even in fair condition is not an easy way for people to get this coin you will change them of clicking the captchas for waiting stick to the computer screen to the last minutes of the daily auction to offer a bid 1sat higher than the other guys

very true i don't think i looked too deeply into the mechanics of auctioning especially in the google group format or the ebay style rush 10 minutes before every auction .

I did suggest the auction get cancelled/put on hold for the moment since that is the only almost unanimous decision the community i think would agree on by a big majority

And what is the DEV position about this issue, in the first place he made the auction without asking anybody, and the only explanation he gave was that "some people found the captcha to complicated and that an auction was the simple way to distribute the coin, and the only difference was that the BTC were for him and not for captcha-miners"....is the same guy that wanted to distribute to the maximum number of people? that didn't wanted his coin to be monopolized? how an auction help a coin to not be monopolized, if it will just be on the hands of the guys with more economical power?

one of his main issues was  , the amount of time and effort that distracted him away from developing , it was a full time job just keeping the website and faucet functioning , then add onto that 50 angry faucet solvers complaining when the faucet dried out cos the daily amount in the faucet was claimed , i think it might of be an "ah fuck it moment"

he was spending all his time trying to do right by people , causing him not to be able to actually code for the coin and even then it was constant complaints , i think he choose it for the easy less trouble option , so he could get back to work coding

so he decided to monopolize the coin so that he get daily profit and leave the control of the coin to the 7 guys with more money. I just don't understand how that fit in an equal distribution?


I am not condoning auctioning but it wouldn't always be the same 7 people buying the blocks , it would be 7 blocks a week and would likely of ended up more diluted and shared more than if faucet remained the way it was going .



come on how hard is to create a couple of gmail account and push the bids up? how hard would be to someone with enough money to buy all the coins for a week put high bids the next one and sell all his coins on a secondary market and then magically erase the bid on the forum? that kind of price manipulation is what I'm talking, and all this behind the transparency of a google forum

you have a good point , i was focusing solely on the auction under fair conditions but you are right it can be very very easily manipulated

even in fair condition is not an easy way for people to get this coin you will change them of clicking the captchas for waiting stick to the computer screen to the last minutes of the daily auction to offer a bid 1sat higher than the other guys

Fair Distribution = Shut up and give me your fucking btc.  Grin Grin Grin

Free faucet distribution has turned into: "how much are you willing to pay? More you pay, more chance to grab mrai"
So fair.....

But I get the feeling that Dev got irritated that ppl are "mining" and selling so now he wants to make a profit himself...am I right?

Because he got nothing... and captcha solver.. enjoying the money..

this is the idea i put forward this morning

"Would it be possible to have an adaptive faucet with changing numbers depending on demand of the coin

there is no way to make it perfect and last the full 24 hours , but having the faucet distribute a specific number of coins on each request depending on how busy and how many requests it gets in say an hour , or the the day before .

if the faucet on day one empties in 12 hours , then half the reward , if there are still some coins left in the faucet on day 2 because it didnt quite reach as many the second day , increase slightly to reflect demand. "
