Topic: Free Faucets with Payment proof - page 5. (Read 9511 times)

I tried to deal with this offlist but that is not good enough for BitCoinDream who no doubt thinks I am being evasive and
trying to hide, what he considers, my scamming.

I started the newbie lotto 'partly' to keep the Free Bitcoin Sites thread active and on the first page of posts, sure,
big and terrible crime right there folks. Me and others have always felt that thread should be stickied to have a trusted
place which lists verified free bitcoin sites for newbies... I have already explained why I think this is the best way to
protects newbies from scams and to keep the forums more spam free.

It was/is also is good way to give more freebies to newbies, using their address in my daily checks of these sites rather than
using my own address. Like I said I am not trying to get rich by collecting the fractions of pennies one gets from these sites.

This post, which I have to re-post from time to time, explains what I am trying to do with the list:
What good is it if one only gets very very small amounts?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1088930

There are not many free bitcoin sites that give out non-dust amounts anymore which I can use to give a daily payout to the daily lotto winner
( most sites now require one to build up a minimum balance over time... and so that doesn't work for a daily lotto. )
But there is still one site owner [ a, perhaps, rare free site owner that cares about helping newbies more than trying to
make a quick buck ] that set up a form for me to use just for the lotto ( I won't post the name of the benefactor or the url
for that form to keep someone else from finding it and abusing it. I can tell the mods if they deem it important ).
So the daily winner will always receive at least 0.00013 BTC.  

Like I often say that is not much at all, but it is a free draw and the better thing is the Bonus drawing which I do once a month
or two. Every entry in the newbie lotto is eligible for that.

This next link below kinda explains the genesis of the bonus draw and what can be expected if one wins:
Khal donation:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1582471

And I also emphasized to BitCoinDream the details, which can be seen in the OP of the free bitcoin sites thread, of
the sponsorship thing.


To repeat, a sponsor can only be a site which would be in the list anyway, and what they give to move their site to the top goes into the bonus draw.
( does not every newbie who checks the list go through the 'whole' list rather than just using the top link? )

I welcome anyone, like I did the author of this thread, to go through the posts of the free bitcoin sites thread to see the tx details of all the bonus draws.

If the moderators have a problem with me having that sponsorship thing, with the proceeds going to newbies in the bonus draw, I will end it and pay back the BTC to the current sponsor.

If the moderators of this forum have a problem with me using referrals links in the list, the proceeds of which again go into the bonus draw, I will end that.

If the moderators of this forum have a problem with me running the newbie draw I will end that too.
( I keep my own record of the amount in the bonus fund. 1.8480 BTC currently. That should keep the bonus draw going for a while,
unless the mods want me to end that as well and give that money to some charity or something. )

The moderators are also free to delete the whole Free Bitcoin Sites threads if they don't like it or think I am doing something wrong.

Is this good enough for you yet BitCoinDream or do you want to dismiss 'this' as crying foul as well?  

@Portnoy There is no point in crying foul. We clearly understand why you run your newbie lotto. Unless you can post your blockchain Tx details of last 3 months lotto winner, the simple inference that comes out is you are a SCAMMER. You lure people to post against your freebie thread and get paid by faucet owners for top listing. The following statement is taken from your thread...

I didn't bump it, even though one is allowed one bump per day, which I may just use since you are being like this...

I am not allowed to respond to what people post?  

And why are you posting this here if not to push this post up?

Portnoy stop bumping your thread PLEASE

I have been here since mid-2011. Lurked for a few months before joining. And in that time I have seen a lot of scams...
more than I could count... The mods take care of a lot of them but they can't go and check out all the sites that people
offer links for. My interest is in helping Bitcoin users, especially newbies, try to avoid all that by maintaining a thread
on this forum ( which as I said is watched over by not just me but the mods and everyone in the community that
wants to participate, and there is a lot who follow the free Bitcoin sites thread ) where people can feel reasonably safe
in trying the system out... getting a few non-dust satoshis to add to their new Bitcoin wallet or account.

Of course it is not all unselfish on my part. Helping out newbies and making sure they don't get scammed and turned off
of cryptocurrency helps out the whole Bitcoin economy, of which I am a part.

I post in threads like this 'not' because I am trying to build up the satoshis with referrals ( which doesn't add
up to very much, but helps me keep the newbie bonus draw going, along with the occasional donation ) it is because
I feel we don't need more than one free Bitcoin sites thread, and if we have one it should be one that is proven due
to the long time it has been here and the scrutiny it has received in that time.  

It can get confusing to have a lot of threads doing basically the same thing, and it is not always easy to know if
some new thread that pops up is on the level.  I am sorry if that upsets someone like the OP of this thread
who himself is perhaps only trying to help. If he or anyone wants to help newbies find the best Bitcoin sites and
to avoid scams etc. they are free and welcome to post in that thread.

