I like the idea of a lottery, the problem with them is the users that have been there longer dominate it because they can easily afford more tickets, it will be unbalanced, you see it on freebitco.in all the time.

This is true. So maybe a limit then, one ticket every hour OR maybe you can give out random tickets when claiming.

Another thing you can do instead of someone buying with satoshi is offer a ticket for every link shortener the do (similar to the cool down reduction that the site already has). You'll want to limit it there too, but every user could have the same fair chances to them.

How much of a nerf are we talking? Right now I can see it being a long time until 25k, if it gets nerfed I'm honestly doubting it will be worth it.

The possible nerf is SPC = SPC upgrade level, so instead of getting +1, +1.5, +2 after each upgrade, it would just rise by +1. And I understand that it can take much longer but hey, you'll be able to payout from 100 Satoshi. I'm still waiting for opinions and suggestions, maybe you guys have some cool ideas for Simplysato, I offer small bounties for helping out

I'm thinking you could impliment little games to keep people at your site. Most sites add a coin gambling game (you flip a coin), but I like the idea of a paper, rock, scissors game. If you win (33% chance), you could win time reductions, lottery tickets (if this is implimented), small temporary upgrades (maybe 1min mining nachines?) or tiny amounts of satoshi-- maybe limit this game to once every 3-5 minutes.

I once played a game where you paid a little something to select one out of 10 boxes. In the boxes (that the player didn't know what was in them until they made their pick) 2 boxes gave you less than you gambled(10% less), 2 made you broke even, 2 gave you very little profit(10% more), 2 gave you some profit(30%), 1 gave you decent profit (40%) and 1 gave you a grand amount(150%).

Idk what you want to do, but any of those boxes could contain whatever you wish (doesn't have to be Satoshi). A break from popups for the next ten claims would even be pretty cool (if you knew how to code it).

I've been playing your site for the day, and I already got the Dirtminer. I was thinking it might be beneficial for you to add a limit on how many satoshi it can collect before you have to come back and claim. Like others have said here, when people upgrade, they tend to earn (the entire player base) more than the site does, and these generators are not providing any sort satoshi to the site (other than purchase price, but if it profits players how will it profit site?).

I LOVE the generators, but very few have been able to pull it off for years. Most of the ones that do start off giving you satoshi very fast, and then the amount tapers off until you come back and claim, resetting the 'program' (such as moon.bit).

The goal is first to profit the site, because then site can give to its users.

I see that you all like the Gambling idea, so I will implement it in the near future. The link shorteners that are currently reducing the countdown will most likely be changed to give some good bounties, and will take use in lotteries and such. The box idea is pretty cool too, I will consider adding it to Simplysato.

And you are totally right at this point. I ran too much forward with giving away Satoshi, which became pretty much unprofitable at this point, that's why I've implemented a temporary nerf to Satoshi per Click, and I'm going to think about the possible solutions to resolve that. Advertising companies didn't really get along with my site so for now I have to stick to my Popups and URL shorteners. I really apologize for this situation, however I WILL payout to anyone who will make a withdrawal request, because this site is not a scam, you don't need to worry about it. If I'd ran out of money for Simplysato, I would just tell you that you need to wait a bit more for the payment, while I'll be waiting for the ad revenue.

(Other than that, I will soon launch a second faucet with a different concept, of course it will be also a game. A Satoshi game that was never released before. Stay tuned.)

I had commented earlier about adding lottery with mining option for tickets, I don't know you have seen that or not. But that idea can actually give you confirm profit since the site is running unprofitable at this moment
