Bitcoin Forum

The title pretty much says it all, but to clarify, is there a faucet/giveaway that rewards with very little effort (Something like referrals are going to take a long time)?

If so, can you direct me to it? I'm still kind of new to the entire faucet/giveaway thing, and most of the sites seem shady to me.

Thanks.

Hi,

If you're new to Bitcoin, welcome :)
First of all, faucet sites are useless.
It will take you a few days to earn about 3 cents, and then you can't even withdraw because of the fees.

My advice is to join Reddit and introduce yourself, people will tip you. On my first post I got $5 dollars!

Thanks

The  faucet is just wasting your time.
It's so few you even can't finish a transaction.
The minimum transaction fee is 0.0001BTC, but the  faucet only give you less than 0.000001 one hour.
So you have to collect more than 100 times to pay the minimum transaction fee.

I think not.

if you find a giveaway, you can see here:

while you doing a giveaway task, you can earn btc here: http://www.coinlearn.org/

100 satoshis/h is not much.. theres a lot of faucets with 100 sats/minute rewards..and even more

Minipal payout is really easy to reach if you use sites like faucetbox

Giveaway is pretty good. But faucets are just waste of time you will not be paid equals to your time and efforts. Sĩ be away from faucets . yes you can participate in giveaways

There are some good ones, paying 600+ Satoshi per hour.

You will not know, if it's worth your while, if you had not tried it. Just do not expect to become rich, using faucets payouts alone.

Your best bet, is to build a referral network.  ;)

Faucets are just not worth it anymore, let them be..
Giveaways are fine for you as the one who gives away the coins pays the network fee.

Most of it are not reliable with some ended up not paying after you have hit the threshold payout level.
The best faucet for now is definitely https://freebitco.in/ but you might want to consider and ponder whether putting so much effort to timed your clicks to maximize the earnings is actually worth it.

Most people will likely tell you to avoid faucets and they're right. They're a waste of time. You'll likely be putting in hours of work for cents and that's if they even pay you as there are a lot of scams about. I'd look for alternatives to getting bitcoin to be honest.

You can try and gamble, there are some sites like Primedice, Coinichiwa etc who has free faucet and you can try to multiply that. I have seen people reach 0.02 from gambling with faucet only.

don't waste your time on faucet sites instead work for bitcoin by offering service.

I wouldn't reccomend that.

Gambling is risky.

You can lose your coins easily out of greed.

faucets are ok if you are new in this world and want to have some free BTC, is not a good start butr at least is better than nothing.

Irc is nto a bad idea, there is lot of alt coins who have a "tipbot" on his channels, so you can get some free alt coins too.

About gambling, i dont recomend it, maybe because i have always bad lucky :P as people sayd, never invest what you are not ready to loose ;)

I share the same opinion.
Long time wasted by cents

Lol don't you guys read the posts..??

Primedice offers FREE satoshis for you to gamble.. it's FREEEEEEE!  It's like a lottery ticket but you don't have to pay for it!!

You just enter a captcha, get free coins, and bet to get a chance of winning
If you loose that's not a problem because you got the coins for FREE!!

I honestly don't think that any faucet website out there worth it , they are all waste of time , the providers of faucet websites earn x100 of your earnings from Ads that they have on their websites and filling Captcha's (most of them ask you to disable Adblock)
If I were you  , I would just make some GFX services or programming services or whatever you are good at it to earn some BTC .

waste of time and effort, even the best one freebtcio, is useless, unless you run in a lucky streak

Wow, Most of you think faucets are a waste of time because you are trying to go to all of them and claim the coins...yes, that will take forever to get a good amount but there is a way to build a great income from the faucet sites. If you want my 100% free help to build a steady daily bitcoin income stream with faucets, then just PM me and ask for my help.

My method involves building referrals but I do it in a way that makes it easy for anyone to build a ton of referrals with a single link. I will help you all the way and I don't charge for my help.  ;)

I don't claim at faucets and I get paid about $2 a day (from faucets) and growing....I still get this daily, even if I don't come online!  8)

The thing is, faucets are a waste of time in the long run, but a decent way to gain a little bitcoins if you wanna start off.
You shouldn't just use one faucet and enter a captcha every hour, you should make a list of as many faucets as you can find and spend 5 or 10 minutes of your day clicking captchas. There are also REALLY good sites like moonbitcoin and landofbitcoin.
Instead of using faucets to earn money, you should make a faucet of your own or use some referral system. I'm really interesting on what the guy below me said though, if he doesn't charge it's worth talking to him ^^

Looks like the best way to go is signature campaign. Even for beginners.
You need to post 20+ posts, questions of some kind of helpful posts per week.
I got 0.0016 bitcoin for a little over 20 posts.
I was also trying different kind of faucets, many I just didn't have patience to wait my turn (say 60 minutes over and over again) to finally collect enough satoshi to cash out. Many I did make it to the cash out and with all faucets I didn't collect as much as with signature campaign.

