The secret to not going insane with faucets is to pick a few you like, and just use them. Don't do the ones with anti-bots; as you found, they will just waste your time for nothing in return. Find 30 or 40 faucets you like, save them in one folder in your bookmarks manager, and just use them when you have time. I earn about .01 per week with faucets - but I spend too much time online!

payouts have been broken for days now, on playbitcoin , we love bitcoin, and water bitcoin. When will they be fixed?

just delete your id for them, and they won't show up.

Yaeh, I never even received my first payment at all, I just wrote it off as new faucet startup. But now it's becoming a pattern. I'm going to go and check my other payments, see if they were right.

I don't know where you got that, but I only received 8,283 satoshis.  Again, I include the transaction ledger:

Using just faucets, it would be really hard to make a bitcoin. Look at it this way - if you could make 1 million satoshis per week, it would still take 100 weeks to earn 1 bitcoin, or almost 2 years. I've tried to make 1 million sats per week, or 142,000 per day, and it's hard. If you did nothing else every day, and had a fantastic list, it can be done, but it's boring - and would probably break your mouse-using wrist!

The best way to make 1 bitcoin by faucets is to work for a while, build some money up in your wallet and find an investment that will increase your worth. If you pick the wrong investment, it's a setback, but you just have to try again. If you can find 4 good investments, and each one made you .25 btc each month, that would be good money from faucets!

Okay, it's not counting them as clicks, but it's not counting my own clicks either, although it says it will, so I would say it works with the ad network I use.

So how much for more clicks?

I`ll check later today again, but what the ad server says is:

Date                 Hits                  Clicks       Revenue
2015-11-25    15                 0      $0.0016

But the country list is very good -  
CA   6         
 RO   3         
 IN   3         
 US   2         
 ID   2         
 BR   2         
 SG   2         
 TH   2         
 HT   1         
 PL   1         
 GR   1         
 TW   1         
 MY   1         
 HR   1         
 AG   1         
 BA   1         
 RU   1         

How close to the top? Is this okay http://www.satoshihunter.ca    And how much will the clicks be? Send the vouch to that page, and I'll be interested in more.

I like a higher reward like 1500 satoshis every 5 or 6 hours. When your income is higher than that, you could lower the wait time to 4 or 5 hours. I also like a smaller reward like 200 satoshi every 15 minutes, but that's 800 per hour, so you need a higher income to do that.

I found it, it did arrive when expected, I just overlooked it because it's so small. Thanks!

How often can we claim from this faucet? Just once?  How else can we earn NXT?

I hit payout on BitVisitor a few days ago, but don't see the money in my wallet. It's supposed to be 60.17 uBTC, so that's what? .00006017 ? I wish they had an account where I could look at my transactions, or at least a sending address I could look for. And a higher payout.

I will wait for BitcoinOur and see what happens. I have received payout properly before this, so am willing to wait and see. Will update when something happens. I'll update my original post with the tx.

Big, big problem. My withdrawal for was 35,000 satoshis, I received 8,283. That's a heck of a lot more fee than 5,000.

Please fix this.

The former owner of PV stole a lot of money from them, and messed up the books really badly. They just discovered this recently, but they are taking steps to clean it up. I think they are going to get it back to normal in the next couple of months.

sure, I'll do this too. 1DTPwP7ZRSfMfCUoEtGh4gEC58uucsffRk

What he said is that each mine had a 2-year lifespan, and then would stop producing ore. So it depends on when you buy each mine.

It takes 4 months to reach ROI there, and lots of people have invested lots of money there. Payments are made on time, and have been for over a year now. But make up your own mind, there is an official thread in the investor games section.

People who write in other people's threads to call them morons are stupid and should just stay away from threads they know nothing about.
