Faucets are ideal for members who do not want to mine or which do not have the resources to mine.
You do not necessarily need faucets but they are good for starting with Bitcoin.

but the last people say faucet just waste my time ?? and it's true im still using freebitco.in

And it is. Do it for the fun or for the curiosity. But even after hours, you will end with just some cents. It probably won't pay the electricity costs of maintaining your computer powered on to do this.

There is no fun or anything to learn typing capatcha's and getting dust in a wallet. They would be so much better of even buying 5 dollars of BTC if they are wanting to play around with just a little.

The faucet rate is crazy low, and a waste of time. You could do a much better time learning a service or something else instead of using faucets.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

just to dive into the faucet info more, theres other ways to earn btc.

but yeah most are a waste of time, unless you have lots of referrals like for freebitco.in which is the oldest known one.

And to be honest almost no one but very very few have lots of referrals. With referrals on a faucet yes you would get paid without doing anything, but this is unlikely.

I highly suggest just buy even a few bucks through a exchange. Save your self days and day's of faucet use.

You sound like an intelligent idiot, no disrespect.

Why would you tell someone who has mentioned faucets - OK, OP doesn't really understand - but why tell them to go and buy Bitcoin rather than get them free?

Getting free Bitcoin is completely different from buying Bitcoin. I have thousands of referrals on faucets and have only been using them for a year. I run four faucets and now and probably make more BTC than the OP does mining and than you do with your signature campaign.

None of that would have been possible had it not been for faucets.

I earn at least 0.01 per day through Faucetbox referrals - which at my calc is better than the 1TH miner he's mentioned he's buying.

So many BTC snobs in here telling people faucets are a waste of time, when a single run through iFaucet or LetsGetCrypto can get you $1 for nothing.

Mining and faucets don't really pay off, not worth bothering and can hardly make a profit unless you have hundreds of reffs and own a faucet, and that's also under the question mark.

With faucet , you can learn how to earn and how to use it by understanding it's transaction. Everybody that start bitcoin early were through faucet include me as well. But as we can see that faucet is not worth it very much so don't rely too much

Well, if you don't know what a faucet is maybe you shouldn't invest in mining also.

You should learn a lot about bitcoin and everything about it's formal and informal economy before investing in mining.

Mining is a great way to lose money BTW.

I completely agree .. in btc we have to go step by step to earn big.. so if you dont know what a faucet is.. its better you stay off mining

i suggest sticking to your real life job if you have one, or go apply for one.

then use that to buy bitcoin when the price does fall.

The question is how much do you value your time?

Plenty of faucets only pay out the equivalent of less than one cent per hour. That's fucking ridiculous. Just because it's 'on the internet' doesn't mean that you're not wasting your real life.

If you sell one piece of old crap on Ebay and use that to buy BTC you just saved yourself many, many hours of pointless clicking that could otherwise have been used for learning languages, saving lives, making babies. Life is short. Don't squander it.

If you don't have any bitcoin earning method aside from doing faucets then do faucets if you like. You will grow up soon and will gain some knowledge about other btc earning method. Don't rush take your time to explore in this forum.

I think you're definition of mining bitcoins is earning BTC, am I right? I know a lot of newbies on a local bitcoin group on Facebook that has the same thoughts with you regarding what mining is Cheesy

Yes you can earn with mining but don't use the term mining to replace the word "earning". Anyways in a faucet, you can earn satoshis (1 satoshi =0.00000001 BTC) there by doing small tasks like solving captchas.

Well most beginners start with faucets so I guess you should need one to earn little BTC to start with your journey on bitcoin world Cheesy

Explore also this forum and you'll find more earning opportunities other than faucets. Good luck man!

Thanks for the info! Mhm 3 cents not worth my time.. I am very excited to get my S5 this week! What pool is recommended? I also noticed you can configure the difficulty?

try to not join the pool with the most hash, to spread the hashpower a little, not that it would matter in your case, because your total hash is very low, but still

here a comparison so you can choose https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Comparison_of_mining_pools

you don't need a faucet for mining.Mining is different.for mining you need a better hardware and mining has become unprofitable now.
if you are new to bitcoin then try faucets to earn some.By faucets you can earn few satoshi's every hour.

LOL! Where do you read that? First you shouldn't start mining when you have no idea about that. Second, don't use faucets, they are waste of time. You don't need any faucets in your life.
Read sticky threads here, instructions in Bitcoin.org, do your homework.
