These faucets are great platform to bring on new adopters for crypto as a whole, this should not be underestimated... It would be sad to see faucets fall because of this... Could you not all club together and employ a trusted party to run a service much like microwallet does? Surely this is a possibility? Fees alone would fund such a project if the right business model was implemented surely. What are owners thoughts on this?

I agree that faucets shouldn't be underestimated. I've been working on a website that would be a guide for new people (to cryptocurrencies) to learn more about what they are, what they can do, etc. I wanted to have a large list of (tested and proved to work) faucets for them to get their feet wet, so to speak and learn about having a wallet... However, at this point, there's only a few Moon Bit/Doge and Free Bit/Doge that are paying out and I feel like I can't recommend any other faucets at this point. I'm just sort of waiting it out to see what happens.

I don't know how moonbit.co.in and freebitco.in do their specific payouts, but I wouldn't mind if other faucets went their route. But, it was nice that Microwallet pooled multiple faucets together, because it was a lot easier to hit the minimum withdrawal limit.

When you scope around all the faucets, a lot are going through the motions or have already integrated payments in house, but this is only a small percentage when you consider all that is out there. Land of bitcoin/Microwallets approach works well in my opinion. It's just a matter of maintaining such a service really and delivering on specified deadlines for payment.

7 days wait doesn't cut it for me anyways even if they did pay on time. There are many microwallet faucets not even listed on Landofbitcoin these days which kind of defeats the object of having multiple faucets in one place. They clearly have neglected their list as of late. I don't believe one can be half arsed about these things. They should pay their users and shut down and make way for a service that is willing to put the effort in and evolve and maintain such a service as opposed to becoming complacent like microwallet have here.

Yes, the Landofbitcoin page that let you go from one faucet to the next, was a perfect idea. Though I had started to notice a few were dry, and I couldn't find a way to blacklist those sites from being used when you click to the next site. And of course there were sites not listed. It was a great idea, but poorly executed.

I do wish they'd just give it up and sell it to someone who could be trusted and would take care of it.
