first i suggest you create a poll on this, this way you get better results (IMO)
and to answer your question i think the combination is better, pay the ones who reached the limit and pay them in batches thats what most sites do like moonbitcoin

but the most common way that faucets use is using Microwallet api you can check it out in its site
and btw i think dust is amounts below 5600 satoshi (not sure thou)
Topic: Question regarding a faucet, payouts and dust - page 2. (Read 1852 times)
Just payout every week.
I'm considering starting a faucet (either purely Bitcoin or maybe a multicoin faucet), and my question is how best to handle payouts. I see two approaches:
The first is to not payout until an account reaches a certain threshold, which would have to be somewhat higher than the transaction fee for sending the transaction. That would mean a long time between payouts.
The second approach would be to batch payouts - ie, once a total threshold is met (ie,0.01 BTC or even 0.001), construct a batch transaction to send payouts to everybody that is due. On one hand, people would get paid a lot quicker, but on the other, many of those payments would be considered "dust"
Or there could be a combination of the two, send a single payout transaction in a single batch, but only including recipients who had reached a preset threshold.
Just looking to you guys for guidance. Faucets not up yet so I'm not advertising anything, but if this is the wrong place for such a question, feel free to move it to the correct location.
Thanks.
