RE: GridcoinStats Faucet; Backed with rewards from a stable community
I'm seeing a lot of ideas being thrown around lately about a faucet being funded by a foundation expense. I think this is a pretty terrible idea, no matter who is pitching it... there seems to be a lot of "accounts" supporting this idea, but not much actual community support. I want to bring this problem to light, as it seems to be a thing now... someone suggests an unpopular idea, so they make several accounts supporting their opinions.
Thank you for providing a new faucet. HARD no on funding it with the foundation. This idea was brought up by barton26 previously, and it's still a bad idea. :D
He also suggested funding the IRPG with foundation funds. I think anybody that wants a piece of the foundation in recent history needs to be put on a short list for scrutiny. I'm not sure what the end game is, but it's clear there is an attempt to suck money directly from the foundation.
I'm the creator and I created the faucet based on a few requests, but I've had the idea in mind for longer than that. As I did make it I also created the possibility for a sponsored section, pitched to me by @vortac.
I do know there will be no funds before the community sais so, and that is all okay for me. I'm providing a service if the community wishes to use it. It would be an easy way to provide new users a bounty for starting up.
I have not created any fake accounts to pitch this idea, but still think it is a good way to distribute rewards. I can't tell for anyone else tough, and that's why I think a voting is a good idea before we decide anything. This is the reason I recommended this for the next mumble session.
The faucet will continue as it is with the standard rewards however the community decides tough.
