I am creating a faucet and noticed why some faucets like motherfaucet, moonbitcoin and freebitcoin can pay more to users.
Looks like if you pay to users with the Xapo credit api you can do it via email ( if the user is Xapo user) or address (if user is non-xapo user).
Now Im trying to understand how faucets can pay more if they use Xapo.
Looks like if you pay to a Xapo user there is no fee because it's off blockchain. If you pay a non-Xapo user Xapo returns the miner fee to the faucet owner.
Does this make sense? Can anyone using them say if this is correct?
Yes, if you set up a Xapo faucet whether via the script (
https://github.com/chipshotDEV/FaucetBuilder) or through the APIs (
https://developers.xapo.com/api/#credit-api) there are
no associated costs or fees, which allows for faucet owners to payout more to their users. The transactions are also much faster than alternatives; Xapo transactions are instantaneous and non-Xapo transactions are >24 hours.
Once you create the faucet, be sure to get your faucet on the Xapo faucet lists!
