Topic: Does Faucet give real bitcoins every few hours? (Read 265 times)

It amused me that he posted that when we are right here in the micro earning section where so many Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin faucets announcements are existing and many more faucets announcement coming in. faucets still attract new users, it may not be profitable at one glance but some users can do it by amassing a big number of referrals that will help them to earn daily or they can manipulate the faucet by using different IP and device.
In fact, there are still a lot of faucets on Playstore, Faucets are like PTC the only way to increase your earnings is to have a big number of active referrals and there is a market for this, there's also some forums that offer exchange deal for Faucet like inSo yes, faucets are still alive for newbies who are attracted to free Bitcoin

In past when I used faucets, most faucets were hosted at microwallets like Faucetbox or Faucethub. And most of these faucets were displaying how much ballance is available. Like in this image:
 
So, before claiming you knew that you will receive coins. After claim these coins were sent to your microwallet account. There was hundreds of faucets hosted on most popular microwallets, so claiming from multiple faucets helped to reach payment treshold faster than claiming from single faucets which isn't hosted at microwallet.
It's not real Bitcoins and no transactions on Blockchain. It's off-chain transactions inside service. It only becomes real Bitcoin once you request payment from microwallet and they send it to you.

Maybe it's waste of time, I don't argue, but this isn't what OP asks for. And back in past I made some nice money from faucets, especially with help from referrals. While airdrops, it's completely different thing and shouldn't be mixed with faucets.

It is not at all clear to me how people like you even reached more than Member rank on this forum considering that you constantly write nonsense, you do not know how to use search engines and you live in some parallel world where facts are not facts but fabrications.

Given that you say that there are maybe one or two more faucets, why don't you start counting and tell me what the actual number is - of course, these are only those who use FP as a microwallet -> https://faucetpay.io/page/faucet-list

Yes it used to, this was how I made some free first sets of money in crypto, I made a lot of Bitcoin from faucets by turning them into daily job, I run like 8 different Bitcoin faucets per day and some are minutes and few are hour based claiming, it was very tough but I had no choice, there was nothing I could have done as I was already into Bitcoin but I don't have money to invest.

Few months later I was able to save up to $200 to buy some Bitcoin and that was the best decision I've ever made because the coming year at the time was the next bull market and that saved us from big trouble in the family, there is more to this story and I've already shared it in the past on this forum.

Now faucets are not profitable anymore, they don't even exists anymore, you can find one or two for other altcoins but you can't find for Bitcoin and Ethereum anymore, not even Dogecoin, man I made a lot of Doge coins through faucets and still lost them.

These small payouts may be influenced by the ever-increasing price of BTC. And the focus of Freebitco.in is no longer fauchets, but there are several gambling games such as multiples, slots and so on. Maybe the free Bitcoin on the fauchet is just a marketing promotion medium for attracting users to play gambling or multiple BTC on the site.

This time, Fauchet is not a good alternative for getting free bitcoins, besides the high transaction fees, the profits obtained are also small, not commensurate with the internet quota and the time we spend. The Fauchet era is over, this time is the era where you own BTC then stake or earn on the exchange and get apr% for a day, a week or a month or even a year.

In the past, faucets used to give a lot of free bitcoins to a lot of people but today that is no longer the case because the price of bitcoins has become too high. Indeed, if someone wants to earn free bitcoins and going to faucets is actually a waste of time and it would be unrealistic to think that a significant amount of bitcoins can be accumulated from there. Things have changed and we need other ways to collect bitcoins other than faucets. Instead, they should find other ways to collect bitcoins or maybe invest in bitcoins directly.

It all depends on our patience because to some peeps, they don't think the can wait for a very long time before they can withdraw just small portion of Bitcoin with it own interest. Faucets claiming takes too long to accumulate good amount of Bitcoin. This can take ioto several months for us to accumulate reasonable Bitcoin units that could worth our time. Creating alt accounts in faucet website is not the best since you can get suspended once your IP dress is linked to each other. Those who don't have a job or have the time to wait can always try it out.

Latest faucet website still existing is FreeBitcoin.in and here latest current faucet reward claimed very small, I doubt still have existing user are active with Bitcoin faucet because waste their time without worth of reward achievement. Many of faucet supported with one hour claiming and need to spent sixty minute later available for claiming reward and its not easy for user have patience and waiting each one hour for getting reward.

Regarding with 24 time for claiming faucet its not worth and I don't think another website faucet have higher payment values than FreeBitcoin.in because can't trusted and will paid for their user. I don't think good ideas joining with faucet link depend their payment reward very small.

Hahaha  ... Maybe I'm too interested in the drama on the forum to rarely participate in discussions on other boards. btw where I live very few people know about bitcoin so I don't really read news about FTX. Maybe even if I stick my bitcoin key on the front door, none of my neighbors will know what it is and my bitcoins will be fine. But I will definitely read the news about FTX and catch up

Those claims are a total waste of time for me because the amounts are so low. However, it is a free something and free things sometimes don't give us what we need. I know a person that just depends on those kinds of things and he can wait to achieve just those little things he is expecting to get. Such a person can just sit down the whole day just to get those little things he is hoping to have.
For me, I don't think that claiming those airdrops is an important thing. Think about trying to withdraw your claims after a long time you have been claiming those airdrops. That's the moment you will realize that you have wasted all your time doing rubbish.

