it is just spamming a scam
you can think of 0.0001BTC as a fee payment which you can use later when you want to spend your bitcoin

people who run away at the first sight of fall in price and jump back in with the slightest rise in price, with their eyes closed are bound to lose money.

it is the new way of advertising a scam. i received similar transactions before. they just send out dust to people's bitcoin address to maybe reel some fish in!

pump and dump is the only way that anyone can reach profitability in altcoin market. although there is always people saying ... coin is gonna be huge and stuff like that but that is not the usual profitability of this market

i think the best word that describes my position now is that i am currently "accumulating" as much as i can. i do this in a couple of ways: mostly trading, but also signature campaigns and buying with fiat.

and since i bought at low prices so far, i am happy with my investment.

back when solo mining on pc was an option and also bitcoin price was high there were a lot of people mining bitcoin and profiting from this action. and that is how i was introduced to bitcoin.
but with end of solo mining a lot of them gave up bitcoin and sold all their bitcoins and got out.

i am glad that the bitcoin price was kind of stable for a while now, but i hope it starts going up again. i think going past $300 is gonna be so important

i sold my coins once and it was to someone, i mean in person to fiat not an exchanger.
but for trading i used CEX.IO a while back to do some bitcoin to $$ trading and back to earn some profit.

in the beginning i started with faucets and earned small amounts just to test the whole thing out. after that i bought the most portion of my bitcoins. now i earn bitcoin mostly from signature campaign and trading altcoin.

i don't like the new website's interface. especially the charts. i liked how the old charts looked.
but the added interval option in nice.

also when i hover the mouse over the candles in the chart, the popup that shows Low,High,... doesn't stay up it goes away!

i would make a secure and attractive paper wallet and deposit some amount of bitcoin in it. then gift it to someone i want to introduce Bitcoin to. then help them set up a wallet and teach them how to buy and spend bitcoin.

there is no place that gives you bits just for joining and not doing anything. you always have to do something like entering captcha in faucets.

for PTC i know 2 of them:
http://btcclicks.com/
https://coinad.com/

also you might find giveaways in games and rounds section of this forum

i think it can cause a raise in price for two reasons, first because the supply amount of bitcoin being dumped by miners will decrease. and second just the thought of bitcoin price going up will make people buy more bitcoin which will result in the price going up.

i think the main thing that would make a faucet successful in attracting more people and as a result make more money, is being different and more attractive that others. since there are a lot of faucets with different payments and plans any new faucet that wants to be successful needs to do something different and attractive.

yeah. without Pump and Dumps no one could profit (fill their pocket with bitcoin) by trading altcoins. it is only the matter of finding it.
i used this method and still using it, but in my experience i have never seen someone advertise a coin which is going to be pumped, it is always being advertised after the pump and when it is falling

the faucet looks simple, i liked it; but i think it would be better if it was a longer timer with bigger prize. also adding refferal system will attract more people since (for you) it is like free advertising which is being done by people trying to gain refferals.

i think the best and easiest way is to use an antivirus with a decent firewall and block the address in the AV
i have Eset Smart security and i am satisfied with its firewall and other aspects. plus it does requires so small amounts of system resources.

this is what i was thinking before i started trading. i though it is easy an i simply buy low and sell higher (with considering fees) and i will profit. but in action it is much harder than that, specially in a long run.

anyway i figured out that bitcoin market is not meant for me so i went to altcoin market and it was good for me so far. but i still have much to learn.

i don't know about them accepting bitcoin in stripclubs but they sure are accepting it in other places on internet.
there was a topic in services section by someone asking for bitcoin to create costume nude vidoes for anyone willing to pay; it looked a bit suspicious but still there are girls doing that already...

i think nowadays only thing that can make a faucet popular is how much they pay out.

like if it is going to pay >1000 satoshi per claim per hour it most definitely is going yo attract more people in comparison to a faucet that pays 100

then you need to constantly promote your faucet through different ways like forums, advertising websites, etc

also the design although i think is not that important, it needs to be simple an avoid creating a crowded page.

you always can look at successful faucets which are around for a long time like freebitco.in
