Thanks for the feedback guys. One thing I'd like people to think about is concentration on the faucet versus concentration on using the system. If you like the technical aspects of the system, no transaction fees and speed, attention due to the faucet isn't a long term sustainable solution.
The only thing that sustains the system long term is developing bona-fide usefulness. When people want to use the system because it solves their issues better and more cheaply than the alternatives, that's what'll make everything work long term.
how about closing faucet i think its causing more problems current amount of coins is ok
The point of continuing the faucet is so early discoverers aren't overly favored. You're right though, even the current amount of xrb out there would be enough to probably last forever without needing something like a split.
you can see it as those that believed it early will reap the benefits and its not like your closing the faucet for trading reasons but genuinely because its affecting the real work. i would rather have you keep 1 million coins for development purposes and work on rai rather than spending months refixing the faucet again and again.
I did support re-starting the faucet before when this was being discussed, but I've been astounded by just how demanding a lot of faucet users seem to be. I was grateful to get some free coins however it went, but others seem to think its their right to be given free stuff and be very demanding and pushy if they don't get it given to them just how they want it.
If stopping the faucet would have a significant positive impact on development work then I would also agree that its probably a good thing.
