It is a site, that gives away bitcoins to anyone, that just gives their address.

a faucet is commonly used to refer to a tap or valve, in this case that starts and stops the flow of BTC ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Where does that money come from? Ads on the faucet site?

nothing is for free. maybe a sight that will blockchain your address and see what you are up to? to see how many coins you have??? nothing is free in the world people. but go ahead and get those "free" coins.

What information do I provide when I use a faucet? It's all in the blockchain anyway and I never say any faucet where I have to register with my home address. Well. Maybe for mapping IP/browser fingerprint to a BTC address, but you shouldn't reuse BTC addresses anyway.

Sounds like a waste of time. Some faucets are funded by donations. Most are funded by ads. None of them will give you more than a token amount of bitcoins, maybe the equivalent of 1/2 penny per day.

![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.qkme.me%2F3tltpb.jpg&t=665&c=e0-yEBn9Q2Gpig) You can, however, earn some bitcoins with relative ease from BitcoinGet (see signature) by watching videos or doing simple tasks. You don't need to provide any information other than your Bitcoin address.

I use the bottom link in my signature. So far I've earned 0.007 BTC. It's not much, but it's still free money. The site also has a higher/lower game where you can double (or even higher multipliers) your earning.

Bitcoin faucets are for all intents and purposes dead right now. They give you the equivalent of a digital penny, but it costs a digital quarter to send the payment. It's just not worth the time.
Buy and sell your goods and services in the marketplace for BTC.
If you want freebies, go enter a bunch of online contests and if you win something sell it for BTC or convert the fiat to BTC
