Bitcoin Forum

What are some new options we can use to get some of the people just stumbling into the world of BTC or people who have been out for a while and know they can't mine or afford to buy any equipment or outright by BTC to get a little piece of the coin?

Personally I've been struggling with ideas myself for a couple of weeks, ad sites are out because they pay out too little. I remember when bitvistor was paying out a good deal of coins for each website but that was well over a year or so ago. Faucets are becoming a thing of the past, people can't afford high speed asic's or outright buying coins.

Anybody have any new ideas?

Sig campaign to be honest, unless you want to buy some BTC which your trying to avoid.

Sig, and double it in one of good gambling sites  ;D

Primedice faucet and do good in gambling.

Some faucets that would actually be worth people's time would be nice.

Try offering services in marketplace that you are capable that is also in demand.

Try to partecipate in a signature campaign and earn some coin, no? :)

I voted for more gambling site , so the newbie can actually have some giveaway and use the bitcoin  ;D

Newbie? yes only faucet and primedice faucet.

referral programs from bitcoin gambling sites like bitbandit.eu

Easier said than done, 'doubling' isnt exactly easy when you play on a negative ev- gambling site..  :'( :'(

If you a "Faucetsucker" and you want to suck on the taps, go all in.

Get a decent amount of active "newbies" for referral income, from several paying faucets.  Let them do the work, and you count the coins.

That will get you some steady income from faucets. Keep them motivated, by putting down a decent amount of coins, for the referrals who is the most active. {Freebitco has such a option, to reward, your most active referrals.

Hard work at the start, then it goes better later.

Faucets aren't a good idea and are a waste. Signature campaigns are good but obviously not for newbs.

I would choose all the voting options, but still, they won't like bitcoin idea, they will their value and getting free money.

Shitty options you have there I must say, 2 times same option "I don't know", why is that?
But I will say "More signature campaigns".
Why? Because gambling is always risky and faucet mostly gives way too small amounts.

i am using a good gambling/faucnet site, but i can't post it here in signature with my referals, i have to raise some rep, or something ?

You must have 30 activity points.
Then you can add you link in to your signature.

You need 30 activity points, so it's just about time and posts and you will reach them, no worries.

Didn't I just say that?
Yes I did, but you still had to bump your post count...

Check out betmoose.com - anyone can host a bet for free and earn commissions from the pot. Trick is creating something interesting and finding a good amount of volume between 2 parties.

Ain't that the truth.

I'm just thinking of ideas of people just wandering into the world of bitcoin who don't have the money or whatever to invest in rigs and what not. Faucet sites are long gone, mining is pretty much dead unless you can put the capitol into it.

Amen brother.

You need a lot of capital to put into miners.

Faucets are still around it is just that they pay next to nothing.

The best way to get bitcoin is to sell your services in the marketplace (either on the forums or elsewhere)

While mining may not be profitable for many newbies, anybody with a desktop pc can do it.  This at least meets the criteria of "idea for a newbie to earn a little coin".  I mean, shoot, my daughter has a pc she doesn't use during the school day with a GT260 vid card on it that with cudaminer is lucky to get 40kH.  40!  That's crap.  But I let it run anyway and still get about 100 Dogecoin/day from multipool.us and since +100 Doge is more than I had the day before then I let it run.

Yeah, you may say the electricity cost isn't worth it and it's probably not.  But backing any new idea that could be worldchanging is rarely profitable in the early stages.

I don't trust gambling sites.  I suck at real life gambling when I can see everything on the table in front of me so the last thing I want to do is click a button on a website and hope the programming on the backend is set properly to mimic real life machines (which are only required by law to payout 75% of the time in Vegas).

I think we have reached the point where the BTC economy is too large and important that large holders feel they have to "give away" anything. Now it's just like $ -- need to offer stuff to sell, or run a business/offer a service.

If you're a good programmer who already knows something about integrating payment options, you can just pick up some jobs in the Services section and start earning some decent amount of Bitcoin in about a month. Otherwise, just do the Bitcoin version of a garage sale and sell some old stuff you don't need anymore.

