Re: [ANN][FLT] Fluttercoin Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ | Proof of Transaction 3.0

what is that coinhive Undecided

just crush my little computer Cry

Sorry, much need to keep those script kiddies from gaming the faucet any further.

So an explanation as to why I choose this route is probably in order.
For those of you who don't know what coinhive is, it is a browser based XMR mining company. The software they developed to do this has become very popular with bad bad people. It maybe seen or you may have heard of it has JS/Miner. But after several months of testing this company's info. I can indeed say it is safe to use. The javascript does indeed allow you to control its behavior 100%. I have also tested to see if it remained resident in my test systems. It does not. Soon as you closer your browser or even move to another tab the software stops.

After that brief little explanation of what the coinhive proof of work is, here is what I plan to do with any if at all funds generated by this method.
All XMR will be traded for fluttercoins at a split of 20% back to faucet and 80% to dev fund of the developers choice.

As of know, the current proof of work required to do is 2048 hashes.

But as I stated in another post. The faucet, as long it is working as intended and not being gamed, is low on my priority list at the moment.

thanks for explanation.

yeah the faucet is needed a captcha system. Maybe it can be recaptcha + a math solving captcha somthing else .. that coinhive is really imposible because of needing computer hardware. faucets are for beginners or somebodies have time but not have money Wink

Have tested the coinhive on my tablet and phone. While it does work fine on my tablet the phone does tend to lock up. Even my old IBM 2.2ghz with 512Mb server can handle it just fine. With my 8 core desktop taking about 30 seconds to figure the math problems. The old IBM takes about 5 minutes. Still do able. Recaptch and other forms of captchas can be thwarted fairly easily with advances being made in machine learning, botnets and a few other tricks.

But to that end, you can thank the butt sucking script kiddie out there for ruining it for everyone.
I have lowered the hashes from 2048 to 1024.

Now if that is asking too much, I'll be more then happy to remove the coinhive from the faucet and just set the payment output to 10 coins a week and if the script kiddie comes around again and crashes the faucet.....i'll just leave it in that state for awhile.

Its been dishing out free coins since late 2014, random amounts from 1 to 30 coins. If you add up the transactions on the faucet...and the coins the devs and myself have put into it to give out for free....Then I think it is fair to say coinhive is worth the time it takes to get some freebies.

But feel free to join our discord channel and post suggestions or ideas for the faucet in the faucet channel. I'll look them over.