Now you answer to yourself, what would be easier for you, post 20+ times a week here or working whole week on different kind of faucets...

I don't have link to where are listed all signature campaign and broken down per pay, but for newbies and junior members
is the best deal the one I have in my signature, check it out. (signature is bellow my post, bellow horizontal line)

I did read somewhere that from the very start, you have limited numbers of posts you can do per week and (check if this is true) you may want to wait week or two to get a little bit higher activity so you will not be restricted by number of posts you can post per week...

Most likely someone else will post link to signature campaign to you.

But for a starter read through the first post of this forum:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=899982.0

Ah, found the link to all signature campaigns:

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

First of all, thanks for the tips. Not just you, but everyone.
Previously, when I was just starting and didn't know anything, I was doing some (Ahem) CPU mining.... (Many regrets were made)

Next, which to which subreddit should I post for the introductions and possible "starting cash" (I don't expect any :P)

Im considering joining bitin.io's post campaign, so do I just paste the newbie code into my signature and begin posting? I'm in a little bit of a rush so I really don't have time to scour FAQ's ATM.

Thanks for the support so far.

If you want to join the bitin.io campaign, you need to:
1) Paste the signature code in your signature space
2) Paste the personal message ad in your personal message space
3) Make a reply in their thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=751056.0 to enroll in the campaign
4) Post according to the forum rules (eg. no spamming) and the campaign rules (eg. minimum 20 posts a week).

faucets will pay you so small amounts that it is not worth the effort. also the amount of dust that it gathers in your address will cause you problems later when you want to spend your hard earned BTC

I've visited/used already a lot of faucets, but it's a lot of work and takes a lot of time to get something. It's normal i think. But it's good to start. You get small amounts to begin and to know a little bit more. I've started this way.

Faucet is good when you want to start know about bitcoin but for long term use, they are wasted unless you grow your referr network

First satoshi you must earn on faucets. This is a classic.

faucets are prettt much useless now. With faucets you can only earn if you own them. Youre new, avoid faucets and satt informing here, build rank and join a sig campaign, thats the best way atm.

First of all they are just useless. Secondly their are much note reffs were needed to earn some cents. Why don't you use Sig campaign you will earn much more then that

Faucets can be considered a waste of time, because they pay you a very little of Bitcoin... but we gotta say most of them are reliable and pay regularly.

Many faucets pay instantly to your Faucetbox or Microwallet bitcoin
address, where you can quickly collect minimum payout. So, this faucets
100% reliable. Some faucets are proven by time.
Here is updated list of reliable faucets (http://intwork.atspace.cc/)
You may collect your first Satoshi on faucets to play games or bet on sports events, but no more.

Then, instead of faucets, try the Games & Rounds section here, check it everyday as something new pops up everyday with some reward and you may get free BTC for doing some very simple tasks like registering somewhere, or clicking some ads on a site, or anything similar.

Either I can't find the section or I'm just blind. Can you send me a link to the section?

Here the link for games and round if you not found

As for referrals, which one is the most profitable?

1.Is it one-time click or is it constantly have someone new click?

yes try to find some giveaway at there
if you sure you can active post
try to enroll signature campaign it can give you more than faucet :)

For referrals my is the best ;) - 100% from each!

http://bitcoin.freeiz.com/

Now not much, but soon i will increase earnings :)

so we have to spread our link reff
we must active and get more :)

Bitcoin faucet are not profitable at all

it is ok if you want to get some satoshis to learn to manage bitcoin wallet, but it does not worth your time if you want to get money

Are you enjoy playing poker. Even if you are not that good?
I'm not and I'm enjoying playing it here:

https://bitcasino.io/

This is not affiliate link or any benefit to me, I just like playing there.
You don't need to put into account any money.
Just register and then start playing freeroll tournaments. There are few every day.
You don't need to get very high to get some bitcoins. Of around 200-230 players, if you end around 100th place you get some coin.
Not much but hey, it is all free and you have fun playing it.

60-70% registered players don't show up. So mostly at start you just raise with any hand and everyone folds.
By the time there are only playing players left and by the time you need to start being careful how you play, you are already 'in the money'
So you will get at least something. I love it!
Now if you don't like to play poker, then pass it of course :-) (ups edited, here need to be smiley lol)

Yeah, I'm probably not going to go with the bitcoin faucets route for now.

http://www.btcfeed.net/tutorials/hidden-disease-crypto-faucets/

Give that a read

very reliable if you play a faucet over 100 per day  ;D

and usually when the price drops, faucet provide greater rewards than usual   ;)

100 times? Spent hours just playing with faucet? Why not clicking ads on PTCs? :D

This. And if you use something like this faucet rotator (http://faucets.cryptoplace.net), you can collect even faster. It will take you to the highest paying faucets first and rotates them so you don't have to keep visiting other sites or remembering when cooldowns end.

