That service could be profitable to run. In a very simple way, too.
A lot of us depended on faucetbox's service. I personally didn't care about the previous fee they had. It's normal for users who launch a faucet today and close it in a month that they're gonna moan about higher fee than 1%. (or any fee, actually)
You can't simply satisfy everyone. It's everyone vs your business. You're the one running your business. There's always customers who'll stick around for X or Y reason.
Perhaps, however that is not how FaucetBOX wanted to run it. I personally would have kept the fees high, however it was not not mine (or anyone else's) decision.
Anyway.
Since you've been "helping" them somehow, can you tell me why wouldn't they want to sell their project? What if the pope asked them to buy it, they wouldn't still sell it?
They handled their business professionally ever since I got into faucet business. But what they're doing right now, isn't quite professional. They're getting offers from people who're legit and honest in bitcoin business, yet, they don't want to sell the project, because of "image".
Would just like to say that I don't and never had worked with FaucetBOX in a professional manner. By helping them, I helped answer queries and do bits of coding in their forum thread(s). I have no influence or knowledge in what goes on behind the scenes.
Regarding them not selling the project, I have no idea. I expect that they have built a reputation around their service and they would not like anyone else to change that - not positively or negatively. I understand that there are many capable people that could take over, however they clearly would not like to pass the baton. I think that should be respected.
How do users feel when they have to move to other providers, instead of just staying on the same provider with a new team/owner/admin/call it anyhow?
^ That's the part which doesn't make sense. That's why people are suspicious/making up conspiracy theories, etc.
I understand that it is annoying to have to move, it is the same for me. I think the best thing we can do as a group in this situation is make it as easy as possible to switch between faucet providers, like FaucetBOX did with Microwallet in the past.
That thread was locked over a year ago, I didn't think it was relevant. Apologies.
