What happened with Dogecoin faucets?

[Abiky]

I remember the day when Dogecoin faucets like FreeDoge.co.in and MoonDogeco.in offered free coins for anyone starting into crypto. Before the Dogecoin craze, I've used to claim free coins every once in a while. But it seems those days are over as the aforementioned faucets have closed up shop. I've been looking for other DOGE faucets, but they're all dead.

Do you know what could've happened? Is the era of faucets over? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I dont have any clue, but maybe the rise on the price make their calculation of bussiness become not rational anymore.
As i know faucet web earning was from Ads, so when their earning is stagnant and the cost is increase too high, they decide to close their bussiness at the moment.

[chocula]

There was no money to be made so people stopped doing them. I did find a couple faucets recently. I have no affiliation with them.

why a lot of dogecoin faucets stopped?
simple reason because as you can see doge price now growing really hard my friend, and thats could be the main reason

[Iyeman]

Those faucets were operated based on the donation and owner's fund. The price of dogecoin has been making people didn't wanna again spend their money to add funds to the faucet to be distributed to the its users.
That makes all of the faucets are dead instantly and some have been noticing its users withdraw its fund from the faucet sites.

[FinneysTrueVision]

Now that Doge has skyrocketed in value it is not as useful for microtransactions. Faucets used to give you like 0.5 Doge but now this is worth a few cents. If they reduce the giveaway amount then it becomes impossible for users to reach withdrawal minimum.

[steampunkz]

Some are still active now others have been but the majority of the sites are closing right now because of the sudden pump from Tesla owner Ellon Musk. If only the freedoge.in didn't close I'm sure it will be the most popular faucet now

[asriloni]

The funds to run faucet will be empty instantly as doge is more valuable than before and that will force people to give all of their efford to earn doge as much as they can from the fauced.
The faucet can be running when the reward came from the mining because it has unlimited supply but the problem is there's no money to maintain the variable cost for the mining rig.
These days doge coin worth as money and when you are having 100k and it worth a lot of money.

That's why almost all of doge faucet sites were choosing to shutdown their service forever. It's not worth to run it anymore.

The transaction fee on Dogecoin network is very high with the pump of Dogecoin price. Blockchair.com has a chart for median transaction fee (USD)
https://blockchair.com/dogecoin/charts/median-transaction-fee-usd

Things will be clear that the era of Dogecoin faucet is over or it will be opened again when transaction fee is cheap again. I wish it would have not been over as bitcoin faucet.

[jacafbiz]

Faucet back in the days is use for promotion of these tokens, we are the Bitcoin, Dash, Ethereum, Litecoin Faucet. I remember then there was a faucet that use to pay 1000sat per hour, I believe the owner must be regretting it now. Those days of receiving free coins are gone, if you receive one from airdrop good luck but move on from faucet and look for better ways to earn crypto

It is clearly evident that the rally in price killed all these doge faucets as it is not a profitable venture to give out free doge without any substantial revenue stream. Faucets was killed by google when they imposed the ban of advertisement in these faucets and these doge faucets continue to exist because the price was nominal but not anymore.

[Ceyflix-Rez]

All moon faucets are the best I've used so far since 2017, the faucets platforms works very well and they paid once you reach the minimum withdrawal threshold, it's a shame they aren't in work anymore, I still don't know what went wrong

Faucet these days is kinda old school now, but I believe there are still alive and will come (but probably only on new cryptos). Some faucet services may find it is now already not profitable anymore because some of the faucets before are getting money on some advertisement on their site and exchange it with crypto just like Dogecoin.

[bassbity]

Do you know what could've happened? Is the era of faucets over? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It's true, we often try to find fauncet in this year it will be very difficult to find. and I guarantee that this era is gone, the impact of cryptocurrency growth is no longer as rare as it used to be, where we are given a free fauncet without having to deposit. Ah, now is the time to come to exchanges if you want to own the desired crypto.
remember when freeBitcoin once slots you got 0.1 Satoshi, haha it's been a long time

[max6575]

yes i used to work on customs with the mining on doge coin as creating bot to helps with chance as collecting doge token on returns with the playing on dice game. if anyone with interest to work with bot then might pm me to request one for exchange of a small spares of doge coin for the trade.

[blue Snow]

Is the era of faucets over? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No, era of faucets still active, but there is not at all, you will see my signature still paying the user to claim every hour. maybe doge faucet doesn't use like freebitco.in strategy, they pay full doge while freebitco.in pay in rate for user.

