Do you still really use faucet?

[trinaldao]

Hell no. If your posting here then join a sig campaign, you make nothing off faucets.
Now if Gavin still ran his 5btc faucet i would use it.

Those tiny faucet payments add up to a lot of dust in your wallet so unless you know how to combine those imputs into 1 output then your transactions fees will normally be higher to send a bunch of dust.
It happened to me when i was learning.

Most of faucets pay in faucetbox...*faucetbox is configurable ...so you have no dust in your wallet.

As you can see here a lot of people use faucets still. i make good money i think on my faucet list check out my stats. https://faucetbox.com/en/check/1LB8EJsDQZQt5X2EPHvKgHw1F66xLUUCj1     and this is the list  http://bitcoinfaucetrelay.com

I get mad traffic for faucets to my page

[mindrust]

I quit all faucets 2 years ago. They simply don't worth of my time. Profit is too low and they distract my attention too much, so i can't focus on my blog and my signature campaign here.

Well that is your case. Didn't you know that people can do signature campaign while fauceting. That's called determination LOL. They treat faucets as an additional earnings rather than bullying it.

[winspiral]

I prefer faucets...i let sign campaign to other ones who need big cash 
I use faucets by solidarity...
if faucets exist...it is because they want claimers...

Faucets are a better way to waste your time instead of games because you get at least something for playing.

[Possum577]

I know most of you guys really say get free btc for newbies, but you still do it?

If so which ones the best? i plan on getting my nephews to do this for me lol. 

Ryze, I still use a faucet - direct your nephews to the referral link in my profile and I'll kick back some of my referral commissions to them.

Yes it's dust. Yes it's not nearly as much money as one can make doing ANYTHING else (therefore it can be a waste of time, depending on what you could be doing otherwise) but it's like playing the lottery. The faucet I use has a lottery system, you get two tickets for every roll. If you don't play, you can't win!

you center the point. I usually use faucet for 30 min every day.. of course when I'm on the bathroom and when I have my phone during wait time. For this purpose, I developed an Android app to help me and propose me always the better faucet eligible.. iy you want to give a look https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1140522

Thats really cool ...too bad i use an IPhone.....also that love faucet has no claim button i would change that example. Good job though excellent work. Do you know how to make a rotator for a webpage?? right now i have a faucet relay list here http://bitcoinfaucetrelay.com and i get good profits but it would be nice to give an option to what they want to use"list or rotator" .

I have made 64 posts this week. That's about BTC.0065 this week from signature campaigns. I will only be earning more as I rank up. You're a fool if you were to go back to faucets from sig campaigns...

Why not do both? I dont know about you but can just blog all day for fun. You have to switch it up here and there and doing faucets is kinda a break from the grind i do all day advertising and trading.

Well said there. He is another faucet bitter here. I don't understand why people really compare faucet to signature campaign. Damn even a 1year old baby knows they are different. I see people in high rank here doing sigcampaign and fauceting. They have their own reason and that's not the amount that they received in faucet.

[Monopoly]

No .... it's really wasting time ...... faucets with 10000 satoshi in 5 min claiming have worth to caliming

[nickaizoku]

why not? faucet is easy and sure win coin for us, but yea it slow, still better than casino or dice

[horace0812]

not much now...
just keep doing few good faucets only

[Patatas]

No .... it's really wasting time ...... faucets with 10000 satoshi in 5 min claiming have worth to caliming

Indeed it is, how I wish there's a faucet like that

[ralle14]

i use only faucet that has good amount of prize of satoshi earned about 30k-60k per day depends on my luck
but i also do sig campaign atleast it is a win win for both
its still something rather than begging right

Trouble may be brewing for some of the leading bitcoin faucet operators, as problems persist with three of the main micro wallets used by sites in this area of the bitcoin ecosystem. The market has been dominated up to now by three different operators – Microwallet.org, Coinbox.me and BitChest.me – which for years have steadily churned out bitcoins to thousands of bitcoin users. However, in recent weeks Bitchest stopped dispensing, and their bitcoin wallet address has gone quiet. Now in the last few days, Microwallet.org put up a notice that there was a bug with the Blockchain.info API, and was offline yesterday, but back up again today with a notice saying that withdrawals will be processed in the next 24 hours. So can these issues be overcome, or is writing on the wall for these sites?

I have been looking into faucets for the last few weeks for some personal research, and have several accounts on these sites over the threshold. I can confirm that two of the three, MicroWallet and BitChest, indeed have stopped dispensing.

Dismissed by many for the tiny amounts of bitcoin they give to end users, these faucets still  have served an important entry gateway into bitcoin for a number of years now, enabling people to get their hands on their first bitcoin. I think the first thing that people find out is that there are easier ways to get their first bitcoins. But as many people are exposed to new brands and service, whether good, bad or shady, a number of these users will go on to buy or trade bitcoins on exchanges, buy mining hardware to generate bitcoin themselves. or invest in cloud mining services.

Users visit the sites, usually plastered with advertising, and fill in a captcha and their bitcoin wallet address. A small amount (anything from 10-500 satoshi) is then transferred into an associated micro wallet, and the visitor needs to wait for a specified cool-down period from five to 240 minutes before being able to repeat the process. People then can systematically do this across several sites using the same micro wallet, which builds up. Once they pass the bitcoin network’s 5430 minimum payment threshold , a payment is queued to be sent to a large batch of users on a set frequency.

The faucet business model is relatively straightforward. They start with an initial amount of bitcoin to get them going, and then they are monetised either through affiliate links to bitcoin merchants, advertising from bitcoin ad networks or Google advertising, or donations from users. Faucets also cross promote a range of similar sites on different domain names, and then offer users a percentage of any referral they bring in. As long as these numbers and volumes are maintained, it should cover itself, but it is also easy to knock the metrics out of line, with a drop in traffic, large fluctuations in bitcoin’s price, or operators losing interest.

The market has also moved on somewhat, with a shift away from sites that look like they were designed off an old geocities template, and more professional sites such as Moonbit.co.in and BitcoinZebra.com offering a different take on the concept – usually with much larger payouts into their own wallet. A number of dice gambling sites like 999dice.com and freebitco.in offer a faucet as a way to be drawn into their games with the intention of getting people to make a lodgement and gamble it on the site.

So we’ll have to wait and see what happens with these micro wallets; will they start working again, or will they shut down overnight without warning? Either way, this area of the bitcoin ecosystem is going through a shakeup which means opportunities for new entrants into the market.
