Topic: [EDU] Faucet risks - page 6. (Read 85605 times)

Not so easy like you say:
you cannot know in advance if it is a scam or if you are 100% sure it's a scam you cannot know if the scam process has already started.
take my gfaucets for example:
you cannot know in advance if it's scam or not scam...
I'm laughing out loudly whe i hear people talking about...we cannot know in advance...and in few cases it was just ...delaid payouts or technical problems

nice. you have such knowledge..thanks this thread helps a lot for those faucet users...
because of this they can avoid the faucet that doesnt pay and just scammers of time..

BIG +

Wiki:
"Faucets definitely played a role in the very beginning of Bitcoin. They helped spread Bitcoin and generated a part of the early user basis. Giving out numbers of Bitcoin for free was very common back then, since there was no idea about the value of them yet. That has changed a lot since then, and nowadays faucets usually do not give out more than amounts that are far away from any fiat value. Instead, they encourage the users of the faucets to spread links in order to be rewarded and therefore promote spamming."

Intention was to popularize Bitcoin .. what we have now doesn't look nice.. :/

if u are a owner maybe have a risk's, depends if is u only profit.
but, never mind jajaja i love cryptocurrency jajaja bitcoin what ever. it's awesome

Why do you think ever that a faucet owner want absolutly make profit...
For you if a faucet owner gives more than his income...than you are doubtfull.

We need more people with your kind of attitude. Why do some people have to talk down someone, when they use faucets?

You have a great outlook on this... If they want to host a faucet or use a faucet... just leave them to do it. The fact that you are earning a good income, does not give you the right to talk down on someone else. {By you, I am talking about the people doing this}

There are many people out there, who are using faucets as a extra income to what they doing, not as a only source of income.

I have been toying with them, as a fun experiment. {Using it for cheap adverizing and getting micro income through referrals}

Leave the people to make up their own minds.. Do not force your opinion, based on your situation, down on them..their situation might be worlds away from yours. 

only 1 BTC ?

I pay over 5 BTC / month for bitcoinspace.net/freebitcoins

wow am suprised if u own a faucet all u did was shit on faucet owners and try to get free info out of them my faucets pays for themselves no want get rich on them but people like them i put 90% revenue in it  and giving out a bit over 1BTC per month is not low so some people think btc falls from the sky do some mining then u wil see i got my own miners

so you are one of the sucker creating useless faucets  now i can imagine why there are so many useless faucets.

In order to gain a visit in the first two days, I set the amount of more than 1000 Satoshi, and visits to the site for one day was about 30,000.

i think a beggar earns more in a day than someone claiming faucet whole day for pennies.

I think use blakclist MONITOR, i create this proyect, when one site not pay i  add in blacklist!

They could be fake, but who knows? Those sites are really popular and still running with great payout amounts, so they must be making enough to fund the faucet + pocket some $. They did put in a lot of effort and money to get where they are now though, so I'd say they are deserving.

Faucets are a big scammer stealling our time for teeny satoshi,
thank you for you effort

It is..

testing and testing.. I own few faucets from months and i'm still testing.. It is almost impossible to write some calculations because everyday is different.

Keeping good balance between revenue and claims.. it is very difficult and takes time, mostly for that faucets disappears..

For me, a certain limit is 1000 satoshi. If faucet will give you more per hour (I mean minimum) it may seem suspicious. Not always, but for me this is definitely too much to keep faucet alive.

i not long been in the faucet game (5th month), now got 3 faucets running. You could say that stats are hard to beleive on Adbit and various other sites, adblocking must be going on but not yet reviewed it.  With regards Adsense yeah its nothing much to quit your daily job, its hardly anything but still requires me to put a lot up front of money in, I would say on month 3-4 I stopped advertising the sites on adbit etc., but I am just over ROI now including the hosting costs.  It's just a bit of fun.

Care to share your URL, even if it does not exist anymore ?

that is hilarious! how do you do now? are you using different ad platforms?

that's incredible! even with all the time and effort spent getting the url out there and building good SEO its still a great payday. I'm still skeptical though. Are the adbit stats honest, do you think? or do they inflate their numbers to get new customers?

I did blogs a few years ago with adsense ads on them, it took a while to get going but I was eventually making really good money, well decent anyways... at first I made next to nothing, but once I got my traffic up I made around 100$ a day, some days much more. my highest payday was 700$. this is all because i was doing things that are not recommended. I stuffed the highest paying keywords into every new post I put up. I had the highest paying keywords written out on a paper and i would write fictional stories based entirely on those keywords. It was several months worth of a story about a guy attending law school... university...he eventually winds up in an experimental medical facility. It was ridiculous but I honestly could fit 3 or 4 high paying keywords into almost every sentence. it works like a charm. those .edu ads can pay a couple of hundred per click if your traffic is good enough.

anyways, when i started making over 5K$ a month google banned me for life. Apparently their advertizes don't like bogus satire blogs that keyword-bomb like crazy. oh well.

I was missing for some time but I'm glad to see that this forum was finally created. Big thank you to the staff members that stand behind its creation and moderation. Now newbies can have a place to look at faucets in peace and the rest of the forum's members can spend their time here without having to experience the clutter faucets were creating.
