I personally would rather people just go to the markets, no need for Faucets that are donated or funded. I just don't like gimmicky feel to it all. It is like your coin isn't worth buying so they give it away kind of sounding to me.
What we need is to require people to buy coin to use the functions. Make it so you either have PoS for a certain amount of coin 100 to 1000 coins to protect the blockchain or you have so much coin that you can send a fee in that would burn it into boosting PoS. Maybe like a PoS burn in coin for those who don't want to leave their computers on but use the service of Opal Drive. This would make more PoS available than normal since the Fees accrue due to usage. Then it blossoms with usage and people get a very large PoS reward if staking/using opal drive.
I hope this gets incorporated in the final Opal Drive. It kind of mimics drive mining. Since you either PaY or PoS. This would benefit everyone using Opal by burning the fees into a new PoS coin to be mined later perpetually.
