back in 2011 when i started my interest in btc and before i started to gpu mine and receive actual btc i wanted to test my core wallet to make sure i knew how to receive btc and could create an address and play with how the wallet worked. so i remember getting some btc once from a faucet, maybe gavins as there were hardly any at that time. wish i could remember which one and how much.. thought it was less that 1 btc though.
but heres the thing. im still running and actively using the core wallet i created in june 2011...
Gavin's faucet was probably paying between 0.001 and 0.02 BTC in June 2011. All the pages between these two cover that month.

sweet! thanks for that. gonna check it out.
the 1st few txs from my current wallet (my original 2011 wallet thats still in use) was from slush, so i confident had figured it out by that point. apparently i created a new wallet (the current one) at that point.
