Where do I get free bitcoins?        Discussion thread here

If you have a site that gives out free bitcoins, or know of one, then please submit a link to it in that thread,
or this one if you are still on newbie restrictions.  Any input is welcome including a quick "thanks" or "hello".

Thanks

And I suppose I can just list them here below as well:

Be sure to bookmark this page so you don't miss anything new.

Beware of sites/threads which just copy the entries from this official thread and hides the links behind url redirectors,
making them untrustworthy or a spam-filled inconvenience at best. Also even some of the sites listed here will have their
own list of free Bitcoin sites but hide them behind coinurl and/or adfly links, and other dubious and spammy things like that.
For your convenience and safety it best to just use their faucet, and avoid the other links there, and then come back to use
the verified and maintained list of links here.

If you find this list has been helpful to you in getting your first BTC and you appreciate the time put in to verify these
sites, and to compile and maintain this list, please consider a small donation: 1A2tWrHSnc4eoRJCgcDx8BwPAATmtxMTye

You can use this address in one of your daily checks of these sites for example, or a test of sending BTC after
you have used these sites to test the receiving of BTC. Thank you.  

Note: Many of these sites only payout once a day, or even less often, to save on transaction fees,
so don't get too worried if you don't see a payment for several hours. If after more than a day or two you
still don't get anything, or you have any other problems, post in this thread. Some of the operators of these
various sites follow this thread. Also note the * beside some entries and what it means as explained under
the list of entries below.
