You could require users to register their wallet before they start to receive the faucet. Then drip a larger % to those who register. Or start dripping new wallets slower and run checks for ip changes. then just drip a small amount like .1 FIND to wallets with ip's bouncing all over the world. You can run tons of IP checks and run a scoring algo on the wallet before giving out the coins. There are many circumstances where IP's will change, and while a wallet could be hit if someone travels or whatever, a scoring algo could reinstate them later on. The key is maintaining the proof of faucet concept by consistently delivering coins, but not to the wrong people. No matter what you do, the ratio of downloaded/opened wallets will never match.

Or just use something like maxmind for risk based order fraud detection, they take parameters like location, residential/enterprise ISP, open service ports like http, proxy etc etc. People on tor will be doomed though, as well as everyone running wallets on VMs.
Do you thing that VM falls from the sky? If you did, ASIC miner would also be.

If you hammer a ton of them with the right exploit, VMs and dedies do really fall from the sky. Or you can pay $10 to rent someone's botnet for a while, or steal it, or you can build your own, or you can get a ton of free month coupons for google cloud, depends on your skill level. The internet is the wild west if you're new to it, just because you can't figure out ways to abuse a system, doesn't mean a ton of other people wont.

Now since I am not exploiting this faucet, can someone let me know if the distribution is still on.
This wallet takes up 50% of my CPU power and around 100mb RAM.
Why does it need that much CPU?

I am mining other coins at the same time and they do not require that much processing power.
