Bitcoin Forum

I enjoy them.  The extra BTC can help with transaction fees.  And every now and then I hit the right numbers to get higher tier BTC.  It's like gambling without the risk.  Admittedly, I only use one site.  The others don't seem quite as easy to cash out.

Could you please tell me which site exactly do you use? :)

Hello,
I'm new to BitCoins and I wanted to know if faucet pages are really worth the time?

Nope, they're not worth it.

Yes worth, if you have tons of active referals. And if you working all day on pc, you can do some extra bitcoins.

Facuets can be a lot of fun to get started with, e.g. you have some btc right away.  However, the amounts are so low now that you can't even really send them around.  The freebitco.in one seems to be the best, but pays out only once a week.  For "fun" btc I've found signature campaigns to be the best.

Good Luck!

i personally use landofbitcoin (https://www.landofbitcoin.com/?r=AKPxkfbH1pmSmGgI) while i fitness at home when i take 90 second rests in between.

Usually over the course of a training session i can fill in 70 faucets or more, and it lists the most profitable first.

I would otherwise just be wasting those minutes anyway, so why not get some money out of it?

http://freebitco.in/ (http://freebitco.in/?r=435072) is also a great one, probably the best

I'm curious, what kind of workouts do you do where your hands are free enough to go on faucets?

read correctly, in between workouts (90 second breaks)

all these breaks between workouts add up (several different muscle groups, 5 or 3 reps per muscle group, each time a short break in between)

3 times a week.

adds up pretty quickly, made several dollars with it already.

may i ask why?
cos i think it's worth a lot, especially to the ppl that don't want to invest some of their money.

Yes worth, if you have tons of active referals. And if you working all day on pc, you can do some extra bitcoins.

That may be a better use of your time: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=636079.0;topicseen (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=636079.0;topicseen)
It's a new signature campaign, aimed at newbies and junior members!

Hehe, I have mentioned it in my above post.
The main problem of this program is that it is promoting a ponzi (which usually is short-lived and ends with owner vanishing without a trace)

Yes worth, if you have tons of active referals. And if you working all day on pc, you can do some extra bitcoins.

Just out of reference - faucets are actually bad if you reuse the address with large inputs later on. If you don't have coin control in your client (only Qt has it) then you won't be able to specify which inputs are going into your transaction meaning that in all likelihood you may be choosing those dust inputs. The problem here is that dust inputs take up space without really adding to the value of the tx so you may have a crap ton of dust inputs meaning you get a nonstandard transaction that either requires a larger fee (usually more than all your dust combined) or you take a long time to get confirmations as some miners don't accept non standard txs.

Read this.


If you are determined to use a faucet then I would advise you have a single address with the sole purpose of getting faucet payments - that way you can combine them all into a single output if you get enough to be usable without compromising the other coins in your wallet.

Well, I kind of wish I had done more faucets back in 2010/11 considering the value now. I guess the only reason I say this is because if you're really sure that the value of bitcoin is going to go up 100x or some similar amount then you can start to possibly justify spending on free time on faucets and saving the results for the future.

If I knew bitcoin will worth $1000 in Dec 2013, I would work overnight and do a few part-time jobs (rather than playing with faucets) in 2010 and put all my money in bitcoin.
Sadly, I didn't know bitcoin until 2013. :(

Hello,
I'm new to BitCoins and I wanted to know if faucet pages are really worth the time?

We had a team testing out faucets, and found many that did not pay out. Freebitco have the referal route, and it pays out when other people under you "roll" so you get coins for doing nothing.

It sure is a way for you to get satoshi, but it's very little. You might affort a BicMac burger after a month of click..click..click..every hour..on..hour.

Rather find a paying signature program or try to render some sort of service.

This just makes using them an even bigger waste of time. Imagine putting in all that effort just for dust and not even getting paid out?

No, the average faucet gives you about .5 US cents. If the faucet takes you a minute to use, that's 30 cents an hour. Many companies are currently hiring that offer to pay in Bitcoins such as writing companies. There's also often posts on the forum for small tasks that can be done for Bitcoins, generally .0001 btc (6 US cents) or .001 (60 US cents).

I am currently working on an epic faucet - a collaboration with another user :)  Hush - it'll be pretty cool, and you might be able to make much more than the average, boring faucet ::)  Keep your eyes open ;)

It depends on how much bitcoin will be worth in the future.  Say you get 0.0001 BTC from a faucet, which is about 0.06 USD. Then if BTC will rise 100%, you'd have 6$ from the faucet. If that's worth your time depends completely on how much money you have  :)

I'm waiting for your faucet too, but we'll see if it could be better that sign campaigns.

