User AlexMay, told in this post, about a magical faucet, with the help of which anyone could earn a lambo in 5 minutes. The post is in Russian, so I decided to make a translation, because consider it is interesting.
I remembered another amusing fact from those times when bitcoin cost a penny.
What do you think, what was the payment of the very first bitcoin-faucet?
5BTC!
I learned this by stumbling upon a topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1365217.0
The crane was created by the crypto-enthusiast and Bitcoin Foundation participant Gavin Andresen, in order to popularize bitcoin among the "broad masses of the population", mining of which became unavailable due to increasing difficulty.
To get 5BTC it was necessary to go to the site (which did not have any advertising at all!), Confirm "humanity" with captcha, enter the bitcoin-address and click on the " Get Some!" button.
The web.archive.org website contains sample pages of this faucet. Here is the oldest, dated July 3, 2010:

Screenshot:
"I distribute 5 bitcoins to each visitor, just solve the captcha, enter the bitcoin address and click Get Some!"
For those who wished to support Andresens idea, it was proposed to transfer the feasible amount to the address 15VjRaDX9zpbA8LVnbrCAFzrVzN7ixHNsC.
According to https://blockchain.info/address/15VjRaDX9zpbA8LVnbrCAFzrVzN7ixHNsC,the total amount of donations was 19715 BTC.
As the bitcoin rate rises, the faucet payoff has decreased to 0.05BTC as early as August 2010, and to 0.02BTC in 2011. Then the faucet closed, forever ...
P.S. Look at the screenshot. In the button "Get Some!".
Here she is!
This coveted button "Money!", Which was searched for crowds of newcomers, here, on the forum, at the end of last year.
P.P.S. I repent and sin!
Entering the crane in the web archive, entered the address, captcha, clicked "Get Some!", And ...
The best faucet
