I assume that, when all of us first heard of bitcoins and started reading about it, all of us made our first few satoshis on some faucet like freebitco.in or any other, and everything was like "I'm gonna make so much bitcoins with this!". But when you use if for some time and get a little bit more into bitcoin, you'll see that that amount you've collected over a week or so, is barely worth a penny.
So here's the advice, when you first come here and read all about them faucets, don't get your hopes up (like I did) thinking you will make something out of it. Owners of those faucets are the only ones who will profit. Faucets are there just in the beginning to help you see what it's like to receive, own, send bitcoins and how to use your wallet.
Use the faucets, see how it feels to have bitcoins but don't expect anything more than that.
Well I consider a faucet as a starter, once doing 0.05 BTC or so move to invest in cloud mining ( and here expect no miracles either). I tested a package from Zeushash which returned the invest after 30 days, and the purchased 5GHz (for 0.062 BTC) just yielded around 0.00136 BTC. Now purchasing the same 5 GHz in the next package costs even more than 1 month ago!
thinking to test trustable HYIP with some low amount, 0.035 BTC and see what happens
Don't waste your time with faucets. You will get paid pennies for hours of work. It just is not worth it.
Buy .05 BTC if you need it and save your self day's/month worth of faucet.
