Open-source Wownero Faucet

Why?

More people would be attracted by Wownero if it had a non-profit, open-source and reliable faucet.

How much?

Wownero is around $0.14 at the moment. I estimate at least 10 hours of work for this

What?

A faucet with a main address for donations. Donations go to the faucet's balance, and every time one completes the faucet, he receives a part of the balance, clamped between a minimum and a maximum value.

Milestones?

• Coding the actual faucet: 1000 wow
• Take necessary steps to avoid repeated actions by bots: 337 wow

Outcomes?

Wownero will have its non-profit faucet, to give peeps small amounts of WOW so they can tip memes.

Why you?

I developed https://github.com/wownerox/wow-staking-system , as well as https://github.com/XfedeX/WowneroChat and the defunct WowBux 2.

What about bots and automated faucet submitting?

This is the biggest issue with a faucet. Protecting from bots can be hard, especially when privacy is paramount. I currently have some ideas:

• Requiring calculation of hashes before submitting faucet (pretty similar to cryptomining)
• Using hCaptcha for captchas
• Using self-hosted captcha (not as strong as hCaptcha)
• Using ReCaptcha (This is very bad for privacy)
• Requiring a Wownero account, using oAuth
• Requiring a Google account, using oAuth (This is very bad for privacy)

Feel free to suggest more or to criticize some of these ideas.
