Hi,
I am new to bitcoin and was planning to get some bitcoins from freebitco.in and sites like that. I already have a coinbase account and bitcoin core installed on my computer. When I signed up for freebitco.in, it said that i was getting free bitcoin, but it wasn't showing up in either bitcoin core or coinbase. I used my bitcoin address to login for freebitco.in, so i don't know why it isn't working. A little help please?

(P.S. sorry if this is in the wrong board)

Welcome to the bitcoin community! I think I know what your problem is - it's that freebitco.in has a minimum withdraw threshold that you need to reach before getting a withdraw (partially to stay above the dust threshold, and to save on transaction fees). I believe you need over ~5.5k satoshi for automatic weekly withdraws, and over 10k satoshi for a daily withdraw. Sending payouts of a few hundred satoshi will cost a lot more in fees (at least 5k satoshi probably), so they bunch up the withdraws.

The correct section for your post is Marketplace -> Service Discussion.

So what you are saying is that I need a minimum amount of satoshi to start getting bitcoins into my account?

That's right because that is will just exhausting caused by fee you will get and that is why you need for reaching a minimum amount for withdrawing your amount into your account balance.

ok thanks :)

there is threshold limit , daily you can claim only few sathoshi's  , wait it reaches the limit before withdrawing and like 20000 sathoshis , once it is done you can click withdraw ,but it will be sent during weekends , and if you want  immediate ,then they charge some transaction fees on that.

There is a weekly payout or you have to enable withdrawal. You can't seen your money in your wallet until you withdraw it from freebitco.in. I'm too member of freebitco.in best way to earn from it if from getting referrals don't buy too many tickets too. Good luck.

Since you're a new user in the bitcoin world, i'd like to take the time to give you a warning/tip about what you're doing:
1) you're using coinbase, which is fine, but you have to be carefull because they're known to lock accounts when they feel the user is doing something against their TOS (for example, gambling). Also, you're not the only one having controll of your private keys, so you're not the one in controll of your own funds. I would encourage you to use desktop/paper/hardware wallets to store the bulk of your funds.

2) you're using bitcoin core, wich is GREAT  ;D. Just make sure you take regular backups of your wallet.dat, make sure you have a strong password and keep your virus protection up-to-date. Also, always double-check any address before creating a transaction

3) your main source of income are faucets... This is not such a good thing... You're harvesting a lot of micro-inputs... If you ever decide to use those inputs to pay somebody, you'll have to pay a huge fee in order to get your transaction included in a block!!! Fees are calculated based on the transaction size (not the ammount of BTC sent). The size gets bigger for each additional input/output used/generated in the transaction, so if you use hundreds of micro-inputs, the size will be enormous, and you'll have to pay a huge fee to tempt a miner to include your transaction in the block he/she is mining.
Also, if you do the math, you make waaay less per hour visiting faucets than you would make doing dishes, having a newspaper round, working at Mc. donalds. It might be a better idear to get an IRL job and use part of the earnings to buy BTC.

I think you have to wait till they process your payment, if the free bitcoins are seen in top of your account balance in freebitco.in than you have to wait few more days and when it will be 0 there, you can check your bitcoin core or coinbase account if you have provided correct bitcoin address you will get your free bitcoin.

the payment for automatic withdrawal is every sunday in a weeks and the minimum amount for withdrawal its more than 0.00025000 BTC in a week, if you have not reach that amount, then you still continue to play until you reach the minimum.

but if you don't activated automatic withdraw, then you can withdraw in anytime as long as you reach the minimum amount to withdraw.

i play freebitco.in to and i enabled automatic withdraw. if i don't reach minimum amount (0.00025 BTC) then i still play until i reach that amount and i can get payment in sunday next week.

thanks everybody  ;D
