Topic: Earning BTC in a 3rd world country (Read 6086 times)

OK, I advice you to not to use faucets as after hours from surfing them you will get very few cents only
Try to offer some services for bitcoin and when your account become higher rank , join a good paying signature campaign
That's will be more affordable that faucets

I would look at some  bitcoin click sites and also maybe look at signature campaigns that pay a good rate for posting and earn that way. Also you cold look into bitcoin faucet sites you don't earn much on them but doing multiple ones maybe work out good providing have a lot of time on hands to do but their far better ways like click sites but mainly a lot people use signature campaigns. If you wanting to get into it with own funds then simple bet to buy some read up on it find a good price to buy at and learn some trading and start small get use to the filed and then learn to increase and profit and gain more bitcoin for the future.

I don't know if I agree with students.   If your talking about getting pennies per hour... that is small for most students.  Even in third world countries I would think students have things better to do then get a few pennies a hour at most.

No matter how you justify it faucets do not pay enough for amount of time.  Unless you can live on a very few cents a day.

Its either their wage was so small or they no have job at all. There are a lot of unemployed people here on our country and I find most faucet users have no job in real life and they choose to play faucets than browsing Facebook and YouTube all day Some were also students looking to get extra money online in their spare time.

I think you are wrong on parts.  Some of use realize a dollar a day is HUGE in some places.  You could feel rich in certain third world countries with very small amount of money.   

But faucets bring cents per hour at best.  Even in third world countries if you make 5 cents a day for a 20 hour day faucet run... that is not to good.   Faucets just pay horribly.

I am in the 3rd world country and I earn bitcoins by trading , doing some mini jobs and by joining signature campaign. if you really want to earn bitcoins you have to work hard no matter where country you belong.

Try to join signature campaign and post constructive posts daily (don't spam) and you will earn some profit, don't matter what's your country

First welcome to the Bitcoin community !

Second there is no problem to earn online even if you are from the 3rd world countries, this doesn't really matter, because working to earn Bitcoin online is depending with internet services and as you have this service in your country you can earn some profit with the Bitcoin currency

That's because their hourly wages are so small that even that 0.001 BTC matters. Most westerners don't understand that in some countries 1USD per hour is a decent wage.

Hmm, I'm from a third world country and I am a witness of newbie bitcoiners that were addicted to faucets. They seems like dedicated to it and post their respective (micro) "earnings" on Facebook (on a bitcoin related group). I once saw there's a proud faucet user that he earned 0.001 BTC in a week (and he seems happy with it) When they already earned something like 0.001 btc or above, they start posting on what "investment" site they can invest and grow their precious satoshis. Some also do gambling on casinos, but mostly they want investing on HYIPs/ponzis.

Faucets were gold to them.

Faucets are cent's per hour at most.  Why suggest a person go into faucet?   I don't see it making any money.

Can you show a faucet that gained even 3rd world earnings?  And if it did.... how is gambling going to help?

You can try to start with faucet, once you have earn good, maybe gamble ..

solo mining? wow that's challenge yourself at all just like playing lottery but there are like 100 numbers on it dude but you can try though

You could review on your on wordpressblog on the internet and write articles to get btc.
You also can easily challenge yourself by Mining them on your own. There is a big amount of help here in the Forum and it will work if u want to

Anyways what are your interestings in the BTC ? You want to earn Money with this or is it anyways just interesting for you?
Would be great to know

These new ways to steal missing blocks  

At current level it won't be a huge profit for him.  It's really at full member he will see a good bump in pay for signature campaigns.  I suggest use the first few ranks to learn and make sure to be constructive on posts.  It later on will lead to you getting into better signature campaigns.

Also your posts will not be judged as hard as your learning by waiting.  If you add signature if your posts are very short, one liners, or other things it can lead to a temp ban. So just know that before you jump over. Look at meta they are doing a pretty good job of showing examples in a few threads of some that post just for higher post count.

