Some thoughts about using free BTC faucets:
I love freebies as much as the next guy does,sometimes I myself sin and engage in this satoshi rage,clicking away
100 here 500 there ,375 look,wow whole 5000 must be my lucky day :)
But at the end of the day lets do some math and try to calculate how much an average Joe in vacuum can earn per hour
 (provided he has all pages preloaded or rotator with the best sites ready and gets no random jackpots)
From my humble experience,solving captchas is boring,thats if you do not use them as chinese cookies and live by the messages
similar to:Don't waste time or Drop table users.
But it pays.
But its boring.
One captcha solution takes at least 5 seconds,add that to page reload and wallet copy paste,tab,scrolling to payout button etc.
and its humanly impossible to do more than 5-6 captchas per minute.Lets set a more reliable 15 sec per captcha and 4 captchas per minute
target.Average faucet payout,let it be 500 satoshis for scientific purposes.
4 captchas per minute=500*4=2000 s per minute
2000*60=120.000 s per hour
120.000 s = 0.0012 BTC=0.26$ per hour
0.26$*8=2$ per working day if you do not believe in breaks or food intake or rest.
Hey,look on the bright side-you do not pay taxes from that!
I.e we can earn 0.25$ per hour solving captchas.Hurray.

SO,when you commit the captcha solving sin,just indulge and relax and do not try to
become a millionaire.That is all ;D

Thanks, but i'd rather work in mcdonalds.

have you ever heard of something "decaptcher"?

all you need to code a decent program and find most profitable faucets ;D

Let's say you've bought 1000 captcha credits for 1$ it cost you around 0,004 btc.
what did you pay for 1 captcha? 0,00000400 btc. (So 1 captcha is solved by computer program for 400 satoshi).
You need to find faucets that pay over 400 satoshis.

sadly, most program controlled captcha solvers fail to solve corectly, or atleast make 20% mistakes.
if u have de-captcha that works 100% correctly pls share with us (i dont need it for dumb faucets)

thanks

It's good thing i gave up on faucets long time ago
This is disappointing
I won't move my ass at all for mere 2$

i have never heard of "decaptcher" before. i did a little google search it looks interesting if it is true and have a decent chance of getting it right
do you know any that is good

I didn't try them before. If it works %80 correctly then choose 480+ satoshi giving faucets ;D

I don't know which one is good but some of people are using it.

What's a "Joe in vacuum"?

after such 'working day' you can go straight to the mental asylum..

80% is more than enough.

just try again if you fail

I was so obsessed with faucets when I first learned about bitcoin that I started coming up with crazy plans to rake as much as I could from it. The first idea I had was to convince a group of 5 or 6 of my friends to make wallets and spend every waking moment that they could visiting these faucets to dump all of their btc into my wallet at the end of the day. I wanted to form like a faucet collecting empire haha

heh its math or physics slang :)
when you solve a problem,or want to show an example
how some phenomenon occurs you take a spheric,static object in vacuum and calculate

Thanks man. I'm on Forbes' top 5 billionaires list thanks to your amazing guide.

for the empire like that you need more people that a couple of friends and after a while  you are going to be a drugbitlord or satoshiollinaire ;)

i have searched for captcha solver for a long time...
but never found one!!!
then captcha, every time you fail to resolve one, it reload with one more with highest difficulty...
and you can forget to resolve it!!!

so, faucet, are really waste of time for me!
