Topic: [ANN] Microwallet.org - API + free faucet script, start your own faucet! - page 22. (Read 114809 times)

Guys, there's http://epay.info it's coming in six days and it looks very promising. Maybe if it is good we can all move over there.

We need an alternative fast! If you can prove that faucetbox caused the ddos, then you can sue, but like makingmoneyhoney said, is there any real proof now?

I can see why people who owned faucets and deposited their money into Microwallet for payouts, would want to sue.

I, personally, only have about 29 cents worth locked up right now. But I feel bad for the website owners who deposited money to keep their faucets full only to be locked out, and having their reputations ruined by Microwallet when they end up not paying out for the time people spent on their sites.

But has there been any real proof that FaucetBox did this to Microwallet specifically versus just rumors because of shady behavior?

Well. Some one is pissed....if this is real someone is ready to sue.

5% fee is only for deposits to the faucet by faucet owner, not for faucet user withdraw.

That's only for deposits for faucet owners I think, not for withdrawals. But yes I agree, micro wallet is the best, and I wish they were back!

its almost funny..xcept its money involved in.. but still dark fun absurd crazy sh*t happening

Sheesh. 30+ Bitcoins if they just cut and run...

And yes, all those faucets that are set up with Microwallet seem to just continue to slide more money in there, padding their wallets.

I think Microwallet is looking to scam and will keep all those bitcoins you deposit, I would advise for you all to stop supporting this scam of a service!

It is totally absurd week in this "business".

There are already 30.5 BTC stuck in MW address (almost enough for a small car) and the faucet owners continue to add to this amount. Land Of Bitcoin stopped responding long time ago.

At the same time FaucetBox makes a fail while moving their server. And send to their users the accumulated amount twice

I bet this is not a type of promotion.

Honestly, people like me would click on every single ad on a faucet's page in this circumstance..

They pay DIRECTLY from the faucet to my wallet (Idc about a high cashout limit, i.e. - 20k satoshi before withdrawal that way they don't have to do a lot of small transactions constantly.)
They pay TIMELY (day or two after i hit the button to withdraw.)
If they make their page easy to navigate.
If they don't have a lot of popups that I don't click on.
No re-directs.
Fun games are a BIG plus (i.e. - CoinGamez wheel spinning makes it just a lil more exciting.) but not required for me to give lots of clicks.

The final ingredient.. Is not being greedy. Take your small cut, don't take a percentage.. Because if you do it that way, BELIEVE I will be constantly going to YOU to cashout with and NOT the guys who take percentage. I will have patience to save up higher in order to pay less, it's a good business model for a person running their own business and delving into Bitcoin.

That's about all I ask from these faucets is that if third party wallets aren't paying out or aren't meeting the needs (MW AND FB) that there be a way for us to DIRECTLY get it, even if it's a little more work. I'd rather do a LITTLE more work, to get what I've worked for, then work at all and not get a dime.

Just my two cents. Hope people think the same way.. Because faucets are essentially small-scale business projects that sometimes just sustain and make no real profit or just spend to get exposure. What they truly do for everyone involved though, is give them (supposed to be..) a good welcome to the digital community and to get a lil bit to spend and spread around and see what it's like to use digital money, it's ease, etc..
The better we can improve these faucets or "points of entry" into the Bitcoin world as I like to call them, the more the Bitcoin will be worth as a WHOLE, so even if your faucet doesn't make very much.. What little you do have, could become worth a whole lot more by having more people investing into something that CAN work and IS.

I know new people to bitcoins & other cryptos are going to look at faucets first, but if no one picks up the slack here, most faucets are going to fall and fail.

It may just come down to the only faucets worth doing are those who handle the payments themselves instead of using a 3rd party like Microwallet/FaucetBox/Etcs.

