I'm not experienced in technical aspects but mabe someone knows.
Is there a way to create a dapp serving as a faucet? Donations will be sent to it by community members so that newcomers can receive a small airdrop of ELLA just to play with and to join the community.
Is is technically possible?
Yes it's possible. What's your objective here? You want to create a smart contract that distributes ella with the received donations?
Yes, sort of a classic crypto-faucet. User just fills in his ELLA address and gets a small amount of ELLA to his wallet. Same ELLA address and IP can repeat the same operation in, let' say, 60 min, etc.
Faucet wallet can be credited by any amount of donation from anyone using ELLA.
Yes this can be done and shouldn't take very long. Obviously this can't be 100% decentralized as you need to process user input (to avoid duplicates and filter repeating ip's and ella addresses).
The process goes something like this: User enters address -> server processes the information -> if user is legit ask the contract to send X amount of ella to the user -> contract sends the amount of ella to the recipient -> update front end
The only "decentralized" aspect of this project would be that the Ella would be stored on the contract address visible to everybody and only the owner (faucet) could request transactions (or the contract itself). A foot note to this, this doesn't make it decentralized as a central party (the faucet owner) can potentially keep all the ella from the donations since he is the only one with authorization to make transactions.
If you want to make this truly decentralized (contract + html + web3) you're prone to having some malicious user drain your wallet by using proxies and generating thousands of ella addresses, since you can't sanitize the requests which makes it not viable in my humble opinion.
Good work I'm definitely buying in looks strong and I bet it will take off in no time! I like the idea behind the project and the fact you just released a chrome extension wallet shows me your serious at least to some degree about the project. With no pre-mine thats just icing on the cake as far as worrying about any kind of dumping happening besides whales that are just bag holding. Definitely needs more exchanges though like coinexchange and a DEX one would be nice like crypto-bridge; I would say cryptopia but they are really expensive to get listed 40k I believe so theres definitely easier places to get a coin like this listed without having to drop 40k on an exchange that only does approx a few million in volume.
Paying to get listed in an exchange just reeks of pump and dump and as an exit scam for premined coins. If the Ella project proves to be something beyond a spineless shitcoin the exchanges will list it by themselves. It's up to the community to make Ella into something that stands out.
