Bitcoin faucet is a website that gives out "free" bitcoins (BTC) in exchange for doing a simple task, Mostly solving a CAPTCHA, and/or clicking some "hidden" buttons in order to see the claim button. You can start in https://freebitco.in or check a list here https://faucetbox.com/en/list and experiment and understand how it works, but saying the truth the reward is very small. |

Well, if you don't know what a faucet is maybe you shouldn't invest in mining also.
You should learn a lot about bitcoin and everything about it's formal and informal economy before investing in mining.
Mining is a great way to lose money BTW.

You definitely need a faucet for newbies to waste time on and for you to make boat loads of money from page views. I'm kidding, somewhat. You don't need anything...but if you can set up a faucet, why not? Good luck with your mining. |

You need to take a deep breath and to start learning and reading about Bitcoin basics. When you get over the most of the basics and you feel comfortable that you understand them, then you decide what you wanna do in Bitcoin world. Faucets and mining have in common only that they run on Bitcoin and nothing else! Two different world's mate! Good luck to you! |

Second, don't use faucets, they are waste of time. You don't need any faucets in your life. Read sticky threads here, instructions in Bitcoin.org, do your homework. |

And to be honest almost no one but very very few have lots of referrals. With referrals on a faucet yes you would get paid without doing anything, but this is unlikely. I highly suggest just buy even a few bucks through a exchange. Save your self days and day's of faucet use. |

you don't need a faucet for mining.Mining is different.for mining you need a better hardware and mining has become unprofitable now.
if you are new to bitcoin then try faucets to earn some.By faucets you can earn few satoshi's every hour.

I think you're definition of mining bitcoins is earning BTC, am I right? I know a lot of newbies on a local bitcoin group on Facebook that has the same thoughts with you regarding what mining is  Yes you can earn with mining but don't use the term mining to replace the word "earning". Anyways in a faucet, you can earn satoshis (1 satoshi =0.00000001 BTC) there by doing small tasks like solving captchas. Well most beginners start with faucets so I guess you should need one to earn little BTC to start with your journey on bitcoin world Explore also this forum and you'll find more earning opportunities other than faucets. Good luck man! |

Faucets are ideal for members who do not want to mine or which do not have the resources to mine.
You do not necessarily need faucets but they are good for starting with Bitcoin.

but the last people say faucet just waste my time ?? and it's true im still using freebitco.in If you don't have any bitcoin earning method aside from doing faucets then do faucets if you like. You will grow up soon and will gain some knowledge about other btc earning method. Don't rush take your time to explore in this forum. |

The question is how much do you value your time? Plenty of faucets only pay out the equivalent of less than one cent per hour. That's fucking ridiculous. Just because it's 'on the internet' doesn't mean that you're not wasting your real life. If you sell one piece of old crap on Ebay and use that to buy BTC you just saved yourself many, many hours of pointless clicking that could otherwise have been used for learning languages, saving lives, making babies. Life is short. Don't squander it. |

i suggest sticking to your real life job if you have one, or go apply for one.
then use that to buy bitcoin when the price does fall.

but the last people say faucet just waste my time ?? and it's true im still using freebitco.in And it is. Do it for the fun or for the curiosity. But even after hours, you will end with just some cents. It probably won't pay the electricity costs of maintaining your computer powered on to do this. |