I sure sure sure hope so. If they have a percentage fee though, I will not be happy and me along with over 40 of my friends, will be giving up on faucets as a whole. When the faucet owners get pennies for our clicks and all we get is fractions of a penny.. It's not right for them to charge percentages. A flat-rate works to their advantage as well.. because sometimes it's higher than said 5% due to some people not having the patience to let it accrue to more.. One way or another, flat-rate, or no clicks.. Just how it's gotta be. Can't afford to be robbed by crooks when you're already making fractions of pennies per click..

Between faucet owners, wallet providers, and the people like me who are viewing ads and PURPOSELY clicking on links so that faucet owners get theirs as well.. There needs to be an understood equilibrium achieved.. This was semi-possible with MW, but with unresponsive owner, I'm unsure and worried about the future of faucets and their true effectiveness. Especially due to the fact that Land of Bitcoin is the major list most people use and if they don't get paid from MW to begin with, they may be done altogether.. I might even be.. I earned over 200k satoshi in 3 days thru MW and have yet to be paid.. Lot of work to just "let it go." Here's to hoping..

Possibly, in a few days, there will be a third wheel. Does anyone know anything about this? => http://www.epay.info/

Here's my thing about this "competitor" FaucetBox.
The thing I liked about MW was the FLAT RATE on withdrawals of like 585 satoshi PERIOD.
If you look on FaucetBox's site, it says they'll be taking 5% of your earnings.
This, to me, is COMPLETE BULLSHIT.
I will only have to pay 585 satoshi for my 236k satoshi I earned on MW whereas if it were with FB I would be paying OVER 10K of my hard earned satoshi.. FUCK FAUCETBOX.

If you think FB is the right alternative, you're going to lose the faucet scene as a whole.
I'm not going to pay out a percentage of my collected satoshi.
Flat-rate only, or not at all.
Faucetbox is just a group of criminals who are trying to take over and be greedy.
I'm not for that bullshit.
If you guys wanna keep on, go ahead, but FB is playing you and you're feeding into making bad people money.
I will be no part of that.

NO program that's going to be as successful as FB would be in place of MW, NEEDS 5% to "keep things going" they're just money-hungry jerks trying to dominate a market. Just the way that Bitcoin is supposed to be preventing. I don't want one group with control, especially when they're going to take what they don't deserve. MW PLEASE COME BACK, WE DON'T NEED TYRANNY!

We had been a long term loyal user of MicroWallet but unfortunately our hand has been pushed and we had decided to migrate away in the interest of our users.  I made the switch to FaucetBox on Sunday which I was really impressed with until today...they are now down and have been down for the past 12 hours.

We've temporarily disabled our Bitcoin Faucet and will be bringing payments in-house so that we no longer need to depend on 3rd Party Services.  Hoping this will be completed within the next 24 to 48 hours.  To anyone who used our Bitcoin Faucet in the past, I apologize on behalf of MicroWallet for your frustrations and we will hopefully have things running shortly.

well it relies on previous experience with mw.. it worked for a long time (in bitcoin time terms )  so i assume he/she is away for some reason not able to manage things.. not defending them tho, its a bummer

You make valid points. If microwallet was working how it should this method would indeed be superior. I suppose 'don't fix it if it isn't broken' comes to mind and I think we are all in agreement that microwallet service is fundamentally the best option providing its ran properly. I only hope the API gets purchased.

What are you basing these beliefs regarding microwallet on? They have time to manage multiple DOS attacks and change servers a number of times but not any time to respond to faucet owners with any communications or to make one round of payments to their users in the past 14days. I'm sure a lot of faucet owners have put a lot of time and effort into their sites and Microwallet shitting over those efforts as we speak. There's no excuse for it.

It is a matter of preferences for which wallet you use, to actually buy things with, or store them for stockpiling. I don't mind if people like Xapo for that. In fact, I think that's a fine reason to use it.

My point is, forcing people who are trying to get faucet payments to use Xapo versus their normal wallet is probably going to turn a lot of people off.

Also, if you do a faucet as is, you can still give it your Xapo address to get payments, but everyone else can put in their other addresses. I just don't think faucets should require you to have an Xapo wallet. I don't see that being required benefiting faucets worldwide, I only see it hurting them.