You should join signature campaign everybody here in the forum is doing it.

I also earn a small amount of bitcoin.
I don't know what should I need to do to earn more.

Internet speed is depends on the network which are using and How many people are connected in that network. for example the connection which is having max 20 user in that 19 people are connected means it ll be work in slow speed only. and europe and middle east countries are using 4G and more level connection. So they ll have high speed. and recenly google planning to launch project LOON in all over the world. project in progress. soon it ll come to world

First you gonna need a good English (for sure lol) and some knowledge about coins. Then start joining signature campaign to earn some (low rank member may not earn much), if you got some skill, try selling your skill for BTC. However if you are good at trading try trading coins that have potential , playing around with ponzi or if you have hash power, try being a early-comer in new coins and dump it when it came on exchange (just for money, not support anything)

buy some little by little

If I am not mistaken, electricity on third world countries were so expensive. Just like here on our country (PH), electricity was very expensive. On that note, its not profitable mining on third world countries unless you have free electricity Some miners here use illegal connections (tapping on neighborhood's line without any permission) just to make a good profit

well it depend on your electricity and how much you can spend as initial investements

if you have the money there is a good opportunity right now with the s7 to have a nice profit

If you are in a 3rld world probably not, unless you have solar panels (pretty usful in africa) or have few 1000$ to buy ASICS.

If you thinking about PC mining, forget about that , thats useless now.

TBH i dont think mining worth anything good now a days. correct me if i'm wrong :/

Yes okay. Each miners you have open up a connection to the pool, and those all use a small amount of bandwidth. So instead you point your miners to your home's proxy, and only the proxy talk to the pool. So small or big farm won't use more bandwitdh, the combined difficulty of all your miners might become 10k or 100k, that way you will have very little shares to discuss with the pool, but you will still get your full hashrate.

However this isint very important unless you're on dialup-like internet. But all in all, my whole farm only take a couples kB/s of data so, not a whole lot. I guess it would be different if i had 25 or 250 miners but i dont.

And correct. You can use your cellphone to tether its internet connection for your miners. It works fine here.

I am also from pakistan. You should have to try some bitcoin forums. You can also earn from like signature campaigns but you should have to improve your activity first. 

The one of the easiest way is by joining the signature campaign.

Connections are generally really good, but, I don't know why, I'm really unlucky with internet. Always got poor and shitty connections ... This could come from the fact that I'm quite far from my box (around 20-25 meters and 3 walls between us). But even with this I got a 4/5 signal but I still have a bad connection. My friend that live 2 streets far from me have a 50 Mb/s connection ! I live in big avenue, so this could come from this .

PS : Right now I'm at 260 Kb/s ! This is my maximum for monthes  !

Seriously man? I thought internet connection on western countries were much faster than us on third world countries. And also 1-2 Mbps was the max speed I can get and only happens on midnight to dawn, but on average day I also only get up to 200 Mbps. Still yours was more shitty than me

Yes, that's quite weird. But tell me, what did you mean when you said : "you could also setup a proxy on your home network and then submit everything with one connection" ? I have already only one connection, but maybe I misunderstood ?




I think when he said that he meant that you can mine with a PC or an ASIC using a cellphone connection.




Guy, if you say that connection is slow with 1-2 Mbps, test mine : 10 kb/s power ! Even if I come from France, I have a REALLY shitty connection, that crashes when it is saturated (which happen really fast with such a connection ) ! Sometimes I go up to 200 kb/seconds ! But it most of the time only the night, so not really useful ...

