microwallet (which most of the sites use to payout) has increased their payout schedule as well.
"You will receive [your] BTC within 7 days."
Oh damn, I wonder why...? They have the BTC immediately available from the faucet owners to pay out. Perhaps they changed the MicroWallet script or part of the payment script, I don't know.
However I hope this doesn't lead to people using MicroWallet faucets less, as the faucet I own and run uses them as well.
Still the best payout method for faucets in my opinion, and at least they added that "within 7 days" bit so as to not keep people waiting and wondering. MicroWallet/Land of Bitcoin's admin is a good person and actually cares about all of the people that use their faucets.
If he's receiving coins from faucet owners immediately, but not paying them out, it means he's doing something else with them - like trading.
Perhaps faucet owners need to get together and think of another solution for payouts.
