In April this year I made a tentative start in Bitcoins.
I set up the software, and waited for it to sync.... and found it had used up all my internet traffic quota.
So I reduced maxconnections, then to gain confidence I went to 2 faucets and signed up for small contributions. I sent each one a new address so I knew what had come from whom.
The faucets were:
daily bitcoins.org
bitcoinfaucet.at
I waited and waited, expecting something small to appear. Still nothing, after 2 days!
So I tried 3 more:
freenitcoins.macdonaldboats.com
coinreaper.com
cointicket.org
Still nothing, after a week!
Where did I go wrong? Can anyone help please?
I dont using faucets anymore, but I know you must aggregate certain amount before these faucets pay you out. Read the min amounts you have to aggregate (might take few days) before expecting payout (make manual withdrawal of aggregated coins where necessary)