A waste of time for you and some others, but for people who use that faucet practically from the beginning and have referrals and know all the possibilities that faucet offers (in fact, it is much more than a faucet) it is by no means a waste of time. The minimum reward is not 6 sats per hour, but can be even over 100 sats, with the fact that with each roll you get free tickets for the weekly lottery, as well as reward points that you can exchange for satoshis in a 1:1 ratio.

Besides, where else do you have a chance to win a Lambo or $200 000 in BTC every few months?

This seems to be the case because I have been involved in a lot of them. You only see the money in their platform as numbers and never real money. I think most of them set these things up to harvest personal information of people like emails and passwords. There was one that started sending me threat emails months later. They even claim to have video recording of me doing what I don't know anything about just for me to send them Bitcoin to an address attached to the email.

There were times people got decent quantity of Bitcoin from faucets; I guess those good old days are gone. What we have now is like people looking for traffic and scammers looking for people drain. Just like you said, it is a total waste of time... 5 cents is not even enough to cover the cost of internet and electricity wasted in the faucet.

I do not see much difference between faucets and airdrops so anyone getting involved must be prepared for the outcome.

A bit surprising you haven't learned about all the drama with FTX if you're into Bitcoin.  I mean, its been all over the news and Reddit threads, and it's still a hot topic because of the ongoing trial.  But, even if you don't keep up with the latest industry news, seems weird you'd miss it just hanging around here.  I know we all get busy with life and can't read every little thing.  But this was a pretty massive deal.

Anyway, no judgement if you're just catching up now.  But if you wanna understand what happened, there's plenty of explainers out there.  Might be worth doing some reading on your own so you don't feel so out of the loop.  

I think you have found the right logic that the faucet is giving fake btc to your account. This is clear as there is no delay between clicking the “claim” button and the Bitcoins going straight into your account. Even though it is fake bitcoin but when you have lowest withdrawal limit then they will send real bitcoin to your bitcoin address.

However, working on this faucet is really a waste of time, in the past I also often visited the frebitxxx you mentioned and played the dice games they provided, but always lost and never made a single withdrawal.

From personal experience, the time spent on these free Bitcoin faucets sites is substantially disproportionate to the earnings. It would take an unreasonably many long years to earn a noteworthy amount, making it inefficient compared to other ways of earning or investing in Bitcoin. The only people who get a win are the owners of the sites and they make their earnings by their advertisements.

In short, faucets nowadays are just a waste of time. Unlike in the past, rewards given in faucets have value, but right now, you're the only one who needs to spend money for fees just to claim a small amount of Bitcoin.

Before I started to know this forum, around the year 2016, I was also doing faucet as I was told that it's another way to earn Bitcoin. If you are the type of an individual to have an effort and patience, holding it till you make a decent amount before you withdraw, it's not a waste. But right now, time and effort will all be put to waste.

We cannot say all of them are real, but definitely some are, but for them meeting up with the requirements to make the withdrawal is what becomes a difficult task, because the money you will be given is very small to get withdrawal of, and as for those that promises higher pay rate for each task completed will not reward you because they can't afford to pay such huge amount of money, if you now compare and contrast the two conditions, you will conclude on everything about faucet to be a complete waste of time.


It's not fake in most cases, they know what they are doing, they will offer the amount of money which is unable to perform the transaction fee not to talk of what will be left for you, most people don't know the maths behind this before they rush into it.

If receiving small amount of Bitcoins is scam, do you think a random message about 1 BTC reward that sent to you is real?

The only way you can call the site is scam when they don't want to let you withdraw. AFAIK Freebitco.in will let you to withdraw your coins as long as you met the minimum withdrawal without rollover. If a gambling site ask you to make deposit and minimum rollover, you also can't blame them because casino isn't a charity.

here's a typical example of such web

Several websites offer faucets to users for completing small tasks. I've been aware of this particular website for a few years, but the tiny rewards provided are insufficient for withdrawal. These rewards are not fake but rather smaller units of satoshis. Faucets distribute these small amounts to encourage user engagement and familiarity with cryptocurrencies. The amounts are minimal and might not cover transaction fees for sending. Yet, upon reaching the withdrawal limit, the accumulated amount of Bitcoin will probably combine with other users' amounts to cover the withdrawal transaction fee and then be sent to their respective address.

You are right, it was back in 2015 like you said that faucet is worth giving time because then it pays well, but as time goes on it became very small that I presently see it as a waste of time because before one can claim bitcoin from faucet, you must be a patient dog since the transaction fee is something else.

Exchanges are very funny people because they are always bringing figures that are not in their reach to make people feel that keeping their funds with them is safe, when you will know that it is not true is when that exchange crashes, they wouldn't be able to refund all customers their funds at once. Another way to know is when there is a massive withdrawal from the exchange, you will see that the exchange will now deprive their customers from withdrawing and also place a withdrawal limit on customers so that they wouldn't know the truth.

 Same with traditional banks, have you ever thought that what id all the customers withdraw all their funds at once, the bank will never accept many withdrawals and they will put a withdrawal limit. This has happened to me and I need the funds for an urgent purpose. Not your keys not your coins. The moment you deposit to an exchange, your coins becomes a business coins, and not yours anymore, it is only when you have withdrawn it that it becomes your again.
