What error did you get, farmer_boy?  The only errors I see in the server's logs are "rate limit" errors. @p{par}

The Faucet tries hard to prevent people from cheating and using it more than once; unfortunately, that means if somebody who "looks like you" uses the Faucet before you, you might be prevented from getting your coins.   If that happens, try again a day later. @p{par}

I've been thinking about implementing a two-tiered Faucet:  one that gives out a smaller number of coins and just requires you solve the CAPTCHA (and has all the current anti-cheating measures in place; there @p{(bf}are@p{bf)} one or two people still people cheating, but they're only able to get a few bit-pennies an hour, and they're going through an amazing amount of trouble to do it). @p{par}

And another that gives out a larger number of coins if you login with a valid Google account.   Getting tens or hundreds of Google accounts is harder than solving CAPTCHAS. @p{par}

But if I did do that... I'd get accused of implementing the Faucet as a sneaky way of stealing Google account email addresses. @p{par}

Sigh. @p{brk}