Are you referring to the internet connections on 3rd world countries? You're  right especially here on our country, we had a slow internet connection and yet expensive ones. Personally I used to pay roughly $22/ month with a speed of up to 1-2 Mbps only. Its somehow a hindrance when searching and browsing on the web but I already managed to get used to a slow internet connection, though its quite hard to look for earning opportunities online. I'm glad there's bitcointalk.org where I earn with sig campaign and it doesn't require a high speed connection

i would prefer to posting for sig, than mining with a cell phone, you will pay tons of money, from internet connection, if the wi-fi is private and plus the battery will die quickly, not to mention you will stress to much the cpu

unless you can buy a dedicated smartphone, which is cheap enough, to try the mining, and anyway there will be no profit

That is weird, i do not have that issue. I have some miners on slow wifi as well and beside occasional short disconnects, their performance isint impacted, they have the same hashrate accepted on the pool side.

And ethminer is a pain, there's tons of thing that make it crash, so annoying. Had to change antivirus for one.

Also if you have super slow internet speed you could also setup a proxy on your home network and then submit everything with one connection. That way you can have a big mine using nearly no hashrate.

The only problem is that you lose a tiny bit of time when you submit, so on fast block switch or in the event where you find a block at the same time as someone else, then only you are penalized.

If you mine on a pool it should not really be a problem either way. Since BTC itself has very slow blockchange rate, because of the average mining time.

This is really the good thing about bitcoin. Everyone is equal no matter where you came from and earning btc is challenging especially when you have the skills and knowledge in doing so.

I find that internet connection matters in mining. Everytime I launch ethminer to mine Ethereum on Suprnova, I lost my internet connection, that come back only when ethminer has been closed.

You can mine on poor cellphone wifi connection so i don't think mining in such area with slow internet is really all that much of a problem in the first place. And sadly the discrimination of earning, or well at least mining Bitcoin is well here and its called your electricity costs.

The only other thing i would consider as BTC earning is trading it or investing it.

The other things you can do that input your times isint particularily BTC specific.

Posting here+ offering offline services like photo editing doesn't require a high speed internet. You can also offer btc for goods services , and many more, not everything requires a good/stable internet.

I dont think they even had good internet right?

That bolded part was basically me right now I mean I am earning more with bitcoin than any part time jobs for me here on a third world country and it's not that easy to get a job here while with bitcoin, it's very easy to look for earning opportunities with it on the internet. Sig campaign was one of the best ways to earn bitcoin right now.

Guys, and OP listen here.

Bitcoin is wonderful because it doesnt discriminate upon where you live. Now the individual earning sites might do that, but if you trade with people here in the forum or offer services yourself, you can earn unlimited about of bitcoins yourself.

One method I personally know of is altcoin trading. Today you could have made 267% gains if you traded VCOIN, at Yobit.

Check my signature for more info.

i agree about that. like here in my country we can live with only $5 a day and i know one country that a dollar will give them food for a week

Very true, in some country, you can live very well with a few dollars a day, Sad to say but living on this forum could give those persons a nice life quality in term of financial income.

i think he asking this because he need to earn a serious amount of coins, seeing how he come from a country that is poor and do not offer a proper living, maybe with bitcoin he can earn more than in RL

Do you use any altcoins?

Great story kababayan So basically you are living with bitcoins right now? I hope one day I'll be like you earning decent amount of BTC enough for your studies and daily expenses Maybe I should also familiarize my self to trading I became more inspired when I read your post, thanks!

I'm from the Philippines which is considered as a 3rd world country. At first, I didn't actually want to earn bitcoins but rather study it for educational purposes. It just so happened that I saw this thing that they called 'signature campaigns' and asked myself why don't I join one since I'm staying here browsing this forum for almost a full day? That's where I began monetizing my posts and earn bitcoins. After that, I familiarize myself with trading and now, I'm earning a decent amount of bitcoins enough to fund my studies and my daily expenses (and my future, too, if bitcoins do good in terms of price)

I don't get why your country matters in this situation. If you work for Bitcoin you get paid Bitcoin. That's unrelated to your country.
If you earn Bitcoin from internet you have very high chance to earn more in national currency than your citizens.

my friend is pakistan , he earned bitcoin from his own service, he is a designer by the way and he also sell vps, i always buy cheap vps from him, i think bitcoin is helping people from pakistan since PayPal is not offering its services in Pakistan, i always help him to convert his balance from paypal to bitcoin although it's so risky

Try http://www.cryptogrind.com and offer your services in exchange for Bitcoin.

