Referrals Multiplier
To get the referral multiplier reward, you will need to make enough eligible referrals. An eligible referral is someone who has signed up to PipeFlare.io using your unique referral link and made a claim at least one time.
You will receive a multiplier based on how many referrals you’ve made. The current tiers are in the image below. For example, if you refer 5 people, you will have a 1.25x multiple on all Faucet rewards.
Star counter
On the upper part of the screen, you will have a star counter that will start filling as soon as you start claiming. Each consecutive daily claim will accumulate a star (between 20-30 hours apart from your last claim). Once the star count reaches 5 stars, you can claim the Bonus Round. In the following explanation, we will explain how the star counter works in detail.
Star Counter rules:
- For each consecutive day of claiming ZEC in our Faucet, you accumulate a star and your claimed reward is multiplied by a defined value depending on your star level:
- Day 2: 1.05X Reward
- Day 3: 1.1X Reward
- Day 4: 1.15X Reward
- Day 5: 1.2X Reward + Bonus Round
- Day 6: 1.25X Reward
- Bonus round will remain active after the fifth consecutive day, it is important to consider that Bonus Rounds are not accruable, this means that in order to claim it successfully you will need to play it before accumulating again the five stars.
- After the claiming of Day 6, the star counter will reset to zero. Missing a consecutive day would also reset the star counter to zero
Bonus Round
A bonus round could be only activated by two events:
- Claiming consecutively for five days.
- Let’s discuss each case:
Claiming consecutively for five days
A consecutive claim will accumulate a star in your star level, once you have the 5 stars on the star counter, you will be able to play the bonus round when desired. Bonus Rounds are not accruable, this means that in order to claim it successfully you will need to play it before accumulating the five stars.
A bonus round can reward you up to $5 USD

Rewards
The bonus tab is used to link your social media accounts into the Faucet. Currently, you can link your Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Linkedin accounts. In the future, we plan to add more options. The amount of accounts linked will determine the multiplier you will end up having every time you claim on the Faucet. This means that the more you authenticate, the higher the multiplier and higher your rewards will be!

What do I do if I wasn’t paid? Did you use an exchange account?
- If you used an exchange account:
- The exchange may have a minimum deposit limit, this limit would usually be higher than the small amount claimed on the Faucet, therefore small balances not surpassing the lower limit would not be showing on your exchange address.
- If your exchange account has a minimum block confirmation number, the transaction will show up until the required amount of blocks, specified by the exchange, is confirmed, this confirmation could take hours. Depending on the amount of blocks to be confirmed. A block is mined on average, every 1 minutes (this time could vary per block, since this is an average time).
