Yes, I got the same response when I tried it. I was doing some testing for a strategy I wanted to implement, but the high transaction fees will cancel all the gain that I would have received from this. The strategy require frequent deposits and withdrawals from the site. < You get interest on your balance, without the risk of storing large amounts of coins for long periods on the site. >
We tell people not to store large amounts of coins on exchanges, but we should trust a faucet that we know very little about? ^not^
the withdrawal fees from the site is currently 40 satoshi for Slow withdrawals which will happen in less than 6 hours in my experience and the instant withdrawals which will be in next block only costs 598 satoshi. what is the high transaction fees you are talking about?
about the investment, like any other place there is always a risk so you have to come up with a risk/reward ratio that you are most comfortable with and do that. you obviously can never fully trust anyone but based on the long history of this site and the fact that they are actually mining I think it can be trusted a little at least!
I had up to 1
BTC invested there at some point which I withdrew with only 40 satoshi fee
I still have some more and had different amounts there for profit for a long time now.