Looks like you want to say "rise 100 times". ;D
When you are comparing faucets with other ways of earning bitcoin (such as sig program), the bitcoin price is irrelevant as both the payments are in btc.

I believe sig Campaigns better then these faucets because they are paying some good amount and faucets taking too much time for very small bounty

Of course, when you compare it to other ways of getting btc (sig advertising, services) it is a complete waste of time. I wasnt aware faucets have decreased their payment rate.

I wasted a lot of time on faucets, so no it's not worth your time. Find better ways to get them.

That's the problem, you used -a lot- of time on faucets. They're not around to provide a income.

Faucets are there to provide a income to the site owner (advertising revenue). ;)

I doubt they make enough to quit work. :)

I doubt they make enough to quit work. :)

Freebitco.in makes 0.1 or 0.2 BTC per day, if I am not mistaken. Errr now its 0.175 BTC per day.

As I mentioned in my above post, that is how much the site makes for just the bottom ad.
You can find a few more google ads on the page, and so the total ad revenue should be much much higher. :)

Hello,

You have to relies people are not giving away large amounts to get people rich.
correct me if i am wrong but arent most faucets relying on google ads and that kind of thing to generate money.
The idea is people have enough to play around with and send to friends, but not quite enough to buy anything.

would you give 1000000000000000 strangers on the internet a large sum of money lol ?

well, back in 2010 you would have given them a large amount of bitcoins, yes, but they weren't worth much at the time. just saying, bitcoins might be worth a lot more than they are now.

Totally. There were times when you could get .1 - .25 bitcoins per payout from faucets. Think about that -- $160 a pop at current rate? From a buy-and-hold perspective on bitcoin's value, what you reap from faucets now could be worth *a lot* more in the future.

I think you should spend in a few better faucets like faucet.bitcoinzebra.com, dailyfreebits.com, Bitchest.me, btcrock.biz etc... and with that join best PTC sites like BTClicks.com, Coinad.com, Click2dad.net etc...
You may get up to 0.001BTC in a week. After you get some BTC buy Kh/s from scrypt.cc or just wait till the price of BTC get higher. I recommended scrypt.cc because it is better and cheap than other cloud mining providers.

Some faucets was giving away 1-2 bitcoin every 30 minute few years ago and people think that its a waste of time, same too now :)

Hello,

Wow, 1.03 BTC? How long did that take you to earn? If the answer is anything less than a year you should've known it's a fraud.

By that logic they still wouldn't be worthwhile. If you expect the price to go up a lot you're better off earning some real bitcoins, or buying them. Even if 250 satoshi increase their value 100x it's hardly any money.

I have discovered Bitcoin (and cryptocurrencies in general) at the beginning of this year. A friend told me about it. At first I've tried all kind of faucets, but, I clould not stand to keep doing the same thing again and again, just to receive a few USD cents. Then I've decided to simply buy BTC, and it was really worth it.

Did you try any -earn- sites? It's not much but far more than faucets.

Hello,

Considering most are only giving a few satoshi at a time it's not worth it considering you'll never be able to spend the dust online (you would have to swap it offline with current fee rates).

+1.
Not only the payment from faucets is very low, you would fill your wallet with dust inputs and that will cost you a lot in future payments.

Only if you find a new one and happen to be one of the first to send out your referal to others.

Other than that I wouldn't say so.

Hello,

if you wanted faucet why not invest some real $ and invest the bitcoin into some other casino ?

The ROI are so much better than getting faucet .

No.

Many faucet users don't realize they can spend their time on some other more productive things. They simply get too excited for FREE bitcoin.

Alot do thou after spending a few hours entering the recaptha and realise you made 10p. Only real winner is the popular faucet owner, everyone else is just wasting their time.

I agree with you check this how much faucet owners gaining profit from them http://adbit.co/?a=Advertise

For me, no.

It's only a way to earn one or two dollars, if you are in a need.

By the time you make even one or two dollars, then you'd lose most of it in fees trying to get back to dollar.

They are just for time pass or to kill your time. :D

There are much better ways to kill time IMO. I agree with the person above -- faucets are for the truly broke people with no way of buying BTC, to hold for when BTC is valued much higher than now.

