CoinPot and partner faucets are closing down!

 CoinPot and partner faucets are closing down!

Posted: 2021-01-15 08:00 UTC

We are sad to announce that CoinPot and our 7 partner faucets will be closing down over the next few months. This decision has been made with a heavy heart for the reasons that we have detailed below. As always we are fully committed to our loyal and fantastic users and we will ensure that you have enough time to make final faucet claims and withdraw any remaining balances. Further details about this and timelines are also set out below.

Which web sites does this affect?

When will this happen?

These are the important dates that you need to be aware of...

31ST JANUARY 2021

At midnight on the 31st January 2021 the following will happen...

  • All 7 faucets will cease to operate. No further faucet claims will be possible after this time and each faucet will be replaced by a holding page advising of the closure.
  • The following functions of CoinPot will cease...

Registration (no new users will be able to register)

Lottery

Multiplier

Challenges

VIP Rewards

Mining

  • The following functions of CoinPot will continue to be available...

Sign In/Out

Conversion

Withdrawals

28TH FEBRUARY 2021

4 weeks later at midnight on the 28th February 2021 the following will happen...

  • The remaining functions of CoinPot will cease...

Sign In/Out

Conversion

Withdrawals

  • CoinPot will be replaced by a holding page advising of the closure.
  • All private user data, email addresses, security credentials etc will be removed from our servers for all 8 web sites

Why are we closing down?

The quick answer to this is that we no longer have the time or resources to maintain the faucets at the quality level you have become used to.

The longer answer...

The faucets and CoinPot have always really been run as a hobby, something we do for fun and learning outside our families and day jobs. We have always tried to earn enough from advertising revenue that we could pay for the servers and hosting costs and then pay out everything else to you as faucet claims and referral commission. This policy meant that our faucets gained a reputation as the highest paying faucets around and grew very quickly.

Added to this, the success of CoinPot with its games/mining/challenges/VIP etc meant that we were spending more and more of our spare time improving/fixing things. Unfortunately the biggest time drain has become fighting fraud and identifying cheaters. This is neccesary as otherwise our extremely small profit margins would be wiped out overnight!

During the last few years we have built an incrediby complex and successful fraud engine that analyses users claiming patterns and looks for fraud/bot usage. This grows constantly with new techniques to fight the bad guys! We are extremely proud of how this fraud fighting works - and it is this part of the CoinPot system that will live on in the future...

Starting from next month we are embarking on a major new project which we cannot reveal too much information about right now. It is within the crypto world but totally unrelated to faucets, and it will be built around the CoinPot fraud engine and all the knowledge we have accumulated from this over the years.

This means however that we just cannot justify the time we spend on CoinPot and the faucets any more. They will be closed down completely by the end of February as we have detailed above.

We will remain big believers in cryptocurrency and will continue to closely follow the faucet world. And we hope we can stay friends with everyone that we have met on this amazing journey since 2014!

Best of luck

The CoinPot team

How To Sign Up For & Maximize Coinpot Faucets

So now that you see the potential, these are the steps to sign up and get started: Step 1: Sign up for a  Coinpot MicroWallet .  This is a where each faucet will send your “claim”. When you reach your withdrawal minimum, you will want to move your crypto currency from your software wallet (CoinPot) to another wallet.

Google: Protecting users from extension cryptojacking

As the extensions ecosystem continues to evolve, we remain focused on empowering developers to build innovative experiences while keeping our users as safe as possible. Over the past few months, there has been a rise in malicious extensions that appear to provide useful functionality on the surface, while embedding hidden cryptocurrency mining scripts that run in the background without the user’s consent. These mining scripts often consume significant CPU resources, and can severely impact system performance and power consumption.   The chart above shows a recent example of CPU overutilization from hidden coin mining in an extension.  Until now, Chrome Web Store policy has permitted cryptocurrency mining in extensions as long as it is the extension’s  single purpose , and the user is  adequately informed   about the mining behavior. Unfortunately, approximately 90% of all extensions with mining scripts that developers have attempted to upload to Chrome Web S...

(Bild: Pixabay.com/Montage: Golem.de/ CC0 1.0 ) Googles Chrome-Browser wird künftig keine In-App-Erweiterungen mehr anbieten, die in irgendeiner Form Kryptowährungen schürfen.

Rund 90 Prozent aller Erweiterungen informieren demnach den Nutzer nicht, dass die jeweilige Erweiterung Krypto-Mining betreibe. Bisher war es Entw...