Participate in one of those Newbie and Jr. campaigns. Go into it knowing you're going to get a crappy payscale, just a few cents.

Other than that, Bitcoin is pretty darn hard to get if you're not willing to make a stable business plan, rank up, or sell/buy things.

Similar to the gold rush of 1849 - it was never the miners that made out with the profit, it was the hoteliers, the retailers of mining equipment, and the convenience services (bath & extra).  If you really want to capitalize on crypto at this stage find something that fills a void and others would be willing to pay for.

join gambling sites that have good faucet :)))

An awesome comboo is a gambling site with a high paying faucet! Prime dice is a bit low to make gains from.

Write for devtome

Could you provide me with a link please? Im interested in making articles if im guessing correctly :D

devtome.com (http://www.devtome.com)

see the links in my signature as well. you'll need to go through a registration admin to get setup. not sure who they currently are but if you have any trouble figuring it out let me know and i'll get to the bottom of it for you.

Signature campaigns are really good for newbies. You get paid to post something on the forums with their signature. If you need a good and trusted signature campaign, check this out:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291387.0;topicseen

I have been paid several times by Stunna already.

Other than free bitcoin, if you're good at something (anything photoshop, graphic design etc) and don't mind doing some work you can earn some nice BTC.
Check out /r/jobs4bitcoins on Reddit

https://pay.reddit.com/r/Jobs4Bitcoins

Good luck!  :)

Newbies can't really join the PD sig program, but the good news is, they can join the 777coin one. :)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0

Even if you have a big budget, it is very difficult to break even in bitcoin mining.
Altcoin mining is slightly better, but still it is not easy to get profits.

signature campaign is the best way
i hope i can received some BTC too from this campaign ;D
something fishy here, you became member less than 1 month
how can you have been paid several times by stunna?  ;D
did you use multiple accounts there?

You could try to sell stuff locally for BTC on craigslist or the goods section on here. I've sold domains and simple websites that I made for BTC. Obviously though, you have to offer something of value to make BTC, and you usually have to spend either time or money to be able to make some money.

These are all good ideas to be honest, when I made the topic I was looking for ways to capitalize on getting some btc. I have some ideas now but it's going to take work for sure.

How about regular random giveaways?

Feel free to do so.
Oh, you don't want to because you would lose money?
Yeah, that's why there is no "regular random giveaways".

I hope there will be more altcoins with fair giveaways like ITC FAC etc.

So throw the first stone :)

If you are looking for BTC from faucet or ptc that pays BTC many referrals you need to get greater results and faster payout. You can put up a post on fb groups of BTC. it takes hard work.
but, if you are interested in trading you can follow the giveaway provided by new crypto. collect giveaway of all crypto, altcoin .. and you can exchange it with btc when their prices high. : D
hopefully can help you

You can gamble lots of BitCoins

777 Coin has opened a Newbie Campaign, that with faucets rotators mean something if oyu can double it in prime dice.

Free is Free.

Care to share link to that 777coins Newbie Campaign?
I know only that 0.0001BTC daily giveaway, but it is only for 30+ activity, I think.

Signature compaign + faucet rotator (coinev.com)

How much do you get from  a faucet rotator?

lol.I am owner and i also earn 5000 satoshis per day from coinev.com

Singature campaigns are definetly the best option.

You guys realize that making bitcoin is just the same as making fiat money? It's all about the time investment. I never understood why some people want to make coins only even if they could make more in fiat for the same amount of time invested, when they could just go to an exchange...

Because many newbies are afraid about exchange real money. I was like that there is still yesterday.

"Bitcoin is yellow and full of speculations" ;D

You are not able to "mine" Dollars.

for now ALT giveaway is the best way to earn BTC because if only use faucet for earn BTC it just wasting your time
last time i do some alt coin for vote it worth 500-3000 satoshi/vote/hour

Agree, beside sig campaign, mintpal votes giveaway is nice too. I was getting about 50k satoshi/vote for voting SC on mintpal.
Although right now the available giveaway is not as good as SC was, but is still worth to do :)
You can check those giveaway here

I'm going to hint at something in this thread but please don't spread it; follow us on /r/betmoose (reddit) - we will be doing a $3 for every user promo late next week. It's not much but it's free!