There are FAR better ways to kill time. It just depends on what it is you're doing.

Faucets are literally for the first adrenaline rush of getting some BTC, other than that, it's pretty much not worth your time.

Now if you get a faucet with a really high payout, it might be worth some time. But other than that, not really.

I can't see myself making more than a cent or two a month via faucets.

I agree with you check this how much faucet owners gaining profit from them http://adbit.co/?a=Advertise

I am surprised to see so many people are using the faucets daily, as the freebitco.in ad got over 100000 daily views.

i earned 0.006 btc from different faucets..
but after that i became sick of them...
They are fucking irritating.  :-[ 

From what I've read they sound like a waste of time, better off scamming or selling drugs

Hell naw, it's a lot less hassle signing up for sig campaigns etc. If you've got any skills to pay the bills, you could offer them in the 'Services' section of the forum.

Now many campaigns have good pay outs for Newbies and Jr Members so you can join and take advantage of this

I got some faucet payouts in 2013 that added up to over .2 BTC .... I'm glad now that I have them. HODLING!

Hello,
I'm new to BitCoins and I wanted to know if faucet pages are really worth the time?

I was collectiong btc from faucets for a good month and got about 0.002BTC so I wouldnt recomend you but maybe coinad or freebitco.in the rest are useless. Also dailybitcoisn if you have a blog or website. Better get member status here and go to services. That's all I have to say. Good Luck! :D

That's it? There's gotta be better ways to grind out some bitcoins..... :'(

That's it? There's gotta be better ways to grind out some bitcoins..... :'(

I think that .0002 BTC is a lot to make off of faucets over a month, he must have had a lot of time on his hands.

Faucets will pay you much less then what you could earn in a 3rd world country.

Hi, this is my second day in bitcointalk, and 4th day knowing about bitcoin, and i waste my two days for faucet , luckly.. only two days, after i seriously counted, it really dont worth the time, only for fun

You should try doing a signature campaign like i do, you can get some money from it just by posting in this forum. If you are Hero Member , you can make that money really fast, maybe even 0.5 btc per month or more. If you have time go read thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291387.0;topicseen


Faucets don't work well since most of the sites offer faucets of max 5000 Satoshis, which is low enough that you can't make even 1$ per day.

I've never made much btc from faucets, only some dust here and there. Honestly don't think it's worth the hassle

IMO the only faucets that are worth something are freebitco.in and coinad, they give out some fair amount, but the rest are just dust...

if you will use this tool "coinev.com" every thing will be worthfull

But if you really have nothing to do, you could try and set a goal for collecting a small amount of BTC out of pure boredom. But they are more or less waste of your time, yeah.

To be honest, no.

I think that they are just time wasters. Unless, you want to make 1 or 2 dollars.

The payout is still the same, it is only a faucet rotator and you still have to solve the captchas yourself, just every single faucets at one site.

I used faucets for 2 days and figured out pretty damn quick it was going no where fast.
nothing is free :(

I am adding a function in which you don't need to paste bitcoin address in the faucets.It will be automatically pasted to all faucets

For those that do faucets: What is the average payout per faucet. And what do you generate in a day, or in a week? I'd be curious to know. Historically, any BTC you can get your hands on pays off pretty big.

+/- 300 Satoshi per hour on average, and even less it seems. 10 hours per day = 3000 Satoshi per faucet per day. 21 000 Satoshi per week. 84 000 per month.

If you do 10 faucets 10 times a day for a month = 840 000 Satoshi's per month. {At current price = +/- $5 US per month}

Well if the price of BTC doubled, the value of those Satoshi's would also have doubled, but it's still very little.

Hello,

to true mate.
and thats $1 or $2 after spending god knows how many hours of your time visitng the site.

I remember back in 2012 you could do a survey and get 0.5 bitcoins.. those were the days :(

I am still doing them from time to time :P i wouldnt say they are worth it but its something (as im online most of the time anyway, so a small click on 3-4 sites wont affect much)
Made about 90k doge and 0.02 btc in 2 weeks :) So its not too bad.

how much do you spent for faucet in hours everday?
0.02 BTC is not bad for faucet i think
maybe when you become member, you can easily get more than it if you join signature campaign ;D

0.02 btc in 2 weeks is actually better than i thought -- you've gotta be putting in a good amount of time, right? that seems worth it IF you can roll those BTC into bigger gains, by trading for instance.

