Title: Open source Faucet ?
Post by: RappelzReborn on July 06, 2015, 08:45:40 AM
I Wanted to know if there is any open source faucet like Freebitco.in because I don't like others like FaucetBox and microwallet and the fact that people have to pass by a third party website to get their coins .
Please link me to the download link or Github if there is any

If you googling for pretty much efforts you can find it, but most all used third party actually.
But I found this links for references:

THanks but all of them need withraw to something specific like Blockchain.info wallet or FaucetBox or Microwallet or Paytoshi etc ... so It's not really what I'am looking for .

Going to check the first and see how things goes . for the second it's for Litecoin and I'am not sure how hard is it to change from Litecoin to Bitcoin but most likely wouldn't be that hard since they are both from the same source , gracias

I'd like to know if it's for free or paid one though . If it's free then it's really appreciated and if it's paid then thanks for the offer but I will have to decline because I know I can find a lot of programmers who are willing to do this project  for money however I can't pay .

You can withdraw Bitcoins to any sites you mentioned above but it is not mandatory for scripts such as Minifaucet and Cryptocurrency faucet. The problem for this scripts and similar scripts you are looking for is, you need to run a daemon to send automatic payment or you can send them manually which is heavy work and if you are late in paying, some users may leave your faucet. I recommend you to use one of those scripts which is mentioned in that thread. If you can't run a daemon 24x7, you need to use APIs of sites such as Blocktrail.com(recommended) or Blockchain.info(least recomended, in fact, depreciated).

What's a daemon , do I need a hosting for that ? I don't think it's a problem to run any program 24x7 if you have any links please link me .
For what comes to Blockchain.info I know and I see they have a lot of issues those days and API is down most of the time , for what comes to BlockTrail , people will need BlockTrail account to receive their payment ? or they will receive to any adress :/ kinda don't get it

Bitcoin Daemon = Bitcoind. You will have to run Bitcoind 24x7. It is not easy to host because of the 30+ GB of blockchain it downloads. If you can't run this, it's better to go for BlockTrail.

Exactly. Its not a good idea to use their API but if you got no other choice, go for it.

for what comes to BlockTrail , people will need BlockTrail account to receive their payment ? or they will receive to any adress :/ kinda don't get it

You use BlockTrail API and it will send payment to their address instantly or when the threshold you set reaches. You can do this with both BlockTrail and Blockchain.info.

Well basically BockTrail can do the same thing as Bitcoind which is receiving payment instantly and there is no need to pass by a third party , correct ? that's all I needed to know I thought peopl would be only able to receive payment on their BlockTrail or blockchain.info wallets . gracias

Yes but unlike Bitcoind, you won't have full control over your money.