Signatures work if u are active around here

I have a few ideas that might have been mentioned allready:

1 sig campaign
2 freelancer services
3 refferal stuff in gambling sites
4 free faucet at gambling sites
5 creating and selling , a lot of people need little services if you are programmer or something

How do you earn from voting? can you briefly describe

There are small tasks that you can work on to earn some bitcoins over at bitcoinget.com. Examples of tasks include "Look up 3 keywords on search engines", "Provide signal strength measurement from your Android phone", and lots more. You can easily earn 0.01 BTC a day with your spare time.

Let me try to answer it.

So every coin want to get on an exchange, and some exchange are using vote system to choose the coin. This is it.

Coin developer are paying people to votes their coin on a specific exchange, usually mintal.
For example, HYPERcoin dev are opening this campaign, they are paying 7 Hypercoin per 1 votes on mintpal here http://coinzen.org/index.php/topic,913.new.html
We simply just votes hypercoin on mintpal, after that post the votes number and our hypercoin address on thread above. :)

Well that is worth if you know that coin price will raise and you sell it on right time. Generally are not worth your time.

Any idea how long it would take for me to earn 0.01 btc a day?

Not worth our time? Really? It takes no more than 10 seconds lol.
Even without price rise, some coins are offering more than 10k sats per votes.
For me, it is really worth my time :)

I earned the most of my bitcoins at Coinworker.

You have to put some time in it, but after some time, it can really become a good source for getting free bitcoins.  :)

really simplest is to buy on some exchanges (my sig example), you can pass on one pizza and buy 0.01 BTC!

I'm a newbie.  :D    I've been trying to search/find some of the free giveaways that are occasionally done for new coins.  For bitcoins, been doing faucets as I don't have enough activity yet to do the signatures.

You can't really consider buying bitcoin as a way to earn bitcoin, can you? :D

As a newbie, you can join the 777coin signature program. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=654009.0 :)

Well you can get a member status quite fast, no need to be a newbie and recieve lower payment.

The rates that they pay make it so it is almost not even worth it.

Once you achieve member status, a sig campaign is a must.

It's actually pretty easy to make a decent amount of coins.

Build your own website (blog) (you do not need skill for this, just look up how to build your own Wordpress website on Youtube)
Write about services that will give you Bitcoin for referring users.

Make sure your article adds value for the reader and some people will use your affiliate link which will make you money (bitcoins in this case)
You will need a lot of articles on your blog to get a decent amount of visitors, that requires some time.
Works the same as for fiat.

For the record, I am not talking about making a spammy website filled with nothing but affiliate links, also try to write some blog posts without any affiliate links.
And I guarantee you that except for basic writing skills, you do not need to have a technical background to get a blog up and running.
There are enough step by step tutorials out there!

Get to postin' and activying (not a word???)  ;D


Unfortunately while this is a good idea I am terrible at creating content for blogs, so I don't know exactly what I would write about. I've tried this a few times with google adsense and finding a niche and SEO and what not and it didn't work out that well for me. I guess I'm just not a born writer. Not to mention right now I don't have the time to really do any of the work in research and writing.

Yeah that's indeed the most difficult part, getting inspiration for good articles.
I usually write down every idea I come up with throughout the day and collect them all in a Google doc, then I start turning those ideas into articles.

But you seem to write pretty good, so maybe some freelance work is an option?
Keep an eye on the services section of the forum, though this has probably been mentioned already.

Well thanks for that compliment. I was thinking about it, I've had offers in the past to write for various blogs (comic, etc) and I turned them down because I didn't think I was good enough to write for them, but money is very tight and short so I don't really have any other options and it's about time for me to start thinking outside the box and come up with some ideas on how to make a disposable income until I get disability figured out. (long story)

Why? It is still better than faucets, isn't it?