0.02 btc in 2 weeks is actually better than i thought -- you've gotta be putting in a good amount of time, right? that seems worth it IF you can roll those BTC into bigger gains, by trading for instance.

.02 BTC is still only ~$12 with bitcoin @ $600. In order to earn this much, even if you only spent one hour per day on these sites you would only be making ~$0.85 per hour.

It would not be realistic to be able to earn .02 BTC over 14 hours regardless.

Exactly! Trading is the way to go. And you can start with 0.02btc ! I know the gains are also smaller, but one has to start somewhere, and even if i loose that 0.0x btc it wont matter much! Its the experience you gain from it that makes it all worthwhile in the end :)

+/- 300 Satoshi per hour on average, and even less it seems. 10 hours per day = 3000 Satoshi per faucet per day. 21 000 Satoshi per week. 84 000 per month.

Well if the price of BTC doubled, the value of those Satoshi's would also have doubled, but it's still very little.

Well, lets say a VPN and referral system works in my favor. I also ALWAYS play the "multiply your coin" game but i dont go too greedy.

I use a system that i like. When i reach for example 700+ Doge or roughly the same in bitcoin i start betting. I use 2 or 4 doge and roll "Under" with 4 and then if i win "Over" with 4. If i loose i simply duplicate the amount so if i loose "Under" with 4 i go "Over" with 8.
This way im always in the positive. The main thing is not to push your luck!! Doing it for 100 rolls or so is ok ;) depends on the day but i havent lost on faucet rolls with that system.
Ive also had some lucky rolls :) had a 30k satoshi roll today.

I know its not much, but if you are from a country where the average salary is really low, every bit helps. Besides im just discovering trading and different coins so i take it all as a learning experience!

The only faucets I recommend are www.luckycheckin.com and www.freebitco.in or you could also try the www.landofbitcoin.com faucet, it has a nice twist on it.

I wouldn't recommend any faucets. They really aren't worth the time.

Every person have his own choice you cannot say that these have no worth some members taking good benefit from them and enjoying and some don't like them

I dont have any ref's but I have been using LTC4U since March, not everyday I am spinning the Numbers but quite often, the 2 micoLTC it gives u means nothing really, I did win in the Raffle once which gave me aroundd 2000 microLTC, however I just done my first withdraw and it converts to the value of 1p GBP, WOW was it worth it... NO!

Although LTC is hitting rock bottom, I do like the design of the site, very slick but payout is terrible.

I don't know how you guys do it! Spending hours for the tiniest payouts. I'd put a minimal investment in at least and try your hand at trading, if you want to build up your BTC stash.

Yes! Trade! This is the most prominent thing you can do to make some BTC! That or do a large amount of work, but hey, trading's less work than working.

It actually doesn't really matter what you trade, be it cloud mining, alt coins, or whatever other thing you can find to trade your BTC with. It all depends on your preference.

On the topic of trading, though, it seems like a lot of alts are decreasing in price steadily, so I'd be careful if you decide to go down that path. (I'd also like people's opinions on why they are decreasing, but don't LoJack the thread).

I haven't tried out any stock exchanges, being that my country requires paperwork for investing in companies (And I'm not going to push these laws), but you could go and check out what they do.

Pro tip for ANY trading or investing: MAKE SURE THE WEBSITE IS REPUTABLE! This is THE KEY for trading. If the site isn't reputable or doesn't have any reviews, don't trust it. Take your business somewhere else.

I hope that everything goes well otherwise!

faucets are a waste of time considering the minimum wage

I agree regarding alts. The way I see it, though, is that when bitcoin takes off on another bubble, alts will probably act like they did in November 2013 -- bottom out and look like they will die, and then rocket off and outperform bitcoin at the top of the bubble.

I did some faucets back in 2013. It was a waste of time then -- gotta be a colossal waste of time now. ::)

I can't remember what site it was but I used one that gave you money for listening to the radio and filling in a captcha every so often. Listened to it half a day once and still barely got anything lol. Lesson learned.

Hello,
I'm new to BitCoins and I wanted to know if faucet pages are really worth the time?

Now if only http://freebitco.in paid out

are they not paying some people out for some reason? i still get occasional payouts from my referral link, but never really pay attention, because it's pretty small amounts. usually a bit more than .0001.

I would like to make my own faucet. Anyone know how much can I earn?  ???

You could try renting your signature here on the forum.

