$0.00082 for watching 120 seconds ad - it's probably least effective way to spend your time. I can't imagine how they can find people who complete such tasks. Just imagine how many such videos you have to watch to earn just $1.
I remember back in time avarage PTC website was paying $0.002 per click, while tasks had decent rates. Though, highest paying tasks weren't available in 3rd world countries.

Indeed. I don't know how many people still complete those PTC offers, but at the faucet list page we can see how many users are paid daily, and how much in dollar the faucet has paid on the day and on the week. The most popular faucet seems to be one called Vie Faucet, with a total of 5069 users paid today. The data says this faucet paid 717,53$ today and 462,07$ on the week.

Another popular one is Coinpayu, displaying 1138,56$ paid on the week to its users. Surprisingly, even though available profit to be made is minimal, there are still thousands of people accessing these websites in a daily basis, moving another thousands of dollars in a weekly basis.

Maybe this traffic is heavily influenced by bots too, who knows...

I was looking faucetpay's tasks yesterday. Their best PTC task offers 0.00081 USD for viewing an ad for 120 seconds. That is much worse than it used to be ten years ago! And add this to the purchasing power of dollar which decreased a lot since then. I remember in previous years we viewed a simple ad for 10-15 seconds and were paid 1 cent or at least half cent for that.

Another micro tasks are available only for first world countries. For everyone else it really doesn't worth. I thought about grinding those playstore games on spare time through Cointiply, but the rewards are ridiculous. I think a same game task pays better depending where you live, though.

It is almost impossible to find any alternative means to earn tiny BTC for doing simple and easy tasks, BTC has grown so fast and is now more and more expensive, as a result of that micro earnings are almost worth nothing and unattractive, plus very difficult to even find any.

Without faucets, how are micro earners making online income in 2024? Are there new opportunities available?

I think this sub-section of the forum could have so much potential, like being a spot for sharing and discussing another micro earnings alternatives which go beyond faucets. Something like that sub-board of Reddit called "Beermoney".

Nowadays, people have to get good knowledge of BTC and also get a skill, in order to earn BTC without buying it with their money, that's even far better than micro earnings, because you can earn a lot depending on how good you are, what it requires is time and the willingness to get better at it.

There are always newbies starting from zero who could be benefited by this, and even old adopters who want to have some fun grinding money online through alternative methods.

In recent years this board is pretty much dead. So, I assume that in general without few exceptions there is no good micro earnings methods. Otherwise probably we would see something actively promoted here.
Seems that now newbies aren't getting introduced to Bitcoin through micro earnings like in past we used to get into it through faucets.

I'm still looking for some trust faucets website. Could any one give me some advices?

You're welcome to use our 20 faucets. We've been live with them since 2017. And here's another interesting fact about those who claim that faucets are waste of time:

https://x.com/cryptosfaucets/status/1799084226169704478

If you for instance joined our BNB faucet when it was launched (July 2020) one single roll in the faucet would pay you $2.70 in today's value. And back then it was hourly, free, so in 1 day you could have earned potentially $64 free of charge, just in one day.

Faucets like CoinPot that linked their crypto to USD and didn't save their crypto in the same coin took a huge hit. We fortunately were able to sustain our faucets with this approach.

Is it likely that BNB will reach $7,000? Who knows. Binance is slowly becoming a giant just like Google. The sentence against CZ in the US shows how much Binance is valued in the eyes of others.

The thing is faucets are still a possible way to make something out of nothing, you take 0 risks and have lots to gain. You can see a full list of our faucets here:

Were there faucets that paid 1BTC (or several bitcoins) at once, because I didn’t catch that profitable times?

Tell us in a little more detail, how much bitcoins was given on average per one-time action and per month?

Oh no, I started few years too late to get such generous rewards

.
When I started with faucets rewards were like 500-1500 Satoshi with timer usually between 5 minutes to 1 hour. Maybe it doesn't looks impressive considering Bitcoin value back then. But there was so many faucets and claiming was so easy that it didn't took long to make some significant amount of BTC. Captchas were easy, there weren't many annoying ads - most of faucets were monetised with Google Adsense. Though, I remember already then people were calling it waste of time.
And when I started promoting my referral links, my earnings from faucets were higher than what I was getting from signature campaigns. Managed to get quite a lot referrals. And I can only imagine how much owners of most popular faucet lists were making from referrals because they had thousands of them.

Yeah, I miss these old good faucets, memories about it gives me nostalgia from my early years in Bitcoin. I not only got introduced to Bitcoin through faucets but also made really big money from it. It got my initial capital in such way and didn't had to put my own money into Bitcoin.

In later years faucets started to pay something like less than 5 Satoshi and when they have 30k Satoshi payment treshold, it can take year to reach it. Doesn't sounds very attractive.

At Bestchange faucet, the accrued payment varies between 1-100 sat., which, in principle, is not much different from the 5 Satoshi you indicated (on average), because I personally have only seen two-digit numbers a few times (that’s my level of luck), but for actions that require 10-15 seconds of your time (at once), it doesn’t look bad. You can save enough for withdrawal in about a month (minimum limit of 1000 sat.).

Obviously, it is not possible to earn much capital on modern faucets, and this can be assessed as a small activity to accumulate a symbolic amount of satoshi.

