Bitcoin Forum

As I can remember  3year ago while I was hurting for bitcoin from faucets to faucets,  I can make up to 500k sats within a week from faucets!  And am wondering now if it still so?

short answer: NO
long answer: NOOOOOOO
Faucets now are just a waste of time, you will not get enough dust to withdraw in a year, considering also the transaction fee involved.. forget about it, there is nothing to gain from faucets (besides the guy who's running it).

hehehe, funny enough, back then while I was surfing I used to see it as a waste time considering the price of BTC then!

I agree with him but there are some faucets that pays. But it would be just a little. With faucet you needs a lot of time. Also if you consider the transaction fees you will hurt your profit a lot. Best faucets maybe are those in gambling sites. You can make those a lot if you have great luck. But as always gambling isn't advisable at all. will destroy your life.

You'd only make a few small amount of Bitcoins from those faucets. When you get enough to pay out, they take out a chuck of coins and you'd find that it's not worth doing anymore.

Just for micro earnings, some faucets are inside casinos, like bitsler but you gotta be lucky while gambling.

I was similar to you when I first started looking into bitcoin and faucets allowed me to get a little bit to see how it all worked, back then you could make something worthwhile, with the price as much as it currently is I doubt the payouts would be worth it, I haven't looked at any recently but freebitco.in was always one of the legitimate sites.

If you look at it from an aspect of current/present bitcoin price, than it is not profitable and it never was. However price is kinda wild with this one so even those tiny bits today can be worth something in the near future. I think this is the main reason anyone is willing to spend their time clicking out those tiny satoshis.
There is of course another side to all this micro earnings from faucets. Your wallet clutters with small transactions and multiple inputs, making your future bitcoin payments quite a bit more expensive. Better to use some disposable/online wallet for such activity, after a while sending in bulk seems like the only reasonable "workaround" of this problem.
I wonder when it will become absolutely unprofitable for faucet owners to run their sites, at what BTC price? There is a limit, take freebitco.in for example, 11st/h :-\ soon -> 10,9,8...1?

current transaction fees is one of those things that is killing faucets now, back then transaction fee used to  be 20k sats, which was not up to  30cent then! And minimum withdraw from faucets was around 20k sats 👆 upward,
I really missed those days!
My favorite faucet then was bitcoin alien 👽
Their androids game rock alot

I wouldn't trust faucet no more. I heard a lot of friends that didin't get paid , so why would I bother with something like this ? We must achieve coins with different approaches.

No, you can't make that kind of satoshi so quickly. Most of these faucets have fiat-pegged payouts, meaning that as the price of Bitcoin goes up the payouts go down.

There is one faucet that's paying interest on balances though, freebitco.in I think. PM me.

I think surfing faucet is very tiring. but actually from the faucet I know this bitcoin first.
because it is free so it creates a high interest from every one to learn deep this bitcoin.

Faucets is still a waste of time at the long run,pays small satochi,for me bounty still the way to go to earn real coin.

Well, if you were find it 3 years ago then the balance is still on your faucet account, now it's already make you rich even you find bitcoin just from faucet, like you have use freebitco.in 3 years ago then your balance is still not withdraw yet. But if you do faucet now it's useless because you only get not over than 300 satoshi every hour from 1 faucet web.

This captures it. It doesn't only happen with Bitcoin. All cryptos with increased value and price now don't give out much reward through faucets anymore. And this makes it all the more stressful claiming from faucets. It's a pure wadte of time and data.

In my opinion, it is not that worth it because it requires a lot of time. Not to mention that the profit or the amount of bitcoin or such as satoshi can barely pay the electricity you have consumed in the process.

Nope! I remember last year round I used to be at freebitco.in 300 500 satoshi's per roll slowly it went down and down and now what it's just 20 satoshi's who will even invest time in this. I finally quit freebitco.in and left it for good. It's really boring and not even profitable for any one to keep it going in such low earning coming from it these days. I feel only a fool will continue it.

I agree with the others. I find faucets sometimes fun to do (it is a form of relaxation for me), but it will only give low rewards.
You can avoid most transaction fees using microwallets such as faucethub.

No it is not profitable anymore actually. Most Bitcoin's faucets give very small reward nowadays because the price increased highly since few months ago. You have to work for several weeks to reach 0.001 btc or even less than this little amount.

Well in My view faucet is just a wastage of time .here is other free opportunity like you spend
your time to filling Airdrops form, apply on some signature bounties. And yes your thought is correct if we make thousands of satoshi so before so now have enough money at this high rate of bitcoin. but real is who knows the future .if we know the future we all doing only faucets before one year.

Dear forum member, what you think about faucet as is this a way to get free Bitcoins really ?

My honest answer is No.

