What is a General thread?
This is the another of (probably) many general threads that will be created in this subsection. A General thread will contain relevant information related to the question/subject of the title thus duplicate threads related to it are not allowed. Posts within a general thread will be harshly moderated and anything remotely useless will be removed. These threads are supposed to be informational, and reposting similar information multiple times is not allowed. You are free to discuss information that has been posted, but keep it short and civil (more than 5 replies is too much). Questions about information provided in this thread are not allowed either.

For example, a post like the one below will be removed as we are not here to babysit. Please do your own research and look in the appropriate sections for answers.

How can I earn Bitcoins by trading altcoins?

What are General threads for?
General threads are meant to be used as an overview of useful information and to prevent unnecessary duplicate threads within the section. After 10 pages this thread will be closed and a "[General] How to earn Bitcoins - Part n+1" will be created, which will contain an updated list of good information. This process will constantly be repeated. The reason that this approach was chosen is to prevent long threads in which people don't find what they are looking for and to provide the most up-to-date information.

Which version of androit can search for bitcoin?
And can a newbie embed bitcoin without capital?

You have some sites, apps in which you can earn some BTC ( https://freebitco.in/ ) and BitMaker on android. But you will get very small amounts of money.
It is funny how people are asking where can they get free bitcoins - 1 Bitcoin is worth 2900$ right now (https://coinmarketcap.com/#USD) it is very hard to get it for less then this. And do we ever see anyone asking where can they get free dollars, euros, yens? Noone because we know you must earn it or buy it with other currency.
It is exactly the same with Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies. You can't just get 100$ in coins, in this case coins would be worthless. But you can get few cents worth of coins and because limited supply and blockchain technology in few years this could be worth a lot.
So my advise for all newbies is: ASK, LEARN, RESEARCH, then you will know what to do

I look forward to Part 2: How to earn Bitcoins creatively.

That's where it gets interesting, I think. The most common ways of earning Bitcoin are getting to be a stale topic for regular users. But if we can turn this resource thread into a creative discussion, it may add to the value.

The focus of 'how to earn BTC' is often from the investor / freelancer / freeloader perspectives. Perhaps if we get some interesting business ideas listed it will encourage others to start thinking about earning Bitcoins in the same way.

With those who have dev skills, the earning potential looks as good as ever. For instance, creating an app (web or mobile) that solves a problem or makes life easier is an excellent way to start stacking coin. You can think about online services like CouchSurfing and adapt it for payments in Bitcoin. Of course, this requires more responsibility and dedication, but that's business for you.

Say you live in a popular tourist city and you have a spare room you can rent for a short time. Your customers might be international tourists who need a place to stay urgently, but have no local cash and a bank transfer would take too long. Simply offer to take payments in Bitcoin and you have creatively solved a problem for this market. In terms of earning Bitcoin, you can either try to provide the platform and take middleman fees, or you can just be the person who rents out a room for Bitcoin using the platform.

In a word, innovation!

I see on other sites people sell for bitcoin for paypal but sell it for 150% more. Is that something that you think would be a smart way to make easy money? Or are the scams too frequent for it to be worth it?

I'm pretty sure you are wrong. Bitcoin sellers usually take current bitcoin rates + 10% maximum, It's not because they want to make profit but It's because of the risk being involved there since PayPal is a reversible payment method, plus bitcoin price changes quickly.

Is it already possible to use this on webshops?

Yes, there are many web shops that accept bitcoin. You can find it with DuckDuckGo or any other web search engine. Also, I can recommend you to read this article: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Category:Payment_Processors

This is my think. Bitcoin is the most popular digital currency in the world today. Bitcoin cloud mining is the fastest way to immediately begin earning bitcoins. Bitcoin is built using very complicated cryptographic principles, and supported by countless individuals and companies from all around the world. so guyzz earn bitcoin and develop your life.

Cloud mining is also the fastest way to get scammed.

Could you please elaborate why cloud mining is a scam?  I'm really interested to know because many people that I know are heavily investing in cloud mining company called www.gainbitcoin.com.  Interestingly enough there is thread in India specific section which is trying to explain how it is a scam.  Some people who are believing in gainbitcoin claim that www.gbminers.com is actual mining site for gainbitcoin.   How to verify amount of bitcoins mined by gbminers.com?

Let me tell you my experience about cloud mining websites like you stated above. Maybe you have heard about the haschocean. That was a website claming that they will give the same services like gainbitcoin. I invested there and got paid 6 months in a row. But then, they disappeared. That's why, my opinon to earn money is learning about buy/sell actions. Then you may do clear and safe moves.

I have also an experidnce like this. Few years ago i was mining my money in a website which gave the same service like gainbitcoin. Few months later when i checked that website, i could not find it. One of my friend also mining there. He got some profit and also lost much more money.

does anyone use Electroeum. i used them a while ago when they still had the mobile miner app. recently i decided to go back to it. after updating the app, they brought up a cloud mining service rather than the traditional mobile miner. is this also a scam?

It does not look like cloud mining, it is like giveaway to users whom install mobile application. But to activate this function and use their coins you need to:
1. Send them your selfie.
2. Your full name.
3. Your mobile phone number
4. Wich country you live in and was born.

I'm not doing anything recommend to you, just try to decide yourself whether there are your personal data of those cents that you receive in exchange.

P.S.: Sorry for my English. PM me if I made some mistake.

Electroeum is a coin, and the cloud mining service you're referring to is offered by the same people who developed the company. The process is free, but also not worth it, as you'll only be able to get 3$ per month from what I understood, not to mention the fact that you'll need to go through KYC for it.

When it comes to this type of discussion, i think everybody should mention what they are actually doing to earn bitcoin.
I am earning bitcoin by trading on forex (I do not wish to add picture to avoid advertising) but this requires a lot of knowledge and technical know how through training from experts, you can also employ the service of an expert to trade on your behalf which i am one of them, my trading history can be found at https://www.fxblue.com/users/felixo/stats
Generally trading forex, index and binary can be a great way to earn bitcoin if done properly and carefully.

Where you put the bitcoin which is save enough to hold it for life? If the bitcoin trading site closed suddenly while you put the bitcoin there, what you can do to guarantee to take back the bitcoin?

By not storing it on an online exchange/service. Use wallets like Electrum and If you're holding large amounts, a hardware wallet (Trezor or Ledger Nano S) would be best.

If you know how to earn money from the online market place, you can know how to earn bitcoin also. Because bitcoin is used as a payment gateway. It is a secured digital currency. If you are an owner of unlimited bitcoins. No one can find out you without your willing.

Thanks! I need to further investigate.

For more information about Electrum, you can see the discussion here:

About hardware wallets, you can see the discussion here:

Unlimited bitcoins?

Bitcoins are created each time a user discovers a new block. The rate of block creation is adjusted every 2016 blocks to aim for a constant two week adjustment period (equivalent to 6 per hour.) The number of bitcoins generated per block is set to decrease geometrically, with a 50% reduction every 210,000 blocks, or approximately four years. The result is that the number of bitcoins in existence will not exceed slightly less than 21 million.

I think if you are using bit coin just for some extra income and not really for  your regular job. I think it is better to start with faucet on your extra time or on the time when your are on your office and you have nothing to do. You can earn small amount of bit coin with out any expenses and it can also be a good past time. Other thing it is good to recruit others to claim in faucets because you will have referral commission it can make your earning bigger. But if you will use it to make a living, it won't work unless you have a million of referrals that is claiming everyday.
