Heh, I thought this thread was deleted but it was merely moved from the Project Development forum to the Micro Earnings forum.
Thank you for the free script but have you checked for any backdoor, malware or virus on the script?
I wrote the script. It's very minimal and easy for anyone to verify that it's clean even if you don't know Javascript.
I just don't understand who has which advantage here
could you explain that in ELI5? thanx
The premise of faucets is that you attract people to your faucet by giving them free money, and then you monetize the page in some way to make money from this incentivized traffic.
How does moneypot make money from this? It seems like moneypot is just giving bits away.
Yeah, MoneyPot is just giving bits away, but it's peanuts to them. This script is a bit of a hack since any MoneyPot app gets access to MoneyPot's global faucet. However, it's not unethical because users need a MoneyPot account to claim this faucet. It's symbiotic.
Though I would like to eventually factor away the MoneyPot dependency and make this faucet script more general. For example, it could eventually become a faucet that gives you an additional 2 bit bonus per faucet claim if you're logged in to MoneyPot when you claim.
@Emerge: Thanks for the encouraging words!
My motivation behind my bitcointalk projects is that I like to build things, and MoneyPot solves the hard part of working with Bitcoin. I wrote this script in a day and Untitled Dice in a week.
My ultimate goal for this faucet script is for it to evolve into the ultimate faucet that anyone can host without running their own Bitcoin node or their own server. Being server-less and relying on free services for prohibiting abuse like Firebase (
https://www.firebase.com/pricing.html) and MoneyPot, then I can come up with the cheapest faucet script so people actually have a shot at making a profit.
