⚡ I just open‑sourced my Lightning faucet on GitHub

https://github.com/DrSteve2005/fountain-of-youth

I’ve been hacking on a LNURL faucet for a while, mostly to learn how all this Lightning stuff actually works under the hood. 
Today I finally pushed the whole thing to GitHub — code, jackpot logic, payout flow, Cloudflare setup, everything.
It’s my first proper repo. 
I basically learned GitHub, DNS, LNURL, deployment, and backend structure by messing up repeatedly until things worked. The faucet is live, stable, and now fully open source.


⚡ What it does

LNURL‑withdraw faucet
Dynamic payouts A small jackpot mechanic Anti‑drain protections Cloudflare in frontSimple deploy, simple code
Nothing fancy — just something fun that works.

🛠 Why I’m open‑sourcing it

Mostly because Lightning is built by people who ship things, even small things.
And because I learned everything by building this, so maybe someone else can learn from it too. Fork it, break it, improve it, whatever.


🙏 Thanks to everyone building cool stuff on Lightning.
Feedback, PRs, sats, roasting — all welcome.

[GIVEAWAY] The modern btc fountain just got slightly better.

Appreciate the source-level look. 

You’re right on the PoW UX.


Difficulty 18 / ~40M nonces is the current bot gate. 

I’ll add:
expected CPU/battery note before Start


live progress + Cancel
a documented bound so a failed solve isn’t a black hole


No-JS / low-power fallback is the harder one without opening the faucet to scripts. 

Looking at a server-stamped, short-lived challenge instead of unbounded client hashing.


Repo isn’t public yet (keeper wallet + anti-abuse live in the same tree). 

When the payout path is isolated I’ll open the client flow for review. 

Thanks for reading the bundle instead of just clicking Start.

My bad this is the correct url https://getfountainofyouth.net

Fountain of Youth v1.2 is live.



A Lightning faucet with streaks, jackpot scaling, and zero‑account drinking 


— now with a cleaner board system and stronger anti‑abuse rules.What’s new in 1.2:Board names 

— Drink under a custom name (3–16 chars). Masked addresses still work. Vulgar or hateful names are rejected.Fair‑use pour rules 

— One paid pour per Lightning address per UTC day, and one per connection. Shared Wi‑Fi can’t drain a stack of addresses. Travel with the same address and your streak continues normally.Jackpot scaling 

— The jackpot now pays the number shown under the fountain. It scales with the pot instead of defaulting to a leftover 2,100.Keeper controls 

— The spring can be closed for maintenance. Drinking and filling pause, and streaks freeze so a closed well never breaks your chain.Bugfixes — Streaks from closed days stay visible; pasting an address still shows streak, badge, and jackpot odds correctly.Security improvements

 — Keeper door slows after repeated wrong phrases; connected wallet secret is now stored under a key not present in the public source.

If you want to try a faucet that actually evolves instead of rotting, here’s the link:

Fountain of Youth

Im actually the real creator of the faucet ill soon drop it on github in the upcomming weeks
but i appreciate someone posting about it on here while i work hard on the actual project lol

My faucet have built in safeguards that make draining it tedious and not worth it for example a dynamic payout system and is also protected by cloudflare

[GIVEAWAY] Fountain of Youth — New Bitcoin Lightning Faucet

n00n

1. You just paste your lightning adress in the field and press pour and it immediately gives you a chance at the jackpot. The sats arrive immediately 

2.there is no lottery. You have 2% chance of hitting the jackpot every day when you click pour and reiceve your free sats 

3.That is so that the community can refill the fountain at anytime when the keeper is not available. Plus the more donations the bigger payouts and bigger jackpots but the chance stay the same. There is zero requirement to pay anything

Everyone have heard about the famous btc faucet from 2012 well its back but more modern thanks to lightning integration. Its still really early but i would love everyone's feedback both good and bad. In the future I hope it could be self sustainable. I dont care about profits. I just wanted a faucet that didnt steal my email or needed passwords, and a clean ui without ads. Apparently that didnt exist so I made my own. I will be posting the source code on github aswell soon enough

Just enter your lightning adress and immediately receive btc. Zero ads Zero Tracking Zero Bullshit

Update:V1.1 is now live. 
-payouts scale with the pot, bigger pot bigger payouts
-A donation button to people who want the fountain to remain flowing, grants no boosted jackpot odds and no more daily pours than usual 1. 
-added a terms of service,FAQ and policy tab at the bottom .

I'm going to be honest. My project is very new and may look sketchy but I have a big vision to make BTC available to more people