That's something I have also struggled with, thinking I was not good enough to write for established websites and blogs.
But the only way to get any better is by getting more experience.

And I would really suggest you give blogging another go, alongside with any freelance work.
It's really a good way to earn some passive income.

I have also done some work through Fiverr and made some good money with that for quite a while, but the competition ordered some gigs from me and gave me a few bad ratings.
Fiverr wouldn't take those ratings down, even though I had proof.
I just abandoned that account after that happened.

It might be an option for you though, but do not become too attached to that account.

If you have IT-related skills consider posting something on a site like either coinality or similar.

Signature campaigns are a good way to earn a few satoshi's while getting to know the threads.

Auction threads if you have anything of value your wanting to sell for bitcoin.  All kinds of ways for you to earn some coins.

If you know how to code stuff or provide any type of services, you can post at the service section and see if people would hire your service, otherwise, if you know a lot about bitcoin and can post a lot of constructive stuff, join a signature campaign in a few weeks.

If you don't have any particular skills to offer, you can always sell stuff on the 'goods' section or on a market site like Cryptothrift.

I have a few goods I might look into selling, just a few random things here and there that i've picked up. I'm looking into getting things and learning how to do things "outside of the box" (not illegal) because right now I have no means of finding work, so I'm gonna try and earn a little money and make as much BTC as I can, buying it or whatever until I have some kind of backing and then we'll see what happens.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

If you put in significant time to "just post because I am getting paid" as a newbie then you will have difficulty spending time on the forums actually learning about bitcoin.

The easiest way is signatures, they pay a lot of realiable bitcoin and it is more profitable than faucets.

Also it encourages you to keep informed about bitcoin.

Another good option is investing in a company or starting your own company and accept bitcoin.

Don't forget about the annoying 360 seconds limit for people with <= 14 activity.
They should have "significant time" to check the forums, while they are waiting to make their posts. :P

It actually isn't good to have newbies in a signature campaign. Most of them do not have much knowledge about bitcoin and cannot give an accurate answer. It can create spams in the forum, not saying all of the newbies as some have a good knowledge of bitcoin.

Exactly.
Newbies would just get frustrated after spending an hour on faucets and making a few cents.
On the other hand, newbies can make reasonable amount of bitcoin with sig programs.

I would just like to say thanks to all the people who posted some ideas. ty

I would just like to say thanks to all the people who posted some ideas. ty

can you explain more detail about signatures?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0

Check that thread for info about signature ad campaigns.

you can earn bitcoin by put their advertisement in your signature space
that advertisement will show every time you post in this forum
before that you must join signature campaign, most of all need member level as minimum requirements. but you can find signature campaign who accept newbie, just click link at shorena's post above
there's two popular types of signature campaign :
pay per post - you earn bitcoin based how many constructive posts that you made in periode of time (usually weekly, monthly)
pay per fixed amount - you earn bitcoin based on their offer in period of time, with minimal posts must reach. (for example : 0.05 BTC / month, minimum 50 posts made)
For full list of signature campaigns you can check it here:
Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0)

Signature campaigns are a great way to earn some bitcoin while posting and learning more about bitcoin and bitcoin related news

Looking for some ideas here as well. Sig ads look like a legit option for more senior members.

do mintpal voting
in example - http://coinzen.org/index.php/topic,913.0.html
they pay you around 35k-40k satoshi / vote (in hyper, not bitcoin)
it's almost equal payment for one post in PD signature campaign

Every post that you post will contain something below your post, your "signature" you are able to change your signature whenever you want and when changed your new signature will be displayed on your prior and future posts (until you change your signature again)

When I started here, there were no signature campaign for "newbies" and it was pretty hard to make coins. I sucked on the faucets and waited to become a member to be able to participate in them.

The waiting paid off, atleast now I am earning something, here. Newbies should make coins more easily now, with atleast 2 signature campaigns helping them on their feet.

If you have something to sell at home, example Books. {Go to a local book exchange, and sell them for fiat, and buy BTC with it} Or sell them online at the market place. 

yeah that's very good someone make signature campaign for newbie and jr.member ;D
like opened new market for newbie and jr.member
but i'm little curious why you still choose your current signature campaign instead PD, that pay your 4x more than your current signature campaign. why?

