The seed node and faucet located at STEEM.GLOBAL is our networks only free STEEM faucet (as far as I know) and helps give people small amounts of STEEM to test out the platform.
Improving Scale-ability and Operating Costs
With the 200+ verified users the site was giving away 4.8 STEEM a day roughly or 144 STEEM a month not including paying my assistant on the site nor the monthly hosting.. it's grown into hands down my largest expense for STEEM based projects if operating costs are tallied up, with more costs likely to end up being realized as the site continues to grow.
Ads, Daily Logins and Continued Growth
In an attempt to slow down the hemorrhage of money the STEEM.GLOBAL site costs to operate: the hourly faucet is being converted to a daily faucet and the site will have to be visited while signed in to receive the free STEEM.
I'd really hoped to avoid ads but the cost of running the site was something over 300 STEEM a month.. It's gotta be done as that is a small fortune regardless of income levels!
New STEEM Faucet Claiming Method
Faucet verified accounts will now have a "Free STEEM" menu item sub-menu item under the account menu as noted in the picture above. Once a day verified users will be able to claim using the form seen below:
Instead of just being automatically fed free STEEM as before now verified users will have to solve a captcha once a day while signed in, this should help prevent botting as well as deter folks from attempting to scam making multiple accounts is my hope.
While not completely switched over to this new method or implemented ads where needed it seems the site is operational. When converting over to this new method I've tried to avoid service interruptions whenever possible. I'll update this post once I'm confident the new method and ads are properly integrated.. Until then stay schwifty and take it easy folks!

Just When I am about to contact you @kyle . this afternoon i am having a problem withdrawing the steem from the steem.global. you just need to wrte the username right and wait for it to withdraw? But the process is kept on loading, no steem is withdrawn.
And the idea of putting the ads is awesoem, I will come everyday to collet the feucet. Keep it up man
Let me see about what I can do. what is your acount name ther?
same like here, under ekavieka
thank you man
Seems to be working for me.. Try withdraw 1.000 STEEM to check for me?
hi @kyle it is kept on loading like this. .
can't do 1.000 as it is automaticaly change into 1, same though
Hmmm. Did it remove it from your account and not send? I have to fix that damn site. :/
it is not removed from the account, the steem is still there. 😂
Thanks for 0.001 Steem. Who knows, maybe one day Steem will be 1000x more valuable. In that case, you gave me the free coffee :)
At one point it was giving away 0.143 STEEM a day per user believe it or not...
Wow! I am still "red', but I got 0.001, that means I'm active? There is also eobot, it gives 0.004 per day in one click. I mean, it's nothing, but still, one click https://steemit.com/steemit/@alexs1320/how-to-earn-some-steem-every-day-for-free-one-click-only
I've yet to get the faucet security / filtering finished..!
Hey there @klye! Do you know about Coinhive?
They offer a captcha-like service where website users have to mine a little Monero (XMR) in order to proceed.
I only experienced it as a user, seems fine to me.
Eh... Not a fan of forcing people to mine with innefficient CPU code.. But the heads up on coinhive is interesting! Thanks man!
You are welcome. Keep up the good work!
hey friend @klye,,,, very informative information and
Super intelligent post, thank you for taking the time to create and share. love to read you post.but these kind of posts do make it easier, followed and upvoted.
I've neglected to do a proper "how to" on the site for a while now.. Once I finalize the new implementation and design stuff I may do a better post. :)
yes,i see,your great post.i wait for next post.best of luck friend @klye
Thanks for the update & operating the faucet!
You are most welcome man, It's been a learning experience for sure!
Mo money, Mo problems. Or in this case Steem. Gotta keep the plebs honest. Do what you gotta do my friend
LOL. Keep the plebs honest.. Love it. hahahahaa
Keep'er going man. Do the ads. 300 a month is nuts. I'll hit the site daily if that will help... almost at 1 STEEM
I don't want to close the service (as I have put so much time/money into it) but the way it was simply put was going to drown me financially if it increased 10x-100x userbase.
Hey @Klye
Just wanted to see if you had any plans on to continue with steem.global?
I've been inviting people to join but may be leading them astray.... Could you please provide us with an update.
Thank you.
good news friend,,,
thanks for sharing
new development ...thanks to inform us...
This looks cool
Lemme alert some newbies
And Klye continues to rock hard,...
reminds me faucet on eobot.
You want say, that now we have 0.001 daily after solving captcha instead of 0.001 hourly?
Hey can you verify my pic for STEEM.GLOBAL please

