Each roll has the same probability of rolling 10,000 - it's 1/10,000 or 0.0001%. That probability does not increase with each roll because each roll is independent and each roll is out of the same total amount of numbers (i.e,. 10,000).

I agree with you that it's more fun! And I didn't know that they give away free tickets if you buy some (although I'm not surprised at all). I also like how some people that win the prizes in the lottery don't have hundreds or thousands of tickets...some people win with just 40 tickets! Which makes me believe that anyone can really win the lottery.

This is definitely the most fun faucet I've participated in but i'll confess that I haven't played any others in months, so maybe something new has come along with better payouts and better probability to win top prizes.

The probability (or chances as you put it) of rolling 10,000 is slightly more difficult then that. 1 / 10,000 is 0.0001%.

You should keep playing, you can win the 4th highest prize...others (including me) have!

Is anyone fro Freebitco.in cruising this Forum and can offer some insight on how many people have rolled the almighty 10,000?

And how many rolls do you have?

I have a few over 1200...a tad suspicious that no one here has gotten higher.

Hey serdar, welcome to the forum!

As you've heard from others, there are no limits on how many wallets you have. I do have some new information to add, here's a site to help you narrow down the list on what bitcoin wallet may be best based on your specific preferences: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Good luck to you and if you're looking to fill your new wallets with some free satoshis, check out my profile for a link to my favorite bitcoin faucet and lottery.

Cheers!

I read the other thread from a year ago, no one there admitted to winning a prize higher than has been won on this thread...disappointing. But I DO wonder how long people played for. It's easy for people to try it for a month, not win big and give up. But you need more time than that to get a good sample size in.

One new thought I have, given that they have a lottery no and the lowest payout on the lottery is in the 150,000 satoshi range, would it make more sense to buy lottery tickets with a week's worth of faucet "earnings" to increase the payout level? (although not the probability)

Hey, thanks for sharing the link to the other thread. I wasn't aware that there was a conversation about this from last June (in fact I may not have join this forum at that time.)

I definitely feel luck for hitting the relatively large or relatively small (depending on you perspective) prize. I also have over 1,000 rolls. In theory if someone had 10,000 rolls they should have one roll hitting 10,000.

I'd love to talk to someone who's hit large on this site...even if it was back in late 2012. One thing that's interesting about this faucet (and probably others) is that the payout rate changes with the price of bitcoin. The higher the price of bitcoin the lower the payout. So when bitcoin was trading at $200 the lowest payout was 1,000 satoshi. I know it's still dust, but it does increase incentive to play if you're a "roll and hodl" kind of person.

Who are these people that keep saying "we don't see Bitcoin's killer app yet"?

I'm only hearing the opposite - and debates about the currency vs. investment role it should play.

This is also the 4th highest prize.

So no one so far has won more than (current rates) ~74,000 satoshi.

Has anyone won in the lottery they established in the last 2 months? I like having the additional option to win. Their stats for the site are crazy, some people have one some serious coin but it must have happened when the price of bitcoin was significantly lower than it is today.

Are these annual rates? Sounds like such a good deal it could be too good to be true! What's the default rate?

You've never been to this faucet, have you. You should check it out (there's a link in my profile.)

The roll or spin of numbers goes up to 10,000. If you hit 10,000 you win about 75% of a bitcoin, it's at BTC0.74 today for that top payout. Then there is a lottery to earn more each week, it's not bad!

You should do some research before blowing it off or making inaccurate comments, join us, check it out from my profile!

Hi, these questions may have been missed or maybe they've already been answered. Can you give me some insights or direct me to where they answers may be located?

Thanks and good luck!

Hey, so for those of you that use the faucet Freebitco.in, has anyone rolled 10,000 to win the top prize?

I've rolled the 4th highest prize, currently at BTC0.00074261.

Has anyone won big in their lottery?

I'd love to know the top wins others have made. Especially since the sites stats imply that some people are getting some very fat payouts.

For those that scoff at faucets, we don't need you trolling here.

