Yes we had actually started making everything automatic, but due to Exbitron we added an 'approval' step
The actual withdrawal process is still completely automated; we just need the approval to happen (which is manual right now)
Yes, I understand this, and as I said, it isn't as bad as a security measure. The problem, though, is that everyone will have to wait until the deadline at 10:00 AM UTC for their withdrawal to be processed. At least, this is what I understand.
I see a change in your Faucets display, and it's significantly better than the previous one. Showing the amount of each coin makes it more helpful, as does the removal of the drop-down menu.

Faucets display: Thanks! We've may make a few more tweaks but generally yes we're moving in this direction (tabulated format)
Everyone will have to wait until 10AM UTC: Actually no. We assure that all withdrawal payouts will be done BEFORE 10AM. For example we just did a few payouts 10 minutes ago, and we keep doing that every few hours so our users don't need to wait.
So unless a withdrawal request was submitted at 9:45AM UTC (because that's too close to the 10AM deadline) we try to push it through ASAP.
After review of course.
