The #GiftGiver site (giftgiver.site) is currently not able to send 0.003 HIVE to its faucet users. Still, thanks to them for the total of 0.126 HIVE I have claimed from them (42 times).

Its delegation request page appears to be working though.

These 0.003 HIVE is stupidtly low, but for someone who's new to all crypto it might be a treasure.

Back when 1 BTC used to cost $250, I was given 100 Satoshi tips, it was sooo little but as someone new to internet money? I loved being tipped at all!

At the current price of $0.138 per 1 HIVE token, 0.003 HIVE is $0.000396 or 0.0396 US cents. It wil take about 2,500 #giftgiver faucet claims to reach $1.

I'm just doing it like a game.

2,500 faucet claims for $1 is at least 2,500 hours (assuming a person claims from the faucet every single hour), which is equivalent to 105 days or 15 weeks or 3.5 months.

Another trivia: @giftgiver's upvote to my post is already worth 37 claims from their faucet as my reward after 7 days.

#giftgiver is best for requesting a decent amount of delegation (20 HP for 7 days).

Hey, I'm the dev of giftgiver. The faucet wasn't really the main focus of giftgiver and added as an afterthought. The main focus is on the delegation side in order to help users who are low on RC. I'd love to make the faucet more sustainable in the future but since all of this is essentially just giving money away, unless I decide to ad up the site(which I have no intention of other than the one ad on the site) its quite hard to break even.

Also thank you for the donation(I assume its from one of your other accounts).

Thanks for the clarification. I thought of a bug!

I suggest using hCAPTCHA's publisher plan as the anti-bot mechanism for your faucet. They give HMT tokens every time a human correctly solves their CAPTCHA on your website, exchangeable for cash. Plus, it is also more reliable than reCAPTCHA for slow Internet connections.

I used to have hCaptcha's but they are insanely terrible on the user's end(I see it popping up on other sites and I absolutely hate doing them compared to recaptcha, correct clicks get marked as wrong so often) and I won't integrate them till its better. I might check out their difficulty a bit more in the future and see if I can find a better balance. They also haven't paid me from when I last used them so I don't know if I want to add that in again knowing a major part of the incentive doesn't work. The balance has been in "payout requested" for nearly a year now.

The notifications thanks to hivemind on peakd are awesome for this kind of things, I click it when I see the number go up and respond.

I frequently check on my notifications, but I usually don't reply to comments especially when I am using a smartphone.

Did make the switch to hcaptcha(used it on a pc setup on geforce experience or whatever the nvidia thing is called and it wasn't as bad as it used to be), will try it for a week to see how it goes and will decide to keep or switch back from there. Dashboard shows that I'm owed 30 of their tokens from the last time I had it, wonder when that'll get credited.

Thanks for your reply, especially about the tokens not yet paid out. I will take that into consideration when I use hCaptcha (again).

Should be fixed in the morning, got part of the code written up and need to finish it up. One of the third party api's that GG relies on shut down and so without that it won't function.
