I juste claims coins, but haven't received anything in my wallet!
In order to avoid punitive Dogecoin transaction fees, coins are sent out to your wallet once your balance reaches 0.1 dogecoins, we are working on ways to make this threshold lower, stay tuned.
My balance reached 0.1Ɖ, but I haven't received anything yet!
Dogecoins are sent in batches in order to reduce transation costs, please allow up to 48 hours to receive the coins (you will be able to see the transation after requestion coins again), if you haven't received anything after 48 hours, double check that you are looking at the right address, and if you are, please reach out to contact@dogefaucet.com

Where do the Dogecoins come from?
All dogecoins in the faucet come from donations from contributors. I make donations myself
(Korri) a lot, but as I
have to buy those with the money from the ads revenues.
So this website could not survive without all those generous contributors and their generous donations.
What is a faucet?
A faucet is (in the cryptocurrencies world) a website that gives away coins, a few coins at a time (called
drops).
The main and original purpose is to help people new to the community get their first coins.
Faucets usually restrict the number of times you can ask for coins with time limitation. With
dogefaucet.com you can ask for coins every 2 hours.
Why would I make a donations?
- Contributing to dogefaucet.com helps the community, by helping new users to get their first coins.
- You will also be allowed to choose a name and link that will be displayed on the homepage for a while, and as long at it ranks in the top 4.
How can I get a dogecoin address?
To receive dogecoin you need a wallet. You can download the official wallet on dogecoin.com, or you can use a browser wallet like the one linked on this same site.
- If you choose to download the wallet, run it and you will be able to copy you address from the "Much receive" tab, but you will not receive any coins until the wallet is fully synchronized.
- If you choose the web wallet dogevault.com, you can get your address from the "Receive Dogecoin" tab, and you do not need to wait dor synchronization.
Why hide donations under 20Ɖ on the homepage?
I created this rule in order to stop people who made 4 small donations in a row just to take the homepage space with their link and name. It is still possible now, but at least it will feed the faucet at least 400 coins.
Is it really free?
This website's costs for hosting and maintenance are all paid by ads revenue, so it's 100% free to use for you!
I already donated, can I donate more?
You can use the find my address page to get your personal dogecoin contributor address (it might have changed, so please use the form). Any donations made to this address will be added to you contributors total.
I love the idea, I want to create a faucet!
All cryptocurrency base on Bitcoin or Litecoin use the same API. So you can use all source code created for any of this currencies. Here is a good example: Greedi/litecoin-faucet.