Faucets used to be decent about a year and a half ago...now it's all gone to crap, even though people made so much on their btc, seems like they are skimping even more now that they are rich

There are some gambling sites where you can roll for free and earn some coins.But its very little money,not worth it if you ask me.I used to roll at freebitco.in for some time but I dont go there now.

IMO Joining a campaign is best thing for newbies to earn some coins. They can also try to earn some coins from High paying faucets like bitcoinzebra , dailyfreebits etc. . .
Kindly,

Well you can get members status pretty fast, but yeah, until then newbie campaigns aren't bad, faucets aren't that worth, maybe just dailybitcoins, coinad or freebitco.in.

These types of sites are really just faucets that have a way to keep you at the site while you are waiting to get to claim your "free" coins again

Generally speaking, you won't get much from the free rolls in the gambling sites.
But there are some special events from time to time, such as the "happy hours" in PD and "crazy hours" Luckybit, in which you can earn significant amount. :)

Not sure about the faucets part, but I very much agree with the sig campaigns part.
You may not get much joining the sig campaign as a newbie, but you will get a lot more (eg. 0.05 for 50 posts in Luckybit, currently closed for enrollment) when you get the member rank. :)

I have never heard of "crazy hours" :o
Can I get some info about them from somewhere?

Freebitco.in can be good if you roll every hour and have some referals. Dailybitcoins payout low and slow but you can colect vouchers and sell them at peerbet, and coinad gives a little higher pay then the others.

This is the previous "crazy hour" on LB. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=597165.0
The chatters on the site get some huge "chat lotto" randomly, and the biggest prize is something like 0.12 btc IIRC. :D

Okay, I know chat lotto already, but never heard of crazy hours before, thanks for this info.

No problem, and just a friendly reminder, there will be a crazy hour soon.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=322158.msg7489118#msg7489118

Work like slaves??  ;D. Oh wait, I'm a newbie  :'(

Actually your "Brand new".
But yeah hard to do anything here before member lvl.

We only need to write some replies to become members. It doesn't seem very difficult.

Not very difficult when you have much time on your computer and doing post with no spamming.

Now you can do read here in bitcoin discussion and replies some posts try to gain more information about this then join signature campaign

To be honest it's extremely hard to "do good" in gambling, as the outcome is always random and the house has an edge. I've tried several systems, martingale to other forms of auto betting and never been able to make more than 0.000xx in profit from their faucet, and as that's their withdrawal limit I've always ended up blowing it. Perhaps there are some strategies that work better than others, but in the end it all comes down to luck.

Don't waste your time on faucets.
If youre one of those lucky bastards who always score at gambling so you know where you should go.  ;)

Sell the stuff you have that you were always too busy or too lazy to sell.  Take that money and move it to an exchange and learn to buy some coin on the exchange.  Or you could buy the coin from a trusted seller on the forums.  Chasing pennies from faucets is not financially worth it once you know how to use a wallet.

" Once you know how to use a wallet "

lol are you referring to the 0.0001 transaction fee? :D


Hahaha IMO you can only make some money on just few gambling games, poker is one of them.

Dice game, roulette, slots machine, i believe is not a good choice if you're looking to make profits from gambling. Eventually you'll lose all your money :D

The single best thing I ever did with crypto was sell some jewelry I had that I didn't care for.  Put it all into BTC - when BTC was $17.

It would take me 50 years of faucets to earn the money now.

I always hope I had bought some bitcoin in 2012 when I first joined the bitcoin community. :(

You not alone in this dream many thinking but we cannot do any thing about this need to do some better for future  :)

It is 0.0001 per KB.
They will be in shocked when they try to spend the dusts from faucets. :D

lol, reminded me at first time using wallet from faucets
it took 0.0012 BTC for fee, because i never use that address before to send BTC
too bad i think that was because i use bitcoin from unconfirmed transaction, make fee is more expensive  :P
