Title: Bitcoin Faucet's back Post by: irb on June 17, 2011, 09:37:47 PM For those looking to get started with a bitpenny, it looks like the Bitcoin Faucet (http://freebitcoins.appspot.com/) is back.... /i. Title: Re: Bitcoin Faucet's back Post by: iambean on June 17, 2011, 09:45:27 PM I get a server error message :-\
is the other site on this wiki safe? https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_faucet Title: Re: Bitcoin Faucet's back Post by: irb on June 17, 2011, 09:51:40 PM I tried the SMS one but it wants to talk to port 8333 directly and I'm not usually all that generous with the firewall. So, no. Not as yet. /i. Title: Re: Bitcoin Faucet's back Post by: Athenus on June 17, 2011, 09:56:53 PM Although I can understand they want to prevent abuse with the SMS verification, I'm not going to like my cell phone number to a Bitcoin wallet .. :/
Title: Re: Bitcoin Faucet's back Post by: irb on June 17, 2011, 10:02:57 PM I agree; though creating bitcoin addresses is the very definition of trivial. Create a unique one to give them, then block any further SMSes from them. Title: Re: Bitcoin Faucet's back Post by: theriveriswide on June 17, 2011, 10:06:46 PM What is the address for the SMS one?
Title: Re: Bitcoin Faucet's back Post by: irb on June 17, 2011, 10:07:40 PM You can try it at http://faucet.bitcoin.st/. I can't vouch for it and I have no affiliation with them. Title: Re: Bitcoin Faucet's back Post by: theriveriswide on June 17, 2011, 10:23:43 PM Oh, they want your phone number to send SMS spam. No thanks.
Title: Re: Bitcoin Faucet's back Post by: bacoboy on June 17, 2011, 11:22:44 PM I tried the faucet when I first installed the app, but I think it was just when it first starting having trouble.
When it came back, tried again. I can only assume they think I got my BTPennies already and just back for more. Oh well, no such things as a free lunch... |
