Title: AggroBTC.com - Faucet aggregator, timer, and organizer
Post by: sina94 on October 08, 2013, 12:22:34 PM
This is a project I've been working on for the last few days. It's my attempt to combine every faucet into one tool where I can track how long before I can request more BTC, and organize them in order from soonest to dispense, etc. Adds a lot of efficiency to the process, makes sure I'm not wasting time when I could be claiming tokens, and makes sure I don't forget any faucets. I have 70+ faucets at the moment, and it keeps a separate timer for each one so you know when to request again.

It's still in beta, but I'd love to get feedback on it, and if you have any faucets that I missed, I'd love to add them.

I've been working on adding new features and tweaks.  I want to have a place to store BTC addresses, Inputs.io details, etc. Several other ideas I have. Just a matter of time.

Let me know.

I like your site.  I suggest you add a cooler layout though :D

And, perhaps use bitads.net too.

Yeah. Layout is on my list, but it comes second to functionality. There are still functional things that I want to add.

And I remembered Bitads after I got everything set up. I want to check into it. You've used it before?

Seems really a website, if you can include the expected payout amount for each faucet would be even better.

Because most people don't wanna do faucet that is too low.

Sounds like a great idea. And I just thought of how I want to display that information. I'll just have to compile everything. It'll be a few days, but it seems reasonable.

Ordering the sites you can request from highest payouts will be usefull

Once I aggregate the payout information, that should be relatively easy.

Hey guys! I didn't get any sleep, but I did add the payout information for the faucets. Just click the + sign next to the link. Next on my list is a show/hide all button, and making it automatically show info for the top faucet (with an option to turn this feature off).

The info box shows
  • How often the faucet will dispense
  • How much BTC you have to accrue before the faucet will pay out
  • The minimum that a faucet will dispense at one time
  • The mean dispense value (based on published dispense values; doesn't take into account rarity)
  • The maximum that a faucet will dispense at one time
  • How much you could make per day if you got every dispense
  • Whether or not I've gotten a verified payout from the faucet (I'll need to dig through my transactions and see which ones I missed)
  • The status of the faucet (whether it's good, dry, or experiencing down time, i.e. failing to load at all)

Also planning to move CoinBox/Inputs.io info to the box, now that I have a better way to display that info.

Some of the sites don't have published payout information. I made my best guess based on my own experience, but if you own any of these faucets, you can send me the minimum dispense, maximum dispense, and a list of possible dispenses, and I'll update the information listed on the site.

Thanks for all of your feedback, guys! I'll continue to add features as I can. And hopefully a nicer looking layout at some point.

It would be nice if you put "PeerBet", next to my puzzle faucet, because you can only withdraw from there using your PeerBet username.
I still have to implement the normal way, but other things keep popping up.

Totally. I already had that and down/dry info as data points, but because I had to write/modify a new class for each one, and there were only 1 or 2 of each, it wasn't worth the extra effort to actually display that information. Once I have that information migrated to the info box, it won't be any additional code (in fact, it'll be less than it is now). It'll just pull in the data and go. So, it'll be there soon.

Now you only need to include some details like the paying amount. 1uBTC is too low for most of the faucet.

How do you mean? It shows minimum payout, dispense range, and max dispense per day. Is there something it's not showing?

Have added a few new updates. The info box for the top faucet is now automatically shown. You can toggle all of the info boxes on or off with the Toggle Info Boxes link. The info boxes now also show the payment type (CoinBox.me, Inputs.io, wallet, PeerBet). I want to add icons so that it's easier to see at a glance what the payment type is. Things are coming along nicely. Thanks to everyone using the site and providing feedback. I hope you find it helpful. :)

Finally done! AggroBTC now does a secondary sort based on which faucet will give the highest dispense. It still sorts by time first, but if you're strapped for time and can't get a dispense from every faucet, you can rest assured that you're requesting BTC from the highest paying faucets first. And you'll get the timer started on the best faucets that much sooner. I've weighted against lottery/raffle type faucets that give either high payouts or no payout at all.

I've also added a form for donating your DailyBitcoins.org Advertisement Vouchers... for those that don't have projects of your own to advertise. As soon as I get Aggro set up to save BTC addresses, I'll set this up as a raffle; one entry for each voucher donated. Get in the habit of sharing those vouchers!

To top all that off, I've set up some hot advertising real estate on the main toolbar, so if you have something you'd like to advertise, you can put in a bid here: https://bitads.net/?p=bid&id=753. Users will see this square throughout the faucet viewing experience.

I've got some new ideas for showing payout information for the currently displayed faucet. Will take some tinkering.

What do you guys think about the new features?

Sorting the page by highest payout introduced a bug with the info boxes not hiding as desired. Mostly cosmetic, and something I anticipated would happen. I'll have a fix ASAP.

Post by: sina94 on October 12, 2013, 05:24:10 AM
Added 10 new faucets; mostly Inputs.io. Disabling info boxes until I can get the kinks worked out. Hasta en la maņana, amigos.

Thanks for the words of support. I'll be at my day job most of today and tomorrow at least, so I likely won't be able to make individual replies, but I'm still reading, watching, and thinking of new ideas.

Hey guys! Just a quick update. There won't be any new updates for a few days, but the next update will include a complete visual overhaul. I like how it's coming along; it'll definitely be nicer to look at as you're spending time collecting satoshi. I'm also looking into adding keyboard shortcuts for common tasks, which should speed up processing. Until then, keep on keeping on.
