Profitable? Depends on how much profit is significant enough for you to consider it profit. Note that you’re getting bitcoins for free for just clicking on some buttons, so don’t expect much from such websites.

Believe me, i startet from the bottom and now i regret the time spent on faucets. I could have used that time to better educate myself about cryptocurencies or create a powerfull social media.
My advice:
-get a facebook and gain a lot of friends/followers
-get a twitter and gain a lot of followers
Start joining bounties campaign on social media...it will be a huge difference in gainings!

But can you still gain even though you don't have quite the followers but your post on a group page could reach a lot of people.. Still not enough?

If you have high paying faucets with thousands of referrals, it is NOT.
For user - maybe a waste of time, depends on how much free time you have 
For faucet owner - it can be a solid income, once you are able to generate a steady traffic like 50-200k daily

I don't think so.. back in 2015, i claimed on a faucet called btc-flow, and i made 0.356601 BTC in a few weeks
Back in those days, it was about: 85$ .. not that much for claiming many times /day on a faucet.
Many people were saying that faucets aren't worth it back then too..
But.. how much is that today?? : 1426 $$ ..
Back then single claim from one faucet gave you enough satoshi to cover fee. Back in those days, it was about: 85$ .. not that much for claiming many times /day on a faucet.

But.. how much is that today?? : 1426 $$ ..
Tell me, how many times do you have to solve captcha to pay fee now?
1000X?
And more bitcoin price goes up, less rewards are given by faucets, so if bitcoin reach $40K faucets would probably pay 1 satoshi(IF) and you will have to claim 30000 times to pay fee - you will actually work for fee.
I agree it is really waste of time. but sometimes i am using faucets. for example if i have 5 free minutes and nothing to do, i claim some satoshis from faucets. 
I don't think its a waste of time. Though there's a lot of faucets that doesn't really pay but you just need to have some research. It's still a good extra income which you can do when you have free time.
A good extra income? 0.10$ a day means a good income? It is a real waste of time. It doesnt worth wasting time with faucets. In that time if you read a personal development book you will earn more than that. Faucets are real waste of time even if you have the whole day free. Better watch a film or do something better instead of completing captchas for hours

Exactly, I agree with you.
Well, people can say "You could get a job in 2015 and earn much more than 85$ and buy Bitcoin with that". But it is just not the same. Sometimes one cannot do more paid work, or has already posted as much as reasonable in signature campaigns. If BTC is for the long run, and it is, what you faucet now can be worth it in the future.

Its a waste of time. It's best to spend more time on the BTT forum and learn from others.
Yes, I think is a waste of time.But, all newbies must passed in that path to build their own way in that field.
So it depends on the person if he/she will /not do it now i get t
It really is a waste of time. I saw somebody said in this topic that istead if drinking and smoking when you are bored better use faucet. Why not watch a film in that time? Why not watch a usefull video? Why not read something? It will help you more and using faucets and wasting time
For you as a simple colector ,yes it is. Maybe for a well known faucet admin it is profitable to have a faucet.
Anything people will say ,faucet will never worth the time you spend. You work like an our to collect every website ,for what? Maximum 0.2$. You better read yourself a book. It will help you x10 more

I really think the faucets are really a waste of time but others have no choice but to do it first theres not many reliable faucets that can make money fast second theres a limit to how you can earn faucet im not discouraging anyone but to me faucets are nice i takes a hard work and patience to do it some people dont know the value of making your money hard i made this because someone told me that faucets are just a waste of time
I dont think faucets are waste of time, you just have to chose which faucets you should claim and there are many good faucets which are paying a decent amount. Actually faucets were introduced because they are a nice way to introduce people to BTC and other currencies and they have done their work very nicely. Many people just came to know about BTC because of this and many people loves free money even if its less than a penny. So if you are using faucets intelligently then I think they are much worth of some of your spare time. Recently i've made little test.
I waste one hour on collecting satoshi from faucets.
Experience was terrible, i had to close to many pop ads, i had to sign up on some faucets for 20 satoshi reward, in some faucets i had to solve more than 1 antibot, or to go through page or two and then claim reward. Faucets changed so much, I remember times when i had 100 tabs opened and i was solving captcha and claiming reward as fast as i could, it's really hard to do that now. Unless you have lots referrals it's waste of time.

