Re: [ANN] Microwallet.org - API + free faucet script, start your own faucet!
Let us look at this logically... If microwallet.org is/was offering it as a free service, what would motivate 3 others (who would replace microwallet) to also run it as a free service? There would have to be some skimming/commission for most people to be interested.
My concern as a potential buyer of the scripts was exactly that, how much time/maintenance is involved. I asked that of Land Of Bitcoin and he said he would be putting up an FAQ that would answer my questions. It is not up yet.
I am all about solid automation, the more the better. Personally I wont buy the scripts if it requires too much of my time, even if I can monetize it.
Concerning that they want around 2,000 USD as per https://www.microwallet.org/index/sale as that would put off most potential buyers, especially if the expectation is that there will be no revenue and time in maintaining it.
I would be happy to run it on one of my TLDs or a sub domain of a TLD I have, and would be good to have them around for a bit to bed it in. Once operational my plan would be to monetize it with a small commission to help with costs and feed some to the dev for their work and effort, which would foresee ably be more than the 4btc asking price over time but then I would also expect minimal maintenence, such as more along the lines of monitoring and backing up, etc.
Well there is my unofficial bid....
One big selling point from my side would be that I do not need to prove ROI in a short time as it would be set up on a VM with no real cost to me, as I already have the rack space and data being paid for for the other VMs running on the servers, so it would piggyback off the existing hardware and connections (ok, so it will cost me an IP address... I don't use all of my allocation, so no issue).
