freebitco.in "Browser Mining" - is it worth it?

[Razor33]

Hey all.
After i tested for few days this new " mining option " on freebitco.in site i can say i'm quite happy about it !

First of all you don't have to kill your CPU because you can choice to bring it to just 80-90 % without keeping it at max and i don't think this way will kill your CPU or PSU not even in long term time.

Second thing you don't have to keep your entire PC open to mine this way 24/7 and consume additional watts. You can just mine this way when you keep it open anyways !
For example in my case i have an i5-3570 4 cores 3,4 GHz (turbo mode 4 GHz) and i mine when i play PC games , or when i work at my PC.
If i play WoW (my favorite MMO game ) witch only take 50 % of my CPU (in ultra details) i will only allocate 30 % to mining and leave 10-15 % free to not overheat my CPU !
If i just watch a movie in HD , or some Youtube movies or i do web browsing i will allocate 70 % to web mining.
If i do some Excel or Microsoft Word work witch only takes a little of my CPU i will allocate 80 % to mining.
And if i leave my PC idle / unattended for 30-60 min i will allocate even 90 % to web mining !

Third about the power composition not being worth please keep in mind that Bitcoins in 2009 where worth $27 each and today they are almost 5k !
So if you believe the price will keep raise like this well then is well worth to consume some extra watts to web mining.
If you think BTC will collapse or go very low some day then you should not mine in ANY WAY !

Fourth for people saying " but you can make a lot more using mining rigs / or using mining programs and consume those " watts " move efficiently !
Well keep in mind that not all people are IT experts or have so much time like others to dedicate to Cryptocurrency and sites like freebitco.in are providing such option to allow ANYONE (even my grandmother who is just using PC only for Facebook / Youtube / Web-surfing ) to get some free satoshis when they do others things as well at their PC (more stuff you do less CPU you will allocate)
If you have more time IQ or time AND more money to invest / risk into this then feel free to mine with mining Rigs or ASICs or more complex programs !  

Fifth for people saying " but there are much better web mining sites providing the same service but giving out better payouts for my CPU usage " !
Then please kindly mention them ! I would be happy to try them out as well
But before you do so please :
a) Be sure they don't give you trojans / malwares / keylogs as well together with the free satoshis =)) !
b) Be sure they allow us to choice how much % of our CPU we want to allocate (not many want to overheat their hardware) !!
c) Be sure using task Manager or others programs and check they don't use more CPU compunction that what they claimed ! (example a site you set to 70 % and they take 80-90 lol!) !
d) Be sure they payout for real !
e) Be sure you are not linking your ref code or i will just think you link it for personal gain only and you din't tested the above a-b-c-d points
We the community can still reward you with a simple " Thanks " (+ you will be happy for helping out?) !
OR if you link your ref code / link then please also provide not photoshopped proofs of points a-b-c-d so at least you will deserve those referrals for doing a detailed research and explantion !

And if you bother to read my post until here , i have a nice tip for people who say the mining option don't show anymore:
Today when i open the site to do my usual hourly roll i could not find the option there anymore so i simply went at history in google Chrome and found the mining link
Opened it and voila ! I can web-mine again And YES the satoshis keep adding to my account !

Thx for reading my opinion !

I think it is not worth it, for me it's just a waste of time to mine using browser and I also doubt that ut really mines using just a browser but the website has a good reputation so if you are willing to waste your time and electricity bill with just a pieces of satoshi then go for it. I'm just being practical here there are many ways to earn btc out there, you can try those too but mining? Nah  ever since mining is not worth to do

Ladies, mining's back baby, mining is back!

Find the link on the Free BTC page, it'll say:

Use your browser to passively mine and earn bitcoins! Click here to read more.

Mine like a champion today!

I think it is really worth it if you have a PC (not a smartphone or tab or a laptop). Just traditional PC. And with no graphic cards. Then freebitco mining is a good option. You don't need to run your computer specfically for mining, but you can just mine when you are working on PC. Like you can set the CPU usage to 70%and keep doing your own regular work. Don't use it while gaming or some other heavy work like file conversions, video editing and all. Even though you will get very less saoshi, but the good thing is that it adds up in your regular freebitco account. And then after you reach 0.0003 BTC, you even get some daily interest. Along with other free btc rolls and all. So all your freebitco earnings gather at one place and it becomes easier to withdraw or gain interest. Also bitcoin prices in future will surely rise, so no harm in earning some satoshis without doing any hardwork!!

Is it really worth? I dont think so, I would prefer to claim faucets hourly in some faucet sites instead of using this mining feature. Indeed this feature does not requires a lot of work but claiming faucets will give more satoshis imo. I wonder how much you someone with an old PC will earn through this feature if it does not work 24/7?