[Iyeman]

Some are still active now others have been but the majority of the sites are closing right now because of the sudden pump from Tesla owner Ellon Musk. If only the freedoge.in didn't close I'm sure it will be the most popular faucet now

Can you mention those sites? As far as I know if all of doge faucets already dead and if there are some still active right now can be considered as a suspicious site consider the skyrocketing for the price of dogecoin.
There are lots of scam site these days dude. I thought that if that site could be a scam site that.
i have been searching the legit doge faucet sites but I can't find even a legit site atm.

[MishaSER]

I think the main reason is profitability, for example, take the most famous faucets freedoge, they closed due to lack of time and profit, so they sent all their efforts to freebitco.

[Abiky]

The recent increase in DOGE's price could've made faucets' business operations unsustainable. I believe that operators could've decided to give out less Dogecoin for free in order to keep up with site costs. Unlike Bitcoin, it's easy to send micropayments on the Dogecoin blockchain. Faucets could've simply rewarded people with fractions of a Dogecoin in order to help attract newcomers into crypto. Yet, most faucet owners have closed up shop. If this continues, we may be left with no Dogecoin faucets in the future.

Nonetheless, I think there's still hope for Dogecoin faucets. If prices go back to the way they were, we may see a comeback. Even if prices remain the same as they are right now, it's still possible to give away Dogecoin for free. As I've said before, faucets can reward people with fractions of a Dogecoin in order to help sustain their operations. While you won't be able to make a decent income out of faucets, they serve as a great way to learn about how crypto works. By all means, faucets are a great introductory point to the world of crypto. Without them, mainstream adoption for Dogecoin among newcomers into crypto will decrease. Just my thoughts

I also made free claims on Freedoge and Moondoge but to my knowledge about the Doge faucet it was closed long before the price of Dogecoin went up high in the past. so the closure of moondoge and freedoge was not caused by the current high price of Dogecoin, but had its own causes. and until now I still claim free doge on some free web minning.

Just imagine, owner of Doge faucet which payoff 2millions of Doge to his visitors, he earned something from advertisements or referrals, but he spends $140k (if we count $0.07 price) So, for sure he is not earned not even close to that much money from websites profit. It's very hard to calculate faucet profitability, especially with high price violation.
I remember Doge faucet which offers 2-3k Doge per claim, every hour. But this is long past time when this coin has been really worthless.

Those were good times. Claiming DOGE from faucets wasn't profitable at the time, but certainly a lot of fun. If you claimed 2k-3k DOGE per hour, you would've earned $120 - $180 per hour at today's prices. That's a whole lot of money for doing absolutely nothing. Who knew Dogecoin would go from being a worthless coin, to a "serious" investment in the mainstream world? Faucets were a great way to attract newcomers into crypto. Now that there are no faucets, people are forced to buy DOGE to "test drive" the Dogecoin blockchain. If only faucets made a comeback by paying fractions of a Dogecoin to its users, mainstream adoption for Dogecoin would've soared like crazy.

Nonetheless, all good things come to an end. Dogecoin faucets were good while it lasted. Now, we should look for other cryptocurrencies that are "under the radar" of investors and traders alike. I'm sure there are faucets available for other coins on the market. We should enjoy them while they last. Just my opinion

[NextDoor125]

There could be some issues, such as business increment. If I explain, the team of the DOGE coin was conducted this on that concept that is business addiction purpose. So, in that case they were trying to collect the attention of the investors and they had attempted some potential task for consumers. But I can say DOGE is the profitable coin in CMC and it has a good potentiality of all.

[Tipstar]

Faucet are a difficult balance between profit or loss. Lesser ads brings lesser rewards, higher brings higher but decreases the interest of people. Adblocker just removes all of your ad revenue and restricting them and other ads and captcha bypassers is a never ending battle. There are some faucets that provide small amounts. But with increase in knowledge about crypto and easier ways of buying them, people are generally less attracted towards low paying faucets.

I only have one Doge Faucet and that is PipeFlare they are giving three coins to those who want to claim, there are only a few faucets now, most of these are on Bitcoin but because of the very high fees they stopped offering Bitcoin, Dogecoin is a good coin to use for faucets because of it's fee but there are only few faucet now and some of them do not offer a good amount of Doge.

