who of you made use of this service back then? Wink

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

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 from 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.

On June 23, 2010 Gavin added a CAPTCHA. He discusses it in this post.

Yes, Gavin is a true legend for being the first person to really implement a legitimate automated Bitcoin service. Even if the service was just to give away BTC, at the time it was groundbreaking. I'm pretty sure I remember claiming from it one time even...

Maybe this address is yours.
