Ladies, mining's back baby, mining is back!

Find the link on the Free BTC page, it'll say:


Mine like a champion today!

I think it is not worth it, for me it's just a waste of time to mine using browser and I also doubt that ut really mines using just a browser but the website has a good reputation so if you are willing to waste your time and electricity bill with just a pieces of satoshi then go for it. I'm just being practical here there are many ways to earn btc out there, you can try those too but mining? Nah  ever since mining is not worth to do

Hey all.
After i tested for few days this new " mining option " on freebitco.in site i can say i'm quite happy about it !

First of all you don't have to kill your CPU because you can choice to bring it to just 80-90 % without keeping it at max and i don't think this way will kill your CPU or PSU not even in long term time.

Second thing you don't have to keep your entire PC open to mine this way 24/7 and consume additional watts. You can just mine this way when you keep it open anyways !
For example in my case i have an i5-3570 4 cores 3,4 GHz (turbo mode 4 GHz) and i mine when i play PC games , or when i work at my PC.
If i play WoW (my favorite MMO game ) witch only take 50 % of my CPU (in ultra details) i will only allocate 30 % to mining and leave 10-15 % free to not overheat my CPU !
If i just watch a movie in HD , or some Youtube movies or i do web browsing i will allocate 70 % to web mining.
If i do some Excel or Microsoft Word work witch only takes a little of my CPU i will allocate 80 % to mining.
And if i leave my PC idle / unattended for 30-60 min i will allocate even 90 % to web mining !

Third about the power composition not being worth please keep in mind that Bitcoins in 2009 where worth $27 each and today they are almost 5k !
So if you believe the price will keep raise like this well then is well worth to consume some extra watts to web mining.
If you think BTC will collapse or go very low some day then you should not mine in ANY WAY !

Fourth for people saying " but you can make a lot more using mining rigs / or using mining programs and consume those " watts " move efficiently !
Well keep in mind that not all people are IT experts or have so much time like others to dedicate to Cryptocurrency and sites like freebitco.in are providing such option to allow ANYONE (even my grandmother who is just using PC only for Facebook / Youtube / Web-surfing ) to get some free satoshis when they do others things as well at their PC (more stuff you do less CPU you will allocate)
If you have more time IQ or time AND more money to invest / risk into this then feel free to mine with mining Rigs or ASICs or more complex programs !  

Fifth for people saying " but there are much better web mining sites providing the same service but giving out better payouts for my CPU usage " !
Then please kindly mention them ! I would be happy to try them out as well
But before you do so please :
a) Be sure they don't give you trojans / malwares / keylogs as well together with the free satoshis =)) !
b) Be sure they allow us to choice how much % of our CPU we want to allocate (not many want to overheat their hardware) !!
c) Be sure using task Manager or others programs and check they don't use more CPU compunction that what they claimed ! (example a site you set to 70 % and they take 80-90 lol!) !
d) Be sure they payout for real !
e) Be sure you are not linking your ref code or i will just think you link it for personal gain only and you din't tested the above a-b-c-d points
We the community can still reward you with a simple " Thanks " (+ you will be happy for helping out?) !
OR if you link your ref code / link then please also provide not photoshopped proofs of points a-b-c-d so at least you will deserve those referrals for doing a detailed research and explantion !

And if you bother to read my post until here , i have a nice tip for people who say the mining option don't show anymore:
Today when i open the site to do my usual hourly roll i could not find the option there anymore so i simply went at history in google Chrome and found the mining link
Opened it and voila ! I can web-mine again And YES the satoshis keep adding to my account !

Thx for reading my opinion !

Friends, I just stumbled upon this thread. I'm the FreeBitco.in community manager for Bitcointalk. If any of you have questions, issues, or feedback related to the browser mining or other services on our site please PM me!

As for the mining, it's something we're trying out in a beta format right now, which is why some of you don't see the option offered.

The value of mining in general - with as minimal amount of investment and risk as this option provides - could be debated forever. The way for it to work best is to allow the mining to happen while you're not using your computer, while you're sleeping. Crank the CPU use up to 100% and check in the morning.

Also, currently we can only update the earnings amounts every 30 minutes. We're actively working on real time reporting, but development takes time.

