Faucets sucks..they just hold ur satosis and let you wait for a predermined value as threshold and in the mean time they run off bits..they eventually scam you..
In general, you are wrong. There are several great faucet sites[1] which have pretty low withdrawal thereshold. I haven't heard of any faucet running off though. True that they pay pretty low but they are a great way for newbies to learn about how Bitcoin functions without investing or posting on the forum.

[1] freebitco.in is my favourite.

There are many of them.

If you want USD for your BTC then use somewhere like Coinbase or Circle if you're in the US.

Thousands of merchants take it for payment from one man bands to Microsoft. Check coinmap.org to see if there's anywhere local to you.




Thank you for telling me of coinmap.org. As far it is looking trusted. Thanks again.[/size][/b][/color]

when i exchange BITCOIN in  Coinbase, Circle, Bitstamp, Kraken, Bitfinex, do i have to have an account there with my bank details or to link a card number to them so i receive the dollars? i am from europe, i don't know if they accept to do bussiness with me.

Coinbase and Circle I believe are more based on US.  You will want to find one for your region.  I'm sure someone will post a good on for Europe.

But most likely you will need to use a checking account to link to the exchange. Yes they will know who you are.   

There are some options such as localbitcoin's for those that for some reason don't want to be known, but it has higher fee's and risks.

faucet is a site pay your very very less bitcoin and show the ads, it is a something waste your time, you will spend lots of time but can't even cover the mini fee of transaction

Faucet is a good start for someone who new on bitcoin. WHen I'm new on bitcoin, and I received my first faucet, I was very happy.
So it keep attract me to stick on bitcoin till now....


There are hundreds of faucets out there. Some are valuable the time you spend, some are not.
Many of them are already empty.
I recommend to use a faucet rotater like http://www.btcfaucetlist.net/rotator.php to start.

Other site like freebitcoin, moonbit, bitcoinzebra, coinad ...are look good

hi. what ia sa faucet or a wallet? are they the same? can i have more than one of them or bought? what do i need for entering into BITCOIN world?

A faucet pays you few satoshis as a reward for you to solve some captchas and this varies with different websites.

Whereas a wallet is completely different, it is same as your personal locker where you store and save and keep your money, the wallet contains your private key as well and they store and save your bitcoins, there are number of wallets to choose from according to which it is more convenient for you to use https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Cheers!

but a site i used today sent directly satoshis in faucetbox. i don't know i have to register in faucetbox?

no there is a threshold, but i don't like those faucet without the in-build wallet, i would recommend something like https://freebitco.in/, where you have your wallet in the faucet itself

There are advantages and disadvantages for both. One big advantage of using a microwallet service is that you can cycle through dozens of faucet sites either manually or by using a faucet rotator and quickly reach the payment threshold within an hour or two.


but if all faucets come with this feature(to have the wallet build-in) than there is no need for micro wallet

is there any site to transform BTC in USD? or to SHOP with BTC?

For the first part what is your country you live in?  Depending on country will make a big difference who you want to use.

For example if in US you can set up a checking account to work with coinbase and its very slick.

If you want to earn money through faucets, I suggest you overlook it and instead try to offer services, or sell digital goods, which can earn you much more money than what a faucet pays you...

This is definitely true. Newbies who use faucets should understand that faucets are not a good way to get BTC. If you want to play around with faucets for the experience, then there's no problem with that. I did the exact same thing myself. But in any other setting, spending a whole day clicking on faucets just to make 10 cents is a terrible use of one's time.

There are ways to get more significant amounts of BTC from faucet sites however. If you happen to own a successful and highly popular faucet such as Freebitco.in then you would get a lot of money from advertising revenue. Or if you own a successful blog or website then you can add an affiliate link and get a steady stream of BTC from referrals. But these options are probably beyond the reach of most newbies.

There are a lot of bitcoin exchanges, and they have different features and requirement of personal info.
Some popular ones are Coinbase, Circle, Bitstamp, Kraken, Bitfinex, btc-e and localbitcoins.
You can take a look at http://www.coindesk.com/information/sell-bitcoin/.

or to SHOP with BTC?

You can find a long list of big companies and gift card businesses that accept bitcoin on http://www.coindesk.com/information/what-can-you-buy-with-bitcoins/.

Moreover, even if are thinking of starting a faucet, try to do some research because if you're thinking that starting a faucet and getting 1k visitors a day, and then selling advertisers will make your money back, people are not interested in buying ads on faucets, or they pay extremely low.
Lastly, if you still want to mingle with faucets, here is what i recommend
FaucetBox

Create your own personal wallet at blockchain.info So you will see your wallet btc address that looks like a rumbled letters that start at 1. you can use that address to get few satoshis from faucets. some faucet pays to faucetbox, in faucetbox, your earnings will be accumulated until it reach your payout threshold. After you reach your payout threshold it will be sent to your blockchain wallet and you can now spend your coins anywhere you want
