I was just wondering if faucets are actually worth the time and effort of typing in all those CAPTCHAS...
So what is your opinion on faucets?
I tried these half year ago when they gave decent amounts. Now only uBTC, not worth

The payouts fell dramatically earlier this year as $/ BTC exchange soared. I remember very well when Daily Bitcoins's base payout (without lucky prize) was 5000 satoshi. Since March-ish it has been reduced to 1000 satoshi. The continuation of this trend is a sign of the growing success of Bitcoin!

So true, and If you had time and compete for the bigger prices at dailybitcoin and coinad you could make 0,01 BTC daily easily

Faucets are not a waste of time for those just getting into Bitcoin and fishing for free shrapnel. Shame about the transaction fees making this dust difficult to move about, but you've got to pay to play - TANSTAAFL and all.

Yes if you got nothing else to do anyway.
No if you got other things to do, then not worth your time in typing in all the CAPTCHAS.
If you are a good programmer, I would download the CAPTCHAS code in some website I saw, and write a script for doing this for you automatically.

Solving the captchas take too much time and so little rewards, so not worth and not funny

The way I see it, faucet payouts follow price. It may in fact be worth it, especially with the inputs.io faucets that pay out 10k+ satoshis at a time, in preparation for the next bubble. When BTC is worth $1k, $1 per drip is nothing to sneeze at.

I don't think there are sufficient ways to parse CAPTCHAs with bots, not even with decent OCR systems such as Tesseract. The main reason is that they were developed to stop automated bots in the first place On topic: I don't think faucets are worth spending your time on.

I believe developing captcha bot for profit is even bigger waste of time. The task is very complicated and the reward so small...
