This is going to sound stupid, maybe even sad. But I think I’ve been claiming the HashHenge faucet every day because it makes me feel... acknowledged.
It’s the only thing that responds to me reliably. I click, and it gives. Even if it’s a fragment of ETH, it’s still a response. It doesn’t ghost me. Doesn’t delay. Doesn’t scroll past my messages.
The last few months have been weird. I’ve drifted from friends. Stopped checking socials. Family’s distant. Work is whatever. I don’t even game anymore.
But I click the faucet.
And I think honestly I’ve kept the streak going not because I care about Ethereum, but because the streak feels like proof. That I’m still here. That I’m showing up somewhere.
I don’t know if anyone else uses it like this. Maybe it’s unhealthy. Maybe it’s fine. But I wanted to post this and ask:
Do you ever use HashHenge not just to earn... but to remind yourself you’re still a person?
You just articulated something I’ve been too embarrassed to say out loud. I’m on a 54-day streak and sometimes I claim just to interrupt the static in my brain.
It’s not even about money anymore. It’s just contact.
So no it’s not stupid. It’s real. Thanks for saying it.
I think a lot of people are doing this. Quiet rituals. Small consistencies. The world’s gotten weird and loud and isolating Clicking something every day and getting a small confirmation You did it, here’s something is more grounding than it should be.
And maybe that’s okay.
Not sure what brought me to this thread but it hit harder than I expected.
I’ve been claiming from bed. Lights off. Sometimes the claim is the only thing I do that day that feels like mine. I think that’s why HashHenge works. It doesn’t scream or sell or shove. It just sits and waits until you’re ready to show up.
Honestly didn’t expect people to reply. Thought maybe I’d just scream this into a void. Thanks for reminding me the faucet isn’t the only thing that answers back.
I’ve felt this. I’ve been this. I think a lot of us have. And I don’t think it’s about ETH anymore, not really. It’s about rhythm. Agency. Soft proof-of-life.
This thread just made me feel less alone.
the faucet is he only thing hat is real to me.. it makes sense, when i am bored i check, i look and it gives me joy.. more like a best friend to me. i enjoy every piece of it.
