Thanks Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: Jerry from Rochester on April 30, 2013, 06:37:00 PM Thanks for the warning. I learned that there are people who would lie on the internets. It's sad that theys come and lies on the internets.

Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: shapemaker on April 30, 2013, 06:41:41 PM Internets... where 14 yo girls are FBI agents, soccer moms pose as 18 yo teenagers and where there are actually no girls. Honest.
All invented by Al Gore :P Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: Portnoy on April 30, 2013, 06:42:14 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. ;) Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: talnted on April 30, 2013, 06:45:07 PM Do your research first. There are alot of scam websites that will indeed steal your info.
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: Portnoy on April 30, 2013, 06:49:15 PM Do your research first. There are alot of scam websites that will indeed steal your info. That's why it is a good thing to use the thread here, Free Bitcon Sites ( newbie version, including newbie lotto ) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=90718 which is checked everyday by hundreds of members who follow the thread, to make sure the sites are legit and to remove any that are not. If you find any in this list that are a scam then please let us know. Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: Prefinem on April 30, 2013, 07:12:42 PM There are sites that do give away free bitcoin. If you have internet on a computer and your computer won't mine, and you have no life, then you can get a small amount of bitcoins, but not enough to do anything.
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: technocoma on April 30, 2013, 07:14:06 PM Just like the rest of the internet.. lol

Thanks It's in my signature, but if you insist: https://free.btc.pt Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: FoundNemo on April 30, 2013, 07:57:31 PM They are all scams and ponzies.. Because cryptos are still new and growing rapidly and few restrictions if any at all, people opening websites for these games are always trying to take what they can from you
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: Eich on April 30, 2013, 08:00:38 PM Internets. That is all.
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: g0dbra1n on April 30, 2013, 08:11:15 PM They are all scams and ponzies.. Because cryptos are still new and growing rapidly and few restrictions if any at all, people opening websites for these games are always trying to take what they can from you I don't think all are ponzies... Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: Steiner11 on April 30, 2013, 08:21:55 PM Never tired one out, but looked at them... I think I'll keep my (VERY) hard earned BTC...
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: Portnoy on April 30, 2013, 08:27:52 PM Never tired one out, but looked at them... I think I'll keep my (VERY) hard earned BTC... "Steal your money" ... "ponzies" ... OMG! OMG! :o How many of you making these claims have actually checked them out... they may waste your precious time but they give 'you' BTC not the other way around.

If I had a big 'ol stash of BTC from the gold-rush-early-miners-kind-of-stuff I would try Satoshi's Dice. Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: Prefinem on April 30, 2013, 08:45:04 PM Satoshi's Dice isn't too bad, at least if you have a high percentage.
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: SquishySquish on April 30, 2013, 09:56:33 PM Far as I can tell, there are actually some really legit ones. They don't make you rich, but at least it's something
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: Prefinem on April 30, 2013, 10:14:08 PM Yes there are... I actually recieved 2-3 payments today for some that I did.
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: DigitalCurrencyConsultant on May 01, 2013, 01:50:15 AM Me too Keep my BTC and other currency ;D
People become so stupid when they gamble they end up losing it all.

I was joking. Everything you read on the Internet has been written by a responsible human being like you and me! If it wasn't verified and double-checked, it wouldn't be here, silly you. Do you think people would fool other people just to gain some advantage, little bunny? Why on earth would they do that? Sigh.

So the bunny is a responsible human being? ;) Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: mullick on May 01, 2013, 08:52:02 AM Anyone heard of the bitcointapper app for android? anyone get a successful withdrawal?
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: upsidedownforklift on May 01, 2013, 08:58:03 AM So I wonder what the ratio of scam sites to legit ones there are? The chance of making a few bucks seems to attract all sorts of weird characters...
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: dbru77 on May 01, 2013, 09:24:39 AM No, little bunny. I was joking.

So the bunny is a responsible human being? ;) You got me, Chief ;) Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: jc328 on May 01, 2013, 10:02:20 AM Yup, wish you could just trust randoms on the interest however...perhaps a paid site or one that uses your real info to discourage scams...but that has its negative consequences as well... :-\
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: jc328 on May 01, 2013, 10:07:14 AM So I wonder what the ratio of scam sites to legit ones there are? The chance of making a few bucks seems to attract all sorts of weird characters... I'd venture to guess an 80/20 ratio leaning on scams...They wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't working, and it typically is a numbers game for them. Each newbie that gets caught funds another 100+ scams unfortunately. Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: sharochka on May 01, 2013, 10:07:47 AM I don't know about girls on the internet, but there are women. I'm right here. Some of us are nerds too.

Nah - You are probably a CIA agent posing as a girl. :P Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: Bleeb on May 01, 2013, 11:50:12 AM i tried some free BCsites. After a few day something like 0.0000000000344 came in.
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: Prefinem on May 01, 2013, 01:18:31 PM I wonder if a site for advertisers came on to pay for users to come and rewarded the users with bitcoin is such a bad idea. Something legit, maybe with a survey at the end.
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: mike298342 on May 01, 2013, 02:30:24 PM All the scams out there don't help Bitcoin's image. Hopefully escrow services can develop to well-known services where Bitcoin transfers can be done safely and easily for the average user.
Title: Re: To All the newbies Don't be fooled Post by: jc328 on May 01, 2013, 06:30:54 PM Definitely agree regarding the Escrow service Mike. It would help legitimize everything. I'm sure it'll happen in time.

Do you think people would fool other people just to gain some advantage, little bunny? Why on earth would they do that? Sigh. What kind of name is dbru77 anyways? I's been told by JJ that you are not correct. I know it was surprising to me too. I don't know whys they's wanna not be truthful, but they's do. Be careful on the internets! |
