I guess this in very surprising but it is sad seeing older faucets I used to visit not as useful as the once were.  If it is offline or will be soon it would be nice to see a bunny run 2.0.

Yep, the idea of using altcoins instead of sending smaller amounts is great. That way, the fees will be much lower, and the amount given away can be much higher.

Well you can still pile up the btc and send to 100 people at once with 0 fee on btc.

Faucets should switch to a cheaper coin so they can send larger amounts.  Move the decimal a few places to the left and pay it out in LTC instead.

There are ltc faucets and other faucets as well!
Yep, I've been using Litecoiner for a while and have 0.0067 LTC built up on that so far.  Also just started using LTC4YOU, which I think is pretty new.  Got 0.0007 LTC built up after 2 or 3 days.

That isnt much, but then again its free. The best things to do is go for a really new alt coin and rack up as much as you can. Then hope that the price will go up like crazy! Cheesy

I've always enjoyed bunnyrun simply because it is fun, and you get a small prize a few hours later. Historically, it has paid reliably, but it does appear it is no longer paying, and the owner should probably post this on the site so people know.  Undecided

Faucets have more or less been killed off since they essentially send what is called dust (very small bitcoin amounts measured in Satoshis).  This clogs up the network so it is filtered out by most nodes.  As it currently stands the amount paid by Bunny run would be less than the fee to send it (kind of like mailing somebody a 12 cent check with a 50 cents of postage).

More like "I'll mail you a free penny if you send me a self-address stamped envelope".

A faucet originally gave out free bitcoins for testing and introduction when Bitcoin was new, bitcoins had no established value and some were willing to share easily-mined coins to introduce new users.

Now the word has been stolen by scammers enticing people to look at ads and click on links, or even nonsense like "1 btc raffle faucet". When these guys do pay, they pay dust that is cheaper to discard than pay the additional fees to get it out of your wallet. There is no faucet, click "ignore".

If you want to test Bitcoin with free fake money, start it with the -testnet option, where there is still a faucet and the coins are useful because they are worthless.

Hi,

I am using the faucet of http://boklund.nu/bunnyrun/ a few times(2 weeks now) but i don't see any transaction of them on blockchain.info.
I just entered my btc address 1Pp2L6SjivEfPu3td7oyy16si1A51S1m7D in that coin of BTC and slide the captcha to fit. Then i let the bunny run and see what place i am, and howmany btc i won. Are the btc's normally directly added to the wallet or is it added to a site like coinbase.com or any?

Grtz
