I still have freebitco.in payments coming in every so often. I have no idea why, or where they are coming from. But they add up to a handful of mBTC from time to time. Not much.

You would probably get more if you got a job and then bought BTC with money from the job.

It is true. But if you consider that they are giving money away for free. I must say this is the best faucet ever. |

how long have faucets been around?
were there faucets when BTC was worth 15$?
I want to know, because when btc was still at a low value, faucets probably paid out much higher amounts of btc.
what was only pennies a few years ago would be quite a lot now.
it would be the only time faucets have been worth the hassle and time... I guess if btc goes to the moon there will be some happy present day faucet users out there.
Take for example the following thread, started by giantdragon, in 2011, relating to his ad sponsored faucet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=32532.0. Initially, the faucet seems to have been giving out somewhere between 0.0005 btc and 0.005 btc per hour - definitely not bad, going by today's prices - and I'm sure others paid out even more. By the way, nice leet post count (are you deleting posts to keep it at leet?).

It is true. But if you consider that they are giving money away for free. I must say this is the best faucet ever. But, unless you have referrals working for you, the coins you get from the faucet aren't really free, are they? You still have to pay for them with the cost of electricity to keep your computer running, and more importantly, with your time and energy - time and energy which could be better spent doing something productive, instead of solving captchas for a living. And has mallard pointed out, you would probably be getting a lot more coins that way.  |

You could use the time to make some posts, for example |

If you look at the winners though, they have thousands of tickets, so they likely just bought tickets to increase their chances and it paid off for them |

many don't won't to buy bitcoin, they want to get them for free, i can understand this, it's more funny i think |

I've login to my old account there, and I've played few times for some lottery tickets. Hope that I can win However their payouts (870 satoshis as of the time I was playing) is still not significant compared to signature campaigns here... |

The first ever bitcoin faucet was made by Gavin Andresen in June 2010, and at that time the faucet was giving out 5 btc per IP per day. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=183.msg1494#msg1494According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Bitcoin#Prices_and_value_history, the bitcoin price was in between $0.008 to $0.08 back then. |

I cannot for the life of me understand, why people cannot take 5 minutes of their day to solve a couple of capthas, get some free Satoshi's and use that to possibly win up to 1.7 Btc per week in the lottery?
What the hell, do you have to loose? It cost 0.00000032 BTC per lottery ticket.
I just solved 1 captha and I received 890 Satoshi's .... I bought 27 lottery tickets with that.. It took me 20 seconds.
If you are lucky and you win.... it would mean that your 5 minutes of effort, made you +/- $ 400 US ..... How long do you have to participate in signature campaigns to earn that?

Worth very little these types of sites but if you have a bot with them all working them at once and payments come from them is good. But using a bot and cheating also can get banned from them too.

Faucet sites only good if you have many referrals, otherwise its just a waste of time. Personally for me the max win i get from freebitco.in is 8k satoshi in a single claim

I have been using this while doing other things, and it finally paid off today, as I actually hit 9998 on a spin and won roughly $20. I didn't think that it would actually happen, but it did.

I also hit it once and two of my referrals hit it, and I got some extra bonus income from their hits. You only need to hit the lottery or the jackpot system once, to make up for the time you spend on the site. Let the others moan and bitch about the time wasted on faucets and we have a better chance to win again.  Bring it on.... It's a fun experience and it does not cost me a cent of my own money. |
