WTF, it's drying up in real time.
I refresh every 15 seconds, and the amount is lower every time.

Is it actual users or a botnet?

AFAIK transactions are sent in groups. So next batch should include your coins.

When did it do that?

The first four transactions in my wallet, from the 16th, are a series of four 0.02 BTC payments from the faucet.  I think I saw other posts about multiple payments between then and now.

I saw the balance decreasing rather quickly, so as a test on May 29th I sent myself some from the faucet.  I got 3 transactions of 0.02 BTC, spaced 1-2 blocks apart, instead of one.  Once this gets fixed, I will send the 0.06 BTC back.

Original pioneers and participants do not represent the general population in any way.

I am willing to bet the forum has a large amount of the (hypothetical) 0.1% of the most honest people anywhere. They are overrepresented as the project is still quite small.

Selfishness, ignorance and hostility is the norm.

They should lower the amount it pays out, so more people can experience getting their first BTC!