The remaining Dogecoin faucets will pay you a very low amount of Doge, as they're basing themselves on current market prices relative to Fiat (USD). It's not worth spending time at faucets to earn minuscule amounts of DOGE if you're looking into making lots of profit within the short term. If you don't care about DOGE's current price relative to Fiat, then it wouldn't hurt claiming at faucets to reap the rewards if prices go any higher in the future.

Luckily, I've found two faucets that are still giving away Dogecoin for free. They are Doge-Faucet and Bagi.co.in. We need more faucets if we want more people to join Dogecoin. They as a great entry point to the world of crypto/Blockchain tech. Giving away free coins will encourage anyone to learn more about how crypto works and how they can use it for their own benefit. Faucets will be able to sustain their operations as long as network transaction fees are low. Once fees rise all the way to the moon, then it'll no longer be viable to operate a faucet. I think that's what happened with Bitcoin faucets. They disappeared because of the ever-rising fees on the Blockchain. This could happen with Dogecoin too if it becomes clogged with transactions. Hope that doesn't turn out to be the case, so that we can continue to enjoy faucets for a long time. Just my thoughts

[ashmodeus]

so far i know both of freedoge.co.in and freebitco.in its a same company , and probably freedoge.co.in its no longer give a good profit and they just shut it down and focused only to freebitco.in, and btw last time i got payment about freedoge.co.in its about 6 june 2015  .
about faucet it self , well i do not really sure why they just closed their business, has ads didn't give good pay anymore ?

Probably the increase of the token value while the transaction fee in $DOGE didn't change is the main reason why they shut down the faucet. The increasing value of transaction is the main reason why faucet industry are not profitable anymore because it didn't adjust accordingly on the token value itself.

Yep, That's quite likely what's the reason but I also think it's because of not being able to "Pay to many".
Just like with bitcoin we're able to "Pay to many" In the wallet.
It's now around 0.05$/Doge which is also the transaction fee for a single transaction which is quite huge for the faucet industry to send Doges to a single user.

[iTradeChips]

Imagine if the existing faucets now gives you 0.00010000 DOGE then that would only show that they are no longer giving good amounts and that their business is failing. I would shy away from those faucets if they will give me such an amount of DOGE. How many days you have to wait for you to be able to accumulate up to one DOGE? That would take a long time and that is a waste of time, electricity and computing power. I'll just buy DOGE at an exchange.

[mekar sari]

Of course the Dogecoin faucets either disappeared or stopped due to Doge's crazy prices able to pump very high and able to increase up to many times
if it's still the road, it will certainly make a loss better find a faucet with another coin which has the potential rise high like a doge certainly in the future it will provide a lot of profit

Well, it was never about making profits out of faucets. They only exist as an entry point to the world of crypto. Newcomers into crypto can learn how everything works by claiming free coins through a faucet of their choice. Without faucets, people will be forced to spend money in order to "test drive" their newly-found cryptocurrency. Most DOGE faucets disappeared because prices per coin went all the way to the moon. Faucet owners/operators will be unable to sustain their operations by paying a large amount of coins to the end user. It's best to give away fractions of a Dogecoin, in order to keep up with site maintenance costs.

At least, there are faucets available for other coins in the crypto/Blockchain space. This gives the newcomer into crypto some hope. If you still want free Dogecoin, then simply buy some with the income made from other coins' faucets. You can also receive DOGE as a tip, by participating in Reddit. I'd expect a comeback of DOGE faucets once prices per coin go all the way down the drain. When that time comes, Dogecoin will become great again. Just my opinion

[ice18]

Most Doge faucet sites I know last 2016-2017 are slowly disappeared last bear market like 2018 if Im not mistaken maybe because of lack of interest from visitors since the value of Doge in that year is only like $0.003 those websites collects profit from ads revenue and it needs a lot of traffic to earn good amount from it and since no huge no. of visitors are coming then theres no profit then.

My first faucet was freedogecoin with a few rolls once an hour but indeed if we collect from here there is no faster profit except having to wait a long time, and it lasts several years until the end I never use again.
But now when the price is higher all the faucets disappear maybe because of the high cost or because of other reasons I don't know but I think if now there are still real faucets maybe it won't be pulling out any time soon.

DOGE's insane price pumps was driven by Elon's manipulation and we all know that there was nothing more than that  The last known full node client version (before 1.14.3) was released an year back and there were no updates for the same nor any github PRs favoring them for 1 year. Dogecoin Core 1.14 had some not really bad improvements to full node but pumping with just some manipulative words is possible only in crypto market.