We are like Fiverr but our users pay using Bitcoin.

I think working for Bitcoin is the easiest way to earn.

We have already had success with users making Bitcoin by writing blog articles and making videos etc.

Advertising on cryptogrind is free.

Good luck!

Agree. If you do not have such skills you also could try to write blog articles, register for paid for click sites like coinad.com or btcclicks.com to make your first Satoshis. Those sites accept all member, no matter where you come from.

You should because nowadays thats the only thing that keeps bitcoiners interested in bitcoin.

The price isnt high anymore so it doesnt attract that many speculators/tradders, most of newbies now want to earn some sort of income.

It usually does not matter which country you are in to be able to earn Bitcoins. You are already registered on bitcointalk, and seem to be in the 777coin signature campaign at the moment, which is a great start. If you have a skill in anything, such as designing logos or websites, then you can go to the Services section of the forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

Fiverr is pretty hard to get your name out now and days, and will take someone being willing to give you "a try" to see if you can produce a valuable service that they deem fit.  Now it would be nice to get fiverr to implement a "get paid in bitcoin" feature to spread the word about bitcoin, but for someone just trying to earn some bitcoins, fiverr probably isn't the best option...
unless you have some revolutionary never been done before service on there that a lot of people will flock to fast.

List of 1000+ Altcoins
https://www.cryptocoincharts.info/coins/info

I also came from a third world country. I started with bitcoins with taucets, can't hardly get enough coins from it so I invested some of my money to buy my coins and did some trading. Made some from them and then I started signature campaign in here. Made a lot of coins from it and I've been saving it until the btc price goes up.

What I am trying to say is you need to first have an idea what bitcoins is. Know the basics and then with it you will know where to start earning your first coins. You can't expect to get free money. You need to invest in it. Not entirely mkney but also your tome, you need to dedicate yourself to fully understand how the thing works. If you want to grow your coins fast, invest some of yoir fiat and then go to tradig but first as I've said know how it works. You can also try sog campaign here. It lets you earn free coins while you are learning.

you should also try to convince fiverr.com to allow withdrawals by sellers in bitcoin.  they just started accepting bitcoin for buyers so allowing for sellers may be next.

then you offer your design services there and get paid in bitcoin.

the world is moving in this direction anyways so help move it for your benefit too.

And you pay something like 12% in fee. Then you pay for a poor exchange rate, for example when CAD to USD is 0.76 paypal give you 0.73. Overall Paypal is a extremely expensive way to transfer money and its why Bitcoin is so special. You can do it while ignoring all the bureaucratic loops that will take all your money.

of course send money super fast anywhere in the world is good, but also whit paypal you can send money everiwhere in the world whit a internet connection,

a couple of things to do and keep in mind before doing anything else:
1) learn how to secure your bitcoin. look up things like "cold storage"
2) remember that when you send bitcoin, there is no charge-back so there are a lot of scammers out there gunning for your trust.
3) use escrow.
4) don't waste your time with things like faucets, double your coin pinzi schemes,....

p.s. can you sell bitcoin to fiat in your country easily?

You can bro in services section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0 you try join in sign campaign the more you have a high rank the more you earn. Then if you have  some knowledge or skill of design or related on the web you can post a thread in services about your skill price of your service. just  go there you can much better if you have some skills. gudluck

Welcome to the bitcoin world man! I am also from a third world country (Philippines) and earning bitcoins is big blessing for us especially for a student like me. I also started from scratch and all I do is participate in this forum from the start , until I knew about signature campaign where I can earn with discussing in this forum. But its not recommended for a newbie like you participate in such campaigns. Right now all I can suggest to you is to explore this forum and also the bitcoin world.

