Looks like our faucet is dead. I tried to add a few IXC and they never showed up.

We should look into getting another faucet going. That will put the block chain to use and hopefully get more people involved with iXcoin.

This one looks good, but I haven't had time to contact them. Maybe deadsea could look into it.

How secure are these faucet sites, cause I see mostly worthless coins on there. Is it a lot of work to have our own faucet site? CryptoGuru.tk ain't got nothing on something like CryptoRush.com.

And I also believe Luke or Friction set up a faucet a while back but I don't remember what site.

There are pros and cons to having your own site. Right now we don't have someone who can build and host an iXcoin faucet, so we don't have many choices. A community faucet with many coins already has clients, so we'll get cross pollination from other coins and a quicker influx of new users.

Regarding security, well, we're giving away the coins on the faucet anyway. So it's not like we'd be loosing anything if someone hacks the site.

My main concern with any faucet is how do we know how many different people are actually downloading coins. If there are 50 drips per day, is that 50 different people or one person with 50 addresses. But these are just the risks we take to increase our clientele. Even if it's one guy, that's still one more user than we had before.
