Title: Ive Been using faucets for weeks and im yet to receive a single Satoshi...Why? Post by: Venom181 on February 02, 2014, 10:41:45 AM Can anyone help with this? Im new to BTC and after talking about it with a guy at work i decided to give it a go. I won't put any real money into it until i see for myself if its worth my time. He told me about the faucets and also about how they pay out peanuts for youre time but i thought i would start there and see what happens. I've been using Land of Bitcoin Faucets and extras for 3+ weeks. Every day i do around 20 faucets. (I know this isnt alot but im still sceptical about BTC) So far the biggest single payout i received was 1,750 Satoshi which i was amazed at....now im just Pi**ed off immensely. I only have one wallet and one ID on my laptop. My Bitcoin wallet has been catching up and on Thursday it finally fully caught up....and my wallet is still empty.
Why? Title: Re: Ive Been using faucets for weeks and im yet to receive a single Satoshi...Why? Post by: franky1 on February 02, 2014, 10:44:35 AM faucets are suppose to be treated like donations for the poor. basically to get people started.
they are not meant to be treated as a regular income, so i think your problem is that you keep pushing your luck on the same faucets. secondly, you need to research satoshi dust limit... you will find that most websites offering multiple faucet access, clump all donations into one lump and pay out above the satoshi dust limit of over 5000 satoshis. if only people were not so greedy to try using faucets as a regular income. then these faucets would give out one time donations of above the satoshi dust limit. just like mining, the more you try to be greedy and grabbing as much as you can, the harder it gets.

Title: Re: Ive Been using faucets for weeks and im yet to receive a single Satoshi...Why? Post by: notabot on February 02, 2014, 11:04:51 AM Faucets are not worth your time. The payout from one could be under the minimum transaction size - i.e. - if the fee costs more to send than the faucet gives. A bigger issue with faucets is that an outgoing transaction from your wallet could be composed of multiple miniscule dust amounts, which could cause your transaction to become larger in size, and possibly costing you more in fees than you have collected from the faucets.
Faucets are good for beginners, assuming something comes from it, and they are good for promotion, especially for altcoins. But you would probably be better off just buying $50 or $100 of bitcoin on an exchange or localbitcoins.com and having the satisfaction of knowing that you are invested in bitcoin to some amount, and that you know how to negotiate the buy and sell system. Then you will be better informed to teach others. A lot of people started with $50 or $100 investments... Title: Re: Ive Been using faucets for weeks and im yet to receive a single Satoshi...Why?

Title: Re: Ive Been using faucets for weeks and im yet to receive a single Satoshi...Why? Post by: Kluge on February 02, 2014, 12:18:27 PM No offense intended, but you must value your time extremely low or bitcoins very high to be using faucets. Why not just ask your co-worker for some?

He told me about the faucets and also about how they pay out peanuts Why? They pay less than peanuts. They pay peanut dust. Get a blockchain.info wallet for a starter and set up all the security features so you don't have to download the blockchain. If you want to get started with Bitcoin just buy a little bit off ebay first. Title: Re: Ive Been using faucets for weeks and im yet to receive a single Satoshi...Why? Post by: p0ns on February 02, 2014, 01:57:50 PM Hey :)
I think you may not be understanding the dynamics of faucets. They give a reeeeally tiny amount, but the least amount you can transact in the bitcoin network is 5430 satoshi (0.00005430 btc). You have to somehow collect all that before you get something transfered to your account. Besides that, most of em allow you to do it every hour or 30 minutes cause they really want you to check the website and keep doing it to get a reward. As for my personal experience I received my first satoshi after around half a day of checking around faucet lists and playing with most of em. The ones that worked well are the following: CoinBox.me, which has a list of a bunch of faucets that put your satoshi in a "coinbox" account, when you have more than 5430 satoshi you can redeem to your account instantly. http://www.vnbitcoin.org/freebitcoin.php They require a valid email address and after you verify it, you get 0.00003 BTC sent to your account. They send payments every few hours. freebitco.in this is a good faucet, you can roll the dice and get a reward every hour if i'm not wrong, and you can also play bets on your earned satoshi to multiply them. They pay out every monday, and you may not be included in a payout even if you have more than 5430 satoshi. Took me two weeks to get 6000 satoshi sent. There's a couple other I can't remember, just look around for faucet lists and be really disciplined if you want a reward, or leave an address to maybe get a tip? Cheers!

Post by: r3wt on February 02, 2014, 05:00:57 PM They take a few days to send payments as they are not high priority. yep, and without a fee many of the transactions will likely never make it into a block. Title: Re: Ive Been using faucets for weeks and im yet to receive a single Satoshi...Why? Post by: yatsey87 on February 02, 2014, 05:29:45 PM There was a faucet that you got 300 satoshis for filling out a captcha every so often whilst streaming radio stations. I listened to it all day and got 0.00014 lol. Lesson learned.

Usually you have to wait for a certain threshold to cash out and most often you have to request the cash out If I may : You can also rent your Signature like it was advised to you before (There is a list of websites that rent the signature here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=333916.0), you could also work for bitcoins (google it), book a hotel with pointshound (i dt have any relation to this website), sell something for bitcoins If you want to go the faucet route, the free lottery that was adviced to you is pretty good for a faucet : http://freebitco.in/?r=163799 (referral link) or freebitco.in (non referral link) Title: Re: Ive Been using faucets for weeks and im yet to receive a single Satoshi...Why? Post by: Portnoy on February 02, 2014, 08:03:44 PM If you watch the Free Bitcoin Sites thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=90718) you can stay updated on what sites are working and what ones may be down for various reasons. These sites are verified before being added to the list and are checked everyday by me and other followers of the thread. Being on this site there is the additional safety of the thread being watched by the moderators. By following the Free Bitcoin Sites thread one can read the frequent comments about the experiences others have had with these sites, making it easy - if one doesn't have a lot of time to devote to checking all the sites out - to determine which ones are worth a visit and which ones might be a waste of time. Many of these free BTC site's owners/operators follow the thread as well and will post themselves when there is something to report about their site. If one has an issue with any of these sites, or one wants to contact a particular sites owner/operator, one can ask in the thread to try and get an answer... with some of these sites this might be the only way of contact. Beware of copy-cat threads and web pages, who don't take care to check or maintain their listings and often have dubious sites/links ( sometimes hidden behind url-shortener links... i.e. you can't be sure what site you are actually going to when you click on their links. ) There are very many sites that have their own lists of free bitcoin sites, but many of them are scams and are more interested in helping themselves than in helping newbies to get started in the world of Bitcoin. The link to the Free Bitcoin Sites thread is in my sig.
