I feel like at this point the faucet will just be abused :/ sad but true
The faucet will be abused, but it won't be
just abused. Scammers will manage to get their hands on BTC via the faucet, but it will also continue putting BTC into the hands of new users. I think the faucet is a
great first step into the bitcoin economy and I'm happy to hear that it will be getting some more funding.
