I invested 0.03 BTC and won 0.5 BTC gambling.

I'd teach you for a cut Smiley

I've made 6 BTC from depositing in around $30.
Lost it all eventually, but it was fun :L

Faucets is probably the worse way you can "earn" a little bit of bitcoin. Anything else using your computer's computing power (you mentioned keeping your browser open) is also a bad idea because as CPU mining has been unprofitable for over 18 months now.

If you have any kind of coding or similar computer skills I would recommend going to the marketplace subforum (services child board) to try to find some kind of work that you can do for bitcoin.

If you're American, get a job (any will do) and link a checking account up to Coinbase then set aside weekly income %s for BTC purchases.

What other skills do you have? When you need money, how do you usually go about earning it?

If you are looking to sell digital goods, some suggestions would be things like airline miles, gift cards, rewards points. It would generally not be a good idea however to use fiat to buy these things so you can get bitcoin because these types of goods will usually sell at a discount when exchanging them for bitcoin so you would be better off buying them on an exchange.

https://localbitcoins.com/

{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".

Work for fiat and then buy bitcoins, is the best way.
If you are lucky you can get paid directly in bitcoins  Smiley

If you're thinking only about making profits, then treat bitcoin like a stock. buy low then sell high. However if you just want to get more bitcoins, you  just keep buying. Sell your stuff and services for bitcoins. Bet your bitcoins if you feel lucky. If you have access to free electricty get a used miner off ebay and start mining, it's still doable and a lot more efficient than using faucets, you can just get your mind off and leave your miners running. You can even try your luck at finding a block, which gets you 25 bitcoins (but only if you solo mine and not pool mining)

there was a browser-based miner that duped a lot of people for a long time (it was just using peoples' mining power and not paying anything). your low-end computer won't get you much. best to sell some goods and services to get yourself some coin. Wink

Get your rank high enough and join a signature campaign. You can sell game accounts or items. But I'd recomend you to join a signature campaign for now.

Forget about faucets, you can only get very little bitcoin from them.
Forget about mining, as you have only got a low-end computer.

You can sell all kinds of goods, digital goods and services for bitcoin.
Just go to an appropriate sub-section of https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=5.0 and make a thread for your goods/digital goods/services.

You have to check the altcoin section daily because sometimes there are coins with which you can earn some money easily, the last one was stellar.