May I get an explanation on how faucet rotators work?

The best place to look is this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=927554). I did a full write-up of what it does, how it works, how it's organized, how to contribute, etc.

I found along time ago that the Bitcoin faucets lately have a lot of spam, flashy ads, and other junk.  Along with the fact that the pay out very little, and seem to not put much care into their pages i no longer use them.

Yes, very good summary. Every beginner should read this

no, it's not. it waste ur time and only give profits for the owner from ads.
but u can try it maybe for the first time.

may I ask you if http://bitcoinzebra.com and freebitco.in are making money or do all faucets lose money? thanks

Have a look at this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=919667.0

I can't answer on how much any faucets earn, but what I will say is that the vast majority of them lose money. Running a faucet isn't profitable on its own, it should be used as a marketing method for earning on other areas of a site. Basically it's a way of driving consistent legitimate traffic. With that said, there are a couple that used to pull in $10k+ a month in profit.

As always, there will be outliers.

You can make money with faucet, but only if you are owner ;)

first of all thanks for taking the time to answer :)
I didnt want to know how much they earn. I just wanted to know if  a faucet like freebitco.in with so much traffic is earning or losing money?
lets say I will have a faucet starting today and I will reach same traffic like freebitco.in will I make money? any answer is very much appreciated

This depends on the number of clicks. The important thing to understand with faucets is that they are seen as being a content-less site. Many faucets have been banned from AdSense. And even if you aren't, you can be banned when it's time to be paid. So generally speaking, I'd suggest relying on other ad networks.

You can definitely make some money from them with marketing and such, as long as you're getting ad clicks.

I wouldn't rely on them being super profitable, though, and look more for either a slight profit or a break-even. They are just too risky.

As a heads-up, though, if you start one up (or anyone else), feel free to toss me a PM and I can add it to the rotation (http://faucets.cryptoplace.net).

:) if I cant make any money with same traffic like freebitco.in it doesnt make sense to open a faucet IMO so I cant add my faucet that I will not do to your rotator :)
thanks

A site like freebitco.in is a bit different from most faucets (read: more profitable) because it has a game attached to it. This reduces the amount they pay out.

But again, it all depends on the clicks. If you designed a faucet that was really user friendly, as opposed to what we currently deal with which is just a page filled with ads, you'd have a greater chance of success. It's a business. Most faucet owners just don't know what they're doing.

if it depends on the clicks I dont see big chances for faucets to get clicks. and even they get clicks they arent worth a penny for the advertisers IMO. I could tell my visitors to click any ad they like before they get any satoshis, but this is not allowed.

I fully agree with you saying that most faucet owners just dont know what they are doing. I am a noob regarding faucets and coding but I have an idea and I know I will get tons of visitors but ifI cant earn a bit it doesnt make sense to create the faucet. I dont want to get rich with it, I just want to proof that my idea is working :)

you answers are very helpful and very much appreciated.

If you have an idea and it's unique, roll with it. Most business owners fail 90%+ of the time even when they have "the next biggest thing," so failure shouldn't be seen as an issue. Go for it. If it works it works. If it doesn't it doesn't. It's better to try and fail than to not try at all and never know what could have been, :).

to fail is not an issue for me. my issue is mre that I am new to the faucet thingy and maybe I will fail because I dont know how to monetize if tons of visitors are coming in.
can I ask you if it makes sense to add xapo? I saw some faucets did it?

The more options there are pay-wise, the more users you can cater to. So there's not a downside, only a possible benefit.

ok if I will jump into cold water = faucet I will let you know and you will tell me if you want to add it to your rotator.
thanks

you can even checkout out rotators or faucet lists.


I found http://coinga.in to be a good one.

some are some are not you just got to pick the best ones.

That's a lot of work when you can just visit ONE page at this rotator (http://faucets.cryptoplace.net) and not deal with going to multiple sites. Plus you don't have to watch cooldowns since it does it automatically. Plus it always takes you to the highest paying to lowest paying sites. The site you linked to increases the amount of work significantly, and for less gain.

I am currently trying Cryptoplace, but I might try some others.

And also, why is there a 3h cooldown for the faucet? I understand that all faucets only give bitcoin once in a while, but why 3?

Each faucet has their own timer. The ones on Cryptoplace range from fast to long and are updated as the faucet owners change their cooldowns. Looks like the fastest cooldown in the database at this point is 8m, and the longest is 24h.