Check Dogecoin Core 1.14.3 release over here : https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/releases/tag/v1.14.3


I used to get paid 2-3 DOGE per hour in 2018 through freedogeco.in and it was really cool to make some free doges by solving captchas. Currently with insane prices of both bitcoin and a worthless dogecoin, calculating our faucet payments in bitcoins wouldn't be worth it but probably through satoshis might be helpful.

BTW As others say, Freedogeco wasn't closed because of the price rise or lower profits but was due to malicious actors trying to ruin the fun of faucets to other new users by hacking them and stealing more doge! You can read the news over here : Free Cryptocurrency Giveaway Site Shuts Due To Hackers Freedoge was really a great site with no ads but the greediness made to shut the business down

You would really be expecting those kind of closures because making out faucets on something becomes valuable is absurd and they would rather save up those doge's rather than giving it free
to the public because they would make more money if they do just simply save up those doge coins rather than on giving it with the exchange of site traffic which would really be giving
out less revenue to theirs.So as an owner then it is no doubt that you would definitely do the same, i havent encountered nor see any doge faucets at the moment
and if there are still some existing then they might be giving out very small amount as always but not just like before those before hype days.

[Wahyuihib]

I also frequently claim garatist coins through Dogecoin faucets. indeed there is still a small part of the faucet, but the prize we have to claim is very small. and I feel bored to do it too.

[Farma]

the current price of doge is getting higher. I think they're starting to think about keeping the doge to themselves. I kept this in mind too and started looking for doge faucets that paid quite a bit, but it looks like it's gone. however, Dogecoin is sometimes used to lure people to the faucet site. at this time, they were definitely holding back.

[WalkerIVIV]

Maybe here too many are working on the faucet. but if I see there are still many people who are interested in working on the faucet until now

It's caused by faucet is the most easiest task that can be done by anyone. Remember that you have no another way to earn free doge coin other than doing faucet. The only way to mine it and that will need a very good mining rig to mine doge with profit. The pump that happened on doge has been making the difficulty is increasing even higher. The small miners receive nothing

Back when Dogecoin was out of the spotlight, we had many great faucets giving away free coins like crazy. Freedoge.co.in, and MoonDogeco.in were the best faucets with high DOGE rewards. I remember when I've used to claim free DOGE every once in a while from these faucets. After the Elon Musk craze, prices per coin surged to new ATHs. The coins I've earned from faucets became worth hundreds of dollars (USD) in an instant. It was certainly a profitable journey for me and those who invested early into the good-old "meme" cryptocurrency.

Unfortunately, the days of DOGE faucets are over because of increased demand in the mainstream world. With prices upwards of $0.05 per coin, faucets will be unable to give away free money without maintaining revenue to keep up with operational costs. It seems to me that DOGE faucets won't make a comeback as long as prices are well above $0.01 per coin. Things could change if DOGE goes all the way down the drain.

At least, there are other faucets available for many different altcoins on the market. I've now switched to the "Horizen Faucet" which gives you away free ZEN every day. You get a higher bonus if you verify your social media accounts and refer other people to the service. The income you'll get in terms of Fiat is not much, but it's better something than nothing. Who knows if your faucet earnings become worth a fortune once the coin goes all the way to the moon?

[Rexler]

I have absolutely no idea what happened to those dogecoin faucets, but I can remember also getting from free coins from faucets back then, maybe since those free coins are worth alot of money now those faucets have been all shut down, nowadays the faucets are offering very little amount of coins for more task, it's useless working in any faucet now cause you won't earn much from them unlike you uses to back then.

I guess they finally got tired of sharing free coins to crypto noobs, all those old faucets have been shut down, can't remember seeing any legit faucet these days that actually pays, and they are few crypto faucets still left  that actually pays, I think the Era of getting free cryptocurrencies from faucets have come to an end, the only freebies stuff still working is airdrop and 99% of them are scams while the remaining 1% pay very low.

The faucets era is not over because I see some website still running faucet and giving free coins to people out there. But unfortunately, the reward is very small than before as many coins now increase and it seems not many people now use the faucet to earn the free coins. But the faucet can be a way for new people to receive their free coins, so they can know that getting involved in the crypto and earning the coin does not need to buy it. But using a faucet is not recommended as the reward is too small, and some people think it is not worth doing.