Actually web users only think to get some sort of satoshi by performing activities on particular website, but user never know why these faucet owner paying. And answer is so simple he is doing his business.

Faucet is really waste of time, energy and money. Better-way spend more time, energy and money to understand what is Bitcoins ?

Faucets were never profitable, not now and not even two years back. Although we got more satoshi some two years back because bitcoin price was quite low at that time but the conversion rate to dollars was still so less that only people who don't had any skills will go after faucets and same is the case today.

If you have multiple bot networks who's going to Faucet and multiply, then there's quite a bit of money with BTC if it continues rising really nicely. So we will see with Bitcoin what happens. Faucets still arent bringing in that much manually

No. Now this is not a popular source of income. It is better to earn free bitcoins by participating in different bounty from iso. But there are a lot of naves in this sphere too. But this forum is able to help you in finding the most alternative option for earning.

Of caurse no...the faucets is a good way to scam people...personaly i wast some times in faucets but no results

You're so wrong it hurts me to read. Faucets were very profitable in the beginning when you compare the amount of coins you were able to get from them with today's prices.
There used to be faucets that paid out 5BTC ber person and some of those high paying ones were still around in 2013-14. You could have easily get 1USD per day from them and that 1 USD would now be worth $50 if you held the coins for more than 3 years.

Yes faucets has wasting your time to collect without results. Faucets is not profitable anymore these days because of btc price is expensive alreasy. It will take time to earn btc for that sites. If I were you focus on other things which makes you busy and earning.

I never collect the bitcoin from the faucets, because I'm entering in bitcoin for the guidance of friends, so they recommend me to buy bitcoin and then trade or invest. But after I studied bitcoin, I found an article that talked about "faucets", and until now even though there was a faucet that could produce 1mBTC in a week I still could not believe it was there. But if there is a faucet that can produce 1mBTC a week, maybe I will be interested

My experience in bitcoin faucet was not good, it was totally wasting your precious time and the electricity. You could only earned a few cents within an hour. You can only make more santoshi if you have a lot of referrals. It's not worth it anymore and better find something that worth your time.

Very true. Faucets are just a waste of time. Nothing will come out of it. Imagine getting a small amount of money while working for about 3months or so from faucets. That will just be overwhelmed by transaction fees for transfers. The one who runs it gets more value and that is why they keep running it. You'd better make your own than doing that if I were you. The more productive way is to invest your time here in the forum learning, investing, trading, and helping others for their campaign.

I think it is not very profitable since the bitcoin price rise up there are some faucet sites that requires a huge amount of sats to be withdrawn while they are just giving a little amount of satoshi,
Unlike when I first started earning bitcoin you could earn about 0.01 Bitcoin in just a week or a couple of days.

No, transaction fees are too high

Noobs talking about dust and transaction fees, really?You don't even know micro earning market... Check out micro wallets like FaucetHub. No transaction fees for faucet earnings. Ofc there are better ways than fauceting, however if you want to make money with faucets - refer other people to them. You won't earn much alone, trust me.

I guess there are definitely old threads addressing this same topic because faucets have been long ceased to be profitable and so i don',t know  why anybody will ask this question. There could be new ones but those are not going to pay you more than the existing ones. It's just not worth your time , rather invest your time and resources properly and you can earn well with bitcoin.

As OP says, some time ago it was possible to make 0.005 BTC weekly (without any effort) using faucets. On that time it wasn't much, but check now:

$19.475 x 0.005 = $97.37

You were earning almost $100 dollars weekly on that time, $400 monthly, it's a good amount of money in many third world countries... The purpose of using a faucet is to store the satoshis for years and then you will have some nice money saved. It's like a saving account, worth on long term and not to survive on the present paying bills, buying stuff, etc...

Now the rewards are lower, but in some years who knows... You might be earning $100 dollars weekly or more even these days.
It's upon to you, does it worth or not?

Of course visiting bitcoin faucets is not profitable at the moment & propably never will be again.

But - especially for people who are new to crypto coins - they have another purpose. In my opinion the advantages are:

- people learn how crypto coins work
- they see some action in their crypto wallets
- it can give you some quick success feeling, whe the first penny arrives in your wallet
- they learn about transaction times and fees

The most important thing people learn from clicking faucets is that sooner or later they will also experience scams, empty promises and not paying website operators without losing real money. As faucets are not really a good in terms of earnings, I'd recommend them for newbies for these reasons.

Also faucets in altcoins can still be a lucrative alternative.

Everyone is looking at these in short them, like Bitcoin was not growing anymore, yet they tell you that in the past it was profitable showing you many numbers etc... What if everyone will be doing this in future referring to today? Bitcoin is growing, after this huge rise that is currently happening, ubitcoin WILL fall, but that's not the end, there will be NEXT pump, ever bigger than this today! Remember my words kids and now go make some satoshis, which will be worth $1 each until 2040, and yeah, go now.   ::)

I don't agree that faucets are a waste of time - just don't expect to get rich. Yes, they are boring and repetitive but you are getting free money and they're a great way for beginners to get into cryptos.

