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.

I can confirm that even with the -proxy parameter disabled, users can still connect via proxy (at least with Windows). FindCoin has this disabled, but I was able to run 5 separate wallets via HTTPS proxies and received coins for each one. Until this can be addressed and fixed, I have to agree that proof of faucet coins need some type of additional security to prevent abuse.

Long time lurker and first time poster. I just wanted to put in my 2 cents about this coin. I'm pretty new to crypto and really happy I came across FindCoin. It's been a great coin for me to learn without costing me anything up front. While I'm all for pushing this coin to an exchange so I can profit myself, I agree that listing this coin right now is a bad idea. The only reason I say that is because the sole purpose of this coin was to be scam and abuse free and at this time, it's not.

To see if I could get more than one deposit per machine, I tested it out. I was able to setup a VM, install 5 separate wallets, write a simple bat to launch the wallets, and then receive a faucet deposit for each wallet via it's own HTTPS proxy. Even though some of you here probably already know how to circumvent the faucet IP checks, I'm not going to go into any detail about how I did it publicly. However, I would be happy to assist the dev team in any way that I can to prevent the abuse and solidify the coin.

I just wanted to thank the team for taking it slow and getting it right before a potential exchange launch. With users buying up Findyoucoins and exchanging them for FindCoins, plus the ability to get around the IP check for faucets, I agree that a launch right now would harm the coin ten fold. Maybe it should have been listed on launch, maybe not. But, every coin is an experiment and I really like the way this coin is going, even if it's not worth anything right now.