Any feedback for us? PM me with the subject "Mining Feedback".

Thanks.

No man! I have checked it out. If you have a lot that your PC can offer, you can increase the thread to earn more. The higher the thread, the higher the hash rate.

Now for someone who is just trying it out and does not even understand the implication of over using their PC who has probably been looking out for free satoshis every one hour anyway, may just decide to want to try this out.

That is not worth for me because I really hard can earn even cents with that way.For me it is more easy to earn in freebitcoin.in with some referrals.

will this bad impact to mobile cpus. Experienced over heating while just trying

Here is is my another review about that one. I tried freebitco with four of the devices that are present in my house. Two of them are quadra core smart phones so they give me ability of four cores to be used. Then there are two iPad one is mini and one is the pencil iPad both of them are high end devices with two cores allowed to use each. In anyway all the devices are giving me maximum user of 5H/s of hash rates which is 20 H/s in total. The devices are getting heated up ver quickly so I had them kept near the air condition to reduce that effect. However, the results with these devices and that much hash rates doesn't seem to be worth it as I was able to generate 20-25 satoshi over the hours of period. That's like playing the free roll on the website itself. So it's not worthy for sure as long as you don't fit in high graphics unit to your smartphone. That's a joke really.

I think there is no risk in freebitco sites. it just takes time to get bitcoin. although only slightly but it is effective to add a bitcoin wallet

It won't do such things for sure, and cleaning is individuals responsibility, even not cleaning and using casually can do similar harms. But I don't think it will be profitable enough if cost of running the system is taken into account. But if the BTC price goes up and the rewards is fixed, we may achieve something.
Personally I think if you want to mine, do it in a proper manner as it is done, much better option to go for.

It is true that a lot of dust will reduce the cooling, however, it is complete nonsense to suggest that will fry your computer. It will just cause the PC to ease back the frequency of the processor, giving less performance, or even in an extream situation to shut it down.

I think it's worthless. Because it's like ripping your PC CPU for just satoshis. If your PC is old and you didn't clear it recently, browser mining could literary fry you CPU. Because in old and unclean PC's there is a lot of dust and this is lowering cooling abilities of the fans inside.

I don't know about the minimum requirements but to answer your second question it is marketing. Something that creates a bit of a buzz and gets people talking about. That will, in turn, mean people that had previously not heard of the site may have now.

In order to add those coins in your account, I think we have to reach minimum requirement may be. I think there are many people trying this browser mining but I don't know how can Freebitco.in will benefit from this browser mining.

As per their page you should be credited money to your account every hour if you have made anything. So maybe you haven't yet hit an hour? If it still doesn't show up then just contact freebitco.in support or message wetsuit.


This pretty much sums it up, yeah.

For me the mining option works but the satoshi i earn mining show up in the mining page and they are not credited in my frebitco account for some reason
Tried for 3 days now... 5000 satoshi mined yet none added into my acc...

Guys, I just tried the web browsing mining and I should say its worthless. Its Just waste of time. Its better to mine directly from minergate. The only advantage what I see in this is you will get satoshis credited instantly to your account without much delay. That's it. In my opinion we will get more profit if we use minergate to mine the monero. Basically all these sites use coinhive for browser mining. Coinhive takes 30% as fee for mining and freebitco will take a percentage of what we have mined and rest will be given to us. So its just waste of time.

Got curios and yet interested is this works both Intel and amd procie? If that CPU both have operating temp and will still perform will after using it into mining? After your question now I'm trying to find it out if this will really works and will not affect the performance of my computers.

What is that based on? What makes you think that doing processing will in any way damage a processor? Could you cite some evidence of where that has ever been observed? Processors have an operating temperature range and systems in place to make sure they don't exceed that. The result is that processor will happily function at 100% utilisation 24/7 for many years after they have been made obsolete by newer equipment.

Secondly, if you don't want to believe the site owners when they say that I guess nothing they could produce would convince you. If you're that sceptical then I guess there aren't many services you would use.

I think it will have some impact on your PC performance in the long run if you mine every day. Also what people earn money from this mining is very little and it may be worth to put your PC at risk. I don't know how one can calculate whether what they are getting is 100% of what they mine or after deduction. Is there any way we can crosscheck that part?
