Despite all the problems that freebitco is going through, I would like to ask if the faucet is still working? I remember one of the members mentioned freebitco as one of the reliable faucets in the old days. Of course, it will not give much, but the idea is still active and it certainly generates some profit for its owners. I also read about the existence of other faucets in other currencies.
Bitcoin faucets in its early years were an important way to spread awareness about Bitcoin and how to use it. Aside from mining activities and trading deals, there were no ways available to the public to get some Bitcoin, because even freelance work on the Internet did not yet use Bitcoin payments. It is true that the faucet sites were nothing but pages displaying different products and services within advertising banners, but Bitcoin helped bring traffic to make them profitable sites par excellence and able to attract advertisers. Crypto and Bitcoin in particular owe a great deal to these faucets.
Yes sir, the faucet is indeed still working, however, your hourly drip rate is like 2-3 satoshis. So it's gonna take you quite some time to get a meaningful amount in order to withdraw.
However, if this is still your desire, then by all means, go ahead. Also spin the WoF and get some extra
It's good that the faucet is still active and I hope that Freebito withdrawals are smooth and without complications as I notice its problems with the rest of the features on the site.
As I mentioned before, although faucets are not very profitable since they do not give a lot of satoshi, they are an opportunity for people who do not have ways to earn some bitcoins, even as an experiment. Getting some satoshi from faucets will push these beginners to learn about bitcoin wallets and how to use them in addition to trading platforms and the features they provide. The educational goals of faucets have become more valuable than financial profit.
