New Feathercoin Daily Faucet. Looking for donations!
-
I’ve set up an FTC faucet at http://feathercoop.wordpress.com/ and I’m looking for donations at:6qm83CDJvYgGhoV9jB95PFu5wDnXM5UR4J
The faucet will be/is a one submit every 24hrs with once weekly payments. I figure this will make it more manageable for me to maintain. I’d like to pay out at least 1FTC per day, however I may have to reduce it if I can’t sustain it for very long with whatever donations I receive and personal FTC I put in.
Obviously this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but I’ve always had the mindset that faucets are a good way to introduce the otherwise uneducated masses about the coin. We don’t really have any FTC faucets right now, there was one I found a week or so ago but it seems clear that whomever is operating it is not able/willing to payout. There is also the altcoin.tk faucet that has a phenixcoin option, but no Feathercoin option, although there are plans to add it in the future.
So why not help spread the word of FTC through a faucet maintained by a community regular? Of course it’s entirely up to you, but thanks for the consideration (you are reading this after all!)

i have tried to contact that one feathercoin faucet with the hand but still no reply or any kind of acknowledgement.It may be just abandoned. I have some faucet software to create or basically just modify some lines and add in feathercoins and phenixcoins and worldcoins. I have like 3 different setups, but just havent had the time yet to play with it. i will try and work on at least one this upcoming week.
by the way i like your site and Feathercoop just rocks :)

cheers, really appreciate it. looking forward to your faucet when it comes up. I’d also be willing to expand to WDC and PXC however I do not have any of those coins myself to even put into the faucet. I’d love to see the code you’re working on, I think it would be good to see another way of making a faucet. I might learn something new!I checked the faucet this morning and so far we’ve had some people submits! Also well done on the science trivia everyone (captcha). I’ll assess payouts at the end of the week, but so far I’m encouraged. I will also add that if anyone with an FTC/PXC/WDC site (including this one)would like to advertise via a tasteful ad on the faucet in exchange for faucet capital PLEASE PM me. I want to keep this faucet going for as long as possible!

already had some traffic from a variety of places. first payments will be sent Sunday night. if anyone on here has used my faucet would you please post confirmation of the payout when it occurs?

Site redesign in the works, however, the faucet is still running with payouts scheduled for Sunday! Just out of curiosity, are people wanting PXC and/or WDC faucets? Modifying the faucet will be extremely simple.

Great work. Such a great way to support FTC. Have submitted my address. I got started in the world of cryptocurrency by using BTC faucets and sites that pay micro-BTC for completing tasks. I have recently traded some of this BTC for FTC and although I only have 35 FTC so far, it is the spirit of the community that inspires me most. Faucets are such a good way to get currency widespread as people can get involved without risking anything and once holding FTC they are more likely to invest in more. Mining is great but impossible for someone like me who only has a laptop. Anyway best of luck with this and many thanks. :)

[/quote]those 2 being our partners as well as of current, only 1 faucet works for phenix and while there are 3 for worldcoin, none are paying. i would post a request in each of their forums and you would most likey get donations to start both of them.
Faucets are excellent starter up places for new people just getting into the crypto coin currency. You would be amazed on how many people i see sign up for the newbie bitcoin lottery that portnoy adds to his 1000 member 6 month guaranteed on list free lottery.

[/quote]Maybe once the redesign is completed and the faucet has paid out a few times I’ll head over to their forums and bring it up. I assume, and it makes sense, that I need to establish a track record before people will donate to the faucet. Sunday can’t come soon enough!

Thanks for the faucet! It would be better if there was some timer on it though… it’s hard when faucets just say “24 hours” because without a timer, we have to remember what time we went each day. For example, since I just input my info, is *anytime* tomorrow fine, or does it have to be after (timenow+24hours)?

You are indeed correct that a timer is necessary, I am working on it for the redesign. As the faucet stands I use only the date, so technically you don’t have to do one every 24hrs, just once per day. So far only one person has abused the faucet by submitting twice in a matter of a couple of minutes. Even though the faucet is running with some small funding by myself, this is by no means the finished product! If you or anyone has suggestions for features I’ll see what I can do. At the moment I’m working on a general redesign, better Captcha instead of trivia, timer for submissions, and I plan on blocking tor to prevent abuse. If anyone would like to suggest anything just leave a message :)