Strangely I am hearing about ZEN coin for the first time but it seems like they are listed in larger exchanges like Huobi and Binance. Nowadays it's better to invest some minor amounts per week or month in bitcoin or other top cryptocurrencies like ETH, XMR, ADA, DOT and wait for 3 years after halving to make gains rather than wasting our time in faucets. Even merged mining coins like LTC (+DOGE) have been profitable to mine and GPU mining of XMR could be profitable due to the price hikes too. On top of this, we can learn mining cryptocurrencies which many of them aren't aware and could be helpful in the long run too. Today our market has changed, there are far less people from 2017 pump (like me) and even far less people from 2013-2014 pumps (just like you) who have stayed this long in the market as people who are entering are trying to make quick profits and leave the market. Every bull run market is dominated by greedy developers, shitcoin traders and faucet abusers and this is nothing different. But very few realize the importance of cryptocurrency and even use them.

An interesting thing to point out here is : Faucets were introduced by gavin to bring more people into bitcoin and make them stay longer but today, those faucets has changed from being a entry point for newbies to greedy people abusing them. With current crypto trend, I think even testnet btc will become valuable and would be used to scam newbies

Not only you, I sometimes still play the faucet when I'm free,
If my assumption is why so many Dogecoin faucets are closed, the simple reason is that the Dogecoin price go to the moon,
Many faucet developers about Dogecoin are closed because they hold tens of millions of Dogecoins, but some are forced to close because of bankruptcy, because Dogecoin is expensive they are forced to close faucets and may be looking for ideas to open other faucets with different coins.

we all used a faucet but most of us use a faucet when we are bored due to how unprofitable it was but i dont get why dogecoinfaucet were closing because if we look at btc value it also trippled and yet there are still many btc faucet are alive but what they do is they reduced the reward per claim. didnt the doge faucet owners think of that ? its impossible for them to get bankrupt because they can always monetize the faucet site and even before the claims for faucets were already adjusted according the value of cryptos .

Dogecoin price is now much higher than it was before. Thats why faucets are not profitable anymore

at this point what you say is true, but hopefully the doge will not return to its roots. because it looks like the feared thing could happen, it doesn't seem at all for the doge to move to increase, which continues to fall, even though it's still fairly stable now. But if there is no intervention from the management doge, the things that I fear could happen and we obviously don't want them, because something good has happened, don't let it return to its origin.

Strangely I am hearing about ZEN coin for the first time but it seems like they are listed in larger exchanges like Huobi and Binance. Nowadays it's better to invest some minor amounts per week or month in bitcoin or other top cryptocurrencies like ETH, XMR, ADA, DOT and wait for 3 years after halving to make gains rather than wasting our time in faucets. Even merged mining coins like LTC (+DOGE) have been profitable to mine and GPU mining of XMR could be profitable due to the price hikes too. On top of this, we can learn mining cryptocurrencies which many of them aren't aware and could be helpful in the long run too. Today our market has changed, there are far less people from 2017 pump (like me) and even far less people from 2013-2014 pumps (just like you) who have stayed this long in the market as people who are entering are trying to make quick profits and leave the market. Every bull run market is dominated by greedy developers, shitcoin traders and faucet abusers and this is nothing different. But very few realize the importance of cryptocurrency and even use them.

Exactly. Faucets were never meant to make anyone rich. They only serve as an entry point for newbies to get into the world of crypto. As you've said before, it's best to invest in top cryptocurrencies directly for greater returns. After every Bitcoin halving, comes a bull market run. If we follow the market's behavior closely, we could say that 2025 will be the next year when crypto prices will explode. Who knows how much money you'll make as crypto becomes more popular in the mainstream world?

As far as faucets are concerned, I think owners should set some "limits" in order to prevent abuse. I've seen many faucets drained so fast, because of greedy people looking to make a quick buck out of them. A better solution would be to limit faucet claims to once per email address, IP address, or the underlying cryptocurrency's public address. It'll be something similar to what the Bitcoin.com faucet does today. I'm sure that if we had DOGE faucets, adoption for the cryptocurrency would've soared towards new heights. At least, other coins have faucets with the goal of attracting newcomers into the crypto/Blockchain space. Who knows what the future holds for faucets as crypto prices continue to soar on the market? Just my opinion

used to work with the helps of bot to collect returns from the faucet as playing with the hilo games in the past time, that many pupils like to have doge coin with their wallet as they might work on evaluation as the rise and drop of price before they have with decision to work on trading to hold of dogecoin.

