microwallet (which most of the sites use to payout) has increased their payout schedule as well.

"You will receive [your]  BTC within 7 days."

So it seems to work if one uses a Bitcoin address that has transactions associated with it on the Blockchain.
You should point out that one can't use a newly generated address ( or perhaps make it more prominent if
it already says that somewhere ).

Thanks for the report. I will re-add it to the list... although marked with a  * until it starts to payout again.

Error message: Invalid primecoin address

when trying the Bitcoin game.  

Interesting, but as a game and not a 'free' bitcoin site, won't be added to the list.
If one doesn't get a payout on each submission then it is not a faucet.

I guess it would depend on the nature of the requests.
( as an example of the difficulty of relying on such things: people have recommended unworthy sites here before just as a way
of posting their own referral links to said sites... they didn't seem to be really interesting in helping newbies, or the community as
a whole, but rather in making a few more satoshis for themselves. )

The best would be endorsements from regular users of this list, whose opinions I have learned to trust over the years this list
has been going.

I was considering getting rid of the 'popular earn Bitcoin sites' category altogether... for one thing I don't use many
of them, not too regularly anyway, and so can't personally keep tabs on them. 

So I won't make any promises about the inclusion of your, or any, earn site even if you can convince some of your users to post
positively about it here.
 

I just got a payout from Bitcoin-cloud, and on time. You were perhaps thinking of coinbox?

The site was not accessible when I tried to check it yesterday.  It is up today.

Check the list again.

This list is for 'free bitcoin' sites. 'Earn bitcoin' sites are only added by popular demand.

Yes bitchest and coinbox have been removed from the list for not paying out. Bitcoin-cloud now? I got a payout from it about a week ago.
I will check it again and it will be removed from the list if it doesn't payout in a reasonable amount of time. Anyone else seeing a lack of
payouts from it?  

Thanks for the report.

Beware of 'all' links to free bitcoin sites that haven't been verified and appear in this forum's Free Bitcoin Sites thread.

Don't post referral links. It is against the forum rules.

And if your post is only about the referral link in your signature then it is spam.

Don't spam this thread.

If any of these sites above ( except for Bitcoin Cloud which I haven't been using ) pays out I will report it here, unless somebody else beats me to it.

It has been more than a week since they have payed out so I don't hold out much hope for them.

We already have this list here on this forum * which is checked everyday, by not just me but many members who participate in this thread giving their feedback.
There is also the forum moderators who act as an additional safety mechanism to make sure scammy/spammy links don't get posted.

All the faucets listed here get checked out before they are added to this list and are removed if something changes with them to make them
untrustworthy. There aren't referral links and so one can be reasonably sure that they are not posted here for any other reason than to
provide safe and reliable faucets for newbies to gather in some Bitcoin to try things out for themselves.  

If you or anybody knows of any Bitcoin faucets that should be on this list then feel free to submit them for inclusion in this list here.

We don't need any submissions of sites which have their own lists, and who no doubt have those lists on their own sites in order to
get some ad revenue or to make something off of referral links and/or adfly(etc.) redirections etc., which makes them less trustworthy
than a moderated list here... I, and others here, have seen many examples of websites offering links to suspect sites, because they
perhaps don't care if the linked site works or not as long as they get visitors to their site and there is a chance to make a little bit of money
somehow from clicks, referrals, redirections or what have you. ( some of the "complete offers for money" sites are even worse and people have
downloaded programs full of viruses, or have given up personal information in order to participate, resulting in spam or worse... )

I am not singling that site out as a dubious one. It is just that a moderated list here on this forum, where all members and moderators
have input into its makeup, will always be more trustworthy than one of the many websites one comes across on the internet.

* and the list here on this forum has a lot more than 40 verified faucets.

BitChest and CoinBox will be removed from the OP list here as well if no payout is made before the end of the week.

( Bitcoin-Cloud.eu is a similar site. Anyone use it? Is it still paying out? )

Also Bitcoiner ( one of the oldest, and up until now, most reliable faucets ) seems to not be paying out either.
Anybody got a payout from them recently?

Thanks, I will check it out.

Can anybody confirm payouts?  There are other freebitco.in clones like this which have proven to be untrustworthy and a waste of time.
One should also be careful with sites that ask for one to input their email address or other personal information.

I've been using faucets since late 2011. People complained back then that amounts like 0.01 BTC weren't worth the time spent to
gather it from faucets and similar sites...

Of course Bitcoin was only worth $2 or so in the fall of that year.  The more than 30 BTC * I have built up during, and since, that time
would be a waste of time if it stayed at that level.  So I guess it depends on what you think the future holds for Bitcoin... 

But the real point is:

What good is it if one only gets very very small amounts?

* not all from faucets but also from some earn BTC sites, giveaways, contests, and promotions etc.

And thanks for all the input in regard to the BitChest and CoinBox sites. 

If they don't payout soon, or we don't get a response and reasonable explanation from the site owners/operators, then they will be removed from the list. 

They have been marked with an * for now.

I don't know if your site is dodgy. That is the point. Many people have been burned by using links
on one the very many websites which have lists of bitcoin faucets.
