Title: Have an idea, would like feedback.
Post by: Boelens on May 02, 2013, 08:19:38 PM
Heya!
I had an idea, and I'd like feedback, suggestions, whatever!
My idea basically was, an easy way to create faucets. Many people want to give away coins, but can't, some do it manually via the forums, but it's slow. A lot faster is via a site, however a lot of people do not know how to make a faucet. What I want to make, is a site, where you can create your faucets. You enter the faucet name,type of coin,your coinadress,the amount you give per IP,how often an IP is allowed to get an amount.

The site would consist of a text field where you can enter your adress, maybe a captcha and a button to receive your coins. On the side would be a stat page, and maybe a donation adress to the faucet owner, and a donation adress to help pay for web hosting costs.

So, I could probably make this and am wondering, good idea? bad idea? suggestions? Post 'em! Thanks in advance! =).

I think its an interesting idea. However this system may be an easy way to gain lots of free coins if this website listed each and every faucet (i.e. if you can run through the list and get coins from each faucet easily).

However if each one had their own subdomain or other method that you needed to know the faucet URL then maybe its not a big problem.


You could do it a few ways but correct me if I am wrong:

1: Web server would need access to the Faucet wallet - doesn't seem secure

2: Web server receives daily coins from each faucet owner and distributes the coins - Secure but would mean the owner of the website (You since you want to create this site) Must be trusted by the Faucet owners that you will not just take their coins every day and not pay out to anyone.


either way good luck!

It is a good ideea, but, as kostagr33k already said, you need to find a secure way to do it.
