LOL at this old thread that keeps getting bumped and confusing newbies.

You stay 24/7 claiming coins on faucets? It's impossible, lol.

Faucets pay ~10-70 satoshis every hour and I think that you can't stay 24h filling faucets...

Freebitco.in pays much more than that. It pays about ~300 satoshis per hour. The price changes depending on the BTC/USD exchange rate. And you can get larger amounts too if you're lucky. About 1 in 100 rolls will be a lucky one where you can win 10 or even 100 times the normal amount. If you use it 24/7, then you might even hit the biggest or second biggest prize within a year or two. Personally I wouldn't bother with a faucet that only pays 10-70 satoshis per hour unless it was part of a faucet rotator.

There is also the PrimeDice faucet which pays 250 satoshis per minute (10,000 or 20,000 during HH), but there is a minimum withdrawal limit of 50,000 satoshis. I once bet 250 satoshis on it and ended up with $2 worth of BTC which I then cashed out. The chances of that happening was 0.1%.

I remember in 2011 the faucets were giving .1 hehe now the amount is ridiculous..

Wow, I did not knew, 2011 faucet was so generous and was giving 0.1 BTC.
I wish I knew Bitcoins that time.

Unfortunately, I knew about Bitcoin in 2011, the faucets, the mining, the forums, the exchanges, everything... but I ignored it. Sad

And yet even with this, if you stand outside a supermarket and look for loose change or even beg for change you will make more per hour than would would visiting faucets.  Hitting faucets is non-productive useless work than just makes people more sedentary.  Go out, mow a lawn, get $20, buy some BTC.
