Hi,
I'm the owner of Bitcoinker
We did indeed reduce the claim amounts a few days ago, due to the Bitcoin price increase. Once Bitcoin has stabilized at a new price point, we adjust the claim amounts accordingly. Also, keep in mind that there are much larger claim amounts in our faucet as well that fewer users get, and that raises the average claim amount as well, even though you might not get those higher claims and therefore see it in your average.
Regarding the minimum threshold, we may lower it in the future once we stabilize the faucet, as currently the Bitcoin price increase has caused us to take Bitcoins out of our own pockets to cover the payouts.
