The minimum was raised because I am processing around 50 $1 withdraw requests a day while ads are generating only $10 a day. Which means I am giving you all money out of my pocket but you are so unappreciative that you complain about waiting a few more days to withdraw. This is why Satoshi Faucets continue to close.
Agree as always, for me feel free to keep payout to 0.012 if this help not play bad jokes like ace of coins or satoshi island.
