Title: [GOOD] Poll - Should stop the faucet campaign?
Post by: Seefude on April 25, 2014, 05:59:18 PM
So I've been hearing mixed feelings about the faucet portion of human mining, and wanted to get an idea of what everyone thought. Please leave feedback or explanations or train of thought, and we will take it into consideration. We want this coin to be best for everybody.

Question:  Should stop the faucet campaign?

1) No, I want to clicky

2) Yes, Let it build and community decides what to do with it

3) Yes, do daily IPOs until it hits exchange, then go from there. This gives coin a starting value and gets early investors involved.

4) Yes & no, lower amount dripped, community decides what to do with rest. Drip is too fast and scaring miners!

5) I don't care, just make me money! I don't know how, but I will think bad thoughts until you do!

6) Other. There is a better option, let me tell you about it...

Voted. It should definitely be lowered, but not stopped entirely. Maybe have it so if you make an account on the eventual website you get 10 or something. Another thought, are the coins that are assigned to an address that hasn't been paid out, held up on these faucets? It seems like a lot of coins would be "lost" from people trying a faucet and getting frustrated when there's no instant gratification.

Maybe the faucet can add a feature to instant pay out for a fee if they do not want to build a pot.  I think faucets are great especially for people who do not have the resource to mine.

I can lower the pot amount on altcoinfaucet if you guys want later, but I cannot change the .5 transaction fee. As for what happens to coins left by accounts that leave them there, I think it depends on how the faucet owner sets it up.