There are many faucets like this now, because they need pop-ups, short-links to offer acceptable rewards to its users. 20 satoshis is like 200 satoshis from old faucets of years ago, so it's not so bad... And using a good faucet list you can avoid the worse intrusive faucets.
But there are some other faucets offering 50-70 satoshis also, what is a good reward proportional to old times (as the BTC price increased x10 from that time until now). When you get more experience claiming you become acknowledged with the faucet modus-operandi and claim faster.

Definitely, it's not waste of time! It's small, but free money. You don't need to have any skills to earn, and it's good for newbies. They can earn their first dollars from it, and then they can start something more serious.
Personally, I can earn from faucets more than average wage in many poor countries. I can't call it as waste of time. I hodl my faucet earnings. Bitcoins earned few years ago, now worth thousands dollars.
Offcourse, if you will claim hundreds of faucets all day long, it will be waste of time, because there is many more effective earning methofs. But I don't see nothing wrong when you claim from some faucets, or referring people when you have some free time.

It was very hard even for newbies like me to utilize time to properly and claim by order.. Or have lists

Faucets were only good when bitcoin was still in development phase where you can get more than 1 bitcoin per claim. But that era have ended long time ago so these days what we can claim from any bitcoin faucet is just dust amount and it is even harder to reach minimum payment threshold. So yes claiming from faucets is just waste of time today.
Faucets could be seen as a waste of time from the point of view of profitability, yes. On the other hand, as some of the users said, they are a nice way to gather experience and to get to know cryptocurrencies and how the currency systems work. Nonetheless, you've got to be always careful on where you invest your time and, if it is the case, your money.
it'll always be answered with yes, since faucets takes a lot of time and also needs to reach within their minimum amount of payout
buuut my friends told me it was different matter when you claim using your smartphone..

It is indeed a waste of time. You are just wasting your time collecting dusts. Look at the fee you will have to pay when you send those coins somewhere else. It will eat up most of your earnings. Don't you think it is much better to do something more efficient? I think faucets are good if you are planning to start trading without using your money...
Just to make a couple dollars in cryptos to start the trading game... This can be their only purpose.

well i still have to disagree with you. as i mentioned above, faucets used to be good, when it was a "new" thing and people who spread their referral links, could make not a thousands, but probably few hundreds back then. Nowadays everyone knows how faucets work and apart from that, it just gives you almost nothing. + Faucet is open-sourced which means that everyone can create their own and start earning but there are a lot currently and hardly gaining cash.

I am still a newbie and like to do (sometimes) some claiming from faucets. It is fun to do but it goes very slow.
But if you claim from altcoin faucets and these coins go up in price than it becomes interesting. See dogecoin: couple months ago 1 doge was 0.00015$ and now it is 0.0015$...

If you can collect good numbers of referral then it is good but with no referral it is nothing but waste of time. It is better to develop some skill than clicking for satoshi.
Yes it is a waste of time if you want to make a living with that amount.
If you want to get bored 😐 claiming faucets at this time and paying 30k fee for tx then go ahead.

+1 I agree with the guys, faucets are such a waste of time that I still wonder why people are still collecting pennies spending several hours to fill captcha and getting paid ~0.001 per captcha. 1$ per 1000 
Deduce the electricity cost after that.

Both running faucet with dream of getting paid from adnetwork and claiming from faucets is just waste of time these days. Faucet owners have to pay from their pocket because no any ad network will pay good amount for non-convertible faucet's traffic. You can work hard offline to earn some good amount of money so that you can buy bitcoin with that rather than wasting same amount of time in claiming from faucets for free bitcoin worth of pennies.
I think the compilation of Bitcoin is a waste of time and a very weak profit. The best part is to start with a little money so that you can learn easily and start to get money quickly.

Yeah i agree.. faucets are waste of time, unless you have a lot of referal.. Haha .. But if you want to earn btc i suggest you join signature campaign and social media campiagn.. But if you enjoy what are you doing go for it..But for me it would be much better to have them both if you not doing anything else.. it's your choice

It is waste of time for me. Now that bitcoin price is very high they just don't pay enough, you can earn much more with signature campaigns for example. I guess faucets are good for people that are lazy to do anything else, but they pay almost nothing now imo.
Yes, it is. Although I am claiming in freebitco.in faucet several times a day, i'm just spend less than 1 minute to claim every hour. But for faucet with short waiting time, you will spend a lot of time in it with dust profit. The most profit faucet i have seen so far is raiblock, but your daily earning in faucet should ~1-2$/day...
Agree! it is really waste of time and you are just making the developer or the owner of that website rich, she/he only one getting the real profit from it and it is way bigger than you are earning on that faucets. It is really wasting of your time but as a newbie like for the firsttime in bitcoin earning then it could be a good start from it then try to find ways to earn more from it.
It is waste of time for the people who doesn't have time,but for people with much free time there is no harm in doing that
I'm one of the people with much free time,i'm doing faucet every now and then,i let the btc stay in the faucet wallet and not wd till it's enough

