Starting the faucet was the right decision in my opinion. Btw, what is the total budget of the faucet?
faucet.nem.io
but that faucet has no ads, so is not self suporting, and u can use it twice a day, that dosent make a lot of network traffic
The point of the faucet is to let people test NEM that don't want to buy into it before having tested it. It's not there to create traffic.
