Just add that in needs a captcha, maybe it was obvious.
Of course :)
This would be the only reason to have a "Freicoin Foundation" IMO to fund the fountain for only one or two years.
However, I would change some of the fundamentals of the fountain to make it unique to Freicoin.
It should be like a wishing well. The fountain will give you an address you have to send some minuscule amount of coins to, and send the fountain sends a larger amount back.
Their first coins should come by mining or begging or buying on the forum (or irc). This will make it more like an invitation game. The new people need to interact for the first coins, not just give it to them by the fountain.
Made a freicoin wallet.
Tested the faucet, it works. There's another one here: http://endlessfreico.in/
People downloading Freicoin for the first time should have some test coins to play around with. However after the public launch test coins will cost real money. In the early days Bitcoin had the “Bitcoin faucet” (operated by Gavin, now the primary core developer) which is a website where you could visit and get a few cents worth of free bitcoins, once per-day and per-IP address. We should have something similar.
