I shorted Bitcoin and earned most Bitcoin in 2013 when the price fall from 1,000$, it was a crazy time.

i've made a program to get btc from faucets on autopilot and that helps a lot too ! :D

That's awesome, how many Bitcoin you earn from that program so far?

Used to make decent BTC trading altcoins from 2013 through to half way through 2014... that market has seriously dried up now but I'm waiting for it to recover.

I mined them until it has been possible and relatively cheap.
Right now I get only some satoshis from a defunct cloudmining service (pbmining still paying regularly... ::) ) then I buy some when I see good prices and I use a signature ad to add up some more.
I used to trade but this is not the right time, it requires so much time and energy to study the way too many patterns that are out there.
Oh, I also got some from translations.
One must be creative.


That's it.

The simpliest way in this forum is joining a signature campaign, you can check the list here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0
You only need an account with decent ranks (With no negative trust if you can)

Digital Goods? Hm, what about bitcointalk accounts reseller? People would pay for these. (Especially the newcomers who want joining a signature campaign, too)

I buy bitcoin and earn some on the side with signature campaigns. People should change their expectations of getting bitcoin for free. The best way of acquiring a sizable amount of bitcoin is to buy it with fiat.

I have many ways to get bitcoin :

I do the following to earn Bitcoin:

1) Signature Campaigns
2) Sell Mobile recharges for my friends locally for Bitcoin
3) Buy stuff on my credit card and sell them for Bitcoin (based on orders from my friends)
4) Invest in gambling sites (alt coins) and then sell my profits for Bitcoin
5) Gamble a bit and win some (also lose a bit sometimes)
6) Buy alt coins when they crash and sell for btc when they rise (risk involved). I end up holding for a long time though sometimes.
7) Do micro loans to friends and get paid back with interest
8 ) Buy some from the left over in my entertainment budget every month (Money that i can afford to lose)
9) Use BTC faucets and have recently started one of my own to help others

:)

Thank you. Well... to be honest i know none of those languages except HTML :).

I got this faucet setup for free and linked it to my faucetbox account. I deposit the funds in faucetbox and the API picks it up from there for the payouts. If you ever decide to get one, maybe we can share ad banners to promote our faucets lol!  ;D

I have literally launched the faucet yesterday. So i am not really looking at any earnings right now. My priority is to drive traffic to begin with. I created the faucet with the intention of spreading bitcoin to the masses, not with a motive of profit in mind.. however if some profit comes my way, i am not too averse at collecting it.  ;D

That's very nice of you , i think i'll look into programming some game/gambling sort of site but i gotta do some more research into it , i can't seem to be able to find some good references

I have yet to earn my first BTC.
I proposed a few clients to pay me in BTC, but they refused so far. I've bought the few BTC I have.

Yes, there's there are sig campaigns, but that only brings small change. No BTC.

i earn bitcoin from trading altcoin
and from signature campaign too, just to make a back up if i loss trading altcoin


Title: Re: How do you earn your bitcoins ?
Post by: Madness on March 18, 2015, 11:51:05 AM
I personally never gamble because it's high risk and also against my religion . I don't do trading aswell
So I only sell Digital goods (Steam games to be more specific) or I enroll in signature compaigns , works really well for me to be honest since I have a lot of free time those days without school .

A portion of my earning comes from advertising campaign from a few blogs that I own although indirectly the earnings are in fiat which I later use it to buy bitcoin. Currently in the process of negotiating with one of the customers whether the guy will directly pay me in bitcoin. The rest are mostly from signatures.

'Different signature campaigns' do you have many accounts i take it?

I earn bitcoin from trading and then selling profits locally for a higher price in cash then i buy again at a lower amount and start the process again, i also post for signature campaign and earn a little extra each couple of weeks.

In the near future i hope to do loans and help the community and maybe make a little on top :0)

At the beginning;

I bought 25+ when price was below 10 USD(Year 2012)
I mined with FPGA and earned about 20+.

Then;

I traded with altcoins and earned some also.
---------------------------------------------------

I lost about 20 BTC at exchanges mainly vircurex.
I lost about 20 BTC at stocks and their exchanges(for ex: AM1)
I have also lost about 15 BTC at cloud mining (ltcgear)

-------------------------------------------------------

Nowadays ;

Im mainly earning from altcoin trading and also fiat trading. (+ little amount from sig campaigns)

Post by: JaredStein on March 18, 2015, 04:46:25 PM
I think that the only real way to earn a  good amount of Bitcoin is to buy them with Fiat. Other ways like others have said are Sig campaigns, faucets, gambling (you can lose), etc. If you really want some Bitcoin I would just give up some of your own money.

Hey! Welcome to the community. If there is anything we can do to help you out, let me or pretty much anyone here know ;)

I earn my BTC usually by Freelancing, Signature campaigns, DevToMe and sometimes (when the price is right) buy them.

Cheers,

Mistercoin

Edit: Also, to state the obvious, trading.

Hi welcome to the forum. Most ways to gain bitcoin "for free" are a bit of a waste of time if you want to earn a decent amount. The best way is to spend a certain % of your income on it and convert to Bitcoin. For me the sig campaing is a little extra.

1. Mining BTC is no longer profitable if you are solo miner and have to buy energy without any discounts.
2. Mining altcoins is like hit and miss. Altcoins mining and then pump and dump scheme every time is just not good.
3. If you are not a tech person and just bitcoin enthusiast it something really hard to do.

For me , its not that hard to be honest since I'm a programmer , I basically enjoy programming on different freelance website , so what I do most of the time is asking my clients to pay me via bitcoin instead of the other payment methods (most of them accept since I have high feedback) but other decline and prefer to use the freelance website Milestone just in case .


Title: Re: How do you earn your bitcoins ?

I mainly earn only through Signature campaigns and also by selling my gift cards or mobile recharge coupons for bitcoins. Faucets are used sometimes but now I have stopped as I barely make 20 cents weekly.


Title: Re: How do you earn your bitcoins ?
Post by: Istaria on March 18, 2015, 08:44:44 PM
I'm very very new to this but so far:

1) I've bought a few quids worth - 59 euro to be precise
2) I've recently joined a sig campaign
3) Faucets, although I only go with the gambly ones that give me a teeny tiny chance of getting something significant once in a while (freebitco.in is mainly it, although I like luckybitfaucet too)
4) Gambling - lost my first 50 euro in a single drunken evening, but have played my 9 euro second purchase up to 1.3 bitcoin on swcpoker over the last few days :)

I'd like to find some more ways to earn it. I am a writer and about to release 6 chapters of my first book, so maybe I can find a way to offer that for Bitcoin as well as cash. And I might do a houseclear soon and sell the stuff I don't need for Bitcoin. We'll see.

1. It is very profitable for me. (I am very sure why people always say its not, obviously there are multi-million dollar datacenters doing just fine)
2. I just point them to a multipool and let it do the work (It just so I have scrypts to play with)
3. If I wasn't very good at it I would'n t offer it, so yes I am a super tech person (I can build you a MPLS network from the ground up using ethernet, DWDM, etc etc while browsing this forum and half asleep)

I get my bitcoin using the signature companies , also trading some apps I wrote for bitcoins.
Sometimes I use faucets but I don't get so much from faucets.
Also I forget that freelance and get paid with bitcoin is a good source of income
