who of you made use of this service back then?

this site has somehow passed me by at that time...


There were many faucets back in the day but you only got very little (for that period) and needed to watch ads or wait a certain period of time.
You got 5 bitcoins ffrom that faucet when it first started, and you didn't need to watch ads or wait. However 5 bitcoins was probably worth less than half a cent back then.
