A faucet gives you a minimal amount of Bitcoins for free. Think of it a as promotion, to get people interested.

If course you can sell them. They are no different than any other coins.

Unless it's a 'testnet' faucet, that is for development purposes only. Care to share which site you are talking about specifically?

Seriously, you'll just waste your time and effort. You will barely get dust for lots of hard work.

Faucets are sites that you can get a tiny amount of bitcoin by just entering a captcha.
People suggested you to stay away from faucets because you will just waste your precious time for getting a few cents.

Faucets give you tiny amounts of BTC in exchange that you view some advertisements or solve some captchas. They really don't give you a lot and you mostly just waste your time there. Faucets are only interesting for people who want to get to know bitcoin and make their first steps.

Faucets were used in the older days to introduce people to BTC. Now they are mostly used by people with too much time on their hand, collecting BTC from 100s of faucet sites ;)

I rember when BTC faucets gave upto 1 BTC!

I find bitcoins a great way to earn free bitcoins. It requires very little work and you can get a decent amount. I find it a lot better than mining, at least for me. I don't have the funds to buy a mining rig(s), plus with the difficulty these days, its getting tougher to mine bitcoins.

I used faucets to collect bitcoins then I will use them on sports betting and/or casino gambling. They are free, so I don't feel bad if I lose them  ;D

Faucets are a nice and easy way to get used to Bitcoins and how the basics works.

You gotta create a wallet, copy and paste your address on faucets sites, enter captcha and get a few satoshis for free
don't see it as a main income or even a profitable way to get Bitcoins, but a free way to learn about bitcoin transactions, and basics.

You will earn small amount on those sites, and then transfer those bitcoins to your wallet and do whatever you want with em.

Faucets are a way to pay the transaction fees but not much more than that. I get more from Anonymous Ads (http://a-ads.com?partner=33706) (create banner ad boxes that pay in Bitcoin for your website), not that it's all that much, and at least I don't have to solve the CAPTCHAs to do it.

Another alternative to a-ads is adbit.co.

OP: Faucets are often a waste of time unless you have farms solving captchas for you. Even then you'll be making a few mbtc's a day.

It still gives 1 BTC per week to some people with 1000s of refferals.  ^Smile^
Unfortunately, I am not one of them, and I live from the bread crumbs, falling from the table. ^Haha^

I recently experimented in creating my own website to promote ref's and it failed miserably. ^Cry^

Bitcoin faucets are sites where you can earn a small amount of satoshis usually with a set time between claiming your award. You normally need to collect around ~0.00006000BTC before being able to withdraw them to your bitcoin account. Most faucets seem to use Microwallet.org for handling these transactions, I found it easiest and quickest to visit those faucets and than microwallet will payout after you reach their minimum payout.

Try this faucet rotator (http://faucets.co.nf) has a huge amount of bitcoin faucets added.

Post by: gogxmagog on November 14, 2014, 08:48:49 PM
a faucet sends you a few satoshis for doing a simple "human" task (watch short video, solve captcha, solve easy problem/answer question)
they are primarily used for advertizing and directing net traffic. most give out tiny amounts to a wallet they control until you reach the minimum withdrawl amount...this can take a very long time to reach. Also I have heard that some send dust transactions with no fee so you may never actually get your satoshis.

Faucets are a novelty and a gimmick. If you put the time spent on faucets into some legit method of earning you would do a lot better.

faucets is a website that provides free satosi to its visitors, by entering some capatcha as proof that we are human, these faucets can give satosi regularly, there are 15 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours even one day, the more we visit the faucet, the more bitcoin that we can gather ...  ::)

Bitcoin faucets are website that give you free Bitcoins but there’s no way to get rich easily on them.
At starts they used to give a lot but the price was low but now filling those captchas is just a waste of time.

And what does a 'visit' entail exactly? Regardless, 2000 satoshis is still worthless. Better spend your time on a sig campaign here to be honest.

Sadly newbs will only learn this the hard way. I always tell them they'#re wasting their time and they never listen.

free peanuts for which you pay with your time ;)

I think I'd actually be prefer to be paid in peanuts. I like peanuts. Pistachio's are my favourite  :D.

I don't think they are the same thing. Peanuts =/= pistachios.

They're both planted in Turkey and we call both of them as "fıstık" (nut)
but of course they have different name;
peanut is called "yer fıstığı" which grows under earth (yer).
pistachio is called "antep fıstığı" which grows in the city called Antep (actually Gaziantep).
pistachio is also being growth in Syria, Damascus (we call it Şam) also it's called "şam fıstığı" sometimes.
