I believe your sentiment to be accurate. You are absolutely right on Faucetbox's approach here and I can appreciate what your saying from a long term standpoint. I myself only use faucets, I do not own one and I suppose our priorities differ in that I just want to get paid I suppose.
Is there no possible way in which you faucet owners could club together and create a service yourselves? At least this way, you all would have more control over this arena as a community. This way trust would not be such an issue going forward. Even though we faucet users have funds stuck etc, I also feel really bad for the faucet owners. As someone rightly stated here, this saga reflects on your reputation and your hands are completely tied on the matter. It's really not fair whats happened here, for all parties involved.
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, and support this. I would love to form a group of self-dependent faucet owners and a network system that we can rely on.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I am willing to have a conversation about potentially purchasing microwallet to allow this service to continue to run for those who prefer it. I hit walls with MW not responding about it when I post this offer. Which shocks me too, because I thought a potential buyer is what they wanted so they could legit get out.
Yes this is very surprising and makes no sense why they wouldn't take you up on your offer when this was their primary intention. I Can only assume they haven't seen your mail due to not reading their mail or they have already made the decision in running of with user funds as a plan B to come out of this with something...
Does anybody actually know who is behind Microwallet? Because the longer this goes on the more it is looking like they are stringing people along to milk their BTC account. This is becoming a matter of theft. Their absence of communication suggests just that to me.
There has been no evidence that proves there has been any problem with the API and it all seems very coincidental that they happen to have API problems right after they extend the payment duration to 7 days.... it all looks like stalling tactics to me. Of course I could be wrong. But I don't see Microwallet making any efforts to ease peoples minds here. They have defaulted on a payment deadline and then failed to deliver on an extended payment promise.
