Updates with InkhaYesterday was a great day for me altogether until a hard drive failure had me wondering how I was going to get anything done at all! Lo and behold, one of our community members helped me out and lent me $200 to go out and get myself a new laptop. I forgot people out there like that existed. I'm even going to throw him some extra on the repayment just to show him I really appreciate it show of faith. Shout outs to TeamDisaster times a million.GPFaucet.com Updates/InformationJackpot!I decided the stagnant and unchanging 0.1 payouts were rather boring on the faucet, so I first implemented some code to slightly randomize them and upon further brainstorming I would code in varying levels of payouts. They are all different levels of payouts, the biggest one bring the jackpot. I won't disclose and numbers I'll just let them pop up when they pop up
Profit!Part of the company I'm forming within the GoldPieces community known as
GPF (The GoldPieces Foundation) is a company based around employing quality team members that could eventually work full time doing what they love, listening and taking advice from the community, appreciating and making money for our investors, and most importantly building and maintaining the profitable entities that make those valuable goals possible.
GPFaucet.com is the first of many such entities.
The faucet balanceI setup the faucet in such a way as there is an account named 'faucet', which holds the balance of coins that can be distributed to our loyal community members. This is great as it allows well-off community members to donate to the faucet
(Fund The Faucet: GN1d8VMLFXLHLQSHYL5fqeo5FcnnH4sJbH) at least until we get our feet off the ground, then my hopes are the faucet accounts balance will stake enough to fund the GoldPieces it sends out! Therefor breaking even as far as faucet balance goes.
Banner AdvertisementsAdSense is a leading advertising company that typically has the best payouts of all the advertising companies by a long shot in my experience, but I guess that could be niche dependent, regardless, Financial is a huge paying niche and the clicks on the ads should pay very well for us, resulting in more money becoming available to further our worthy causes.
Captcha AdvertisementsWe also get paid everytime someone fills out a captcha that shows an add in it! They don't have a 100% fill rate, since the same person fills out the captcha several times a day, but they do a pretty good job and I am amazed at their creative business idea.
All of this monetization is done in such a way as not to hinder the users experience with the site! The ads are all related to Bitcoin, something we all love, and the Captcha pays you in GP when you fill it out! These are the things I like to pay attention to. "What can I do that will give me more doing power to do more good and cause more good for myself and the people around me?" is a question I often ask myself before making any decisions.
What's Next?There are now two projects aside from the constant upkeep and evolution of GPFaucet.com, they include
GPBay.com which is a vendor based market for buying and selling gaming related goods, physical and digital, and there's a
browser based game being planned out
(think pokemon meets virtual pets). This time I'm making sure all the projects are within my skill range and can be completed securely and on time. This is going to be a fun adventure guys, and I really look forward to making more friends and helping each other have fun and thrive.
As always, I hope you guys have a great night and enjoy some good food.
