I just put up a working beta of my Terracoin Faucet. I made the code as flexible as possible, and actually I could have it do any altcoin. I was just wondering by popular opinion is there an altcoin that really needs a good faucet service.

P.S. Use the 'MOREMONEY' coupon for 50% more payout if you want to try out the terracoin faucet. You can submit up to 3 times.

Yeah royalcoin is pretty new. That would be a good choice if it takes off at all.
YACoin seems to be gaining traction pretty quickly.

If anyone wants to donate to an initial faucet balance, let me know as well.

Thanks Hazard! I'll put at that at the top of the topic. See if we can get some running balances for some of the faucets.

Ok. I think I will work on a YACoin one next. Is anyone interesting in seeding some YACoin to start?

How would you particularly 'force' a user to install a client?

I'm surprised at the lack of faucets for a lot of coins as they're a good way for non miners to at least ensure that their wallets etc are all working correctly. Here's a little I know about some coin faucets.

Feathercoin - there's 1 but it doesn't seem to ever payout.

Darkcoin - No faucet although one has been in development for weeks now.

Fractalcoin - one faucet that's up and down. Think I got a payout once, maybe twice from it.

NXT - just one working faucet so far which is surprising.

Litecoin - Only seems to have 3. Have yet to get a payout on any of them. One of them reset everything and the other just pops up stuff all the time.

Bitcoin has a boatload, doge has a pretty good number. Was surprised that RDD has about 5 but one is broken. Most others are lucky to have 1.

If I was doing a site I'd probably start with all the popular well known coins (to kick start traffic to the site) and then add other ones that I felt could be popular.

Hmmm....could that be part of the reason bitcoin and dogecoin are so popular among non-technical people who couldn't mine even if you set up  rig for them and all they had to do was flip a switch?

If you're going to launch a coin please at least have a professional looking website, a working wallet (preferably mobile and paper as well), a decent block explorer and a faucet for the masses to at least get their feet wet with crypto.

I can't believe you actually thought to add iXCoin to the poll.

I can't believe I'm the one who voted for ixCoin.

Time to change that.  lol.

Certainly doesn't hurt to have more exposure for a coin. There's well over 100 bitcoin faucets. I've found about 23 doge ones. Interestingly, a site that has a few faucets is running a poll for what faucet they should add next and darkcoin is leading the way by a big margin.
