how long have faucets been around?
were there faucets when BTC was worth 15$?
I want to know, because when btc was still at a low value, faucets probably paid out much higher amounts of btc.
what was only pennies a few years ago would be quite a lot now.
it would be the only time faucets have been worth the hassle and time... I guess if btc goes to the moon there will be some happy present day faucet users out there.
Take for example the following thread, started by giantdragon, in 2011, relating to his ad sponsored faucet:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dailybitcoinsorg-bitcoin-faucet-sponsored-by-ads-32532. Initially, the faucet seems to have been giving out somewhere between 0.0005 btc and 0.005 btc per hour - definitely not bad, going by today's prices - and I'm sure others paid out even more.
By the way, nice leet post count (are you deleting posts to keep it at leet?).
You would probably get more if you got a job and then bought BTC with money from the job.
It is true. But if you consider that they are giving money away for free.
I must say this is the best faucet ever.
But, unless you have referrals working for you, the coins you get from the faucet aren't really free, are they? You still have to pay for them with the cost of electricity to keep your computer running, and more importantly, with your time and energy - time and energy which could be better spent doing something productive, instead of solving captchas for a living. And has mallard pointed out, you would probably be getting a lot more coins that way.
