I think Gavin Andreson created the first faucet and it paid up to 5 BTC in the beginning. I think I have Alzheimer light also, because I read it not too long ago, and I also cannot remember. Woah, that must have been very cool to receive 5 BTC per claim.

Make you wish you could turn back time. What was the time delay between faucet claims?

Back than receiving 5 BTC didn't feel much different than receiving 1000 satoshi right now. The only advantage was that you could actually do some testing as the transaction fees were much smaller compared to the value of the payout back than.

If you had claimed those 5 BTC back than the chance of still having them today are so minute, it still wouldn't have mattered.

1 faucet claim from 2010 > 500,000 claims from today, lol.

Eh, not even close to 500,000 I think.

I wasn't aware of bitcoins back in 2010 but in early 2012. There are still quite a few faucets which gives 1-2 bitcoins a day depending on your luck (not pretty sure though, that was like 4 years ago.)w The faucets I participated on only give a few satoshis, and that was early 2014 when I became fully interested on bitcoins.

This is the power of time, changing everything! Just like less than 100 years ago the word "computer" might not even exist yet!

Why would you say the chance of still having those bitcoins would be minute? There are a lot of people still using faucets in the hope that the value increase, who are hoarding the coins they get now. I did experiment with faucets back in the day, and I created separate Bitcoin addresses for every faucet, to see what I accumulate from the different faucets and also to prevent dust.

Those addresses are still untouched after almost 3 years. In today's value, it is still dust. ^smile^

I wish I could invent a time machine and travel back to 2011 and play that faucet 24/7 haha It would have changed my life for sure.

[pooya87]

What the hell 5BTC/claim  I hope i can back into 2010 and play that faucet.
If today rate 5btc=+-1200$ that very big money, very lucky people who know about bitcoi  in 2010.

lol. if you could go back in time you would use a faucet to get bitcoin?
if i could go back i would sell my everything and buy bitcoin instead of wasting any second

Wasn't Gavin Andreson the first guy to do bitcoin faucets? I think he gave away astronomical amounts like 50 BTC per claim, too
