Gavin, why don’t you just block all served Bitcoin addresses? Would it be easy to generate them automatically?

It is easy to generate them automatically (it is easy to write code that asks the Bitcoin program to generate and return a new address).

Funny how on this forum the same people play both sides of the table—on the one hand, trying to come up with ways to preserve absolute anonymity (e.g. the heroin store thread), and then coming here and trying to do sort of the opposite to protect BTC Faucet.

I love it Grin

Many big ISPs give you a new IP every time you connect, usually in the same class B (a.b.?.?).  Maybe you should have a minimum time between payments per class-B.

If you can’t solve the problem, you can always keep lowering the amount of bitcoins given until it’s manageable, and always require captcha.
