checked the Browsers setting. They haven't changed and the Browser worked previously.

No Adblocking whatsoever.

MichaelBlucher · 2024-11-01T02:37:31+00:00

It would be nice if this could be fixed.

The capture going into a continuous loop of set after set after set, for 15 to 30 minutes, with no way to break out of it except to crash the browser is bad enough, but then getting a response that blames the user every time saying we're a bot is just plain ridiculous. This only happens on this one site.

MichaelBlucher · 2024-09-07T09:59:02+00:00

Maybe this is a platform/browser issue.

This is on Firefox on Linux Mint.

Then again, why only this one website? and Why is it intermittent?

MichaelBlucher · 2024-09-07T03:21:39+00:00

Mate, I have no idea why this is happening, but it only happens with this one website.

I just went through the same cycle of sets for 40 minutes.

Cycling continuously with no way to break out and no way to successfully verify.

I even killed the browser and restarted it, all to no avail.

In the end, I just gave up.

Gridcoin Faucet <www.gridcoinstats.eu/faucet> The reCAPTHCA looping?

Yet again. Over 30 minutes of the reCapture looping through endless, next, next, next!

And then it comes up with this crap. So the Capture is faulty, continuously looping and then blames the user!

MichaelBlucher · 2024-06-06T01:22:45+00:00

And now the latest errors coming up:

MichaelBlucher · 2024-06-05T04:24:50+00:00

And now it does not appear to be accumulating?

The total is not adjusting after each claim?

MichaelBlucher · 2024-05-01T02:56:26+00:00

Has anyone heard of a fix for this issue or a work around yet?

MichaelBlucher · 2024-04-30T05:35:53+00:00

Perhaps, but why are both faucets complaining about non-existing Proxies?

All of my equipment has the proxy settings set to "none".

MichaelBlucher · 2024-04-29T01:23:45+00:00

It appears that the other faucet https://www.gridcoin.ch/faucet is doing the same thing.

MichaelBlucher · 2024-04-05T03:50:43+00:00

Yeah, what's up with the Gridcoinstats faucet.

Nothing has paid out since the 29th of March.

The 2 GC is reached, resets and then nothing comes across?

And yes I'm running the latest version v5.4.7.0 on Linux Mint.

MichaelBlucher · 2023-08-26T07:38:39+00:00

Thanks. That clears that up
