BayAreaCoins, I must admit that your faucets are something different from what most people use today.
Thanks! I enjoy different... it's likely why I've enjoyed Bitcoin for years.
Unlike micro wallets, you need to register here for an exchange or another site.
You know what they say: "You're always registering somewhere!" Even if you give a faucet your Bitcoin address only... it's still a style of registration.
I check your withdraw fees, and 40 000 satoshi for BTC is something that is not fit in faucet world - 400 claims only to cover withdraw fee?
Polofux, Paxful and others charge 50,000 Satoshi. We are 20% cheaper to withdraw than them. I'm still hoping we get better in the future.
Exchanges usually have healthy BTC fees for customers because customers want their Bitcoins to confirm on the very next block... as we saw in 2017, these Bitcoin fees can go CRAZY high.
Our exchange also has no minimum deposits... which is super convenient for faucet users but can be costly for the service.
400 claims only to cover withdraw fee?
Maybe if you want to withdraw Bitcoin on the blockchain, but the key is... don't withdraw Bitcoin!! Simple use your faucet BTC to purchase an altcoin such as DOGE. You can withdraw using the blockchain using Dogecoin after hitting the Bitcoin faucet only 10 times (100 minutes wait) (1000 satoshi min trade requirement). Doge withdraw fee is 5 DOGE (or 5 hits from the doge faucet). I don't think any other website doing it that good.
I'm sure there are smarter combinations than that, but that's just for example. [CLAM withdraw is 0.001 CLAM, CLAM's current value is 0.000141, so that means 1 satoshi and 1/4 to put coins on the blockchain]
If you were the affiliate of that person, you would earn 50% of their trade fees while they converted to an easy to withdraw altcoin.
Correct me if something is wrong with my observations, but your site is actually exchange with the addition of faucets.
Our website is a faucet that is designed to teach people how to use cryptocurrency for free... a huge part of cryptocurrency is learning how to use an exchange, so we created one too.
We started in 2015 with a faucet that used the blockchain directly, but we found that we literally can kill coins like that, so we have evolved since then.
