Hello forum users!

I would like to hear some stories about your faucet life? Do you use faucets? Which ones? How long u spend a day and how much u earn a day? Also do u use faucet rotators, which ones are highest paying and the fatsest?

In my early days in BTC I used to use a faucet and that taught me alot of the transactions of BTC to be honest, not only that it made me 100's of BTC on easy captcha sites lol I do not use them an have not for a few years but it is a good idea to learn from them, you will no longer earn from them though.

I use more time a faucet, when i need a little bit and i don't like fee of 10.000 satoshi Grin

Serious, i use only faucet with big rewards, no aggressive ads and absolutely no funnycapthca. I click 1 banner for day without problem

All faucets will use Funcaptcha soon, I suggest you get used to it.

Best tradeoff between security and functionality you will get. Faster than Solvemedia and AreYouAHuman too.

Hello forum users!

I would like to hear some stories about your faucet life? Do you use faucets? Which ones? How long u spend a day and how much u earn a day? Also do u use faucet rotators, which ones are highest paying and the fatsest?

Few months ago i was using like 20-30 faucets daily and the same number twice weekly starting from 400 satoshi as minimum. Connecting like 2-4 times a day i was able to reach max 100,000 sat per day and an additional 100,000 sat everyweek.
Finally, i get convected that this is a waste of time and it is boring to repeat the same thing over and over.
So i decided to reduce the number without loosing so much coins. (keeping only +1000 sat/h)
Actually, i had a list of +10 but i am using only during theses weeks moon, zebra, bitcoinker, freebitco.in like 4-5 times a day, btcfree once, donaldcoin+dancefaucet (testing it) twice.
I Added more faucets that i found here which is phone friendly but I barely use it once a day. I need to refresh my dial-up screen but don't have too much time for the moment.
Didn't calculate my earning which i think dropped by 66% or more but i have today ~100,000 in moon & zebra and like 30,000 in faucetbox/day.

I still use faucets, I think they are fun. I have about 20 faucets I like. I open them all up in one browser, I claim from all of them - about 15,000 satoshis for 10 minutes work - then I shrink the browser window, and go back to my regular job. One hour later, I re-open the window, claim from the faucets, and go back to work.

I do this 10 - 12 times a day, for 150 - 200,000 satoshi per day. If I want to, I can claim from some of them more often, and earn more.

At the end of the month, I take the money I have earned (.06) and invest it into something that pays me good money, usually a high risk investment. I've been lucky so far and not lost anything, but if I did, it would only be pocket change from the faucets, not money my family needs to live.

I use rotator in my signature,has an excellent list of faucet and if you're interested in speed, turbo mode is available

In a month I had made 0.04 BTC.,To go through the whole list today I needed about 40 minutes and score is over 100k satoshi,usually about 80k.
I use some other faucets individually, mainly because I have a lot of referrals on them and visit them several times a day.

These days I can't believe people put such a low value on their time to spend countless hours clicking on them. Perhaps it'll result in a modest payoff a few years down the line. I think life is too valuable to waste that much time.

i think this is the intention. they may be nearly worthless now, "but when bitcoin is worth $1 million a pop"....... Tongue

i took the same approach until some time in 2013, when there were better ways to use my time to make much more bitcoin.

If I remember rightly the first, or one of the first, faucets gave away 5 BTC a time. They were probably worth about the same or less than what current faucets pay out, maybe nothing at all.

Fortunately, I never wasted too much time on traditional faucets.

i wouldn't say that. back in the day -- 2010, maybe 2011 -- i recall hearing that one could net a full bitcoin with just a few (or even one) faucet payout. man, those must have been the days! i figured a bitcent was still pretty damn good when i started collecting from faucets. these days -- huge waste of time, yeah.

To be fair yes, back in the days, you could earn 1 BTC or more per faucet claim. However, anyone who put enough time into Bitcoin back then to partake in the faucets was probably also involved in the community, which hosted much more generous giveaways.

Someone could be a millionaire if they did faucets back in the day diligently, but that opportunity has come and gone. I joined midway through 2013, and at that point faucets were long past the point of profitability.

Fortunately, I never wasted too much time on traditional faucets. I spent a fair amount of time on faucets on gambling websites like Primedice, and took advantage of the free prizes on gambit (back when they were a bitcoin casino). I did make a reddit post for a Bitcoin minecraft server as a guide to earning bitcoin that included freebitco.in and a few others. I got a few referrals from that and I still earn a few cents of BTC each week passively for those.

When I started out, I used www.Freebitco.in & www.CoinLearn.org. Lately, I dont use them, but as I see, they are still paying!

when i first got into bitcoin in late 2012, i used some faucets daily for a few months. i also used some daily giveaways on the forums into 2013 (PD, 777coin) that netted 0.01 or more per giveaway. definitely racked up a couple coins when all was said and done. but in early 2013 faucet payouts drastically reduced (so did giveaways) so i stopped wasting time on them.

Faucets are really a waste of time. Take freebitcoin facuet for axample, paying less than 1000 satoshi each time. Which is basically less than a tenth of a cent per run. Why waste your time on this?

Hello there!

Faucets aren't worth it.

They bring practically no income in and waste your internet data, power and time you could be using making much more income flipping burgers under a bridge and selling em to hobos for used tin cans.

Okay, enough with the jokes, Grin

faucets give you tiny amounts of satoshi when you could be getting bills doing something else, like (I see you partake in one) a signature campaign or some other form of advertising, this gives slightly more BTC (or altcoin if you request to be paid in such.) Faucets are just a waste of time you could use to be more productive.
