Hi,

As a project I am creating and releasing an open source Faucet script on GitHub,

So far it works with Blockchain Wallet and Private keys to make payments.

I am wondering if there is any other features people would like to see?

Choice of Captcha system perhaps?

So far the faucet has the following features.

* Payouts
* Affiliate Scheme
* Google Captcha
* 8 x Advert Support
* Admin Page
* You choose payouts on percentages

Thanks for any ideas!

Multicoin support and built in themes.

I would be really happy to see a script that imposes on the faucet owner to at least pay 0.001BTC per faucet claim. Anything less than 0.001BTC then the script wont work.
That's what i want.

I don't have any suggestions, just wanted to say good job :)

You should probably allow the admin to choose captchas, since SolveMedia and such are fairly popular.

Perhaps the ability to migrate from microwallet to your script, that would be nice.

Thanks for all the ideas people.

Its currently in active development and I should have a release by the end of the week :)

icanscript, what languages/frameworks is it written in?

Can I help out with this?  Or at least follow you on github so I can check back after it's been released? 

I'm currently learning a couple new tech stacks along with learning Bitcoin and this sounds like something cool I could contribute to, or at least study the code :)

PHP
HTML5


Sure, Im going to get the base of the code done then im going to upload it to github to fix up for release. :)

Feel free to extend mine (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=333748.0).  :D

It would be great idea.

Also if you can implement payment system like freebitco.in so we don't have to depend on Faucetbox etc.

Just thought I would update you all.

So far so good. Implemented SolveMedia and Google ReCaptcha.

I am going to be using https://www.blocktrail.com (https://www.blocktrail.com) API for multisig payment system.

You can read more about that here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BlockTrail.com (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BlockTrail.com)

Still a few bits to do. Such as IP, Bitcoin Address detection so people cant request funds multiple times without some troubles.

Please let me know if you have any requests that I can add into the faucet.

Regards,

1) Custom withdrawal limit.
2) Faucetbox & Paytoshi API and daemon API - for supporting bitcoin core withdrawal and blockchain.info withdrawal. If possible coinbase too(least suggested).

Thanks for the suggestions,

Customer withdrawal limit will be added.
Daemon API will be added
Paytoshi support will be added

Faucetbox charge a fee for depositing funds I think, I want to keep this faucet as open and free as possible so I wont be adding support for this.

Faucetbox does charge the fee but not Paytoshi. And, the faucet owners can choose the payment method they like, so it is good to add them. :)

I would want to see this "Bucket list" idea of mine, being implemented on a global scale for all future faucets.  ;)

We have a private discussion on there at the moment, if anyone is interrested in this route.

I'd like to second multicoin support. It would be amazing if you could choose any coin you want that uses a similar wallet. I know UnbreakableCoin, for example, uses a similar wallet. :)

The ability to use a "blank" version to add your own CSS.

Code in clearly-labled chunks with tons of comments to make reading and using it easier. I hate when people don't notate their code!

Ability to only have the faucet appear once user completes a task. For example, click and drag an icon, watch the short ad video, get a multiple-choice question correct, or click three links (waiting between clicks) to make the faucet appear.

Have SweetCaptcha  (http://www.sweetcaptcha.com/)as an alternate captcha to the Google Re:Captcha.

Option to hide the faucet if adblock is on.

Randomized payouts for a "game" feel. Be able to choose how often (in percents) that the user gets each reward. The system adds up and will not let the user save the settings unless all percentages equal 100. For example, the visitor might win 100 (70%), 500 (25%), or 1000 (5%) Satoshis at random.

The option of having a timer between payouts. The timer will show up on the main page when the user visits to let them know when they can get more.

Set minimum withdraw in order to prevent everything from being eaten by fees. Also ability to set minium withdraw limit and a toggle whether the user or the site owner pays sending fees. Users can select a higher withdraw limit if they want.

Ability to "remember" a user's faucet address so they don't have to input it every time.

Option to have users make accounts so they can play on multiple computers. Also encourages loyalty and enables things like being able to send a newsletter to users or have different user tiers with different prizes.

Different user tiers with different prizes. Potential qualifications for higher tiers could be: how often they visit in a day, how high their balance is before they withdraw, how many times they have withdrawn, what country they are from (let's face it: USA ad clicks pay more!), how high their withdraw limit is and if they have chosen to pay from their balance to "upgrade" for a little while.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. :) I hope it helps!

First of all that great work,to be open source

= you can use Minfaucet script and built on it =
my suggestions

1- migrate from microwallet,Faucetbox and Paytoshi
2-stats for site and user
3- ads blocks
4- user profile
5- user can hold payout
6- min and max reward

allow the admin to choose
1- captchas
2- payment method
3-add & edit pages
4- user  join and login with  email addresses - btc addresses or both

is  https://www.blocktrail.com online wallet? just support BTC

What do you think about https://www.block.io this one support BTC,ALT and DOGE

 

This isn't a good feature. Ads fund the faucet. If user use ad-block, then faucet will only run for some time. So there shouldn't be this option, especially a user-controllable option. Instead, ad-block blocker is a good thing to integrate. :)

Would you mind uploading your progress to github?

HTML ads blocks like Microwallet faucet script :)

advertising will make a faucet more attractive...and gambling makes a faucet owner more profitable

Yea, but the gambling part is tricky... if you are referring to the multiplier option, featured on some faucets.

There are too many people trying to beat the system and one exploit could eliminate your profits.     >:(

Hi All,

Sorry for the lack of progress over the past week,

I have been in hospital the past 5 days. I will get to work on this as soon as I can and will update you all shortly.

wishing you a good health  :)

Is a bitcoind full node needed to make payments from a private key?

Add more coins, not only bitcoin but more altcoin.
Faucet contest(?) like who write captcha much more than other in one week will get some reward.
 

No, You can use an API like blockchain/chain.com
