A faucet is a website which gives you a small amount of bitcoins so called satoshi. If you want more informations about it or start claiming some free bitcoins then take a look at this site bitaler.com. It explains what a faucet is and you can also claim some satoshi there.

Faucet are just waste of time for now but they are quite good at early stage of bitcoin. Where they are opened to promote the use of bitcoin and make people familier with term of bitcoin. But now faucet owner try to lure to earn large and give small to users.
Not all faucet owner try to lure to earn large and give small to users. most of faucet owner fight against bots and scammers.try to run faucet and see youself .


Thats correct i own to faucets for myself and i started the first one early 2013 but the income has not changed much. On the other side the payouts did because of the bots! But i still think its a good way to make people familiar with bitcoins, because if they have some, they interested in using them.

Im very new to bitcoin, and I know some of the terms such as mining and using signature campaigns. What I do not know is faucet, someone explain how it works? And how can i make btc off of it? Thanks! Cheesy

It's a waste of time and I wouldn't recommend doing it , by basically it's a website controlled by someone and he give you x BTC (Satoshis) , for what ? when you visit his website/click ads and type the captcha , he earn some income as-well so it's not really free .
Bitcoin is a long term investement so for those who used Faucets to get bitcoins before , have thousand of dollars now just like the currency satoshi's will worth in years from now . (well not thousands of dollars, but decent amount)

Faucet is like you only need to input and solve a captcha and you get free bitcoin by doing it. But the amount of bitcoin that you get very very low. and for me it's not worth it.

A faucet is a service that gives away tiny amounts of bitcoin. For actually earning anything they are useless. Don't try to earn stuff off of collecting from faucets.
