Testing new feature:

To lower the threshold every 3 hours the faucet will be paused for 1 hour. In 24 hours, the faucet will be paused for 6 hours.

Payout will perform even if faucet is paused.

I don't think it will lower the threshold by very much but the main point is: why should we worry about the threshold limit?
It should be considered as mining "difficulty" and we need to keep in mind that it sets itself in a equilibrium. E.g. i did some claims in the past but i'm not going to now, some people are still willing to claim, the threshold is set high by the people that are willing to claim and accept current rewards \ threshold levels.
I'd like to mine BTC with my PC too but i can't, since many many other machines are doing it atm. It's the same for XRB.

This.

The RaiBlocks market will continue being a dumpfest unless they become harder to get. Increased difficulty and increased price go hand in hand.

What will you do if RaiBlocks gets pumped to 10x it's current price and a flood of new claimers comes in? Take steps to reduce the threshold again?
