What is it?

Untitled Faucet is a simple albeit silly script that drips money from MoneyPot's global faucet (https://www.moneypot.com/api-docs#v1-public-make-a-faucet-claim). Since it's just a few HTML/Javascript files, it can be hosted anywhere.

It comes with the caveat that MoneyPot's global faucet can only be claimed once per user per five minutes across all Moneypot apps, but I'd like to add features that ameliorate this issue.

Features

- Advert-ready: Comes with advetisement placeholders. Just swap them out with your own ad units whether they are referral links, affiliate banners, or some other monetization strategy.
- Responsively designed: Adapts to the user's device whether they are on a large desktop monitor, a tablet, or viewing your faucet on their smartphone.
- No minimum withdraw limit: Users can withdraw whether they've claimed 2 bits or 2,000,000 bits.
- No server needed: It's just a few HTML and Javascript, so you can host your faucet pretty much anywhere.
- Uses MoneyPot's funds: The faucet is funded by MoneyPot rather than your own pocket.
- Written with jQuery: Easy for noob hackers to customize/modify.


Usage:

Like Untitled Dice, just edit the "config" block at the top of the app.js file.

I just don't understand who has which advantage here

could you explain that in ELI5? thanx

Thank you for the free script but have you checked for any backdoor, malware or virus on the script?

oh yes I checked it and it is clean :)

How does moneypot make money from this? It seems like moneypot is just giving bits away.

It's just bits dude, they earn craploads from all the casinos hosted with them

yea I know

However normaly if you do not know what the product is, you are the product.

It looks like a cool script and I am going to test it out. I would be fine with a link to moneypot as "free" advertising for them.

Thank you for your effort elm I will get someone that can assist me with the installations on my server.

sounds good but maybe you can explain me what you are expecting from such a faucet and what moneypot is expecting.

I don't get it yet :(

I just need to install the script on my server the way it is since there is no backdoor and the likes in the script but I need someone to do it for me.

EDIT:
Check out a very quick version of mine I just did, no ads yet since I just wanted to allow some of my peers to use it and play around with BTC

There's literally nothing to backdoor besides the site itself.. and it's all Javascript and HTML/CSS so you're good to go.
Dan's really reputable around MoneyPot, and he's a very good and talented developer.

Nice project Dan, forgot to tell you earlier.

Heh, I thought this thread was deleted but it was merely moved from the Project Development forum to the Micro Earnings forum. :D


I wrote the script. It's very minimal and easy for anyone to verify that it's clean even if you don't know Javascript. :)


The premise of faucets is that you attract people to your faucet by giving them free money, and then you monetize the page in some way to make money from this incentivized traffic.


Yeah, MoneyPot is just giving bits away, but it's peanuts to them. This script is a bit of a hack since any MoneyPot app gets access to MoneyPot's global faucet. However, it's not unethical because users need a MoneyPot account to claim this faucet. It's symbiotic. :)

Though I would like to eventually factor away the MoneyPot dependency and make this faucet script more general. For example, it could eventually become a faucet that gives you an additional 2 bit bonus per faucet claim if you're logged in to MoneyPot when you claim.

@Emerge: Thanks for the encouraging words!

My motivation behind my bitcointalk projects is that I like to build things, and MoneyPot solves the hard part of working with Bitcoin. I wrote this script in a day and Untitled Dice in a week.

My ultimate goal for this faucet script is for it to evolve into the ultimate faucet that anyone can host without running their own Bitcoin node or their own server. Being server-less and relying on free services for prohibiting abuse like Firebase (https://www.firebase.com/pricing.html) and MoneyPot, then I can come up with the cheapest faucet script so people actually have a shot at making a profit.

i think you need give more information how to set faucet rewards and timer claim. thank you for sharing  free faucet Script

Right now the script is limited by MoneyPot's global faucet which always pays out 2 bits on a 5 minute timer.

But great idea. I definitely want the payout and timer to eventually be configurable.

I think the most obvious next step is to allow you to deposit bits into your faucet app on MoneyPot to boost the configurable payout of your faucet.

Aside: I also realize I'm missing setup instructions in the OP, but you can follow the same steps listed for my dice script: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1062680.0

Why i get refferal system in app

The issue I see with this is that faucets NEED referrals to thrive. Getting users to spread your faucet link on their rotators is what drives the traffic. With no referral payouts the faucet owner will only have direct links, and very limited traffic. HOWEVER, the user doesn't have to pay out a single satoshi so they have nothing to lose. It will just take them a long time to reach that adsense income threshold. Still very cool hack off of the moneypot API, and the users can use those funds to play moneypot games.
