http://jsfiddle.net/6c7Lendv/2/I put together this attempt at a simple faucet profit calculator.
Why? Because there are none that exist. The reason none exist is probably because there are so many variables when running a faucet but regardless I think if we can get enough of us together to collaborate we could come up with something that is very close to being accurate.
Why? Because the number one question from new faucet owners seems to be how much to set the reward at and time interval. Also the bitcoin price has been known to fluctuate
and a calculator could help adjusting rewards easier.
I put it in a JSfiddle (
http://jsfiddle.net/6c7Lendv/2/) and commented out everything so that others can easily fork it with their changes.
What requires the most amount of input to make the calculator more accurate are the assumptions:
- How many claims does the average unique user make per day?
- What is the average ad revenue per unique user per day? (I made a poll for this because it's against google's TOS to disclose earnings, the poll will make it anonymous enough that google won't track you down )
There are some faucet owners out there that force people to click ads. You're 50% click-thru rate is not helpful knowledge to this project as it is against EVERY advertising service's TOS. People doing this will just get banned anyways, so those figures are useless.
I know I'm missing things like referral bonus and earnings made from bitcoin ad services like a-ads or referring to other faucets etc. We could probably just create checkboxes on the calculator and add those figures.
Please post your input and your forked versions in this thread. If you make a change to the code, please post the link AND describe the changes you made.