I like to feel it is not my thread but the community's.  

Believe me I have been buying Bitcoin since I heard about them in June 2011...  I don't need the money.  
But I still want to see as many people get into as possible. I firmly believe Bitcoin will change the world in
a very positive way.

Thanks

No, having the link in your signature is perfectly fine, I'm guilty of that myself..lol

It just seems whenever a person posts their own list / website, you post your standardized,

copy and pasted reply, warning them away from "copy cats" and redirecting them to your list.

No, I have never come across any malware from a free list, but yes, like I said,

I come across the occasional scam, there are definitely many out there.  

I'm sorry I didn't look for tx details for the newbie draw, I was just going by what the OP said,

my mistake by doing that...  

A watched over proven list is good, but it's not as altruistic as you make it out be, with all the referral links.

I'm probably just jealous of all your free advertising...  I will drop the subject.

Having a link to the thread in my sig is pimping?  Having one thread that has maintained and verified links and is watched over by the community and the moderators helps protect newbies from all the scams that take place regularly on these forums and elsewhere. You never encountered malware or any scams? I would suggest you haven't been checking free Bitcoin sites as long as I have.  

And about your other point, as I said, I offer the tx details of every newbie bonus draw after each one happens.  

None of the sites in the Free Bitcoin Sites thread* pays out dust. The list is checked everyday and If any site has changed and is now paying dust it is quickly spotted and removed from the list.



*See my sig. or the newbie version is here:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/free-bitcoin-sites-90718

I don't run any of the sites in the list. 

The referrals in the list are not spam. Spam is people posting the same links over and over in different posts through out the forums here. This list has been here for a very long time ( one of the most viewed non-sticky threads on these forums ) and because it is here, and has built up the trust of the moderators and the community, we don't need any more lists of free Bitcoin sites. The list helps keep down the spam of people continually posting their own lists of free Bitcoin sites.

For a long time there were no referrals as part of the list but it was the community that suggested I include them. Many people have expressed their thanks for this list since it helped them get into Bitcoin, and they thought, I suppose, that I should get something for the time I put into maintaining the list. I thought, why not? The very small amount of BTC I get from these referrals goes into the Newbie Bonus draw, as part of the newbie lotto. I post the transaction details of these bonus draws when they happen.

Yes, for every unique email ID and bitcoin address, they pay once.

You are welcome
Yup, the white paper is definitely a good read

Thanks...  

Still learning my bitcoin, someday I will read the white paper.

"A minute to learn, a lifetime to master."

 

When you send your bitcoin, the tx fee is based on your tx size (in KB) rather than the amount of bitcoin.

You may be happy to see your wallet balance goes up for receiving a dozen of payments every day, but you will eventually find that it is not economical to spend those dusts.

Why would you bother to pay that transaction fee at all? 

Just have the dust payments sent to your wallet,

doesn't hurt anything, clutters up your wallet a little maybe.

The dust adds up in your wallet, same as using an exchange or gambling site...

So to save some tx fee.
If you try to spend those dusts, you may need to pay more tx fee than the dusts themselves.

But, if you use a deposit address to collect those dusts, and withdraw the whole balance when you get, say, 0.01btc, you only need to pay 0.0001 for that withdrawal.
Instead of getting thousands of dust inputs in your own wallet, you only get a piece of 0.01 bitcoin tx.

Why would you need to?

It annoys me too... especially how he talks bad about all the free bitcoin website lists.

I have never encountered, malware or what not, on one of these sites.

An occasional scam being promoted, well yeah, it happens..lol 

He pimps out his thread in every free / earn bitcoin thread he can

with a standardized post warning others to stay away from "copy cat threads and websites".

He takes a holier than thou attitude, about others having only have their own interests at heart,

but then uses the referral links in his thread. I would like to see the winners of that newbie lotto,

probably a way to get the multiple threads bumped, not at all positive, but proof would be nice. 

 

You could use a deposit address on exchanges/gambling sites to receive those dusts, and send a consolidated payment to your own wallet every once in a while.

But don't get me wrong, I do agree it doesn't worth the time to play with those faucets.

Thank you for this list and for payment proofs.
The third one, freebitco.in is my favorite. I am even using a service to get referrals, already at 15 with total earnings of 0.00026478 ;P.

@Portnoy I am NOT actually interested to see your post in my thread and it is good if u remove your post from here. Before I say anything about your faucet list, i.e. actually full of referral SPAM, I would like to see your Tx details on blockchain.info which shows u actually paid in last three months for newbie lotto.
