Bitcoin Forum

Hi! I am a n00b and would like some help making a faucet. I think I am going to use the micro wallet script, but I don't know how to upload them to servers, etc. Help would be appreciated, I don't have any Bitcoin to spare sorry! Help a n00b out!

Il help you out m8

Have you got your micro wallet api sorted and your solve media api ( captcha)

When you have let me know and il get it all up and running for you.

Cheers

Does this mean I just give you the micro wallet script? Sorry I am major NOOB, thanks for help.

No i have all that, I own www.bitcoingenie.info which runs the MW script and gets half a million hits a mth so dont worry about all that.

What i will need from you is your microwallet api, and your solvemedia api, plus ftp details to upload it all to your hosting.

If you dont understand what I have asked for above PM me and we will take it one step at a time, but we will get there :)

PM these details dont make the ftp details public

I think you hit a record for most ads on a faucet.

lol yeah I have a few on there, im trying to lose some but people keep re-newing them.
But i am defo looking to lose some :)

Wow cool! Are Bitcoin faucets profitable?

Mine is but it took the first two months to get it profitable what with adsense taking so damn long to pay out, but once you get into a pattern its easy.

Out of all the websites I have ( and i have a fair few ) the bitcoingenie makes the most by a long way, even more than my mining multi pool.

Many of the ads are refferals. I don't think that adsense counts those as third party advertising.

I'm thinking of a high paying faucet where people click on ads and get money, you choose how many to click and when to claim. Let's say each ad you click gives you 1000 satoshis, when you are done clicking you cashout. Anyone know how to make something that tracks how many clicks to an ad and then pays out to the person?

it looks that you are a very helpful guy so I thought I can ask you as a total faucet noob, why would one create a faucet? ok you have many clicks and give a lot satoshis and it looks like you guys still earn some coins.
is it worth the pain? and is difficult to create one?

I understand if a gambling site adds a faucet to attract players that makes sense to me  :)

any help and answer is very much appreciated

Micro wallet makes it pretty easy to build to be honest.
And as long as your advertising revenue is greater than what your giving away your making.
I do all right when you add it all up, adsense makes me the most, then believe it or not the captcha makes me the second largest amount of income via solvemedia.

If you want to have a go im happy to help as you can see :)

Indeed I have 3 advertising providers on there adsense, adbit, and a-ads and I think im right in saying adsense allows your 3 dont they ?

thank you for the answer and offer to help. I will PM you

There are so many BTC faucets already. If you are going to give 0.5 BTC per one time dispense, then may be BTC users market would be interested.

.5 Btc per dispense...so many people would abuse that and it'd empty in a matter of hours, if not minutes. Regarding managing a faucet, how many satoshis does one normally start one with?

Sorry I don't know if I should be posting this here but since you already mentioned make a faucet together..(I was thinking about building a faucet myself but am quite new to the whole advertisement beeswax)...how exactly do I get a google adsense account for bitcoin faucets as well as the others that you have listed. I have enough funds to register a domain plus buy myself a nice hosting service. Any help would be appreciated.


Thank you.

I am planning a twist on the typical faucet.... Coming soon if possible

If you think I hijacked your thread, I will delete this. I did repost it, in it's original form, but it has a impact here too.

I have discussed this on another forum and would like it if someone could incorporate this option in their faucet.

http://bitbiz.io/threads/poverty-is-faucets-the-answer.551/#post-3899

Why not incorporate something good within a faucet. {This can be anything - Poverty elleviation / Animal cruelty .....}

You use these faucets to help someone else. { A small portion of your income goes towards a good cause, say 5% of each withdraw }

This can be voluntary or compulsory, you choose, when you setup your profile.

Many people do not use faucets, because it's a waste of time, BUT if you know a small portion of that time/income goes towards something good, you might consider using it.  ;)

So we crowdfunding donations to good causes, using faucets.

Freebitco.in  
WON BY USERS
2,355.24829985 BTC

*Imagine if 5% of that was paid out to some good cause? { 117 Bitcoins can make a difference }
* I can already see this in the press - Bitcoin faucet donated $50 000 towards SPCA

Pay it forward
 
My goals for this is ambitious, but I have learned, the small things make a huge difference, when a lot of people are doing it.  ;D  

I do donate every month. Not using Bitcoin though.

Anyways... Does Google AdSense allow us to post ads on faucet websites?  Will my site be approved if I apply adsense via my faucet website?

Ok due to the serious amounts of PM's I'm getting I have set up a simple paid service ( All those I have promised to help upto this point will still get my free help) because of the sheer amount of time I am spending with people advising them on what and how to create a working, money making faucet.

Its not much but does compensate a little for my time.

PS I have today just started a new faucet for myself, and have given myself 2 months to get it to 400k users per mth  ( I bet i do it  ;) )

Best of luck with your business! Your help is greatly appreciated, and I hope that once I start making Bitcoin with my faucet, I can compensate you properly :)

Your welcome, have you got your API yet ?
Once we have that we can get you fixed up :)

fair enough and I would be glad to pay You even I think I was one of those you say you will help without payment.

but to be frank I dont understand those 3 options you have right now on your site. lets say I would take the "hosted micro wallet faucet" what will I have? what will I have to do? and how long will it take that I will see some light.

I hope my questions are making sense

Option1 ~ Basic Micro Wallet Install

This is for people that have hosting all ready but are unable to install the script themselfs, so I would pop onto your server and install it all for you.

Option2 ~ Faucet Hosting without install

Simple faucet web hosting, I will set up hosting for you and provide you with an FTP account and create a database for you , basically all you need for running a micro wallet faucet but you will install it.

Option3 ~ Hosted Micro Wallet Faucet

For this one I will supply and do everything + add your faucet as a link to one of my high traffic faucets to help you get started.

Please note for all 3 options you must have a domain name !

Hope that helps :)

what would I need to do to keep the site running?

lets say I learn to handle it and decide any time in the future I want to run it my own? would this will be possible?

what kind of game will you use?

thanks for all your help, great attitude

I saw now on your website that you offer a ready to go faucet. what would be my part of work to run it?

The ready made one, all you would need to do there is just advertise it to get users to the site and keep the faucet balance up.

I can help with advertising by adding links to my sites, as well as point you in the right direction on how to get users and the best way to get revenue.

Option 3 is exactly the same, except you need to purchase a domain name.

All very easy really, and no tech knowledge is needed.

Also there is no updown, wheel or any other type game on the microwallet faucet, but its something i may try and add at a latter date

Without telling all secrets, but how to get so many visitors? Using your service and having no visitors seems to be useless.

There is no secrets it's all common sense and All my users will have access to my support, in helping them get to where I have.

I actually have an interesting theory on faucet

lets see how you react to that.
