Faucets profitable?

[Dtony]

I have never came across a faucet that is profitable. Back in 2014 maybe, but these days these are just mostly scams. You can even hardly make money in airdrop campaigns, which used to be very profitable.
The whole idea of crypto is being used to take advantage of dumb people to make some money from advertising without actually contributing to the space.
Anyhow, for me, it's a pass 100% of the times.

Check out Parachute if you want to receive a profitable airdrop. I have around 5K PPC that is worth $250

Faucets arent profitable they are just a waste of time. They will only give you small amount of satashi per claim and it will take 5 to 10 years before you can male 1 btc.

Faucet is distributing free coins made by companies that are running. Following this faucet requires a short amount of time. And the results obtained are also small. So for beginners, it's better to follow a bounty program that provides more results.

This is actually a question for those who own them.

I was a reading up on how to start a faucet (just out of curiosity) and it said that the majority of faucet sites are not profitable, I saw a fair few and thought that maybe that wasn't true. Why would you spend time and effort and something like that to not make money.

Are any beginners using them and or has anyone just started one?

I had few faucets in past. They were pretty profitable last years (2013-2015).
But now. Competition is too high and attendance decreases.
So the answer is NO, not now. Maybe in the future (after next bull run)....

Or check out Merit. It’s a mineable crypto currency with a sweet lightwallet that has mining built right into it. You can build up your community and invite others to make a small portion of their mining rewards. I’m earning about 1 MRT a day which is roughly $0.3-0.45 a day depending on the price.

They were profitable, but at the moment not at all.
Btw, the most profitable about faucets is to own your own

I know these 2 still pay

freebitco.in
Cryptotab is a kind of miner but most likely look like a faucet

Faucets used to be very profitable. I have ever claimed up to 20$ from one particular faucet. Due to the volatility of the market, it is very difficult to earn that much lately.

 Faucets is profitable some year ago. But nowadays it is not profitable. You can do bounty  or ICO Airdrops. If you get payment from bounty then you should invest and earn more.  Why are you waste your time?

Faucets aren't profitable right now.. but back in 2010 people were saying the same thing about the first BTC faucet from Gavin Andresen.
He gave 5 BTC per claim.. and it was worth about 0.05$ ..

Profitable if you are an earner of the faucet, in the web there are many guides who to make one and put advertise there, didn`t try by myself but it says that could earn up to 50$ per day passivly

i used faucets, and yes i know they consume your time and effort clicking captcha and everything, but aside from that, i love them, it's my way of keeping me busy when i have no work in the office

and btw, it's 10 months now that i used faucets

You're very patient to keep doing faucet for 10 months. Faucet is boring and cost time but not much reward, how much have you earned with faucets until now?

i think it's a whopping 7$, and i reinvest it in a mining website that eventually shut-down their bitcoin mining, good thing ether is still on production

[boysthanos12]

I won't trust faucets and you won't earn profit in it.

I got $10 worth of doge a few weeks ago from a faucet that I didn’t use for months. It’s now worth just under $30. Woot

They used to be. Apparently a couple of years ago when XLM was getting ready to launch its token, there was a website that you just visit and get hundreds of dollars of worth (NOW) in XLM. however, these days it seems like there is not a single profitable faucet out there. I have tried a dozen and everytime I failed to make anything valuable.
