I open a new Gridcoin faucet
As many of you have seen in my past posts I really care about faucets. I think it's important for a smaller coin like Gridcoin to help the new users get started.
As one of two faucets (http://faucet.gridcoin.asia/) closed the door I made the decision the create a faucet on my own.
I needed some time to get the coding done and now the faucet is ready to be released.
At the moment I only sent 50 GRC to the faucet, so I don't loose much when it does not work as expected. But I will fill it up when it is empty. I will also continue my steemit series for faucet donations. I hope this will keep the faucet filled with fresh coins. If anyone wants to donate to the faucet use this address: SF83agM4ERg1WaJvKNbJYrWRHVvUM3xkZz and the donations will go directly to the faucet.
At the moment the stats page is empty as I hadn't had the time to finish it. But the important thing is, that the faucet is working.

Thank you, just tested and it works fine!
I also posted about it on Steemit, with a link to your post

Thanks for the mention and your feedback :)
Really fast payout, great work!
Small thing: The payout message says ''comeback'' tomorrow, that should be ''come back''.
Thanks for pointing out the mistake. Will correct it. English is not my mother tongue...
No problem, glad I could help!
A word of warning to those interested in the faucet. This faucet requires users to perform a small amount of Proof of Work hashing using CoinHive (https://coinhive.com/) as a Captcha.
Why a warning? Others use ads and as I don't like tracking I though coinhive could be an alternative. As I student I can't afford paying the hosting and hundreds of gridcoins. Feel free to help me fill the faucet regularly and I will remove it immediately.
The mining needs about 1 minute and should help to pay for the service...
I think your criticism is not fair as I tried to help the community with a faucet which pays much more than the other faucet and has no tracking....
I am merely warning others to the nature of the Captcha. PoW is kind of against the ethos of a lot of BOINC crunchers, and I think they have a right to know why their CPU fan starts spinning like crazy when they visit the faucet...
Not when they visit. Only when they claim coins.
Good to know
Well done @grider123, I looked at the site but I will not test withdrawing coins because there will be others in need to gain a minimum amount for solo mining.
Thanks for the kind words.
Donations work, I've sent some coins earlier. :)
Nice work Gridcoin!
Thanks :)
Awesome work... grid is a amazing coin and great community
Thank you :) Indeed the Gridcoin community is just amazing :D
Thanks, man, every penny counts.
starting a faucet is a great way to help the coin. I'm going to get myself some of these gridcoins now!
