For those looking to get started with a bitpenny, it looks like the Bitcoin Faucet ( http://freebitcoins.appspot.com/) is back.... /i. |

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.

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 .. :/

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.

You can try it at http://faucet.bitcoin.st/. I can't vouch for it and I have no affiliation with them. |

Oh, they want your phone number to send SMS spam. No thanks.

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...