Not from my experience, half of the faucets I tried didn't even pay out  :'(

Think they are a waste of time.

I see you are newbie, just like me :P
I had bad experience with one signature campaign,
is that one u have good?
Can you please give me link?

This person is clearly a scammer and need a negative feedback from person who is scammed by him

voting contest? did you mean pay to vote in mintpal?
pay in alt coin right?
did you have links/thread talk about it? i find this is interesting ;D

you can find more alt giveaway on altcoingiveaways.com some giveaway more profitable than faucet i think but the problem coin from giveaway will be drop fast so this your choice hold it and wish coin can raise after giveaway finish or sell as soon as possible

Faucets, as me and others said, aren't worth the time spent on them, but if someone wants to try, in this wesite
there's a list of about 80 faucets with different time rewards (30 minutes to 1 time only):

http://btcfaucetlist.robertattfield.com/

I never tried them, just googled a bit so I don't know if they are reliable.

Faucets are fine when you're starting out with cryptocurrencies but you have to do the math.
How much are you making per hour? That's A.

How much could you earn doing something else? That's B.

If A > B (not likely) then by all means, keep doing it.
If A < B then do B. It pays better, you'll make the same amount of BTC in less time, so hey, free time! Warm up that console, go outside, whatever floats your boat. You earned it!

If B = 0 (that is, you can't think of anything else to do to make BTC), keep reading the forum. There's bound to be something else that gets you paid better than faucets.

TL;DR: usually, faucets are not worth the time, because their pay is very very little.

okay thanks, i checked out there and many pay per vote threads there ;D
just sell after get payment, too risky if hold coin with many people dump it everyday (voters)
but if that coin near listed in mintpal, i am sure hold it ;D

Faucets arent really worth it unless you take advantage of the referral or something else to give you an edge.

I rather be at some gambling site all day instead.

Even with referrals they're still not worth it.

Very few peoples enjoying with very good number of referrals and have some good amount of coins

Even with referrals they're still not worth it.

When you're new it can be a good practice.
but personally i would not waste time on faucets.

Using a Bitcoin faucet a year about may have been worth it now. Not anymore.

We may say the same thing a year from now though.

It really depends on you going to spend your time if you don't spend it on BitCoin faucets. I prefer my friend to do faucets then to play Dota 20 hours a day.

Does those 777coin even pay out ?

Tryed to pm to that member who owns that 777coin, no answer at all.

I agree.  I have over 1500 hours of DOTA playtime on my steam account.  If I had spent that time on faucets to click once per hour (easy to do). I would have had 0.01500000 BTC.  If I had spent those BTC on Blackcoin when they were 1000 satoshi each and sold them @ 90000 during the massive peak I would have 1.35000000 BTC.

Faucets are worth it if you save up and invest in trading on promising coins.  ;)

I would have had 0.01500000 BTC.  If I had spent those BTC on Blackcoin when they were 1000 satoshi each and sold them @ 90000 during the massive peak I would have 1.35000000 BTC.

Yes well if you walked outside of banks and supermarkets looking for change you could find $15 worth in 1 day (which is more than 0.015BTC) and if you put that into AAPL or Google stock in 2005 you would own more than 1.35BTC.

Can't live in the past.  Just alter future behavior.  How much is your time worth?

faucets are great for getting low amounts of bitcoins for starting new endervours like advertising for referral programs and what not. Just cause you start out small doesn't mean you can't make it big! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=669344.0 check out my topic on how to get 50 000 satoshis in a few minutes you can use this to buy ads on btc websites that will generate you more satoshis with little to no work!

Take a look into it it's all explained in the thread, i am promoting myself so I can earn more for myself and others.

Question is when do you become a non-newbie :)

not what I meant.... I understand that system but what I mean is when you start using online faucets and you start to get used to the ways of the cryptos and you doing okay but you keep going back to these sites for a few $0.01s and really just waste your time!.... but when do you say "enough is enough" and consider yourself to be a non-newbie in crypto and not need these sites

Yes its very big problem every person in start going to these sites and faucets and taking even some satoshies but after some time crying waste of time its not fair

they are a waste of time when you can get satoshi 50,000 at a time for free here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=670535.0  ;D

That is nothing more then a MLM program.

