You need to earn 0.0001 BTC or 0.1 mBTC or 100 uBTC to get 5 cents per minute, otherwise you are just wasting electricity and your computer components are dying too. Even then most people would rather signup for "get paid to click" websites, cashout in payza, paypal or another of the various wallets and then convert to bitcoin.

A modern computer + monitor uses around 200 watts an hour. That's just for a basic one, if you have a graphics card and other features, well you are looking at much much more. Multiply it up to get 1000 watts = 1 kw, then find how much a kwh costs. Example: Here in Australia it costs around $0.50 a kwh during peak periods. It costs around $0.10 just to keep my computer running per hour...

Freeco.in basically gives away a quarter of a cent each time you visit. So it's worth thinking about whether it is worthwhile or not. For most people it probably isn't unless they are getting free power or are bludging at work. Once I had a friend tell me that he was getting free energy from your family, well that's even more deluded because any money that goes to paying bills is probably less of an inheritance for him in the future.

Remember it's a lot of clicks before your computer eventually fries itself and may end up being pointless. Most computers would last roughly 5 years and cost $500 for basic builds. So you would have to earn $100 a year by clicking, which is no doubt impossible. A year of clicking Get Paid To ads barely pays for a month of ADSL. I should know, I tried it as a kid! So, basically every click needs to be around 5 cents before it becomes worthwhile and that won't even pay for your broadband (so you really need to be using $1 a month dialup or something to breakeven). Either way, we will always have illogical people that will do it for the novelty.

In short, probably something like what rellix has said. lol.

This is probably the best thing I have read on this forum so far. The only way it is really beneficial is if you have solar panels (for free power) and are somehow getting free internet (using an ASIC of course). However, I still don't see this being very profitable. At all. I also tried those get paid to click ads as a kid, lol.

Friend... Faucets and free bitcoin sites are important to introduce newbies to the bitcoin environment. Eventually I use to visit some faucets yet.

Recently I worked hard to make a good faucet rotator. This is a good way to get btc from faucets faster. If you want to try, visit http://bitcoin-catcher.com
