Hi guys, I'm currently operating a site which is basically a Faucet-list with some other stuff, I keep up a thread in the micro-earnings section about it. It started as a pet project and I'm sort of using it as a way to teach myself various coding languages, starting with HTML/CSS. Now, I'm exploring the possibility of creating an actual faucet or faucet-game within my site, as I branch out into JS, JQuery, PHP, MySQL, etc. (I know the first step will be to have a working knowledge of all of these, and I've been coming along well if I may say so myself). But I would definitely love some input from a much more experienced community!
My vision would be to have these kinds of features:
- An accumulate-by-the-minute generator which really just counts numbers until the user clicks to collect
- I'm leaning towards a minimum balance system that pays out...well, basically as often as I get around to it, but it seems like the largest threat to these kinds of sites is automations of some kind and I'd really feel better about the ability to not lose anything to obvious bots, etc.
- I think I'd prefer to pay out to FaucetBOX, but if I DO go with the minimum balance setup, is there any reason not to just send directly to wallets?
- A "booster" that a user can activate which increases the speed of the generator briefly (similar to cetobeto or the old Donaldcoin sites).
- Of course, a referral system!
- As much security from bots as I can reasonably achieve without having to create a user login/password database. (Unless this is really worth doing?)
- The faucet page to be consistent stylistically with the rest of my site, hence my reluctance to use pre-packaged scripts (plus, what would I learn then?) site is
www.cryptocan.ca for your consideration.
I guess my specific questions would be:
-Just how far out of my depth am I, here? I'm sure someone will point out that my site right now is built in childishly simplistic HTML/CSS. But I'm pretty comfortable with those languages and now I'd say with JavaScript as well. I'm in the process of learning JQuery, which seems much simpler after the long JS tutorial. But after that, which one should I tackle next? Is there something I need only a working knowledge of, as opposed to others that I should really nail down before working with? The more I learn about JQuery and PHP the more it seems like I should have picked those up before putting anything on the Internet at all :p
-Outside of what I'd find in typical tutorial video series, are there any other fields specifically related to Bitcoin Faucets that you'd recommend I learn about? For instance, from all that I've learned, one thing I'd have no idea how to do is actually send the payments through the site (assuming I had no minimum balance and my faucet paid FaucetBOX instantly) . Like, how to actually contact and manipulate what I assume must be other url's in some form, which of the coding trees am I barking up, here?
Thanks a lot to anyone who takes the time to respond to this, I know I asked a lot and I've got a long way to go (I certainly don't think I'm going to have this up and running sometime next week!). I'm willing to learn this stuff the real way, I don't want anyone to build my faucet for me. But, if anyone's reading this thinking "The important thing this guy should know is --", then that's exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks again.
