The initial 20k GRC donation, which has only been given once, has been used up in its full and was never given out to anyone without a CPID. Sponsored funds was always required to have a valid CPID to receive. It does not require you to have 10k GRC though, just that you have a valid CPID.

I have however given out a lot of coins for free to anyone with just a single address. Some users abused this and claimed to several of their addresses from different units or IP addresses.

This is the reason I decided to stop giving free coins to just a single address, for now.

The free fauce for anyone might come back soon. I still wish to see it open to everyone to receive free coins. But it was far to easy to abuse. I didn't think the funds was well used in this regard.

But as you state, and I agree, gridcoinstats is not asking for any foundation funding for the faucet until I can open a free one again.
