Does anybody know why the new low amount of Satoshi you can get on freebitco.in is so low?  Mine is at .00000154.  That's down from .00000616 less than 12 hours ago.

Looks like adsense killed their ads, could by why

Freebitco normaly adjusted its reward on bitcoin price movements, but this change can't be linked to a big movement on bitcoin prices. Could be that someone hitted the jackpot or ads partner lowered their payments.

I'm just thinking maybe adsense block them that's why they needed to lowered the rewards while looking for another ads and continue their service, I know they can put it back knowing their reputation as a good paying faucets we just needed to wait for a while.

my earning was 91 satoshi  ???

I found that there pages have no more adsense. Seems like recently there adsense account got suspended. I guess they earned enough in last 2-3 years.

mine also 91 satosi.and i can see there is no adsense ads in their site.that's why admin change the payment structure for every claim.there was some few faucets who faced this adsense issue.i hope all things back to normal if the ads network allow to display google ads

Yeah, hopefully it will go back up.  There are other options for ad revenue.

Many of the faucets are dead or near dead at the moment. Google banned most of them that is the first reason. The second reason is, people are cheating/botting and stealing the satoshis out of them. Third reason is; they were going to die anyways that's not a sustainable business model where more people use adblock everyday.

Nah, i think google has banned their site, not only them lot of faucet out there had same problem, so far google adsense is the highest paying, not sure if they will increase the rate once they find another advertiser

Anyway this topic should be move, on microearning section or service discussion

woow, now 0.00000028 BTC minimum amount for me.. very disappointing :(
but if google adsense banned most of all faucet site, we can say RIP Faucets jobs. the only way is profitable

I was actually surprised that my usual claim from ~300 sats dropped to nearly half (~160 sats). It's just sad that I've only had my first claim last month and it'll probably take me a longer time to get that minimum now.

No one even paid for faucet jobs before, aside from the Raiblocks faucet thing which probably only happened because you couldn't buy it/MRAI could be exchanged for a decent amount of satoshis. BTC faucet jobs were always very stupid - why get paid to claim on a faucet when you could use your own BTC address and get the full amount of satoshis.

does someone has tried contact the admin of website?

Such a bad news! I was hoping, freebitco will live much longer ._.

i think you may post at micro earning section and they already have thread there  ;)

what happen to my favorite faucet? is there anyone here who already confirmed it from their admin? adjusting the reward and make it too low will throw away visitors I hope the faucet owners will make some moves and be aware or if possible provide proper explanation just like what bounsbitco did before when adsense banned them.

 Freebitco.in was good site may be their ad partner lowered the rates as said above , i was claiming their satoshi's regularly :(

I have another site identical to frebitco.in where is the minimum claim curently 280 satoshi. You can ask for the link in PM. :)

Faucets can't live long without google adsense. there is no other way to monetize a faucet well. all other advertisment networks are just bulshit and with them people can't even get back their investment. only adsense is a way to get profit from faucets and google adsense just blocking all faucets who don't have enough contents..
Plust using faucet is now just waste of time.

Why is using faucets a waste of time now?

is there any way to earn bitcoin other than faucet ?

Perhaps they do it because there are so many abusers on their site, I saw so many people sharing about tricks to abuse this faucet by having so many accounts with 1 device only.

P.S : I could be wrong on this.

It was because they have lost their adsense account, but admin has since recovered a new one. The low payouts were temporary until a solution was provided, which it has been. All is back to what it was before the payouts were reduced. For more information regarding freebitco.in, you can follow this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319540.0

The admin (wetsuit (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=154142)) is pretty active there.

I used this site for long time , and got good amount of bitcoin from it . I am sad to know that it lowered its payment rate , but that is original in my opinion , because most of faucets depend on advertisement to pay its users , maybe like other members say , google adsense was halted their account , I hope they can find another method to increase payment rate , because there are a lot of faucets still pay good rate like 1000 satoshi or more per hour , they can use the same advertising programs that this faucets use .

Its all depends on what they earn from their site so lower earning will leads to lower rewards for users. Also rate of exchange also responsible for lower price of rewards.

Looks like they have righted themselves with some new advertising.  That's good news.
