Where do I get free Bitcoin? The maintained list of verified free Bitcoin Sites.

[Portnoy]

I've now got a string on unconfirmed transactions from these faucet sites! Anyone else seeing this, and anyone know what is causing it?

This is normal. Give it time.

There's now nine unconfirmed transactions with the oldest outstanding for 21 hours. I assume that after a certain period, the money gets returned to the originator?

I wonder if I've got a problem with my wallet seeing as no-one else is having unconfirmed transaction problems.

Is your client still syncing up? 

You can input your address here to see what it says about the transaction confirmations:  https://blockchain.info

BitcoinForest.com added to the list.

CoinReaper is down, but all of the sites listed there can be accessed from the list here in the OP.

Coinreaper took down one of the hosting servers, but we fixed the code and now it should even be a bit faster.

Coinreaper uses the sites in this thread and any referral payments from the sites in coinreaper goes to Portnoy for his good work on keeping this list. Also, Portnoys coinreaper link has a referral link so he also get some of the ad-revenue.


Thanks for this list.

Thanks for the update.  I often use coinreaper for the address drawn in the newbie lotto. 

I notice that there seems to be a problem with hartcode's entry... don't know if it is
with the hartcode site or coinreaper.

Still not working properly: "Something went wrong, please refresh the page and try again."

Refreshing doesn't help, and they are not answering messages sent to them pointing this out.

Here's my post on the free bitcoin site honeybitcoin in another thread (similar to this one)

Just X-posting

Yesterday the new code optimizations were rolled out and the coinreaper part of the site will hopefully be much faster now.

We have lowered the average CPU usage by 1/5th.
The peak cpu usage has (preliminary figures) been cut down from 80-100% to 4-8%.
This also lead to the number of simultaneous webserver threads went from 6 to 1.


If you see any strange behavior or errors we would appreciate if you reported it in this thread.

This thread is mirrored to the newbie section to allow newbies to post comments, questions, and submissions etc.
Newbies can also enter a free lotto in the other thread.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the list when the new 5430 satoshi "dust" transaction limit goes into effect.

Hey Portnoy I'm relatively new in the bitcoin scene, and what I mostly do is use faucets or other ways to get free bitcoins and I've found your list extremely helpful in that. I have searched on my own and have found some other that are confirmed and not included so you may consider including them. I just go and request several times per day and they have delivered.

This ones are not on your list at the time I'm posting:

The Bitcoin .me --- Blockchain confirmation
Raw Bitcoins .com --- Blockchain confirmation
Senor Bitcoin --- Blockchain confirmation (this one is funny!)
Nioctib .net --- Blockchain confirmation
Green Coins .net --- Blockchain confirmation
BTC Mine .net --- Blockchain confirmation (minecraft style)

What I like is just enter, paste my BTC address and get bitcoins without need to be distracted for a lot of minutes.

Is this something official, a new limit for small transactions?

All this gold dusting for free bitcoins has a drawback - after finally getting enough to play a minimum bet on satoshidice, the transaction fee was 0.0105 on a 0.01 BTC bet!
Fortunately I won the bet    almost doubling my input, so basically the end result was that I ended up where I started, but with the benefit of trading in my dust outputs for a single input that shouldn't have such high fees, the next time I decide to spend it.