Absolutely yes. It's a waste of time. You only get penny from them. It can only be profitable if you have a lot of refferals and rotators. I think it can give you decent profit. For me, it's not worth to spend time. I've been doing that since i was a newbie here and decide to cut it out when my rank is a bit higher. My experience about faucets. Countdown is so long for 50 sats. If you are serious and active on it. It can give atleast $5 below. You are lucky if you are playing faucets on ealier days of bitcoin because the rate that time i think was high.
Im sick of that crap. Thinking about the days that im playing faucets. I start laughing, i look like desperate man who wants to have a whole bitcoin. And then i realize that this is impossible to happen. Can't even pay internet bills and electricity. Loss, that's what you get.

To be honest I think the faucet only wastes time and energy, because the results obtained are not suitable with the cost of electricity and internet connection.The last time I saw the faucet website paid only 20 Satoshi, it was very sad
Yes, Faucets are waste of time and it is completely normal. Why should someone give someone else valuable satoshis for free? Nothing can be earned freely. But I thing using a faucet is a good way to become familiar with bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. I myself started with faucets.
Well from my own point of view faucets is waste of time I have been there before I know what it takes to get enough satoshis I purposely involved myself in it just to work hard and gain experience I usually did faucet at 12AM to 6AM. even with those 6 hours I earned an equivalent less than 1 dollars.
Probably depends where you life.
If you live in a Western country you can make vastly more by working at some job like McDonalds, which is easy to get.
If you live in a country that has no jobs or very low wages - like a couple of dollars a day - I can see where there might be a place for earning via faucets.

Well its not a waste of time if youre enjoying doing them for the small amount of coins youre earning. Or if you have some spare time to waste on faucets, then do it. Its better than doing something like smoking cigarettes and drinking because youre bored.
definitley right
Definitely,faucet is a waste of time.It gives very little earning to users in satoshis.It would take a very long time for earnings to become a descent amount.It would be much better to join in a signature campaign and start earning.Why should any one waste his precious time when he has many other chances to earn a descent income.So,income earned from faucet is not worth.
Well yeah, i pretty much agree with you. Faucets are waste of time unless you have a lot of referrals that are mostly active to bring some extra income for you. I'm sure when those "Faucet Thingies" were new, a lot of people could make not thousands, but hundreds of bucks by spreading their referrals around the web and i'm sure they could gain a lot of referrals back then. but nowadays, everyone knows what faucets are, how low can they bring, so i think not a lot of people are using that anymore, except newbies, who are still new into bitcoin making and who think that with faucets they can get some goodies lol..
It's been a waste of time for many years. Now it's a flat out insult.
If you want to earn a pittance then you're far better off with even the lowliest signature campaign.
It's mind boggling that it's still a thing.

You're literally years too late to make any decent money using faucets, total waste of time these days. It's basically for cents, utter waste of time & effort.
I've done this myself to know that it is really a waste of time. But most of noobs go through this, in a newcomer's perspective it is nice to see a positive amount on your wallet for the first time. Especially when you're a noob but they'll grow above it. Sometimes it is a good thing to have faucets, I've never seen a popular blockchain project that doesn't have faucets. Maybe it is a sign of growth when a project have one and that's a positive thing.
Well its not a waste of time if youre enjoying doing them for the small amount of coins youre earning. Or if you have some spare time to waste on faucets, then do it. Its better than doing something like smoking cigarettes and drinking because youre bored.
definitley right
In my opinion, faucets are waste of time. I have a regular job and there are much better things to do with my spare time.
For me this is waste of time, since i have regular job which takes 8 - 10hrs every weekdays and i give my spare time in participating in signature campaign and for my kids that is why i do not choose faucet as good source of income.
Well its not a waste of time if youre enjoying doing them for the small amount of coins youre earning. Or if you have some spare time to waste on faucets, then do it. Its better than doing something like smoking cigarettes and drinking because youre bored.

From the point of view of profitability of the taps is a waste of time, but they need to familiarize themselves with bitcoin. You learn to make wallet cash and other technical issues that will be useful in working with bitcoins.
