As many have said, you will make next to nothing mine bitcoin. It's not even worth it. Instead, what I would do in your position is use something like www.multipool.us - it'll mine the most profitable (usually scrypt for GPUs) coin and then convert it to btc for you, if that's what you wish.

AFAIK, multipool.us doesn't have the function for converting your altcoins balance to bitcoin automatically. If you want to do that auto-conversion, you can use CleverMining.

GPU mining has come and gone, you missed the boat.

You could mine some Alt's but it's hardly worth the effort. The FREE electricity is a bonus, but she/he still need to pay it.

Well good luck anyway......

Ps ..... This should be under the mining section of the forum.

As a Newb I could not post there yet.  Smiley  Just trying to get my post up and did not want it to be BS Smiley

You can post anywhere even when you are a newbie. Just wait for 360 seconds between your post, and you are good to go.

Choose Bitcoin Wallet Reviews . It is easy of use and high security.

Are you using google translate to create the post? It is working really bad, and TBH I can't understand your post at all...
There are some local forums for people speaking different languages. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php#5

Apart from getting your account banned, another problem is that you won't get many persons clicking the links for you. They will have no problem sending you their links, but will they click others' link every day? I believe very few will.

Some sites are switching from microwallet to faucetbox.com.

Many faucetbox sites that weren't already on the Free Bitcoin Sites list have been added. 
Just check each site in the list to see what method they use.

No need to sign up or give any personal information.  Just use the same bitcoin address for each site which uses faucetbox and it will accumulate until it reaches the minimum withdrawal balance...

You can check the faq here:
https://faucetbox.com/en/faq

Some sites are starting to use Xapo... A few use Coinbase...

And now faucet box is down as well, but the site owner is doing a much better job in communicating with its users than microwallet.

I know it's not much, but it takes zero effort.

Not sure if it will pay or not. Even if it will pay, the minimum withdrawal threshold is 15500 satoshi and you need to pay 10000 satoshi for fee.
So if you can get 2 satoshi a day, it will take 7750 days (over 21 years) for you to get a minimum cashout and receive 5500 satoshi. Tongue

This site is not working for me. Please don't market your websites unless they are ready to take some traffic.

OP's posts were made a year ago in November 2013, and the site was ready at that time except for some certain countries according to OP. Wink

i m also a new member here
so can anyone tell me if bitcoin core is ok?
i m looking for a desktop wallet and my first choice is bitcoin core

help me if there is a better suggestion

Bitcoin core is a great wallet. Its major pros IMO are the coin control function and that you don't need to trust any third party unlike using thin clients. The only downside is that you need to keep a copy of full blockchain data on your machine.

For comparison of different wallets, you can take a look at https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
109  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: blockchain.info on: November 11, 2014, 02:49:25 PM
electrum wallet........maybe it will help you. you try blockchain to download

Bitcoin-qt is the best for cold storage and blockchain.info for hot wallets electrum are for beginners.

Electrum is easy to use, but it is not only for beginners. It has a few benefits over bitcoin qt like the thin-client and deterministic feature. Electrum is pretty safe as well and offer 128bit entropy for the seed.

For cold storage, Armory and hardware wallet Trezor are great as well.
110  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Reliable blockchain explorers outside of Blockchain.info? on: November 11, 2014, 02:42:07 PM
I use btc.blockr.io and blocktrail.com mainly, and use biteasy.com and blockexplorer.com as backup. Smiley
111  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Interesting free BTC on: November 11, 2014, 02:40:07 PM
It shows "suspended due to overtraffic" to me, and redirects me to host.atwebpages.com which isn't loading either.
Anyway, there is no free lunch in the world. You either need to invest and risk some bitcoin to earn more, or you need to spend your time and efforts to earn some bitcoin.
112  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: The hacker stole my bitcoin on: November 11, 2014, 02:30:48 PM
The hacker stole my bitcoin two day ago,a small amount , less than 0.2BTC, I want to know how can I protect my  coins,if a large number of bitcoins  I know I use offline wallet, but a small amount of Bitcoins,I only set the password, but it seems not enough.

Since you haven't specified the wallet you used and how you lost your bitcoin, I can only give you some general suggestions.

Scan your computer for malware now.
Don't download or run suspicious program.
Don't click links in emails.
Enable 2FA if you are using a web wallet.

Well said, Danny. But it seems you have made a typo in the following sentence.

Furthermore, since you'll have to pay a 10000 BTC transaction fee for every 5 payments that you received from the faucet

No one can afford a 10000 btc tx fee. Fortunately, it is going to cost you just 10000 satoshi. Grin
114  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: freebitco.in - is it even worth it? on: November 11, 2014, 02:23:17 PM
The information I provided is on  http://freebitco.in

Click on Stats on the top menu and scroll down to TOP 10 AFFILIATES

It's there for all to see.  Wink

That is proof, if you work hard at it, you will receive passive income from faucets, and you do not even need to solve any captcha !!!