@kyle Just found your Steem.Global Faucet project and want to say that I really appreciate it! Can't wait to verify, and experience the first faucet deposit. I'll be re-posting and letting others know about this project! Way to go! Awesome!!
hello I added my picture yesterday and other info to be verified but have not been yet-advice?
Thanks for the STEEM faucet! I've accumulated 1 STEEM, but i'm unable to withdraw.
It spins like this forever...
My Steem.global account name is "ironsheld" (no "i")
@ironshield
Thanks for this piece of info. Very much needed.
Your post has been resteemed to my 2500 followers
Upvote this comment if you like this service
I am having a problem with site, whenever I try to registers it brings up a box where I need to add 2 number and request access or something and then it denies me?
so now I'll have to come back daily and solve a captcha for over a year to reach the minimum payout threshhold... hehe... I guess that isn't going to work
I really don't mean to complain (yet I do, oh the irony!), but I wanted to point out that that's a bit ridiculous.
Anyways, thanks for the free Steem. I had previously accumulated over 1.000 which I withdrew and running such a faucet has been incredibly generous of you @klye!
Is this up and running?

Spamming comments is frowned upon by the community.
Comment spam is currently defined by @steemcleaners as:
10 or more generic comments per day that are not in response to a question posed by the post or comment. “Thanks”, “Great Post!”, “Great Photo!”, “Good”, “Like”, “Nice”, “Wow”, “Cute”, “Follow me”, etc.
Commenting on old posts to hide self up-votes or a voting trail.
Copy/Paste comments that serve no purpose or the purpose is self promotion.
Comments that inform the contributor that they have been up upvoted, resteemed, or flagged when the curator does not actually upvote, resteem, or flag the post.
Unsolicited and off topic referral links.
Continued comment spamming may result in action from the cheetah bot.
More Info: Abuse Guide - 2017.
You honestly think that a 1 worder spam comment is worth 6 cents? Have a flag ya mongoloid!
Brother i am new on steemit gradually increase so dont flag me
Listen Tabish... you did the same thing on the open mic posts, you got flagged and warned and you keep on doing it. So its obvious that it's not because you are "new" you simply don't care and believe yourself to be smart enough to outwit the system...
you are essentially killing your account, if you don't believe me... go ahead, continue your behavior...
ok meno i am not understant what i do for income i have not a source of income
I don't want to waste my time explaining this over and over, but in the off chance that you actually care, and that you listen.
Here is a list of things you need to start doing right now.
Stop commenting senseless things like "nice" "good" or anything of the sort. If you know about the subject at hand, and care to add value to the post.... then do so, if you have no idea what the post is about, i would recommend to say nothing at all.
Don't upvote yourself, ever... this sends the wrong signal... even if you disagree with it, it does not matter... people perceive you commenting and upvoting yourself like you are selfish. Who like selfish people?
3)Do not post pictures you find on the internet and write... if you like upvote thanks... that is SPAM, meaning you are adding absolutely no value... they are not your pictures, you are attempting to get paid for the work of others... again perceived as selfish and dishonest.
I realize you leased from Minnowbooster and I get that you will take a loss on this lease probably at this point in time.
But take this as a lesson you had to learn. Please understand I'm not saying you are selfish, or evil... I am telling you, you are perceived as one because of the way you have chosen to act on Steemit.
Then self employ or go get a job... Spamming one words and self upvoting will get you flagged and chased off of here fast.
What the fuck is this shit dude?
Your "nice" comments aren't worth 6 cents, let alone you spamming them.
LOL this is really clever and yet rubbish at the same time.
he must know well till he could lease some steem. 😂
Then don't spam one worders and be greedy with your self upvote..
i lease power from minowsupport i have not a source of income so i use this method for raise my income i am not a greedy perc=son i'm help full person
That is unacceptable in my eyes the way you are spamming and self upvoting... This isn't acceptable dude, Work for real instead of being a scammer please.
please give me any help
