Yes it doesn't get rid of the sites you unfollow from the main list, there is a tab to the far left on the list page 'your followed sites' that holds only the sites you have set as 'follow' so you assumed correct there.
I just looked again, and it looks like it worked, but I don't know why that's not the default state it's in, since that's the only reason people would un-follow a site, IMHO.
Also, again, I'm reminded of all the faucet websites listed on their site. I used to visit them, with microwallet not paying out, imagine all the hits all those websites are NOT getting thanks to microwallet's actions (or inaction to pay to be exact).
I've been using this Xapo wallet for last few days and I'm impressed. Would this not be a solution for all faucets? I don't know what needs to be done to implement it to a faucet but I know it literally sends payment straight to the users Xapo wallet which eliminates the need for the user to reach minimum payout. I'm seen a few faucets with this service and they are pushing it hard so it must be a cost effective solution for them.
I tried that website once, couldn't load it in the browser I was using. I found out it worked in another browser, but I didn't want to do that everytime I used it. Then I tried to see how to transfer funds out of it, and it requires a cell phone number (not everyone has one), it requires your name, address, and social security number. Also I found
this article, and someone said something about them protecting your money but only if you pay to keep it in the vault, but I'm not 100% sure on that part. I just know from my brief experiences looking at their website, I'd rather not use it. Just my initial impression of them.