"Stop asking, Start exploring"

No sorry, the tool isn't so perfected that it can detect grammar and syntax quality   ! It just calculate the percentage of post that have more than 75 caracters.

for newbies, i don't recommend signature campaigns yet, learn about bitcoins first, learn how the forums first, read a lot of posts here because if you start right away with signature campaigns, you will end up creating threads with questions that was asked already like "how to earn BTC" 

Ah very nice tool! I'm not sure what the criteria are like... Just length or syntax/grammar/orthography too. But i guess this give a good idea of where you stand in term of chances of getting accepted in a sig campaign.

Here's a sample output;

Also sometimes Bit-X recruit a tons of user in one batch. Like i think Marco recruited like 10 in a short time before closing signups. Timing your application may be worth keeping an eye on the thread as well.

About Bit-x, be sute to post mainly on Bitcoin and Economy boards or you will be denied (like I was). Also, if you want to have a quick overview of your post quality, try this tool : http://www.bctalkaccountpricer.info/. Just enter your UID (User ID) and it will tell you your potential activity and the most important your estimated post quality. To know your UID, just click on your profile on one of your posts. You can also go to your profile, and then click on "Show general statistics for this member." and the number at the end of the URL is your UID.

We are starting a coin project and if anyone would want to become a part of it our plan is to connect North America with Asian, European, African, Australian and South American efforts in order to create a new kind of Coin Community, complete with new hardware/software development, based around Bitcoin and various other coins.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--1204912

Bitcoin and altcoin mining should be done with block eruptors in order to maximize output for input of time, effort and electricity.

Check out my signature, I think it tells everything,

You can earn tons of bitcoins if you buy the altcoins at low price and then wait for them to go up. Yobit is a good place to start with ultra cheap altcoins.

The beauty of Bitcoin is that it gives the equal opportunities to all of its users, no matter are you from the 1st,2nd,or 3rd world country. It costs the same amount of money to send from Pakistan like it does to send from the US. This is something that current financial systems are just not offering.

The same is for earning, where ever you are, you have equal chances of earning some satoshis. All you need to do is check out your earning options and start earning.

Good luck!

Best way to earn BTC is sell your service,  it can be done here or somewhere else. If they pay you with Dollar, exchange it to BTC. Visiting sites/faucets is usually done by beginner but in a week you will get only $1-2. Therefore it's not recommended.
There's also signature campaign, but you have got to have knowledge about Bitcoin and this forum if possible.
Good luck.

I live in a 3rd world country i am fairly new to the bitcoin scene but i do earn a small amount of btc by designing avatar and logos some tip for my work others not that polite.

there are many answers from your question at here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/best-way-to-earn-bitcoins-1006151

The forum is the same, no matter where you live. Just read one of the how to earn BTC or how to earn money online threads

Maybe this is not a preferred way but I am telling because it is one of those which can give you the possibility to have bitcoins. You want to start with bitcoin. Firstly you need to read and understand as much as it will be possible about it. A good source it is Wikipedia. There are to many articles and threads there that can help to know everything one person want to know about bitcoin. Without the base knowledge about it you will not be able to "exploit" fully it. Nor to be able to protect it when will need to do this (if).

Then you can try with faucets with give some satoshi but that are nothing. Every beginner begin with those. If you want more and will have knowledge about it you can be active here in bitcointalk and with time your rank will be greater and you will have the possibility to participate in signature campaigns and earn much more. And at the last, but that can be the first way which can give you some bitcoin, is to buy some of those (if you have the possibility). I can suggest as a very safe and good place to buy bitcoin virwox (do a search in google and your will find easily this site).

