Title: How To Get Bitcoin (Without Mining or Buying Bitcoin)
Post by: OmegaStarScream on August 16, 2016, 02:20:33 PM
I just saw this video on Coindesk website and since Coindesk is considered as one of the legit websites out there to get news about BTC & crypto currencies , I thought this should be legit as well (unlike Cointelegraph).
I didn't watch the video myself as my internet speed isn't good lately but I thought I should share it with you guys : https://coindesk.wistia.com/medias/p5nyjgbvln

After 20 seconds of this video I was welcomed by this:

So thanks, but no thanks. I don't want to share my email and name with Coindesk. So this video is not legit source in my eyes.

haha after a few minutes you need t oregister to see that way to "earn bitcoin without mining or btc", this reminds of that "How to earn milions from home", "How to enlarge your private male part", etc... Hilarious.

I cant watch the whole video its asking for a name and email.. according to details its looks like a software that you just open it and you will earn bitcoin.. this is still like a miner software that you can earn mining bitcoin in cpu or gpu. but i dont if its in the video..

They clearly mentioned that this is what was happening in the early days and not anymore, and the title clearly says "Without mining" so I'm sure It has nothing to do with mining or running software on your PC. If it's mining then there is no kind of softwares out there to generate BTC.

As most of the people reported that they are asking real information's (and I haven't tested it myself) , I will close the topic. (I will leave the link in the OP In case you want to try it anyway)
