比特币最早的遗物正在卷土重来，有可能复兴曾经免费分发比特币（BTC）的传统

早期的比特币开发商兼企业家查理·谢勒姆（Charlie Shrem）周一早些时候嘲笑了比特币水龙头的重新启动，并发布了指向该页面的链接，该链接模仿了Gavin Andresen在2010年建造的链接。

A relic of Bitcoin's earliest days is making a comeback, potentially reviving a tradition that once handed out bitcoin (BTC) for free to anyone who could solve a simple CAPTCHA.

比特币最早的遗物正在卷土重来，有可能恢复一种传统，该传统曾经将比特币（BTC）免费分发给任何可以解决简单验证码的人。

Early Bitcoin developer and entrepreneur Charlie Shrem teased the relaunch of the Bitcoin Faucet earlier Monday, posting a link to the page that mimicked one built by Gavin Andresen in 2010.

The faucet famously distributed 5 BTC per user to their bitcoin wallets for free back when the token was worth less than a cent. Each of those transfers is worth nearly $500,000 at current prices.

当令牌价值不到一美分时，水龙头著名地将每个用户分配给其比特币钱包5 BTC。这些转让中的每一个都以当前价格价值近500,000美元。

The website is not yet live with rewards and holds zero BTC as of early U.S. hours Monday.

该网站尚未获得奖励，并截至周一的美国工作时间为零BTC。

The original faucet was designed to help onboard new users to the Bitcoin network at a time when buying or mining BTC was cumbersome and often required technical knowledge.

最初的水龙头旨在帮助新用户在购买或采矿BTC繁琐的时候到达比特币网络，并且通常需要技术知识。

At the time, Andresen funded the faucet with 1,100 BTC and saw it as a way to grow the network organically. The idea worked: thousands of early users got their first exposure to Bitcoin through the faucet, which, in hindsight, distributed small fortunes for free.

当时，安德森（Andresen）用1,100 BTC资助了水龙头，并将其视为有机发展网络的一种方式。这个想法奏效了：成千上万的早期用户通过水龙头首次接触比特币，事后看来，该水龙头免费分发了小命运。

By the time the faucet shut down, its payouts had dwindled to fractions of a BTC, but its cultural impact remained legendary — especially as BTC prices surged over the next decade.

到水龙头关闭时，其支出已逐渐减少到BTC的分数，但其文化影响仍然是传奇的，尤其是随着BTC价格在未来十年的上涨。