You can really only make money if you refer enough people.

the faucets are only worth if you got like 50 - 200 active refs or more

when you click on your own they arent worth anything

You shouldn't work on the faucet, but you need to tell everybody the faucet is great and ask them to register using your ref link.
How ironic is that lol :D

hahaha yeah :)))

but for some people the faucet is worth if they hit a big jackpot of around 0.3 or 0.03 btc:)

Wouldn't that be like hoping a $1000 falls into your lap?  It must be insanely unlikely a faucet would ever pay out more than $5.

hahaha yeah :)))

but for some people the faucet is worth if they hit a big jackpot of around 0.3 or 0.03 btc:)

yeah if they win the jackpot
hard to get jackpot, especially if probability to win it only around <1% :(
like to hit 10000 in freebitco, no one win it until now :P

winning the jackpot on freebitco is much less likely then 1%, it is closer to 1 in 10,000

winning the jackpot on freebitco is much less likely then 1%, it is closer to 1 in 10,000

Yes, because that is what is feasible to pay out. You gotta remember though that there is no other faucet or free bitcoin websites (that I know of) which gives you the chance to even win that much and that too using a provably fair system.

on average a faucet will payout something less each time you visit then what the advertisers are paying them for having their ads on their site.

winning the jackpot on freebitco is much less likely then 1%, it is closer to 1 in 10,000

hmmm so that probability to get "10000" should be just 0.005%. :P

not 0.01 %?

Check https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319540.msg7595577#msg7595577.
The owner (wetsuit) confirmed that the chance is 1/20000.

Wouldn't that be like hoping a $1000 falls into your lap?  It must be insanely unlikely a faucet would ever pay out more than $5.

The jackpot is just there as an incentive. If there was any chance that people would win it it would cost the owner too much to be profitable.

AFAIK, the number is generated with Sha512 and is provably fair.
And the chance does exist, though it is very very small at 0.005%. :D

not 0.01 %?

Hello,
I'm new to BitCoins and I wanted to know if faucet pages are really worth the time?

AFAIK, the number is generated with Sha512 and is provably fair.
And the chance does exist, though it is very very small at 0.005%. :D

The number may be provably fair but the chances of winning the jackpot are still very slim and essentially zero

We can say its more then under zero because no one have this from the start of this faucet

No, there is a chance of winning the jackpot. It is the same chance of having any other specific number hit. The chances are one in 10,000 to win the jackpot, you are allowed to play once per hour. So you will win the jackpot, on average once every 416 days if you played every hour and did not sleep.

I am sorry, it should be "rounded off" and not "rounded up". I shall correct this on the website. So any number below 0.5 will be rounded down to 0.

It is true that the chance to win the jackpot is 1/10000.
But since the number is obtained from "rounded off", both the chance to get 0 and 10000 are 1/20000.
The chance to hit all other numbers are the same as 1/10000.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319540.msg7575941#msg7575941

Regardless of if the chances are one in 10k or 1 in 20k, the chances of hitting the jackpot make it so unlikely that you will hit it that you are doing nothing more then wasting time on this or any other faucet.

That's how the site attract many users by saying "Sign up and win upto $200 in free Bitcoins every hour playing a simple game!" :D

Even though it says "upto" I would consider this to be misleading as there is not really a reasonable chance that this would happen.

I wonder how many of those freebitco.in users realize and understand how low the chance is.
The chance to hit "10000" in 1 roll = 0.005%
The chance to hit "10000" at least once in 100 rolls = 0.49876%
The chance to hit "10000" at least once in 10000 rolls = 39.3477%

Wait a few years, what you get will worth much more.

EDIT: I think your math might be off for your 10,000 rolls chances.

probably

but remember

if you did faucets in 2009 and kept the coins it would be worth it

if someone does faucets in 2014 and keeps them until 2019

will it be worth it? :)

At the start of Bitcoin people were giving away like 1 Bitcoin etc so imagine if Bitcoin did become worth something huge it could add up. but not much even if it did go up by a huge amount. its a waste of time now.

Maybe, but even in that scenario doing faucets for hundreds of hours would still be less profitable than buying 5$ worth of Bitcoins and holding until then :P

+1.
You are right when considering electricity costs but if the faucet pay out was 1BTC per dispense he may get a great profit. I don't know how much BTC faucet gave at the time. Now there is nothing we can do about it except dreaming, it is waste of time telling about past things, I suggest you to tell what we can do now.
IMO it is better to trade BTC like lynn_402 told. You can buy as little as $5 and can sell when the price increases, you can get upto $10 when you sell, if you are so lucky, you may get even more.

