Topic: Is it smart to make a Bitcoin Faucet - page 6. (Read 6957 times)
I would rather buy some faucet then start one, thats more established.
Any reason why people make bitcoin faucet?
To help newbies and give back to the community. Gets people on their site, so they can stick some adverts and links to other things. The trick is to make more than you give away obvious i know but hard for alot of people to get right.
OP i'd be keen to see you other faucets first before saying you should make more, but hey if you can make them work, i'm sure you could make BTC work.

The captcha in a bitcoin faucet is a must, i have seen faucets of gambling sites, free faucets, to be depleted by bots withing hours because they dint have a captcha.. even if the faucet is as little as 0.0005 it can be depleted.
Well if you manage to do a faucet, do one not for your own benefit, but for the benefit of the people in need in this world.
Target :
1. Asia or Africa {Where most people do not even earn more than $10 a week}
2. Make it as easy as possible.
3. Make it educational. {Force them to read a whole page, and answer a question} When they answer correctly, pay them.
4. Make the payment worth the trouble.
5. Offer different languages.
One of my favorite movies of all time, is "Pay it forward" - If more of us, create anything with that in mind, you will prosper.
Doing anything to steal from others, will eventually lead to failure.
Good luck

If you have no special skills or products to sell, have lots of free time, and don't have a member rank account on bitcointalk, I can understand why you use faucets.
Otherwise, I don't think you should spend your time on faucets at all...

You can mindlessly do faucets though. You can even knock them out while watching TV and stuff, whereas you'd need to take the time to think to do any of the other things.

This right here. It's also why faucets pay so little. People could otherwise use services that enter captchas for you and still bot them.
Back in the day faucets didn't have any captchas, and there were bots that would just skip around and keep hitting them for you automatically. Blame the people that exploit like this for why we have the annoyances we do today.

Actually using some clever hacking you could have a bot that fills in the catpcha and presses the button.
However the pay-off to make such a bot is not worth the time, you may be able to automatically get 0.00288 B / month

Here's an idea for you.
THE BITCOIN EDUCATION FAUCET
or some other title that makes it clear that it's about learning for newbies.
You could have multiple choice answers for the visitors to click to earn some satoshi. I've not seen a faucet like that yet.
Something like: What is a tx?
(a)=transaction
(b)=a spoon
(c)=your mamma
Every question should be about Bitcoin lingo and be written for the layman.

I think there is an educational faucet around here, but not sure if for teach the basics of BTC.
Still a good idea
For me, I want an automatic faucet that I can open every hour without typing any code. Just a link.. no need to press button or QR code
I can tell you right now that nobody will do that. Why? Bots.This right here. It's also why faucets pay so little. People could otherwise use services that enter captchas for you and still bot them.

I'd say you're probably a bit late to the faucet party. The most popular ones are well established and it's hard for new ones to get popular.
If a faucet pays equal to or higher than the more prominent ones, there is plenty of space left. You could go a single satoshi higher than the higher paying ones and become everyone's first choice.

Doesn't seem like it's worth the time. But it's your choice.
Do people seriously still use faucets?
I do. Why not? It takes a lot of time though, but I`m on the computer most of the day anyways which is why I do it.
Not sure about others. As long its free I`m okay with it.

I think if you can build something equal to or better then freebitcoi.n I`d probably join.
I mean why not right? As long as you pay out..so yeah.
