I’ve long since declared it lost forever, but there is still the slim possibility that one of my backup drives has my old Bitcoin wallet that was full of whole bitcoins I got from these faucets ages ago.
If I ever find that, you or my employer will never see or hear from me again. 😆
Same… I mined some around 2010, but didn’t bother to do anything with it because it was worthless.

Bro, you are just sitting around on commenting on Lemmy? Verify without a doubt that it’s gone.
Dude, look for it. What are you doing.
Oh trust me, I have.
Chances are I didn’t even back it up or jettisoned that backup to save space. At the time Bitcoin was less than worthless so I thought nothing of it.
I would go one several of these sites and just do the captchas every few minutes to earn a bunch of satoshi that ended up in a few cents. Then I’d spend that money for the lowest Humble Bundle tiers at less than $1 to get loads of DRM-free games.
Then Humble stopped accepting bitcoins as payment.
This hurts
I spent some time on faucets until I saw all my work was worth only 70 cents.
It was worth 40+ euros some years later
I was talking with a friend about how we could use the free electricity and stack of retired servers at work to mine bitcoin, but it would be a waste of them because bitcoin sill never be worth more than a pizza every few months.
Employer: Why did my electric bill jump up an extra $18,000 this month?
But I thought workplace electricity is FREE!
It is for you!
