Currenly the reward is 1ツ every 72 hours but I feel it’s too litle and I do want to be generous somewhat with it, But I also don’t want it to be abused and giving away hundreds of Grin per month. So I ask, which of the following proposals make it attractive enough in your opinion?
Dunno why it couldn’t send me the Grin over Tor but it seems to have fallen back to a slatepack tx which worked fine. When falling back to slatepacks it might be an idea to include a COPY button since it is a little fiddly to copy/paste manually with this output and would probably confuse noobs. Just a suggestion.
I have zero clue why my CORS setup doesn’t work Tor when the testnet faucet is just fine. And thank you for the suggestion about the copy button, the next step is to get the outputs cleaned up from their raw form like that, add a copy button, and also add the option to finalize transactions on the front end if it spits out a slatepack.
Yeah that’s what happens when it spits out a slatepack. I have trimmed the outputted slatepack to everything between BEGINSLATEPACK and ENDSLATEPACK. I added the copy to clipboard button you requested so that will be easier. I am going to start on the finalization box, I already have it enabled in the backend IIRC.
This is the end result, I still plan on adding a finalization step, but after I spent 8+ hours trying to automate it via bash scripting only for grin-wallet to not finalize anything after successfully submitting the slatepack and executing printf “\r\n”. So I need a break before I dig in to the API calls I need to run for finalization.
I wrote a Python script that has enabled the faucet to finalize slatepack transactions so anyone can claim free ツ whether automatically via TOR or manually with a slatepack if they so please and don’t want to start their wallet listener.
I’ve made an executable. and am now building it as a Rust web app and will provide a more generic front end so anyone who wants to host one can quickly brand it to themselves instead of the bolder theming I gravitate towards.
I still have some questions about a mainnet faucet how to help the grin project. Is it about attracting users to hold grin? Particularly attracting software developers?
How much grins does this mainnet faucet cost you each month? Thank you for your job, you are passionate about the grin project.
我还有一些疑问,就是如何帮助到grin project.
是吸引到用户持有grin吗?特别吸引到软件开发的程序员
这大约耗费每个月你多少grin
感谢你,你对grinproject充满热情
The faucet is just a service I feel like people will enjoy and since I had already made a Testnet faucet it made me go back and tighten up the security and privacy involved. I figure it might get a few people to maybe download Grim to try it out on a whim. I never underestimate the lengths people will go through for very little reward.
I had people claiming coins like crazy last night and still got quite a few during today. I’m not worried about cost, I already have the infrastructure that’s ideal for hosting and I’m fine about giving away a few block rewards every month if it makes people happy or helps Grin in any way.
ok,I get it
I’m afraid you’ll spend too much grin, so I’m planning to donate some grin to you.
People from different countries have different concepts of money, and people from different social classes have varying earning abilities. In the third world, people struggle to make a living, and 50 cents may be their daily income.
I would greatly appreciate a donation, but to really help me out send 5 or 10ツ at a time so that there are plenty of UTXOs to go around. I originally only had 3 UTXOs and that made the faucet run dry while waiting for confirmations.
And I understand completely about varying degrees of wealth and I’d never shame someone poor for being excited to get free money. I’m considered exceptionally poor compared to the average American. My disability pay isn’t enough to get my own place, and since I have no family I have rely on charity and put trust in others to have a place to live.
