Topic: Ethereum Faucets Gone Scam? (Read 8094 times)
I found this list of working Ethereum (ETH) faucets http://bitcoinfaucets.info/ethereum-faucet-list/ I'm using this site for some time now and it seems the list is updated weekly or so. Most faucets listed here are paying through Faucethub some pay directly to your wallet but it takes a very long time to reach the payout threshold.
I found one more.. Here is a new Ethereum Faucet which works: http://ethereumfaucet.net/
10 Minutes / min. withdraw 0,05 ETH. It's a new but payments are high..
I hot good on it this morning and now I went back to try again and it says my account has been suspended lol what some crap that makes me so mad10 Minutes / min. withdraw 0,05 ETH. It's a new but payments are high..
No way! I already have 180000 ethereum there!!!!
Its always better to use faucets that pay instead to your wallets. If not so , choose a faucet whose owner is very active in the forum , so that you can ask him if there is any issues. Epay was the only microwallet that supported ethereum faucets . Now it has turned into a scam. So better to use faucethub microwallet. But it doesn't have ether faucets.But you can use other altcoin faucets and get exchanged in a exchange if you want ethereum.
I mean, I already have 0.00180000 eth on free-ethereum.com!! Nooooooo hahaha

And then what the hell you necro'd bump this thread?~snipped~
Or they can't manage their faucet because laziness and lack of traffic I think, this thread last active on 2016 and we didn't know Ethereum's price on that day. If i need etherum to send coin i just buying etherum.
Easy method to get Ethereum quickly. i think accident same with bitcoin faucet
bitcoin price incraese high many bitcoin faucet is closed service or reduce reward
same with ethereum, ethereum price incraese high, so many ethereum faucet lose because owner not get return
yes buddy, you are right. If the price increase, faucet owners will find difficulty to manage the faucet and eventually it turns into scam. or if they dont have enough users also, faucet owners will get no profit and lose interest and they stop managing their faucets and finally it becomes scam. I think here its the second option.bitcoin price incraese high many bitcoin faucet is closed service or reduce reward
same with ethereum, ethereum price incraese high, so many ethereum faucet lose because owner not get return
Due to the rally price of Ethereum, some faucet owners close their faucet for a while, obviously to reduce the rewards and to update a new set up. Last week, I visited some faucets site I used to claim but the balance of their site was empty. I don't know if they retrieved their ETH to be hold and wait for the price to increase more.

Has anyone been paid by these faucets recently? Usually payments were sent the next day and now it's been quite awhile since I received one. My guess is the price of ETH soared and the site turned scam.

And this site was supposed to pay on the weekends, yet I haven't heard of anyone getting anything and there are no proofs on the site. Also today my balance zerod out yet I didn't receive anything.

Anyone have a different experience or can these sites be labeled scams now?

It saves me time and effort I was about to join here and be active seeing that ethereum has become a huge coin in this past few weeks,I am still on the search for the good ethereum faucets it's better for this faucets to be escrowed I don't trust faucets who do not escrow
They never are in the end it is always the same. With most of these so called "faucets", you probably spend more on electricity using your computer to surf them than they payout.
A couple of years ago faucets were what they claimed, a way to give out a few bits of a coin to help spread the word about that coin and to help promote adoption, now they are just a get rich quick scheme for the operators.
So while faucets may be good for a chuckle, or to teach someone very new about wallet basics, etc., at the end of the day they are doing more for their owners than the users.

True, the only exception to this I think would be if a user has a bot to scrape bits from various sites without much effort on their own part. This is probably why many faucets have been attacked by bots as doing them manually is mostly pointless.
The failure of faucets as a distribution paradigm is an important economics lesson.
What it teaches us if that users only do a mundane activity with no value to obtain coins, then they don't value the coins very much either.
If we want to distribute coins to users and have them place a high value on them, then either they must expend their money (e.g. ICO or cost of PoW mining) or some other way they can express value through an activity.
The design of my marketing plan hinges on this observation.

Yup same here, not getting anything from them recently. Expect the rewards to be way less once they come back.
Well you were right. Payments started again on the main first 2, but the payouts are WAY lower. Almost to the level of what a bitcoin faucet would pay in number amounts, though btc is worth MUCH more than eth. So those faucets aren't even remotely worth the time.
