That was very temporarily for a few hours, as we tested and we keep on testing new banners/popups in order to improve the user experience whilst minimizing any bad experience with the site (e.g. some complained about annoying banners or popups which we removed).
Unlike many other faucets we only have 2 popups at most, and 3 banners in the site - that's extremely a small amount of ads as we care about the user experience and would like to keep things clean & sweet.
This site is adding more and more ads and popups while giving the most ridiculous payment ever.
To earn 1 ripple (0.00002837 btc) you gotta claim 862 times. Thats 862 hours!
Owner can earn 1$+ per 1000 views (0.00010000 btc). With the amount of advertisments owner put on this site, he
KEEP more than 80% of the profit. To make 862 rolls you will generate at least 3000 views for owner. Owner will generate over 30000 satoshis and pay you only 2800 satoshis.
Pure greed and insult for anyone who claim from this faucet.
Oh and also, i repeat, its roll system is rigged.
We give out every hour $0.0003 worth of Ripple, so you would need to actually press the ROLL button 3,333 times to get $1.00 worth of Ripple or around 833 times to get 1 XRP ($0.25 value as of today). This is assuming you don't use referrals at all, and if you are an individual without any referrals then you can add it to your portfolio, just open many faucet tabs and click in the account to get some XRP. If it goes up in value (and many believe it would) then it's additional bonus as well.
We definitely don't keep "more than 80% of the profits" as you claim, our margin is much smaller than that and is no where near this number.
You seem to criticize the site and it's fine if you do, but if you judge other faucets here and compare theirs to ours - then please take the following into consideration:
- We pay out instantly, not to your FaucetHub account or to a 3rd party microwallet, we pay out instantly to your Ripple wallet, it's like pure cash you can use anywhere, Ripple can also be exchanged to Bitcoin easily as it's a very well known Crypto Currency and it's one of the top ones in the world as well.
- The minimum withdrawal is 1 XRP which is extremely a small amount and you can check out the withdrawal history from the site - at the moment there are lots of withdrawal requests made every day - it's all transparent by the way.
- We offer 50% referral commission - that's extremely generous. Our referral program works 100% fine, there are no bugs or issues with it.
- There are well known faucets in this forum that "supposedly" pay instantly to your FaucetHub account - but every few days the user gets this message on the withdrawal screen "We are running out of Bitcoin now. It will be refilled shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience caused." - along with tons of popups and ads in a way that makes it extremely uncomfortable for the user to navigate through the site. So far thankfully our users never experienced these issues.
- The user experience in the site is quite comfortable, we don't attack the user with so many popups, we don't mine the user browser, we don't do any of that.
- Lastly - We haven't even started with our lottery section + Mobile App - this would help users to earn more and these are coming soon.
Good luck!
