Hey, new here. So I've opened a new BTC faucet that dispenses 1 ksat per hour with a 3x prize modifier special thanks to bitcoininformation for the source.

Payout @ 100
Prize = 3 kSAT

I'm the first (and only atm) to submit my address. Do I get an extra prize?

1000 satoshis? That's below the min output limit. Your TX will never confirm.

Try seeing how CoinChat does it (plus, people frequently get a whole mBTC for a line of message).

The transactions will be sent out in 1 bulk pay to 100 recipients at a time, not individuals.

A good feature would be to save up the payments. 10 would be good.

That will not confirm.

If you send ~5430 satoshis or less to anyone, EVEN if you are sending to 100 or 1000 addresses, the transaction will be "non standard" and the default client will block it.

This.

What you will need to do is create an account-type system to handle them. Then either do auto payouts once you hit a certain threshold or allow users to manually move their balance from delayed to pending.

Bulk pay does not work like that, it just bunches up several outputs into one transaction. If any output is 5430 satoshis or lower, the whole transaction will be marked as non-standard and may never confirm.

Added my address to test out the faucet. Seems to have gone through smoothly by adding me to the list, unless I've missed something?

I'll take a look at the source again but I'm pretty sure everything mentioned here is covered already.  

I've been thinking about coinbox though.


the input is appreciated.

If you can get into coinbox that'd be awesome. It matches up your payments to that of other faucets as well, cutting down your cost and raising the payouts people receive on a per-payment basis.

Agreed. Coinbox would be awesome. Since I use the same adress for all faucets anyways coinbox is a nice way to track payouts and get the gifts in less transactions.

Also, to add, OP... if you get everything squared away I may add it to the BTC Faucet Rotator (http://coinfaucets.tk). I'll keep up with your progress, :).

That would be great.  I am currently donating out of pocket. eventually I hope to edge out ad revenue to fund the faucet rather than bleeding myself dry very slowly lol.


Sent the good folks over at the box an email already

Sounds good, :). Always happy to help support faucets!

I'll try this out too

Very simple website  :D

Thanks for free Coins

Good luck. I sent them an email a couple of weeks ago about the requirements to join in and they haven't responded since. :(

Easier would be changing 1K to 10K satoshis. Everyone will be happy

I think if he had the money, he would but that doesn't seem like the case.

lol yeah.  Just testing the actual system for now.  If you don't receive anything at the payout time I'll find some way of making it up to you guys (mmmmm wallet raffles perhaps? Ideas welcome.) . Thx for the dev help.  <3s

p.s. donate and i'll raise the cap =p

I've submitted my address a fair bit. Payout at 100 yeah?

I have just tryed it out and it seems to have taken my address.


You really need to get into coinbox

They already started inquiring about that, so with any luck they will be accepted, :).

payouts at 100 yes or possibly 99 theres an offset issue in this source i might try to remedy, more concerned about payouts actually working for now.

grats on the two prize wins so far! I hope with more funds to work with i'll be able to have multiple prize amounts and possibly a large jackpot ( 0.1 - 1 btc?) don't know yet.

hmmmm, I'd expected 100 hits by now so i could check the system. C'mon folks take my money haha.

I love satoshis.

I put in my request. 72 more to go, lol.

lol thx. figured id get swamped. guess not

I'll bump the thread to try and get you to 100 (or 99!) in the hope that I can get a payout. 2 prize wins and I think another 5 requests should mean I'm on for 0.00011 btc :)

BTC faucets are great except they dont give you much money

So what about coinbox? Be sure to post the progress, they haven't contacted me but maybe they will contact you. BTW , I'm currently building my website on the same script just with some other features. Be sure to post with the site's progress.

lol every time i look more responses, yeah I will be updating the OP with status updates periodically, currently i have not heard from coinbox but that doesn't mean no.

I like it but user interface was trash, fix that up and you will do a lot better :)

HAHA yea, its very basic. Like i said it's about the mechanics for now. I'm working on the aesthetics on the side while i test. I literally just removed/reformatted bits of the original code so far.

Still not many people submitting yet. Come on people, enter your address. I want a payout.

Hmmmm.

if the outputs are too small to be included in a block you may next time show btc-e or mt-gox redemable codes  :D

Is this ever going to pay out?

Probably not!  ;)

Getting close to the payout number. Backing up wallet database before deletion, if it doesn't work right off the bat i'll throw a raffle each use of the faucet gives you an extra chance, multiple winners. Hopefully it works anyway and its not a problem :P

Any word from coinbox? As I am developing my own faucet, I have run into the 5430 satoshi rule. Does anyone have an idea how to get through that kind of stuff with outputs smaller then the limit?

Alrighty then, you got to the 100 mark. Going to payout?

pretty cool

HMMMMMMMMMM

That's only going to be an issue if all the miners switch over to 0.8.2. There are still plenty that haven't, so they will happily relay smaller amounts.

Well that's a relief though I think there might be script related issues with the rule

okay i have the database backed up, for some reason the cron job did not go through. working on a solution to the problem.

corrected the problem, faucet was waiting for 1000 payout requests instead of 100 (which passes the satoshi wall) cron job completed and payments to the first 100 should be in progress.

I dont see an outgoing transaction ..... might have to move to the raffle plan unless i can figure this out (i have all the submitted wallet addresses on file)

So it didn't work? You do know you can look up the error log for details. Also I think there is a limit on how much <5430 satoshi outputs can be in a transaction. I think it's 10.

The clients may not relay the transaction. However, there are some nodes that will relay indiscriminately and some mining pools that will put your transaction in a block for a fee.

Still working on this I have a lot of projects going at the moment, I still have everything backed up but i suppose i could re-enter everything as a per wallet and just save till amount can be sent.. I really wish coinbox would hit me back. -.-

I've contacted them before but it seems that they do not support "custom faucets". The faucets that are using coinbox probably are using the same faucet software.

Well, thats rather closed minded of them....... Maybe i'll have to make my own competing service...