Faucet things are now " Good old days" type of thing now. At that time BTC was in early stage and have less users. So faucets offered new users some free sats and encourage them to use the network. Now you can see it came mainstream making it no need to promote plus high fee thing in transaction make faucet almost unconvenient.

It's not just about mainstream and introducing new users. Only few first faucets were about introfuction and weren't commercial. All other faucets was attempt for owner to make some money from ads. When revenue from ads didn't covered expenses, faucets died. Also, big factor is high Bitcoin value. In later years faucets started to pay something like less than 5 Satoshi and when they have 30k Satoshi payment treshold, it can take year to reach it. Doesn't sounds very attractive.

I have been away from Bitcoin for quite a while.

This is going to sound ridiculous, but I never stopped using faucets. I found 6 or 7 that I really trusted, and I kept on claiming from them. I keep them open all day long while I'm working (I'm self-employed, not ripping anyone off), and when I have time, I claim from them.

They have all got a fair amount of satoshis in my balances. But now what do I do with them? I have just discovered that my BlockChain wallet won't accept money from TPPPs, which I assume includes my faucet balances? Maybe even FaucetPay. Can I actually spend Bitcoin on useful things?

I'm glad Bitcoin has become so main stream, but I do miss the days of being able to type your BTC address into a random website and then *POOF* some BTC pops into your wallet. I should have listened and kept my coins off the exchange but here we are. Just happy to be back in the space again Cheesy

I miss faucets so much either. They were simple, clean and fast to claim. You just needed to solve a captcha (which didn't take longer than few seconds), click the claim button and the satoshis were already sent to your wallet. There were 5, 10, 30 minutes, hourly, 6, 8 and 12 hours faucets. Two faucet runs a day and you were already done! 100.000 satoshis in your wallet without a high of effort and commitment! It wasn't that much in dollar prices back then, but pretty enough to start a solid journey in crypto universe from zero for a young person full of energy, willingness and optimism!

Then we had the "investments" opportunities, which ended being scam ponzi and hyip schemes aiming to steal the money from the micro earners. I remember losing money to those fake cloud mining services, which generated income in real time or once in a month (I think there was one which paid every 3 months as well).

Oh, but the faucets were so good, and there were so many of them. Some were pretty original and unique on their features... I will always remember about those days with a lot of nostalgia.

Hmm, it was a pretty good day. Tongue

I remember pretty well that there are many faucet sites that give some Satoshi per capita. This is really one of the best memories for me, My crypto journey also started on these Capta Or and Facut sites. But time is a matter of time, at that time we used to be happy by selling even at a low price. But today it is not like that, every small amount of satoshi also gives you high value.

But anyway, there is no use in taking it now that it would be good if Bitcoin was at a low price. My brothers who were going to buy Bitcion at that time, that is, those who were serious, grabbed Bitcoin, and even those who believed, did not hesitate to grab Bitcion. Buying Bitcoin depends on the user's desire to buy it. In the previous bear market, the weak hearted people, when the price of bitcoin reached $15,782, those who were opportunity grabbers filled up their bags and those who used to make lame excuses started making excuses. So it depends on you that if you are serious about Bitcion, then you will definitely grab the opportunity and if not, then your job is only to regrate.

What year is the BTC faucer profitable? Maybe when the price is still low the fees are not that high? I didn't experience any memorable faucets when it came to getting sats.

With faucets, people almost don't have to do anything too heavily so what they spend is only their time.

Profitable faucets? All faucets are profitable because you don't spend money for faucets. If you have time, claim faucets. However if you spend too much time with faucets, and don't have time to do other things which can help you to gain knowledge, get a job, receive salary, it's not good.

What I know from a person only needs to roll once every hour, if you are diligent, the sats from the faucet will increase a lot.

It's just a one click claim so it doesn't take much time so anyone can still gain knowledge with other jobs, unless there is a heavy task to do in claiming the faucet but I don't think it's heavy that I know.

Let this be the past for those who feel it.

Do you kept your Bitcoin on exchange and something bad happened? Your Bitcoin is safer in your Bitcoin wallet than the crypto exchanges, they can get hacked at any time or the team can decide to do some very bad things behind your back like FTX did.

Bitcoin faucets lasted very long, it's been years since I last claimed some free Bitcoin through faucets and I don't even care to hold, I normally sold after few weeks to subscribe for data plan and this always keep me online for a month at least.

There was a faucet that gives 0.3-05 BTC every 4hrs after solving it's captcha, those were great early days of Bitcoin, and it happened because Bitcoin value was very low, to claim Bitcoin faucet today isn't going to get you anywhere and I even doubt if there is any Bitcoin faucets running till now.

I do remember the faucet days and how much I have read that it's not so worth to do it continuously. With the price of BTC being so high, I think it's still worth it you know? I think that's how it can be but we cannot change anything now. It's best that we move forward and buy BTC continuously now.

Yeah, I miss the faucet too. Back when Bitcoin prices were still very low, I played the faucet to get free satoshis. At that time, it was very easy to earn 100k satoshi and collect it in our wallet. And when we had collected a lot, we could sell it at the price we wanted.

It was a very pleasant past experience that allowed many people to accumulate a lot of satoshis. The faucet allows them to learn about crypto in more depth and collect other coins. This allows them to continue seeking profits from crypto because the coins they previously earned can be sold, and they can start trading.

We can only remember those memories as memories from the past. But we should keep trying to have more Bitcoins. Make it a memory that we can remember forever.