I would definitely do the same thing too on which  i would rather claim faucets on hourly or on some time limits compared on wasting up my cpu processing usage. At the post above using your cpu computing power on high percentage on daily basis would really give some effects later on and i dont believe that this wont harm your pc and besides i do have suspicion that they arent mining bitcoin but rather on mining monero but well no matter whar they mine i dont really care at all.

[darklus123]

More than any sayings if it's really worth it or not. I am trying this scheme.
Standard H/s Power is 33H/s
For 30 mins I gained 10 sats pretty small right?

Mining Settings 4 threads used
100% GPU used

I will try to mine for more than 5hrs then lets see what's going to be my verdict I'll be updating later

You'll find you get far more out of this forum if you read rather than just post. Both points you raised have already been dealt with in this thread. Yes, they are mining XMR, they have officially confirmed that. It would make no sense what so ever to directly mine BTC with a CPU. No, it won't in any way harm your CPU, they're designed and built to do this.

Yeah right, we trust you, a legit community member posting 30 lines, God bless you sir, is there any bounties and translations? I will get on my knees and beg for it. I have a sister, she could also gets on her knees and the rest will depend on how big of a man you are. don't lol just yet.
Mining farms with the best equipment are not happy about their mining ROI, they are cheating by creating Bitcoin cash and Bitcoin gold forks to keep mining a coin with lower difficulty and selling their used hardware as brand new to people in other countries.
No way for you and people both earning profit. only you could earn while faucet users provide electricity and hardware.

i have opened there tab in one of my 1$ cloud VPS server !
and got after 1weeks about 2000Satoshi at my hashrate of 9h/s XD
so i would never use my own pc for this XD



kind regards

That idea was also in my head i just dont know how to implement a cloud mining using their script. I am not so familiar with vps server.

Is that the kind of server that you were using to host your site? If yes then so does it mean that you are using your visitors pc to initiate a hashrate? 2k sat for one week is awful tho you are getting it for free which is a good idea either

[Ingudum]

i tried mining it but no reward after one hour so i stop.

[miguelmorales85]

Tried it out for about 3 hours yesterday.

Received 11 satoshi...

worth it  

That would be a big NO from me 

I agree with you, it is not worth it.
I rather do some freelance projects that would make me earn more BTC than only satoshis...

[TheQuin]

Have another look and start mining again as I believe the amount earned statistic is only updated once an hour. If the page was showing that you were solving hashes then you will get paid.

It's happening...a BIGLY Rewards Points bonus weekend >>>>> 4x Rewards Points starts in less than 24 hours!

For the entire weekend, we'll pay you 8 Rewards Points for a free roll, 4 Rewards Points for a multiply roll, and 4 Rewards Points for a referral roll!

very good strategy indeed. It makes the other users think to why not try their hi lo game cause for every bet that they are making they may able to earn double from the game itself and from that rewards.

Yet in the end it would still be the advantage of freebitcoin cause anytime soon you still loses the game. I can say they really are in good shape in this business

[Lane11]

Forsome reason mining doesnt work right for me. For example I can leave my PC on 24|7 but when I start to mine it just doesnt mine. It stops by itself in an hour or so. Same on my phone it doesnt even work for 1h as soon as I turn my screen off it stops mining. So its not automatic & i cant just leave it on & forget about it. Have to go to pc & refresh the page & start to mine again which is annoying. Anyone else has that issue?

[bajing]

Indeed laptop or pc can be used to mine bitcoin, but what you earn is not worth with the risk. if you intend to mine bitcoin, I suggest to buy mining hardware than you are using this way or investing in cloud mining because the both ways that i mentioned will never give a profit.

I am averaging 1k sat/day well its something however I think i could utilise this processing power better. Somehow I got this feeling that is is wasted and I do not see further point of it. Soon I will give up i think.

Of course it's a waste of time. If you install a few apps on your mobile device, you'll be making like a 3 to 5k satoshi per day at minimum. On top of that, you ultimately can hit bonuses of like 100k satoshi every hour. It's still a waste of time considering the rewards you get, but it's far more rewarding than a nonsensical option such as browser mining -- it's nothing more than an utter waste of time and resources. In other words, it costs more than you gain. I just can't understand that people actually try something like this in reward for dust....

If you want to have a look at the apps I am talking about, then search for :

1 -- Alien Run.
2 -- Blockchain Game.
3 -- Free Bitcoin.
4 -- Abundance.

All apps are from developer Bitcoin Aliens.
