Bitcoin Forum

Someone who's been pretty helpful to me in another forum has a signature for a site called FreeBitco.in

I'm wondering about sites like these - are they trustworthy? I imagine I won't get very much in terms of actual value, but hey some is better than none... right? :)

My main concern is whether this site is known to carry viruses, keyloggers, etc? My antivirus didn't show anything when I checked out the site but I hesitate to get too involved.

Thanks for any info :)

IMO. If something is "too good to be true" then it's probably not a good idea. "Free" and links are usually a red flag for me. Tread carefully.

I don't know where you have read this with the viruses...
I claim hourly my 500sat there and it is still working.
Some years before they made his money with advertising campaigns now it isn't nessecary anymor because of the Dice and the Lotery. Some months ago they had also ad a browserminig service ... this is not really profitable...
All in all it is one of the oldest and best Faucets/ gambling sites I have ever tested. It is also paying:D.

Yea, freebitco is the most famous faucet and I assure you it is not scam. Check the ann thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319540.0  to see users feedback.
There is lot of scam faucets which let you solve captchas for weeks but when it comes to payout you get nothing. But not shis case. The owner has enough funds and has no reason to try any scam/keylogger or w/e.

Feel free to use my reflink (in signature). I'm giving 60% of my earnings back to my affiliates.

Isn't a scam, you can get free satoshis every hour, and play a HI-LO game to multiply your income.

you can join to Freebitco.in through my referal link: https://freebitco.in/?r=9317085 (https://freebitco.in/?r=9317085)

Its not a scam and it has an established history and confirmed payouts. Its browser miner is a user select option so you don't get bombarded with it like other unprofessional sites. Its one of the first faucet sites I came across in cryptospace and I've had no dramas with it.

Its also just made BTG available from the fork on your BTC balance they offer you the option to earn interest on your balance after you reach the 30k satoshi withdrawal limit. As well as that they have the lottery options etc and a reward points program. And they have the freedoge.co.in site also.

Of course it is not scam and you can earn some bitcoins every minutes but you should know how many bitcoins you will earn. I think for every 30 minutes you can earn 0,000000001 mBTC; m means that you should put some zero also :) Don't waste your time with these buddy

i've claimed when the price start with 900 satoshi per hour, and i got over than 3mBtc per week, then now i get nothing just dump rest of my coin to get profit every day(only small amount). about keylogger or viruses you can use on screen keyboard if you not trust that web, and also update your anti virus to make sure you're not being attacked by viruses.

That is where I started, by having a huge referral train on freebitco.in and sometimes claiming from their faucets. Highest I got is 0.001 BTC back in 2014. These sites contain no keyloggers or any other malware as they've been giving away bitcoins for years now in exchange of ad viewership. You don't need to worry about anything and everyone's gotta start somewhere, I guess.

Useful information, thank you

Those websites are so called faucets. They earn money from showing you ads and give you small part in return. But don't imagine that you will get to much and that you will be rich by doing these. In my opinion there are better ways where you can start to earn bitcoin and where you can spend your time on. Even if you think you don't know to do anything by this point - I'd advise you to learn something that you can do from home such as programming, support, writer, designer  and many more.... You can learn this and other things mostly for free so you can start to earn fiat and transfer to btc or simply trade your skills for payments in bitcoin.


I have started with websites like these and I can tell you that they can waste your time, from my perspective ofc.

Thank you everyone for all this very helpful information! :)

Yes it is trustworthy I read somewhere and they call it the king of all faucets. Newcomers to bitcoin should try joining freebitco just for the experience of earning their first coins. it also has a lottery which gives out a lot of prizes. it also has a Hi Lo game which multiplies the btc you can earn. And it also has an annual interest of 4.08% if your balance reaches 30000 satoshi if you let it stay there. it is reputable.

Never come across anyone in this community who claim to make money from free bitcoin website. The faucets are waste of time and resources.

