Hmmmm... What if next to the payout threshold box will be a PIN Code installation button which you can only press once to set a password. When changing the threshold you will need to enter that PIN Code.

That's one of the ideas we have. However what about people that didn't set their PIN? Someone evil could set a PIN and then the real owner wouldn't be able to payout at all. The only way they could prove they're the owner then would be signing a message using an address, but most people have no idea how to do that (and some people use exchange addresses, where they don't have access to the private key).

I believe that the only sane way is signing messages from the very beginning. That way only real address owner can change the threshold. If the owner can't sign a message, they'll be stuck with the default lowest-possible threshold (which isn't that bad, at least they'll get the coins).

I hope that you are fixing the payout threshold thing so that only the owner can acces it.

No, it's not that. Only a server upgrade. We still haven't decided what will be the best way to restrict access to the threshold setting.

do you plan to add more altcoins?
ripple, paycoin?

We won't add Paycoin in near future. It's the first time i hear about Ripple, so no for that one for now too. We'll probably implement Darkcoin, but no ETA yet.

thank you
Ripple is #2 on http://coinmarketcap.com/, coin supply is great for faucet (no satoshis)

Looks like rippled JSON-RPC protocol isn't compatible with Bitcoin Core protocol, so it's very unlikely we'll add it this year.

Why all faucets pays to their website instead of Wallets of users directly Sad

It would be nice if there is an open source faucet just like freebitco.in I guess

Because it's hard and expensive for faucet owners.

What do you mean exactly , does those FAUCETS actually take some fees or something when someone is running their faucet on their website

There's a lot of things that have to be done when running an independent faucet that:
1. it has to accumulate micro prizes, because it's impossible to send less than ~5k satoshi using Bitcoin network.
2. there's a fee to the network: 0.0001 BTC for each 1KB of transaction. It adds up fast. If you're not careful, you can end up spending more on network fees than you're sending to your users. One of my faucets was spending 20% of coins on fees. With FaucetBOX.com it's down to 3%, so with FaucetBOX.com faucets can give more to the users.
3. run a full-blown Bitcoin node (or use something like Blockchain.info API, but that's not so independent anymore).

Here, I was hoping for Darkcoin, because it's the most searched-for-coin for faucets (based on my website counter stat page).

I'm actually testing Darkcoin, but I still have second thoughts about it. Looks like it's developing quickly and it needs to be updated a little bit too often.

Yeah, they recently had a mandatory wallet upgrade, but most of their upgrades aren't mandatory. I hope it works out though. I know if it was easier to make them, like faucetBOX is, more darkcoin faucets would pop up, especially since there's a high demand for them. I believe it's taken over litecoin in value at this time. It would be great for traffic to see more of them. But I understand your concern about having to upgrade the wallet more often than other coins, they seem on top of it, trying to fix things immediately, etc. Good for the coin, annoying for the wallet upgrades, lol.

You can see the expiration date in Whois.
But it will be renewed automatically?

We will renew it.

I think Reddcoins should be added to Faucetbox because it is still cheaper than Dogecoin.

I don't see how price is relevant

I expect that the domain will be renewed by the admin, yes.

Will it continue or expired.

Where did you see that? We don't plan stopping our service for now

Hi there.
Just wanted to say hi to all the other faucet owners around here and, most of all to FaucetBox which provided an extremely pleasant service.

BitPrepay is my first faucet ever. I don't have any advanced web programming skills (I can just follow some tutorials) and I must say it was very easy to customize and integrate faucetbox.
Also, I must note that faucetbox's customer service is really great and helpful. I had some issues a few months back and they responded quickly and precisely.

My site wouldn't have existed if it weren't for you guys.

A+ from me. Please keep up the great work