The last one way is to find a secondary job and be paid with bitcoins. Even here in bitcointalk it is possible to find such kind of jobs. But this depends from your skills (which I don't know) and from your ability to "sell" those.

fiat is legal money, like usd, euro, gbp, etc..., you can call them centralized money, bitcoin is decentralized money

don't exchange your precious btc for trash toilet paper, let it grow first and then use it directly in the future to buy anything

i would recommend to do the opposite, exchange toilet papaer(fiat money) that lose value every year to bitcoin, that is gaining value every year

I think Goudar here is proposing visiting faucets. My favorite are moonbit.co.in and freebitco.in

The best way to earn btc is to go to many sites and collect free btc everyday.

Fiat is a general term meaning "your country's money".


Just one correction here, getting paid in a signature campaign isn't "free", you earn the payment with your time and knowledge. And remember that posts that don't contribute to the conversation will quickly get you banned from the signature campaign or even this Forum - there's little tolerance for spamming for money.

With that said, signature campaigns are a great way to earn a little bitcoin on the side.

Can you please explain what you mean by exchange BTC in fiat money? kinda confused me and i never heard this term before either :/

Many 'first world' countries are on the same level - if you taking into consideration bitcoin infrastructure - as 'third world countries'.
There is not need to panic. To fully utilize bitcoin you only need wallet and ability to exchange your bitcoin to FIAT money.
I checked and it seems that in Pakistan you have at least 1 bitcoin exchange, you are good.

http://www.coindesk.com/pakistans-first-bitcoin-exchange-launches-community-building-ambitions/

...as long as you have access to the internet and this Forum. (Which it seems like you do!)

A signature campaign is a great option for you - it'll take time before your pay per post ramps up but you can get started now. Faucets are a decent idea, see a link in my profile...they won't make you an income but it IS free bitcoin.

Thanks a lot man. i'll definitely look into those topics Thanks again.
P.S: i started Graphic designing from university just now. I dont think i am good ATM but soon i might be able to give designing services too. Thanks again

Easiest way is by joining a signature campaign here on bitcointalk. you get paid for posting, check them out

Alright I will try to explain with a simple way so you can understand , first you should understand and you should know that members are ranked you are a Newbie and I'am a Senior member as you can see .



As you can see here , Newbies aren't allowed to do some stuff and have max characters on their signature , and this rise with each Rank-up .


Signature compaigns basically gives you a BBCode to put in your signature that's redirect to their service/website , and logically they don't let Newbies enroll because newbies can't put much stuff in their signatures , however Senior members , Hero members etc ... signatures are so visible and people can see it and that's why they pay them better then others .

Please see here the ful llist of the signature compaigns and what ranks they accepts and the payouts aswell : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/overview-of-bitcointalk-signature-ad-campaigns-last-update-01-jan-23-615953

Most of them pay per post , let's say a signature compaigns pays 0.001 per post weekly , if you do 100 posts you will end up with 0.1 BTC / per week which is pretty decent since it's free and not too much efforts . Just make sure to not spam otherwise you will get banned

I did read a few. I guess ill just have to spend more time here and collect info. btw can you tell me about the signature scheme thing earning?

It doesn't matter much where do you live honestly , as long as you have a good English and enough knowledge about Bitcoin you should be ready to go however you will need a little investment from your side . (Let's say 0.17BTC or above) which you should buy as a start .
Once you do that , head to the Digital goods section and buy Senior member account then enroll on a signature compaign that pays well (make sure that the account have good quality of posting then enroll on signature compaigns like Bit-x which pays per constructive post) .

Now if you don't want to invest , you will need to have some Skills to start with (e.g Photoshop , web developer , Mobile apps developer etc ..) which are needed and you will get a lot of customers if you are good on what you are doing (Post your services on "Services" section )  I guess you should have some skills ,from what I saw on Freelancer.com most of people are from Pakistan and Indian Feel free to ask more questions if you have any .

Have a look around in the Beginners and Help section, you will find a lot of useful threads there. At least read the sticky threads

Hello everyone!
i am new to BTC. I am from Pakistan and finding it hard to start with the BTC. Any useful information how to start from scratch if i am from a 3rd world county? Thanks a lot in advance.
