First of three threads about things on the constellation you can actually use. This one first, because it asks nothing of you.
What it is. A faucet. It gives away (BOB). No registration, no login, no email address, no captcha farm, no "connect wallet". You paste an address, it sends you coin.
How to use it- Open the faucet (https://dobbscoin.info/faucet/)
- Paste a (BOB) receiving address in the box
- Press EXECUTE CLAIM
- Come back in twelve hours, do it again
One (BOB) a claim, one claim every twelve hours. If you have no address yet, any wallet from the downloads page (https://dobbscoin.info/downloads/) will mint you one in about thirty seconds, and the Android wallet (https://android.dobbscoin.info/) does it without asking you anything at all.
The books, since faucets lie. It prints its own accounts across the top:
Reserves: 994.99998865 (BOB)
Total paid: 13,990.00000000 (BOB)
Donations in: 1,113.00000000 (BOB)
That middle number needs an asterisk and I would rather be the one to put it there. On 2026-06-26 somebody pointed a botnet at this faucet — 13,578 claims from 13,799 distinct addresses in twenty hours, one freshly minted address per claim, tuned to sit just under every rate limit — and took about 13,900 (BOB). That is roughly
97% of everything this faucet has ever paid out. Strip it out and the real number is a couple of hundred coin over six months, which is what one or two claims a day looks like.
So do not read "total paid" as generosity. Read it as a receipt for the day we got taken.
The good part. He built the botnet and then forgot to get paid. All ~13,900 (BOB) are still sitting where they landed, one coin each across 13,914 addresses, untouched. There is a tripwire on every one of them that alarms the moment anybody starts consolidating. The whole confession is written up on BitcoinTalk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=792459.msg66987599#msg66987599).
Three things changed the same week: a proof-of-work on every claim, a hard ceiling of 50 (BOB) a day across every payout path, and velocity alarms wired to somebody who answers. The faucet never closed, not for an hour.
It runs dry. Regularly. When reserves hit zero the claim fails and you wait. Nobody is refilling it out of a treasury — it refills from donations, and the donation terminal is on the same page: 1PZrHhx73Hekd7auVfDENWRv3fS6csuT7L
Coin you put in there goes straight back out to strangers, twelve hours at a time.
That is the whole thing. It is a tap. Turn it.
