Topic: Free Satoshis? BTC "Faucet" In 2023 (Read 215 times)

Bitcoin has become expensive, and finding free bitcoins from the faucet these days wastes time. To make it more practical for people who want to own bitcoin, the only way is to try to make money and use the money to buy it. Don't get delusional about earning free bitcoins from the faucet without doing anything.

the most trusted faucet-turned-casino right now is freebitco.in You can get up to 200$ every hour you claim.
that site even has a lottery where you can get a LAMBORGHINI if you win

Faucets weren't worth it back then and they are not worth it now. It's irrelevant that the value of Bitcoin increased, because only value at the present matters. You can earn more fiat money with the time you waste on faucets, buy Bitcoin with that money and when it will go x100, you will be a millionaire rather than having some $1,700.

And for those who want to see the original thread, Get 5 free bitcoins from freebitcoins.appspot.com. And Gavin even give someone 50 fu***ng BTC tos someone who found a bug.  .

But as times goes by, faucets stop because of the abuse. But then the first used case of BTC, gambling sites, started to implement it, but still up to this day, many users are abusing it so their account getting ban. So most likely this will be the case here, although as per computation by the OP it's just a chump change, but we shouldn't underestimate the greed and the imagination of these abusers.

Not to burst the bubble, but yes, I agree that Faucet's now is a waste of time. It's not we are still in the pre-2017 era wherein faucet was a good source for earning small amounts that could turn big in the future. And as soon as those who created faucets saw that it's going to be not a effective promotion or marketing or whatever reasons they think they can get from it. They simply stop, and then the period of scams follows, like you need to reach certain amounts before you withdraw, or just collecting data from your PC and other reasons why it become useless and a complete waste of our time.

I honestly really like that BTC Mag is doing these kinds of promotion deals to be paid in SATs for some light reading work. Not too shabby. Definitely useful for everyone, free sats are free sats ,and I don't have a lot so I think I may have to take you up on this offer hahaha

Wow, that's huge if we look at the price today. Ofcourse nobody knew back then that the price would increase so much.
Even if we would have been there we would have probably sold it during the previous price hikes.
But if and only if we could have saved even a few bitcoins then it would have changed our lives for good.

Instead of using that faucet site, I prefer Freebitco.in. Although the chance of getting sats is lower than those faucet sites, I still have a chance to get RP, WoF rewards, and I also invest in FUN tokens.

In addition, the rewards from the faucet on Freebitco.in are varied. If you are lucky, you can get bigger sats. You can also get sats from WoF as an extra.

But using a faucet to generate free sats can still be used for people who have just joined bitcoin. So I guess people may still use the faucet to generate free sats but should know that it takes a very long time to collect a lot of sats.

Absolute waste of time. I don't believe there's one person who is seriously making a living out of solving captchas and reading texts.

Let alone the energy and time he spends himself...

Nope, neither for that. For experimenting we have the testnet.

If this faucet worths or not, it will depend on how long it takes until you can claim your daily quota of 210 satoshis. If it takes few minutes I think it doesn't worth. Back then, on the early years of crypto market, faucets were worthful because they could be claimed instantly. You didn't take more than 5 seconds to claim few cents from a faucet, as you just needed to solve a simple captcha and an easy anti-bot test.

For people who can't afford the orange pill yet, there must be more efficient methods to acquire the money needed. Even begging on the streets seem a more convenient alternative than faucets nowadays, which lost their viability after Google Adsense banned their ads from this kind of website. Google Ads was the main income of faucet's owners, which allowed them to pay decent sums of satoshis to users.

5 Bitcoin from a faucet was a very large amount, probably now, it is 5 Satoshi.  
Bitcoin faucet is a good idea but it's not profitable because not enough advertisements can generate a reward for site owners, who can pass profits to faucet visitors.
Gavin's faucet was a faucet based on donations and it was a non-profit faucet of course.
Today, only profit-oriented faucet's still exist.
Only centralized shitcoin developers can afford to run an non-profit faucet and running such a faucet should be mandated per law.
Every centralized shitcoin who doesn't offer such a faucet, should be shut down.

In 2023, we can confidently say that the time for faucets is over. Now there are a lot of ways how to buy crypto and for almost any amount, moreover, I think many people around or people who are fond of crypto have appeared who will tell you where to buy crypto. There are a number of disadvantages in the method that is indicated in the starting post, the first is that the amount per month is simply scanty and there is not even a 100% guarantee that it will be possible to pick it up.