Many faucets are closed after the price of Dogecoin has risen very high, I know this because I tried to open my old account, and most of them were closed like Faucethub and Moondogecoin,
but in my opinion, many faucets are closed not because the price of doge has increased, but because many people prefer other ways than faucets, such as farming or staking, now only with a low capital of less than $10 can get free coins without completing a captcha like on a faucet.

or maybe because there's no ads platform that supports these faucet anymore that's still profitable, I remember back in the day most of faucets uses some 2nd tier advertising platform to get ads to their website but now it seems those ads platform doesn't exist anymore. the faucet business model just not profitable anymore.

I suppose that it would be foolish to expect further continuation of the distribution of such a high reward for using faucets, given such a rapid growth in the Dogecoin rate. For a little more than a month, the Digissues faucet was giving 1 Doge every 20 minutes and immediately after Elon Musk's tweet, production dropped 100 times. At least I am beginning to doubt very much that debt will continue on its way up.

I've had plenty of DOGE on Moondogecoin, but lost access to the coins because the faucet ceased operations. The good-old days of getting paid large amounts of Dogecoin for doing nothing are over. We can blame the recent price hikes for that matter. While faucets were never meant to make you some decent profit, they were certainly a good entry point for newbies to get into the world of crypto. DOGE was one of the best coins for this purpose, due to being an extremely inexpensive cryptocurrency. As it's said in the real world, "nothing lasts forever".

Nonetheless, I believe that a bear market could bring DOGE faucets back in the game. That's because the price per DOGE will go down the drain. If Dogecoin remains below $0.01 as it did before, faucets will be able to give away free coins while keeping up with site maintenance costs. The world of crypto behaves in many strange and bizarre ways, so anything could happen in the future. We should find other ways to earn Dogecoin to stock them up for the future. Just my opinion

So it is, advertising simply does not pay for itself for the owners of the site itself and a lot of people just closed their projects,since the two parties are simply not interested in earning a penny.

I suggest you looking at Micro Earnings section for doge faucets and faucets lists. I believe it's not the end of dogecoin faucets, but like any other site of this kind the rewards will follow the dollar cotation. Some will probably say the rewards don't worth anymore, but in fact I remember hearing the same argument years ago and look how much profit could have been made if people claimed more often from faucets on those days... We don't know how far crypto currency will reach yet, but there are serious chances it will rise a lot more. So every satoshi, or dogetoshi in this case, is worthful.

[worldofcoins]

Agreeable with what you said it's much easier to buy DOGE at an exchange rather than accepting that amount which is extremely low.
Also, you can make much more trading if you have a good experience of it rather than wasting time on faucets.
Time is money! and it's better spent wisely.

I remember one of the biggest faucets being Moon Dogecoin. After the price went up they decided to shut down and stopped paying users their pending withdrawals after a few weeks.

Even though the fees are not so expensive it would take an extremely long time to reach the withdrawal minimum if it has remained unchanged on any of the faucets that I remember claiming from in the past.

[OgNasty]

I remember the day when Dogecoin faucets like FreeDoge.co.in and MoonDogeco.in offered free coins for anyone starting into crypto. Before the Dogecoin craze, I've used to claim free coins every once in a while. But it seems those days are over as the aforementioned faucets have closed up shop. I've been looking for other DOGE faucets, but they're all dead.

Do you know what could've happened? Is the era of faucets over? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The same thing that happened to Bitcoin faucets friend.  I still remember thinking it was cool that Gavin Andresen was giving away BTC to anyone just to spread adoption.  Without him creating that Bitcoin faucet, who knows how much longer it would have taken for Bitcoin to be discovered by mainstream audiences.  As with all good things though, it had to come to an end.  People create bots to take advantage of others' kindness or find other ways to steal funds when it becomes profitable enough to do so.  This is why we can't have nice things.  If there's free food being given out, it's only a matter of time before the eating disorders show up.

Sadly, people don't seem to value things when they're given away for free. They only abuse the system in order to make as much profits as possible. It's always been about the money. The higher the price of a cryptocurrency, the lower the chance of claiming through faucets will be. Transaction capacity is also a determining factor for a faucet's success. If the blockchain is clogged, fees will soar, making micropayments largely unfeasible. There are still a few DOGE faucets around, but the number of coins you get isn't the same as before. At least, something is better than nothing. Who knows if the coins earned today will be worth a fortune in the future?
