Title: Why Free BTC Sites are a Waste of time Post by: Foofighter on April 30, 2013, 05:50:23 PM see this very nice youtube video for that Topic,
in the Video you can see some calculations over a given test period. You can also see how long it takes to get a decent amount of BTC with 15 given FREE BTC sites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqF3XfH1sc4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqF3XfH1sc4) regards Title: Re: Why Free BTC Sites are a Waste of time Post by: gdbutler on April 30, 2013, 05:52:20 PM It is definitely not a good method for earning a living, but it is a great way for newbies to get their first satoshis and become familiar with the bitcoin system.

Title: Re: Why Free BTC Sites are a Waste of time Post by: nickha0 on April 30, 2013, 06:04:14 PM lol even mining isnt a great way to get bitcoins for someone who is new :D Not necessarily. My friend is new to BTC but has a decent gaming rig, he's getting 550 Mh/s and is making more than I am. Not anywhere near enough to make a living, but very nice pocket change somewhere to the tune of $40-50 a month Title: Re: Why Free BTC Sites are a Waste of time Post by: Portnoy on April 30, 2013, 06:44:00 PM A reply I made in another thread about the complaint that free bitcoin sites, like the ones listed here, are not worth it... what good are they if one only gets very very small amounts that is not worth the time... etc. --- Well no one, I hope, is suggesting that this is a viable source of income which will allow one to give up their regular job. :D ( then again, who knows what 0.0053 BTC [the amount complained about] might be worth several years from now. ) When I first found out about Bitcoin I wanted to try it out as soon as possible; I am sure many other newbies are the same. Signing up to some exchange or using some of the other methods for buying bitcoins can be a hassle, and can have fees higher than someone just wanting to try things out would like. So using these few free bitcoins sites can be a good way of trying things out... it is exciting to get that first payment to ones wallet... and if other newbies are like me they will be just as excited to gather enough together to send them off to a friend or a worthy charity or the like, in order to try sending as well as receiving. And getting new users excited about Bitcoin and getting them using it right away can only be good for Bitcoin as a whole. Also see this recent post: Thank you very much for this, you have getting me started on BTC and today I will buy some myself :D There are lots of quotes like that. It may not be worth it to you but many others find it worthwhile for their own reasons. ;) No Free Lunch https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=90718.msg1046513#msg1046513 Title: Re: Why Free BTC Sites are a Waste of time Post by: Anillos on April 30, 2013, 07:22:53 PM It is definitely not a good method for earning a living, but it is a great way for newbies to get their first satoshis and become familiar with the bitcoin system. +1It's not a great worth, but It is a way of getting in. Also, when I started to use these sites, they gave 0.0001 - 0.001 / visit. At this moment, is a small amount of money... but it's a little more. |
