They've been around for a while. Some other Alts have them. Designed to get some flow of coins going very early in the piece to stimulate demand over and above just what the miner's create. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_faucet

After RC4 (and 10 Drk limit is lifted), functioning market based on Darkcoins will probably do a lot to boost Drk value.

Are you guys really serious? You don't know what a faucet is? - ugh So - I'll explain - You visit a website like this: http://btc4you.com/index.phpYou do what it say's and you get FREE coins - for BTC it's in many fractions of coins or DUST I think that one makes you wait until you have X amt of BTC before you can cash it out to wallet. BTC does have a certain amount of free transaction but you sometimes have to wait longer for them. You can also think of a faucet like a leaky water spout -drip - drip - drip It takes FOREVER to make good of a BTC faucet these days - pretty much pointless But back in the day I pulled in a LOT of BTC from these things - lol [/quote] TX guys ! i get it now (what it is) i still do not know if we (DRK) really need this !

A faucet lets people get a little bit of the currency so they take dip their toes in the waters, get involved and be apart of the community. They can do all of this without having to sign up to an exchange. Bitcoin took off because of faucets, without faucets the community would have taken much, much longer to develop. The lead developer of Bitcoin (Gavin) gave 10,000 bitcoins away in a faucet to jump start the community. Not everyone is selfish, sometimes you have to give to receive.

Selfishness has nothing to do with it. It's about IQ points. Faucets are useless, that's why nobody does it. BTC was created in a crypto vacuum. DRK was not. No alt has been helped by a faucet. Ever. No person has everbought something useful with 0.00000001 of the alt that they got for free. It doesn't do anything.

I'm not a fan of dust faucets for sure, but if a faucet can give an amount that is perhaps ten times the transaction fee, it may very well get people interested in your currency.

Useless dust getting deleted/forgotten on some silly crashed windows machine doesn't do any good for the coin or the owner who eventually realizes that 0.00000001ALT doesn't buy anything. Neither does 0.01ALT. Georgem made [N]SFW gifs for fun and made more DRK than that. I gave him several DRKs. Not that I thought the .gifs were worth it, but that he was actually DOING somethinig instead of whining for free shit. Do something useful for the community to get something from the community. Oh, wait, currency != community. This isn't SovietCoin. Even smart panhandlers will give you a stupid flower or a sign-language flyer while pretending to be deaf... At least they're doing something in exchange instead of just sitting there wanting free stuff. It might not be a fair trade, but it's something to recognize that legitimate economics requires give and take. These panhandlers actually get a useful bit of money out of it. Not only does the faucet do no good, it encourages entitlement douchebaggery. It's not enough to matter to either party. It was a just barely tenable excuse in BTC's infancy. But, it's not anymore.

As far as I can tell, as long as the money given out isn't useless (dust) then is it such a bad idea? Imagine a person new to cryptocurrencies, they can't use the bitcoin faucet because they are dust, so they look elsewhere and find a darkcoin faucet, they get used to it, become a darkcoin supporter, now they load $100 on an exchange and then buy Dark with their cash. That helps your cause doesn't it?

Relax guys. RC4 will be here soon. Auto denom is getting fixed as we speak. 10 Drk limit will be lifted and markets can start to spring up. Faucet was just a suggestion. Let's welcome people here. If you disagree, just say "I disagree". No need for head cutting.

That helps your cause doesn't it? The problem is that it helps a useless/valueless coin get started. DRK is already way past started. DRK's problem is that it wasn't meant to be started so fast... The idea of DRK is so potent that people jumped on the bandwagon and we don't even have a final RC yet... If it had no value then giving it away in useful amount would make sense. But it does have value. It is easily obtainable. If you want to give away $100,000 worth of DRK that is likely to be worth at LEAST 50x that much n the not too distant future, go ahead... Nobody is stopping you. But, the fact that you're sure as hell not going to do that should explain why there are no faucets... Faucets are a crutch to get a coin ahead. DRK is already way past that point. It has too much value already for anyone to be stupid enough to give it away. Thus, there's no need for a faucet, eh?

darkcoin is so big with many people in community
yet none of you can make a good darkcoin faucet site. missing out on showing 1000's of new people to darkcoin
i think somebody said they were making one a few hundred pages back. when it's done i'm sure they'll update us here. At some point there was a DRK faucet and after going thru all my links, I think I deleted it, (which is rare for me) because it was always empty. I know there was one out there - I'll have to search for it......hummmm This is the one I found a while back: http://www.cryptoblox.com/faucets/DarkCoin/

Evan just posted twice on the testing forum about exactly this on his way to bed. Development on RC4 is moving breakneck fast when youy consider it's basically a complete rewrite of everything that made DRK what it is. RC4 makes it essentially a completely new coin based on the lessons learned about multi-proofing and anon. It's just called DRK for shits and grins.

Correct, I have been part of the testing and I can say from the first RC4 release to the latest version we have come leaps and bounds. Evan has fixed the bugs found at lightning speed and done an amazing job updating the testers of what was fixed. As of the last release the denomination by masternodes is working, but there are still a few bugs to iron out. Gotta love watching the wallet start automatically denominating into 100's 10's 1's through the masternodes, super exciting.
