Bitcoin Faucet - Come Get Some!

This faucet is now closed.

Sometimes, the only thing better than getting something, is giving something away. So, since I've added a bitcoin donation link in the upper-right corner of the site, I decided to likewise add a bitcoin faucet here. Kinda like one of those take a penny, leave a penny trays, I suppose.

There's a whole multitude of things you can do with bitcoin nowadays. Everything from bitcoin-based advertising (Anonymous Ads, Mellow Ads, Bee-Ads) to payment systems, and more. This whole idea of currency meets public-key cryptography-gone-viral will continue to be an interesting thing to watch over the next few years. The smallest unit of bitcoin is called satoshi in honor of the creator(s) of bitcoin who operate(s) under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. This unit is 0.00000001 BTC. That's right, 1 one-hundred-millionth of a full bitcoin. Don't worry, it adds up pretty quickly. ;)
