BURST FAUCET: "Wallet NOT accessible"???
-
@Ndabezitha Whoever runs the .biz faucet seems to have limited burst. It paid out a few times but after that always says to wait x amount of minutes now.
-
@newsense2004 On average, the faucet has paid out 52 Burst per user - that's 5 visits per user over 60 days. That's reasonable. Some accounts have visited 150+ times - that's not reasonable. The faucets are there to get people started, they're not intended as a revenue steam.
-
@newsense2004 I run the .biz one as well - and I've not put any limitations on it. Not sure why it's telling you to wait X minutes - did it to me as well - will look into it.

@haitch I think there may be a misunderstanding because of the concept of BTC faucets where people claim as much as they can in order to have an additional another source of income. In my opinion, @Ndabezitha is quite right : as it is not explicitely said that the faucet are only there to help to get people started, a lot of guys took it for granted that they could claim the same way they do for any BTC faucet.
With that said, we are all very grateful for you generosity. I didn't know you paid it all from your pocket, so reducing the amount to 5 is the best thing to do right now. I'm sending a few coins to the faucet, hope this helps.

@Gadrah_ yeah, I never stated the purpose of the faucet - my fault. When the faucet was ad supported the cost didn't bother me, but now we've lost the ads and the faucet cost has increased to 5,000 Burst per day out of my wallet, people using it as an income source bothers me. Claiming 5 times, which is the average, no problem, claiming 150 times - yeah, not ok. I set it up with a generous payout and low reclaim interval, not expecting that people would abuse it. Apparently I have an issue misjudging people. People need to realize that the funds that they're getting from the faucet was other peoples coin. It may be mine, it may be donations from donors - but it is other peoples coin they've provided to help people get started. I, and I presume others, don't expect our funds to be other peoples income stream.
The BTC faucets are generally ad funded - if I can get back onto an ad service that won't ban me for advertising on the faucet, then I'll be less concerned about faucet abuse, but until then I'd prefer the faucet is used, and not abused. And if necessary, I'll take steps to make sure it isn't.

@haitch Wow, I am not sure how people are claiming 150 times a day because they let me claim like two or 3 times a day. I get maybe 30 burst a day from 4 faucets. 150 times a day is insane.
-
@newsense2004 It's not 150 times a day, it's 150 times since that faucet was launched.
-
@Gadrah_ Ahh sorry, misread that. In that case I will stop using them cause my 2 to 3 times a day is going to add up and I don't want to take people's money. To be honest I didn't know I was doing anything wrong but it makes sense now, thanks for the info guys.
-
@newsense2004 150 times since the faucet was launched 60 days ago - twice a day now, and as often as possible before I extended the reclaim interval.

I believe it's high time we find sponsors and donors? Anybody who has found their footing and are doing well in mining, or whatever activity, I believe they would be quite happy to assist, if kindly requested? I don't know. Just a humble thought.