Considering the reward from this endeavor, one might definitely feel discouraged because there other online jobs that can pay more than this. One can easily perform some of these online jobs and use the proceed to buy Bitcoin. The cost of internet data in some areas is even more than the benefits of this job, making it very discouraging. But it will be a good job for people that are interested in learning about bitcoin.


I have siblings that spend almost all their spare time on social media engaging in unprofitable discussions. Some of them spend hours just watching movies and other leisure, this might be an opportunity to engage in something profitable that might be more beneficial in the future.

I concur and it's True, Faucet systems are designed to encourage certain behaviors or actions and trying to make money off of faucet systems is not wrong but I don't think it's probably worth the risk. Some of the faucets also have pop-up ads which increase the risk of phishing attacks and I suspect it's very possible to be conned and do nothing, so it's not worth the effort.

Nowadays, faucets are mostly a waste of time. They can be useful for testing sending a few satoshis between wallets or for other experimental purposes, but they are definitely not a good source of earning money. You will definetly end up wasting your time and electricity imo, It is better to find another source for earning BTC than relying on faucets.

In addition to that, I think some sites provides small tasks to do pays much more than faucets do, that would be just a slightly better than faucets imo.

5 BTC was worth nothing back to then, but I wonder if some of those luckiest people still holding those BTC from this faucet till now lol  

This is correct also apart from the payment of faucet been of no substance, some of those faucet organizes go the extra mile demanding that it’s participants refer other and the more you refer the more your funds increase which is true you see the funds increasing and you keep on referring but trying to withdraw you get the sad truth that it isn’t possible.

Also some of those faucets goes with ads that pops up while you are on their sites this also is another risk you are exposing yourself trying them out also with various news of how Ads are stealing from people using phishing tools.

In general you may not earn, you work in vein and there are possibilities of you getting scammed of your own money. It is truly not worth it.

The very small amounts the faucets give is not the only problem. One has to also be careful with the withdrawals because if your wallet has a lot of inputs it can become very expensive to spend or consolidate them.
Plus it's not uncommon the faucets not allowing the withdrawals (hence scam).

I will add that I don't think that trying to earn from faucets worth the money one would spend on electricity for the device he will use for browsing there.

PS. If one is paid for reading/learning, it's already better than the rest though.

This is good though, atleast, for fact that it involves reading and not the previous process that involves solving captcha, this is really a miserable way of earning sats in those day, and the worst of it all was that, at the end of it, your withdrawal request might end up not being processed, and there is no body to hold or complain to, was indeed very miserable...

For this particular one, it is a win win for the faucter, since it's like you are being paid to read, we again knowledge by reading, so even if at the end of the day you were not able to withdraw the earned sats, you still have what you've learned through reading, with you, as your gain.

Yeah there are people that make a living (or try to) collecting satoshis out of those things. There's still a few around. One of the ones still going is at freebitco.in.

Of course nothing will ever compare to this, the first and grand-daddy of all faucets:


Whats cool is you can see an archived version of what the faucet used to look like:



Of course it was abused and emptied before too long, LOL.

I originally made this post in the Portuguese section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5450493.new#new) did a quick search in order to check if there was a similar topic, but this couldn't find, sorry if there are already something similar ongoing

Regarding the faucet, well, there's no free lunch. In this case, you'll need to exchange (an email address) and a few minutes of your day "reading" news for your desired BTCSatoshisBTC.

How? Log in to the Bitcoin Magazine app using my email address + the code received by email > Each news article has a value in Sats, which are delivered to you when they are read/scroll through.

Link: (https://www.bitcoinmagazine.app/)

How much? In the article I saw, a cap/max of 210 sats/day is mentioned, which is approximately 6000 Sats per month, equivalent to 1.7 USD at today's exchange rate. (kind of meh, I know, hence the "faucet" in the title)

BUT! It can be a good path for those who still can't afford their first fractions of the orange pill, or even for those who want to start exposing themselves to the asset meanwhile learning about it. I found it cool and quite inviting.

NOTE: It's worth remembering that BTC faucets used to be "miserable" when converted to USD, but who never thought they could have gotten rich from faucets? I'm not saying the same will happen, but to help with future abstraction, if BTC does a 100x and reaches around $290k, this monthly trickle will be worth $170 or almost $2000 USD.

PS: I haven't tested cashing out yet because it requires a minimum of 500 sats. I didn't find anything really negative about the online app, and it seems that the wallet to receive your BTCs needs to be compatible with the Lightning Network. I also don't know if they ask or will ask KYC for withdrawals.

OH! The classical ones: Not your keys, not your funds / DYR
