Yes someone gamed the faucet.  That little trick has been fixed and now needs Proof of Work to get a reward.  However do to this scammy bastard.  This feature will now and possibly forever break the in wallet faucet feature.

I haven't had any time yet to look at redoing the wallet to faucet interactions and is low on my priority list.  But if your in the discord where I do most of my posting you'll find out when the faucet to wallet gets fixed.