As others have mentioned, it's probably the most famous and trusted faucet site. It also allows people to gamble and even to mine in your browser ( https://mining.freebitco.in/mining.html ).

Though that's not very profitable. Getting others to join it through your referral link will probably make you more money, although even that probably won't be of any signifance to your life.

If you want to make some easy, but meaningful amounts of money, try joining Bounty Campaigns or simply Signature Campaigns. Those are far more profitable and are very easy to use too.
If that's nothing for you, you could try using Steemit. Faucets really don't give you a reasonable amount of money.

I didn't made money, that's true. But I made some BTC

in past I shared also some feedback:


hope this gives you picture about the owner.

But true is you can't expect to make a living of it. If you do then prepare to be disappointed.

You can of course Satoshi to collect, but it's quite a bit.

Thanks for your feedback - I really do like the site so far - made nothing thanks to the win-loss game  ;D but I'm approaching it as a fun little side activity and not an active earner anyway.

My only question: I tried clicking on the link that says you can use your browser to passively mine coins and my Malwarebytes immediately blocked it and flagged it as possibly malicious. Anyone else had this experience?

Time better used doing something productive to make some money to buy into BTC!

Good point, but I'm at my computer anyway for hours a day. Takes me almost  no time at all to switch tabs and do a free roll every once in a while :) I've learned my lesson from that hi-lo game anyway so I just do the roll - who knows, maybe I'll get a high number one of these times. Good enough for me in addition to doing that 'doing something more productive' thing you mentioned  ;D

When i checked the site i realized that as you said, site contains some dangerous software on it. Don't believe it if something is too good and easy to get it.

Thank you for the information about freebitco.

They are trustworthy and there are no viruses and etc. They are the first faucets that are still operating and I'm one of their users before but I suggest that you just join bounties instead of wasting your time in faucets. It's not worth it, trust me.

There s a website called “freebitco” and people were giving it a bad press lately. Although for me, it was always one of the best I don’t really use it as much anymore. There are way too much negative comments.

I don't know about negative comments, I've seen mostly positive ones. But the fact that the mining page was flagged for me made me a bit wary. But yeah, it's been one of those things where I click on it if I happen to think of it. I wouldn't call it a waste of time but I definitely do agree that it's not going to make anyone any significant amounts of BTC unless they are very, very lucky and win a jackpot or something!

freebitco is a good taps site that can not have a virus. You can dig the miner on your machine, because you go to a page that is infected with the virus. Be carefull on the unreliable but exploit your cpu

Freebitco.in is by far the longest and legit operating faucet so you don't have to worry about anything like virus. But the hi-low is very difficult to win.

If you really want to get good profit from this site, you have to play hi-low game and if you become greedy, then you will loss everything.  ::)

Use some really good and low profit/loss strategy and you can actually get profit from this site. Otherwise don't play and do only free claim.
Have a good day :)

Time to check out https://bitvideo.club  ;D

We pay instantly and we have no minimum! You can withdraw even at 1 satoshi. Give us a try and you will love it!

OH and we don't have ANY annoying pop ups or ads :D

I dep 0.01 btc and play bet for fun. so amazing that i won 0.02 btc and successfully withdraw. It's definitely no scam

 ;D

absolutely trustworthy!
i keep some of my coins on balance to catch interest rate
my favorite side of the site is support of every fork
i've got bch (lost on dice) and btg (withdraw to exhange)
but keep away from dice
my record is -2.2m satoshi with 1 click on martingale
21 lose streak is possible:)

freebitco.in it's one of the oldest and trusted faucet out there.
The admins are active here on the forum and they usually answer to PM even from newbies.
This is their topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319540.4640

Profit it's not much normally, but they have a good referral system and you have some little chance to win "significative" amount of satoshis.

Very trust worthy site that always pays, I've never had a single problem with freebit other then people trying to get access to my account but thanks to freebit security they have never succeeded.

Also as already mentioned you can store your earnings with them and earn interest which is great :)
