lol ok, I understand your reluctance. I was just trying to let you know the reality of somebody wanting to take this job on.

Why not try a freelancer website? You can create a new project, set a budget and let people bid on it. When the bidding is over, whoever wins can then have the details of the project revealed to them. If someone tries to steal your idea after winning the bidding and you have spilled your entire idea to them, you have legal grounds to sue due to the official contract made between the two of you over the freelancer site.

They have a point. I have the ability to do what you are asking, but honestly the idea doesn't appeal to me without more information. There's no incentive either to persue obtaining further information either as you haven't really told us anything.

People pop up on this forum all the time with great idea's but without the ability to make it come to fruition. I think my suggestion would be, if your idea is so great, why not learn the abilities you need yourself?

It's not exactly an impossible task to accomplish. When I was younger I learned the basics of Flash in a day, mastered it within a couple of months. The exact same story with PHP, PERL, SQL, Python, Ruby, Javascript, JAVA and many others.

If it's worth pursuing, then go for it. If it's not, elaborate.

Also will be adding an URL shortening feature to the site too. Earn more Bitcoins by shortening URLs and sharing them around.

I know there have been a couple of messages asking when there will be more ads available. I'm just waiting on some more coins to clear so I can add some more and increase the user base. The more people who sign up, the more appealing the faucet becomes for advertisers.

If anyone is interested, there are still some ads available which will pay out and more are on the way.

I had 7 posts and it took a little longer than four hours, took around 5. But never mind, once you've hit your quota you forget all about it

Exposing users to ads for a certain amount of time, I expect things to be slow for a little while until I can get my own advertising budget sorted. The site is going to be non-profit, with any coins made being used to pay for upkeep and offsite advertising.

I wondered what it would be like to run a faucet so I started one over here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=342972.0

But I'm looking to make it a user-defined site by getting as much feedback as possible and changing things around to see what people want, and maybe add a few twists to maintain interest

Hey everyone,

I've been working on designing a new Bitcoin faucet which works on sharing advertising revenue with its users. The site is now in BETA and is ready for large-scale testing. The entire site has been built from the ground up using my own coding libraries so if anyone comes across any bugs or spelling errors, please let me know so I can fix them.

The platform itself works on advertisers pre-purchasing views for their URL and for the user, a website will be displayed for 5 minutes at the end of which the user can claim their share of the revenue. There is also a referral program where you can earn 50% commission from your referred users website views.

I've used the last of my Bitcoins to pre-load some advertising pages for new users, and am hoping to attract some more advertising as the user base grows.

Please be patient with the development of the site as like I said, it is still in the testing stage but is also fully functional (to the best of my knowledge).

There is basic functionality for users at the moment. You can login using only your Bitcoin address, view websites in exchange for uBTC and withdraw funds. Minimum withdrawal is 100 uBTC.

For advertisers there is a basic form that needs filling in, including the amount of page views you wish to purchase, the cost per view, you can even change how many times your page is displayed to the same user (default 1). All URLs will need to be manually validated before a round goes live, but if an URL has been approved previously then it will be automatically approved next time pending payment.

I am currently working on expanding both the user and advertiser interfaces. The user account will soon have features such as auto-withdraw functions, statistics and password protected withdrawals.

I am also working on a premium advertisers panel which will have the following features:

    Multiple URLs in a single round - A random URL is displayed for each view
    Bid for static advertising space on our site
    More detailed statistics - Find out more about who visits your links
    Round modification - Pause, cancel or change the URL of an active round
    Round templates - No need to complete a form every time you place an order
    Withdraw funds from your account - Any leftover balance in your account can be returned
    Automated round creation - Create a new round automatically every hour, day or week

My hope is to develop the faucet in to a large-scale advertising platform, making it easier for advertisers to get their websites out there while making it easy for regular users to earn Bitcoins and find out about some great Bitcoin related services. As the site grows, so too will the availability of different advertising methods.

I had also developed some games a while ago for a Bitcoin/Litecoin casino I was going to open, but with the massive increase in crypto gambling I decided it was too competitive, so I will eventually incorporate these games in to the site as well and give you the chance to increase your balance by loads more. These games include 4-Player liars dice and a game similar to Battleship.

The website is currently at: http://btc.biohazard-studios.com

This URL is due to change some time in the near future and is only temporary for now. It's worth noting my web host has had some server issues over the past couple of days, but they reassured me everything will be fine again in 3 days, so the site might experience a few minutes of down time every now and then.

Feed back would be greatly appreciated 

well every hour the faucet processes any pending withdrawals which are split every 50 transactions. I doubt it will ever reach more than 50 per hour though. Also I'm making use of Bitcoins account system for different advertisers, so when the payment cron runs it also updates each advertisers account balance. So really the amount of api calls per hour really depends on how many unique advertisers there are.

I understand the 5 posts, but I think the 4 hours is a bit much. 2 at most I reckon would be good

I fully agree, mining Bitcoin doesn't seem like a good option at the moment, and it's mostly ASIC's keeping the hash rate up now. Altcoins are your best bet when using CPU and GPU. I have my old gaming PC setup as a litecoin miner at the moment.

Hey guys, I've been programming my own Bitcoin faucet from scratch and during the testing and development stage I've been using blockchain.info for the wallet. What I have noticed however is how it drops out quite often. In the past few days I have been unable to access the server using the jsonRPC PHP library. Checking their twitter feed it's the servers going down.

Normally I would use a virtual private network for my hosting solution and setup my own wallet on the server, but funds are a little tight so I can only afford basic hosting for now.

Anyway, my question is are there any other websites that use blockchain.info? or if the recent disruptions are just bad timing on my part and isolated incidents?

I think a faucet is a neat little distraction every now and then. Plus the amount coming out now each offer something different which keeps things interesting. They aren't really worth it if you are trying to make any real profit though.

Also, ad-driven faucets are great ways of learning about available Bitcoin related services.
