Newbie introducing hismself

Oh the good first days .
Well to start faucets aint gonna make you rich in any way not even few bucks, you would have to spend way too much time.
Mining right now is only for small profiters or the ones that believe bitcoin will skyrocket.
Aaaand finally on the gambling subject, you will see a lot moves around gambling, i would recommend to you to stay away from it, tought if you dont become a degen i can show you a way to make few bucks extra by chatting (or just check my signature).
Also, be aware of scams there is plenty of them.
Yes you can transfer your balance to your wallet, tought with microfractions fees can eat up it all unless you send no fees (no fee= long processing time).

Thanks for your help andulolika.  I figured faucets were too good to be true, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

Please tell me though about how to make a few bucks extra by chatting …  You could inbox me if you like.  In the meantime I will check out your signature and see what I can figure out from there!

Thanks!

UPDATE:  Looks like I can't use the LuckyBit that's in your signature… one of the Terms & Conditions that I had to agree to was "Attest that you are not located in the USA or any jurisdiction where the LuckyBit service could be illegal;"  I am, in fact, in the USA.  :-(

Well yeah, luckyb.it was the way to make few bucks extra, eitherway if you enter and start speaking there i assure you that the only problem you will have is that ill be the one that will give to you the addresses, i can get you started with few things if you up to.
Eitherway the easiest way to get bitcoins is buying them.

As I said when I first created the thread, I am a total newbie as far as Bitcoin goes.  Is it THAT hard to believe that someone just started with Bitcoin and had practically no prior knowledge about it until about two weeks ago should end up on this forum?

If this forum isn't a place where Bitcoin newbies can come to get help, you're welcome to suggest another forum that may be of service to me, and I'll be happy to get out of you all's hair and go there instead.

I appreciate the initial replies I got, but yours was slightly insulting, and honestly, I did not come here to be called names.

Thanks,

Rafagon

If you really are new and just started just 2 weeks ago, then do I owe you an apology.
I am deeply sorry that I offended you (I really am).
I (and the rest of the community) would be more than happy to asist with any questions you might have.

One thing you will learn in this bitcoin community is that people "shoot first and ask the questions later". This can seams both rude and harsh for new users, but there is a good reason for this.
As you will learn there is many-many alt-acounts, trolls and scammers here.
Basically can you not trust anybody, unless you know them.
Take the information you can get here, ask for help, but keep your guards up, untill you learn how things are done. And for god sake, if you make any bitcoins transaction here, use escrow!

youll be mining forever mining with a laptop, and everything says youll never get anything. youll need dedicated special mining hardware for that.

Thank you kindly.  It's okay, no harm done.  I know there's a lot to learn, and I'm not in a huge hurry, but I'm glad to have found this forum where I can get some help getting started.
