When you solve the Capchcha's what is the purpose, I guess defeating the anti-bot provision?  And viewing the ads on the page is what they want you to see?

Edit-- too slow, it will take too long to get to their minimum limit to withdraw.

Yes and yes.

If you get 150 satoshi every time, use 20 different sites, and click 10 times each site every day, you will just be able to get 30000 satoshi (=$0.1) a day. So you shouldn't waste your time on faucets.

So the bitcoin faucet its a way to get free bitcoins?

More like "free micro-fraction of a Bitcoin".

Unfortunately, it isn't worth it.

Yes, but the amount you can get is very small.
Basically, the faucet owner earns some ad profit from your visits, and then share part of his ad profit with you.


Ok thank you for your opinion  Smiley

Not really. I couldn't get satoshi sent to me.  I went to the site you suggested, and to the site upstream of this thread, and filled out the Capchcha, and saw the ads, and then got this: "150 satoshi was sent to your Microwallet.org account."

Not to the Bitcoin address I told them.  I don't want to open an account with Microwallet.org... what to do?  I have no BTC and the BTC I ordered is a week away...but beggars can't be choosers!

You don't need to open an account on microwallet.org.
You will get the payment in a few days to your personal address (the one you entered on faucets), as long as you have accumulated at least 5825 satoshi.
You can at any time click https://www.microwallet.org/?u=YourAddress to check how much you have accumulated.



I see.  When you solve the Capchcha's what is the purpose, I guess defeating the anti-bot provision?  And viewing the ads on the page is what they want you to see?

With some faucets you can earn that bit every 20 minutes though, not like you're going to get rich but a good bit to start with.
Try Bitcoinz Faucet, you may win up to BTC0.00003 every 20 minutes.

I hear the term Bitcoin faucet a lot.  What does it mean?

A site where you are given small amount of btc (satoshis) for solving captcha. Amount of satoshis depends from site to site also the ways you can earn them with. Also, faucets are not recommended as a way of profit (not saying that you can profit in some way, unless you own some big faucet) but as a starting point for the newbies.

Good description.

The hourly rate for solving faucet would probably be about 0.02$/h. Definitely a waste of time, and the faucets owners make conciderably more money off the visitor's back with the ads and possible scams.

Faucet waste your time, you should just get a part time job and use that to buy bitcoin directly.

A song came to mind 000OOO Those were the days my friend, I thought it never end...

Just imagine, you sucked on those faucets and you kept all those coins.

I guess, we might say the same, in a few years from now, when 1 Satoshi will be valued at $1 ^I wish^

Used to gives bitcoins out for free to each visitor. IP addresses that receive bitcoins were recorded, so that bitcoins were given only once to each address. It was operated by Gavin Andresen, however it is not functioning as of Jan 30 2013.

Yup, Gavin's faucet used to give out 5 btc to every IP. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/get-5-free-bitcoins-from-freebitcoinsappspotcom-183
It sounds crazy now, but don't forget bitcoin was worth nothing at that point lol. Tongue
