A withdraw threshold of 1,200,000 sat is too much to get some trust of the visitor, i think. With an average of 6000 sat an hour it cost you 20 days to reach the threshold. Maybe you can lower this a factor 10. If not it smells a little bit fishy.
No for now
But why not, what are the deeper thoughts behind this high threshold. You hope that people become tired visiting this faucet and leave before they reach the threshold? So you can keep the coins in your pocket? Or are you waiting for the first payments from the advertisers so there is at the moment just not enough bitcoin in your pocket? please explain!
This is a new strategy that a few faucets have done in the recent past. Unfortunately for a bigger one, InstantSatoshi, they "sold" midway (I don't believe that it actually sold; I think the dev just realized that the upkeep and maintenance costs vs. payouts wasn't worth the profits he was making, so he abandoned the project), so that set a tone of negativity for all future faucets that operate on a high threshold like Satoshi Now.
Thus far, I have seen payment proofs from the admin, but until I.Grozni (newbie, nonetheless), haven't seen any verification of forum members receiving payouts. I'm very close to the threshold, so I will post if/when I receive a payout.
But you are right; many people give up on claiming for such a high threshold, which benefits admin.
I do believe that his referral program (random amount of referral bonus
UP TO 25%) is sustainable for his program, which is great for the longevity of this faucet, but is not beneficial for me to pump some advertising dollars into this site... I generally have anywhere from 1000-2000 referrals for sites that I promote, but only have 59 referrals for Satoshi Now.
This could very well change after I receive payment, but until then, I will grow my balance organically until I receive my first payment.
