FYI this faucet will not be coming back anytime soon. My free time is now practically nil as my PhD studies have gotten way more intense. the site overhaul I had planned will take a lot of time and right now I do not have that time. Personally I love faucets but from my experience it isn’t something the community is really pushing for, and that’s fine. But thanks to anyone and everyone who used feathercoop in the short time it was around. If the community really wants another faucet later and I have the time I will bring it back but right now is not possible. I am also taking a step back from the community for a while, hopefully it’s still here in full swing when I can return.

Peace,

Chris,

While I appreciate the work you do around here and the FTC tipping for a DJ is a really cool idea, if he really wants that game he can buy crypto with his own money instead of asking for donations/tips. I don’t ming tipping him just for playing a set, but adding in the stipulation that it’s all for a videogame is a huge turn off and in my opinion is not what the community should be about

Yay no more scam coin affiliation

Just a heads up. I’ll be taking feathercoop faucet down this week for maintenance. I expect it to be down for a couple of weeks while I revamp/rebrand the faucet. I’ll leave up a splash page to inform visitors who don’t peruse the forum. All donations during maintenance will be accepted and used for payouts once up. With the revamp I intend on upping the reward. Please be patient with me while I get the faucet back up.

Cheers

Welcome chrisj, goodbye wesphilly. Just 2 of the names associated with FTC

Pretty sure I have a couple laying around somewhere, I’ll have to take a look. But if I find them and you’re still interested I wouldn’t mind parting with them

It appears to be back to normal

Just took a look at my ftc wallet on my Android phone and the fiat conversion rates are completely out,of wack. As an example 0.4ftc is showing up as $41! Does anyone know if the creator frequents the forum? He/she might want to know.

Thanks goes out to you two as well, :). Now we just need more people to run faucets, :p.

Just an fyi, I will be working on a redesign of the faucet including a new domain. Once I get back from vacation and have some spare time (i.e. Not busy in the lab). Will update you with new address once I’m done

Sounds great. Keep me updated, :).

Edit: Sorry guys, dot.tk’s NS server crashed. As soon as it’s back up I’ll forward the sites to my personal NS.

Is there anyway to make it show a holding page because we got a complaint on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JDog2233/status/369419644416692224

Thanks.

The instant scam accusation is really infuriating, raptorek and myself are trying our best to get ftc into the hands of the masses, people have to realize things don’t always go smoothly. Anyway let’s be positive, the rotator is a good idea and my faucet is not a scam. Forum users such as Owlie can back us up on this as I know he/she has been paid out from the site.

In an effort to be more constructive so that my replies aren’t taken as hostile, I think 2% is fair. Of course it’s your decision. I personally prefer it to be donation driven but I understand you want a steady income to offset costs.

As nutnut said, do you know what pps is? (not meant in a bad way)

The reason i ask is because you prefer a pps pool to be donation driven?

Its not nutnut that wants a steady income,he is gambling!=)
he wants to offer miners a steady income…

Ok guys educate me, I know what pplns is so how is pps more of a risk for the pool operator? Why is pps more risky for you than pplns? What is the added risk? And why does this risk comply you to add a 4% fee as opposed to 3, or 5, etc. What do miners gain for joining a pps pool at 4% as opposed to a donation driven pplns or other type of pool? It’s this whole risk thing that I’m not understanding. Again, not meaning to be hostile or a bother, just want to understand what on initial reading sounds like a poor deal. Not implying that it is a poor deal and conceding a lack of knowledge on my part.

Just being honest guys, don’t get butt hurt

Not with that fee

Got to agree with unkunku on this one.

Bitcoin is dead? Nope

You know there is an FTC faucet that is looking for donations
[/quote]

I do not feel faucet is the right way. Instead of giving new members a small amount. i think its better to give “dedicated” members some “extra” appreciation.
Sure its nice to become a new member and have a one ftc or two. But i do think that gathering a project pot is an even better idea.

Just look at justabitoftime/bushstar when they started the FTC, there where bounties to collect for different stuff that needed to be done. This should still be in play.
The comunity donate whatever they feel in a pot, then FTC can use that pot to expand/outsource work that should have been done one the coin.
Just look how fast things where getting done from the comunity when there was an carrot dangling in front of their faces=)

If someone have alot of FTC then contributing to that pot would increase their investment by making it an even better coin to own.

However i do think that creating a “pot” for charity is a great idea. Instead of trying to start something, why not gather a pot beforehand,
Then when the time comes and the pot is large enough we brainstorm about different charities and then have a vote of em.
Its also alot easier to contact a charity and explain “digital currency” when they see that theres allready “money” to be donated

Just my thought…

AFAIK no charity will accept crypto, no real charity anyway just plenty of scammers. It’s my opinion that getting ftc into more peoples hands is a much better way to promote the coin instead of lining our own pockets. But that’s just me…