Well if you can get that many ref, yup the site could bring you a really nice amount of bitcoin.
The top referral has earned over 3 bitcoin, while the top 10 accounts are able to get over 12 bitcoin in total. Smiley

The referral system only works if the people you referred continue to use it tho, right? haha
Right!..

There even better affiliates @ http://freedoge.co.in

The first one has 35k refs!! for a total of 25,276,674.98 DOGE so that's about.. 5600$ !!




Making bank off el doge. Curious, how do people get that many refs tho?

They probably advertised their ref links in the very early stage when very few people had found the faucet. With some advertising banners on other popular faucets, they could get lots of refs in a short period of time.
115  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: freebitco.in - is it even worth it? on: November 11, 2014, 02:17:58 PM
Use freebitcoin only if you enjoy it. If it feels like work for you, dont use it anymore because not worth $ for your time

maybe paypal? ok?

What do you mean by that? The site freebitco.in is a bitcoin faucet that gives you tiny amount of bitcoin every hour for solving the captcha. It has nothing to do with paypal.
116  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Cloud Mining - Please help a newbie on: November 11, 2014, 02:07:11 PM
Cloud mining is a zero sum game.
You can't earn btc from using cloud mining. They only chance you can win is if you trade cloud mining shares in cex.io.

Simply not true, LTCgear.com breaks even in about 12/14 weeks...

Haters gonna hate... let them. Cloud mining is taking over...
Cloud mining looks like a scam, especially if you keep the company anonymous.
We are not trading guns or drugs here. If you want your company to be taken seriously don't hide.
   
Ironically, almost none of the cloud miners show any real proof. Moreover, pictures are no proof at all as those can be easily faked. But 2 reasons of not showing proof are acceptable...

1. Most countries dont have clear bitcoin law. So miners dont want to invite unnecessary problem by revealing their physical location.

2. Most large miners sell block to mixer services as those have a premium price. So, most of the time cloud miners's payment come from customer's fund, rather than generated blocks.

Well some cloud mining sites do have proofs of actual mining. Some have shown proofs of purchasing ASICs from manufacturers or partnering with manufacturers, but yup many of them don't show any proof of their hashrate. And that's why I do agree, as an investment, buying cloud mining hashrate is more risky than buying ASIC directly.

As others said, you could make multiple payouts in one single transaction.

Since the size of transaction is roughly calculated as
Code:
in*180 + out*34 + 10 plus or minus 'in'
from http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/1195/how-to-calculate-transaction-size-before-sending, you can fit 23 payouts in one transaction and pay the same 0.0001 fee if you use just 1 input.

the problem is i don't really know where to keep the paper then  Angry
would it be good to split it in 2 and keep 2 of them each? keep 2 matching halfs in 1 house (eg copy an article, write the btc key randomly somewhere in the middle and hide it in my study books?) and 2 other matching halfs in another house (in case there would be a fire or something). Would that be safe enough? Or is it better to just remind the private key and study +- 1 hour to remind it forever? But in case I would have an accident and come out of coma and don't remind anything at all i would have a problem  Undecided

To prevent coin loss due to burglary, you could encrypt your paper wallet. On bitaddress.org, you can tick the box "BIP38 Encrypt?" and enter a passphrase to encrypt your paper wallet.

To prevent coin loss due to fire, you could make multiple backups as you said, and store them in different places (your room, your backyard, your parents' house, bank safe box, etc).

To prevent coin loss for something related to your health conditions, you could teach your family members about bitcoin, tell them about your paper wallet location(s) and passphrase (if any). But then they could spend your bitcoin without your permission.

Seems you have had some bad luck.

Make sure to use multi-factor sites.  Treat your private key like gold.   Get it once on USB and Paper i suggest and put in safety deposit box or some very strong physical safe.

With earning more BTC comes risk only you can decide what is worth it for your personal investments.  I would say never invest more then you are willing to lose, that is my saying no matter what is invested in.     

Precisely.

Cloud mining, Gambling and all other means of investments are more likely to give negative returns.

Keep it safe on a paper wallet (bitaddress.org is good) and keep that paper safe. Don't gamble/waste any more on the hopes of something great.
ok, i'll use that
so just print out bitcoin address and private key? and send all btc to that address? and how do i use them in the future then? + how do i know that website doesnt know the private key and can steal them too?

You should save the html file on bitaddress.org, and run it on your machine without internet connection. You can print the paper wallet out and laminate the paper and put the paper in a safe place.

In the future when you want to spend your bitcoin, you just need to import the private key to any wallet (such as blockchain.info, electrum,  bitcoin core, etc) or sweep the key .

The average daily return rate for offering liquidity on bitfinex is 0.0222% (from https://www.bitfinex.com/pages/stats), and so you can expect to get about 8.4% return a year. IMO, that return isn't worth the risk, and I would rather store my bitcoin on my own wallet.

investing dollars there is worth the risk with 25% a year?

The USD rate is much higher, because most of the bitcoin people believe the BTC/USD price to go up.
So, while your USD balance may go up 25%, you may not be able to buy 25% more bitcoin 1 year later with your USD.

Is it worth the risk? IMHO, nope. But you should make your own decision. Smiley
