i like the fact that you can put your address upon claiming so that means you can instantly see what you claim in any wallet ? and they pay for the fees but thats possible because fees before are small due to the small value of btc .

nowadays faucets pay out a few satoshis per roll and each transaction costs around $5 to be mined in the next 25 blocks, hence the accumulation but back then bitcoins were experimental and mostly miners didn't expect getting paid through fees. I believe 2010 were the days when greedy people started using GPUs to mine more bitcoins so 50BTC were enough for them to enjoy the experimentation. gavin received some really good donations to the wallet amount so it was easier for him to run the faucet without expecting anything in return.

its created in 2008 but it took a year before the first transaction took place ? wow i think people are too skeptical that time with btc and they are hesitant to try it and then it took over 2 year for a btc powered gambling site to appear.

The first sample source code was released by satoshi on November 2008 upon request and first transaction took place on Jan 2009 when the network went live. You need to run your computer all the time to mine bitcoin, so many didn't really do that activity like how miners run today tirelessly and 365 days a year. Gambling with bitcoins had its roots in our forum where people like Xunie experimented bitcoin based gambling stuff since 2010. See this topic for more info : World's FIRST Bitcoin Lottery

Even though Stunna's main project right now seems to be Stake.com, PD back in the day was JD's biggest rivals - and they were probably getting more users on a day to day basis compared to a small circle of JD bettors.

Stunna's Prime Dice was powered by a really good high paying signature campaign. I am not sure if there was a signature campaign for Just Dice, but Prime Dice had a higher popularity in forum because of its really good advertising. Signature Campaign impacts started probably because of Stunna's advertising technique in 2013 and we have come a long way since then in sig adverts.
