With the greatest respect, I was not sure what to make of this thread unless there was some way to corroborate your faucet existed. Reading through at least one member remembers it. It must have been a huge step for you knowing there was going to be a long term positive impact of your faucet even though many would have tried to cheat the system as is done with all faucets.

Sometimes those that contributed in historic ways ended up missing out of life changing riches. Look at the Laszlo and the pizza purchase, it is synonymous with Bitcoin yet the vast majority would not even bother donating a few USD$ in BTC to him if a fund was ever set up for him. There were many people that contributed to the use of not only Bitcoin but crypto too and many of them for one reason or another did not make a lot of money.

It is unfortunate to read you stating you never got "rich", I hope somehow (either via crypto or otherwise) you do make a lot of money.

I know it sounds crazy but I did give away over 20 bitcoin to total strangers with my bitcoin faucet websites back in 2014 to 2017. I never got "rich"
 from crypto but I feel good knowing I had a part of growing the community in the early days. Maybe some of the people I helped had good fortune.

It still blows my mind to this day to think of it all.
