Sorry, I Turned Off My Bitcoin Faucet

Throughout its history, the faucet paid out over 12.795 bitcoins to its users.

The first faucet was actually created back in 2010 as a way of giving people free bitcoins to spread the word about it.

You may not believe it, but back then that faucet gave out 5 whole bitcoins for each new visitor.

Of course, in the beginning, there were only bitcoin faucets but today there is a faucet for almost every major cryptocurrency out there.

Back then you have to know a little bit of code, but today there are various faucet plugins out there for WordPress that you can use.

Somewhere around March 2018 I removed the ads completely and decided to run the faucet at a loss.

Since we were maintaining our crypto faucet plugin for WordPress, I needed a working faucet to see it was working properly.

Use different types of coins - I ran only a bitcoin faucet and it made it hard to keep up with the rising exchange rate.

Aside from the classic bitcoin faucet approach, there are many other sites that are doing something similar but not identical.

There aren't any "Out of the box" plugins or scripts for sites that aren't a normal faucet.