It is still possible to make a few dollars a week from faucets by digging out the right ones. Also you can earn a considerable amount more by working on a referral network.

And who knows where the price of bitcoin is heading? $0 or $1million? Bill Gates seems to think the latter.

Like others have said already, using faucets isn't profitable but it used to be. If you agree with the predictions that say Bitcoin will be worth over 50 thousand USD in 2 or 3 years it might be worth it, although you can earn much more by mining new altcoins or buying and holding POS coins.

your answer does not matter.
The reality counts.
Faucets are used...much used...more used that all here si often is proposed.(sign campaign for not name it)
Do you think the market is idiotic?
The market is always right.
Faucets are definitively profitable and so much profitable that they keep up being sustainable.
No one can go against the market.

Nope, market is not always right. You want to know why? Because people, as a whole, are just stupid. Yeah, that's right, we are stupid in general as humankind. People are using faucets because they don't know or don't want to take the effort of REAL earning online. There is so many oppurunities, you can make marketing stuff, start own website, blog, which would give you really nice money, yet people choose to work on faucets for cents... Why? As I said before, because they are lazy and don't want to take the effort. And IT IS fine. Everything is alright, there must be faucet users so machine is working, right? :)

To those saying that what you mine from faucets now could be worth something in the future:

True, but be careful. The only faucet you can really trust to keep your money in is freebitco.in. All others you should withdraw the money after you reach a certain amount. But if you do that too often, the transaction fee on your wallet will go up and up and up. For example, I only withdrew from faucets a few times to my Exodus wallet, yet my transaction fee to withdraw any BTC is currently over $50. Meaning basically I can't use my BTC unless I want to lose a chunk of it to fees.

Now we can gamble and hope BTC fixes the transaction fee problem. Segwit 2x failed, but maybe a future idea will work. But maybe not.

So basically the only faucet I'd recommend right now is freebitco.in. And I'd suggest turning on 2FA and just leaving everything you make in there.

 In my own point of view, I think yes that the faucets from bitcoin are still profitable. In the first place faucets are free and there is no capital or investment needed for this.
It will be a big help of some other people since who are cannot afford to buy bitcoin. It requires much effort buts still it is free.

You can find the answer by yourself if its worth your time and your knowledge.

Apr 2013 = $103

3 years back 500 Reward. -> BTC price was $1000
2 Years back Upto 2000 Reward -> BTC price was $300-$400
1 Year back Upto 5000 Reward -> BTC price was $400

4 days back upto 30 reward -> BTC price was $18000

Price rise 1800% -> Reward Dropped 1666%

So i guess things are still same. Earning for claiming is still same. Yes 3 years back earning from faucet was limited to few sites , now there are plenty and same time Alternate coin faucets are also there.

Somehow it’s yes, because those websites and applications in smartphones who offers free faucets helps every people in the society who cannot afford to buy bitcoin, to have a opportunity to get free bitcoins.
It is quite small amount and time consuming but still it is free.

2 years ago it worked but things have changed now and we are looking at  bitcoin that is going 6 digits this yearso faucets can give their members 1 sats that is in decimal that has more than 10-15 zeros very soon.

Hi friends faucets rewards are less
can you all try this ptc site which gives 20k per day for viewing Ads? And few more features are there in site - you all should be active daily..
can I share the link of site (not referral - only site link)

Although I do not have proof, someone just withdrew 50,000 satoshi from Coins4Days a little less than a week ago. Claiming from faucets adds up over time, and some faucets require no effort to claim (ones that have SolveMedia and zero pop-ups), so why not?

The key to making money with faucets is active referrals. If you have 200 active referrals who claim 1,000 satoshi worth of bitcoin a week, that's 200,000 satoshi a week. A referral commission can be anywhere from 10-50%. We will take the middle road at 30%. So, your payout would be 60,000 satoshi a week. That's a little over a dollar a day.

Scale that number out. What happens when you have these many referrals? http://prntscr.com/hw4qjm It all adds up over time! You will not get thousands of referrals overnight.

I totally agree with this. Referrals can be a great way to earn bitcoin passively. As the OP says, it takes time but it is possible and it's nice to watch the satoshis add up this way.

sometimes it is profitable in surfing bitcoin from the different kind of faucet, because there has still a faucet that offer a free satoshi for you to earn bitcoin.
For now many of the faucet are not paying faucet and many of them are scam, they will only waste your time and get your bitcoin or satoshi for they to earn more and get a high profit in scamming,
but it is not good for everyone.