For those of you new to faucets I have a referral link in my profile if you're interested (I'll share winnings back).

If the price of a bitcoin was $50,000 each, 750 satoshi would be worth $0.375. SO the price needs to be higher than this still before people start talking about how many satoshi they have, but I get your point.

Someone previous said that the OP's question is like asking "how much stock should one person own?" It's a question that's different for everyone involved!

As a token "investment" I'd say everyone should own 1 bitcoin...but owning any is better than owning none, you don't need to have a certain amount.

This is what mining pools are, right? Sharing the capability of your computer (call it bandwith or computing power or whatever you want) for the purpose of combining forces with others and getting paid a regular rate or commission as a result.

http://www.coindesk.com/consumers-research-blockchain-tech-will-boost-consumer-protection/

This is an interesting article (not surprising but) consumer groups are saying that blockchain technology can bring a boost to consumer protection. No shit!?!?! We all know this because the blockchain ensures the validity of all of our transactions. The cool thing is that consumer groups are realizing this value, and consumers will as well.

They're saying: Bitcoin technology is safe, provides protection!

Here's a bit more...With interest growing in bitcoin's blockchain and distributed ledger systems more broadly, industry events are increasingly focused on highlighting applications for the emerging technology beyond the world of finance.

This has included more time and investment dollars devoted to applications in fields such as identity and security that, while not explicitly financial, play an equally prominent role in the global transactions process. As further proof that interest in the technology is widening, Keynote 2015 dedicated a speaking slot to a less-frequently addressed area of impact of the technology – consumer protection.

Surveys about Bitcoin would be the best way to earn bitcoin. If you have one, post it on marketplace or goods/services. And if you conduct a survey please share with us the results...it's only fair given that we would be giving you our time and thoughts.

Good luck.

The interesting thing is that most of the bad press isn't actually that bad and can easily be marginalized by mainstream celebrities and entrepreneurs discussing Bitcoin positively.

Mt. Gox and the Silk Road are footnotes that can be easily compared to situations that happen with all the time with fiat (how many drug, hit, sex transactions have happened using the US Dollar?!) So those bad press incidents can be discounted easily...also, Karpeles and Dread were pursued by the authorities, proving that bitcoin doesn't make it instantly easier to facilitate criminal activity. Online transactions are a lot easier to track than cash transactions.

I think it's great that Bitcoin is in the press, regardless of what that press may be for.

A bunch of people acting as billboards doesn't hurt. The infrastructure for bitcoin exists, it's VERY easy for merchants to accept it as payment (both with technology choices, account/wallet choices, and liquidity to turn that bitcoin into fiat if they desire).

The growth of bitcoin use really comes down to awareness, making it less of a foreign idea. Getting people to know it and be comfortable with it...getting Bitcoin to become a "household name" as they say. Having a bunch of people walking around with a bitcoin logo on their t-shirt helps generate curiosity which generates awareness and eventually actual use.

P.S. Litecoin could use some awareness even more so than Bitcoin!

Is this your shirt or are you promoting for someone else? If it is your shirt, great! Great design, I like it. If it isn't your shirt and you're doing promotions, how much are you getting paid per shirt sold via this ad?

Finally, how many of these shirts have been sold so far?

Thanks.

Ok, so they're not celebrating as much as having a bust of him at the New York art festival, but it does show how public opinion of Snowden has changed as his "whistleblowing" activity has provided positive change in the US National Security and Diplomatic actions.

Here's the starting text from the article: New York (AFP) - A cement bust of America's most-wanted whistleblower Edward Snowden, once famously confiscated by police, returned to public display in New York on Friday to kick off a street art festival.

The 100-pound (45-kilo) likeness stands proud on a plinth in Manhattan's tourist-clogged Little Italy neighborhood, to be guarded round the clock until the weekend Lo Man Art Festival closes.

"If any shenanigans begin they (volunteers) find our security guards and we make sure we keep everyone safe," says comedy manager Wayne Rada, who founded the festival and Little Italy Street Art Project.
