Can you setup a underfunded, integrated faucet so that new users immediately can receive (automatically) sats needed to get started?
Faucets are hard because it's easy for someone to write a script that registers lots of accounts and drains the faucet. Hopefully we can figure out a way to prevent that though.
Maybe use CoinText.io registering for users wanting some free satoshis by requesting the phone number (off-chain). I know it's not ready worldwide, but it could be a possibility soon.
cant we just make a normal faucet with way too many ads so it gets funded, but it sends the money instantly, onchain? (or maybe after just a few faucet claims, dunno how much ads make)
IP/subnet check / filter tor exit nodes.
If you need VPN or Botnet to siphon, then you won't be making any money. Might still do it to attack though. Probably should have captcha too.
A button to fund an unfunded account with a profile would be a good start.
Couple ideas. IP addr limits. Faucet accts locked from export priv key for week. Only give enough to make 3 posts, can beg for more. Make it cost more to game than worth.
"Make it cost more to game than worth." << The only security method that works.
Just sent some bch through bitcoin.com. Surprise: they allow me to send a short text
Could we have this option while tipping?
Yes, replies w/ tips will probably be added at some point.
something based on BCH. Like Peer-Sponsoring. An incognito Faucet is of little value.
