My point being , there's so many other much more profitable ways to be earning bitcoins can someone explain to me who the people using these are ? and why.

Its obvious that they want to earn some extra money by using faucets.

wouldn't some people have botnets too to get a little extra bitcoin from faucets? i'm sure some bots would be able to crack capthcas on some of these faucets. i'd imagine they'd make a good amount of bitcoin by running a botnet on bitcoin faucets.

I dont think thats bots can solve the capthcas. its impossible

Earn extra money using faucets ? ,the points is they'd earn more money stealing from the poorest people alive Roll Eyes

Well, it's a great way for newbies to get their hands on their first satoshis. Also, if you manage to somehow get a lot of referrals, you can get a decent amount.

a better way is to sign up to a campaign , and at the same time be able to actually learn something new at the same time , at a faucet you simply type random captcha's

You would make more at a faucet then at a newbie signature campaign, so that's why newbies go to faucets.

newbie's can earn 0.00005 per post , which i belive is more than any faucet out there ? if not , please tell me which

Easiest answer ever.

Who uses Faucets and why?

NOOBS, because they're uninformed. You get more money checking your couch cushions for change.

this is kind of what i think aswell, i do understand why someone would use a faucets 1-2 times though , but obviously since faucet owners are profiting there has to be people spending hours after hours typing captcha and i can help but feel bad for them would be awesome to get one of them in this thread :>

I just don't understand what does the Faucet get out of it? Is it for advertising purposes?

yea , they get publicity to their website ( domain goes up in value ) and their getting income from adsense , etc

just so you guys know, I have already earned over 0.30 bitcoin from faucet referral commissions in the last 6 months. It was not hard work and it continues to pay me daily. It's great to help cover some of the transaction fees and it pays for my hosting. Cool

People that say faucets are a waste of time and just lazy with no unique ideas. Wink

Good luck to all and let's make the bitcoin community bigger.

Alright , how did you get those referral's ? if it was with a signature , you could get atleast 1-2 btc in 6 month time making it a waste.
and im mostly , talking about the newbs using the faucets i understand why faucets keep getting made etc , i just dont understand whom the people using them actively are

Beginners at bitcoin who don't know better. After few weeks they realize what a waste of time faucets are. But buy then there are new beginners to take their seats :-)

I'm with you bro. When I got into bitcoin (price was $11), I looked at the faucets and saw that people are spending a lot of time to hunt down 3 cents worth of Bitcoin. I asked myself the question your posing. I've decided faucet users are either clueless, living in a country where 3 cents is worth something, or basically ... children.

How many children come on here to debate I wonder. Roll Eyes

I'm glad I didn't waste a minute on that crap, and instead went into my storage closet to see what I can sell for bitcoin. Best decision I ever made. But hey "there are reasons for and against faucets"... yeah, right!

Not, there aren't many other alternatives for most of beginners.

In the services forum there aren't so many works, and most of them are PHP related.

I dont think thats bots can solve the capthcas. its impossible

There is bots which can solve simple captchas such as recaptcha's captcha. Solvemedia, Minteye and areyouahuman captchas are even better. But there are bots which takes specific captchas from websites and will give to paid captcha solvers(humams).

P.S. If you want to look for yourself, go to browser extension/plugin store, search for captcha solver and install it and open a faucet which has recaptcha. Solvemedia may not work.

hmm thats great information Grin

thanks lol i will try if there are few sites so i can use that bot
but what is recaptcha's?

thanks

It is currently a captcha service provided by Google(http://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/) it was originally developed by another team before acquired by Google. Google use it to digitize books and for Google street view to determine location.

AFAIK, no automated bot can solve recaptcha at all. If bots are detected, they will just increase the difficulty. Even if OCRs are created, the accuracy will be very low. Most of them are just human captcha solving services. Solvemedia involves the user to click on the screen which can be abit complicated.

Not exactly as there are good signature campaigns for newbies too and one can make more than they earn in faucets: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0;topicseen

When you keep posting here, you can achieve the next status soon and then can apply for a better signature campaign.

Yes, but like someone said, newbies are sometimes unable to make constructive posts, and the only way to truly understand bitcoin is to send some around. Newbies make 60 satoshis per post in a signature campaign every 4 minutes. (Due to the time limit, newbies can only post every 4 minutes) While faucets give 100 satoshis or more every 30 seconds. Newbies might make an account here, but they will also go to faucets, as faucets have better pay then their own signature campaign.

Also, in future, quoting someone elses post and editing it looks weird. I look like I'm making a point to myself, lol.

Many people on my country have many alt accounts on a faucet, about 20-200 each person. They make a script/macro, then they earn from it massively.

i don't think it is possible, or at least not possible with those numbers (20-200 accounts) because faucets will not pay the same IP in one time period and also i doubt if someone can change IP 200 times!

i can categories people who use faucets like this:
1) people who just started with bitcoin (like me back then) and what to see what is what and learn a bit.
2) people who can gather a lot of refferals in a way that it would be worth the effort
3) people who don't know how to use a calculator or their time is worthless
