Its a great idea I may come to see you soon. Do you have a minimum / maximum amount?

At the moment, it's a fixed amount of 0.0005 (50.000 tSatoshi's), i'll give an explanation under dkbit98's question Wink

I think that I noticed one typo mistake on that website.
You may need to correct this

What will you to with the tBTC?

Would also be nice to have a bit higher amounts on tBTC

typo fixed Cheesy

Thanks for notifying me... I'm a dyslectic dutch speaking system engineer, it's hard for me to write a single sentence that doesn't contain spelling errors, let alone create a complete page, so all spellchecking help is more than welcome!

As for the higher amounts: i'm currently in the phase of testing the waters. The main goal of this faucet is to earn enough from a-ads, my affiliate links, the voluntary web mining after the claim and tips to either rent some hashrate or buy a second hand ASIC to mine on the testnet (i'm trying to reach a break even point, i'm not interested in making money from this faucet, but i don't want to invest to much of my own money in it either). The big "problem" is that the coinbase reward on the testnet is low (0.39 tBTC + fees) and the hashrate on the test network is high. Basically, most tBTC has already been mined, the utxo's are sitting in the chainstate db forever, nobody is giving them away, nobody is using them, but several people are still mining on the testnet using ASIC's... So i have to figure out how much i can give away to reach a status quo where the income =~ the cost (tBTC is worthless, but this doesn't mean it's free to mine).

In all honestly, 50.000 tSatoshi's is a low amount, the odds of the claim amount rising to 100.000 in the next couple of weeks/months is big, but everything will depend on how much tBTC is returned to me, and how much income i get from the site.

Fantastic work, moca, and yeah I've even tried to help in the past collect enough testnet coins for someone else but too many bitcoiners are like me, unable to code =\. That said, I believe most of these projects died out after a while simply because they weren't replenished, so it's also really helpful to just request people to send back the coins to the faucet once they're done testing - maybe make it more visible right next to claim!

I do really hope people will return the tBTC, like i said above: tBTC is worthless, but that doesn't make it easy to come by, so the more worthless tBTC is returned, the more people i can help.

I incorporated your tip, i've put my line begging the people to return the tBTC next to the claim button aswell Wink