Kindly,
       MZ

If I understand the posts correctly, lynn_402 was actually suggesting people to buy and hold bitcoin for a long period of time, instead of trading lol. :D

I wouldn't recommend faucets to anyone except to the people who wants to build a website with that.

of course it's not worth of your time, and electricity you pay..

I personally would not recommend faucets myself because for the amount that you make it is really not worth it and you are more than likely going to end up paying way more in electricity than you make from the faucets.

for me freebitco.in, coinad and bitvisitor are nice sites. but they will cost a lot of free time

Faucets are a good way to learn about bitcoin or to do while you wait for a bus/train  :)

Faucets is not worth of time, but very good way to learn the about Bitcoin.
You do not need to spend your money and you can understand how Bitcoin payment process work.

No, faucets aren't worth the time in my opinion. People have already calculated how much you can make theoretically by using the faucets non stop for 8 hours or so, and come up with a measly couple of USD. Totally not worth the time. Way below minimum wage!

nope they arent

But primedice faucets is currently worthing I just take 500 satoshi and convert them in 50000 without any problem  ;D

As Primedice3 opening days are coming to a close the faucet is soon going to be decreased a bit. It is currently giving out over 3 BTC a day which is a lot higher than we expected. This is mainly due to abuse.

I wonder how much stunna is planning to lower down his faucet..

Last version of PD was 250 Satoshi standart or 10k Happy Hour.

Wondering what people do to find a way to get 3BTC from faucet.

Once took me quite a time to get little more than 1 mbtc from a happy hour.

I was hopping that the faucet is only reduced on lower level and maintain the same for high level.

What does it take to get the faucet on PD?  I never have done gambling yet.  If one was actually worth while I will give it a try.

3 BTC a day = 0.125 btc an hour = 3472 satoshi a second
So, there are something like 6 claims every second on the PD faucet...  :o

There are some who give satosi faucet freely, there is give every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, etc., are now depending on how often you can claim satosi given away for free by the faucet. the more you claim, the more satosi you can get, the more valuable the faucet

No faucets will make you rich but you can have some fun with trading dust on the exchanges.

They are useless now. Give out too little. Withdrawal limits too high. Altcoin faucets are much better.

Not really. Atleast bitcoins you KNOW has a value. Altcoins are 99% pump and dump shit schemes, you won't get anything.
Bitcoin faucets aren't there to give you more than a dollar a day, and it's no way to make an income.

You can sell altcoins.

Some time this fun give you big rewards as I have and bought some RDD on 4 and 6 Satoshis rate and as this RDD reach 35 I sell these and have some good amount

What is RDD?

First of all this can get you a fair amount of free bitcoins if you are patient, so don't expect to get rich of it, it's still free btc so let's grab as much as we can.

Second, we will be combining a few sites to max the profit.

-freebitco.in   ( freebitco.in )   this site can payout really high amount but you'll need to have a few referals in order to do so, but it's still one with the best and comfirmed payouts


-dailybitcoins.org ( dailybitcoins.org ) This is one of my favorite btc sites. Request a payment every hour, try to unleast, to recieve a payment and a VOUCHER. Now, redeem those vouchers and you can later sell them at Peerbet.org (just type in hte chat @voucher and paste your voucher code) or you can advertise with those vouchers. It is good to combine freebitco.in with coinurl and then put that shortened link, so you also get btc when someone views your ad
 

-Coinurl.com ( Coinurl.com ) great site if you have your blog or a website or in a combination with dailybitcoins. Don't have anything else much to say about this


-CoinAd.com ( CoinAd.com ) My favorite site. Very simple PTC faucet with a fairly high payouts that you can earn in 2-3 days (payouts take some time). Strongly Recomend this one


-bitcrate.me and coinbox.me   ( bitcrate.me )  ( coinbox.me )  Best colection of faucets, you can hit the minimum withdraw within a few hours and payouts are farely fast, every 6 hours I think. I also STRONGLY recomend these two

Yeah but for next to nothing. And as soon as they obtain a substantial
value the creators pump out their pre mined coins to make a profit.

Some time this fun give you big rewards as I have and bought some RDD on 4 and 6 Satoshis rate and as this RDD reach 35 I sell these and have some good amount

They were really really worth the time, years ago.  :'(

The best faucet I have tried was the one inside of Win88 website, it gives 2500 satoshi every minute.
