I had 2 faucet claims of 4,254 satoshi and 4,059 satoshi within 33 minutes.  I am currently have a total balance of 91,409 satoshi which took me two days to build since making my last withdrawal on Monday (Dec. 28).

I ended up earning a total bitcoin amount of 217,252 satoshi for Sunday, December 27, 2015.  This was a decent day for me and I am happy with it.  My bitcoin goal for this week (the week of Sunday, December 27, 2015 to Saturday, January 2, 2016) is to earn between 1 million to 1.5 million satoshi which is doable based on my past bitcoin faucet earnings trends. 

I just scored a 3,995 satoshi claim on the Bonus Bitcoin faucet a couple of minutes ago.  

That ends my bitcoin earnings day for me.  I ended up with a decent amount of bitcoin from Bonus bitcoin during this Christmas weekend.  This is one of the best bitcoin faucets that I currently use. 

I consider it money and I have earned and spent bitcoin online.  Specifically, I consider it an "internet currency" that is not backed by the "full faith" of a government. 

I got used to getting bitcoin from the faucets but I will look into the Signature Campaign account once I post enough here to reach a "higher status" but I mainly spend more time posting on a couple of gold and silver forums and a silver art bar forum.  I wll learn more about localbitcoins at a later date but I want to concentrate on the bitcoin faucets for the time being despite them being lower payouts.  This is just "play money" to buy physical silver with.  

I usually collect old silver art bars from the 1970's and America The Beautiful 5-oz silver "pucks" and buy those from the local dealers and coin shows for bullion premiums.  The regular newer collectible silver (such as Chinese Panda, Zombucks, etc) I plan to buy from Provident Metals with the free bitcoin "play money" that I get from the internet faucets since it is rare that I buy silver outside of '70's silver art bars and ATB 5-oz silver pucks that I normally collect.  

I have to respectfully somwehat disagree.  Since I have a regular full time job, I could buy bitcoin with some of my regular earnings from my job but I choose not too.  I buy silver with my regular bitcoin earnings and will still continue to do so.  That is not the issue here.  You are right in that there are quicker ways to get bitcoin but I prefer to earn bitcoin from the internet faucets as an alternative "out-of-the-box" way to get silver and I am achieving that on a small level.  It is easy work compared to working at a hamburger joint.  

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I knew from the start that I was not going to earn much from doing this but I wanted to earn just enough to buy an oz of silver with it and this is the easiest way to do it.  I do not feel that I am paying a lot since I am on the internet anyway but that is just my opinion.  If I stopped earning bitcoin from the bitcoin faucets, I am still spending time, computer and internet costs visiting other web sites.  I just feel productive with my free time and I am still able to do the things that I usually do on the internet anyway while I earn bitcoin from the bitcoin faucets.  I am very patient (what's the rush?) and patience is what it takes when it comes to earning bitcoin from the faucets and building up a good amount to buy physical silver with it.  It just works out for me doing what I am doing to achieve my goal of converting that to physical silver.  Slow and steady works for me and I will continue to do so.  The free bitcoin that I get from the faucets is just "play money" to buy silver with.  Nothing more nothing less and that is how I choose to spend my free time.  I enjoy doing this since I spend most of my time listening to Internet talk radio while I am doing this.  This is enjoyable to me and that it what matters.  It is not for everybody and I understand that too.  To each his own.  

EDIT:  I also want to be clear here that I am not trying to convince anybody to do what I am doing.  People here can make their own decisions one way or the other.  The reason that I started this thread because I am making this work for me because I am interested in silver and in bitcoin and I just wanted to share that here on this forum as a way to spend free bitcoins earned from the faucets.   

Fair enough.  I do not let this run my life.  I do occasionally go out and do other things with my free time.  As a matter of fact, I went out and watched the new Star Wars movie that recently came out.  I do get physical exercise (20-30/day cardio exercise) and I do spend time with relatives talking to them.  Even though I do not have much of a life, I still have a life and I live it.  I am open minded about bitcoin and I like bitcoin for what it is and I wanted to make best use of it by earning some and transacting in it.  My love for certain collectable silver coins/bars and the opportunity to get free bitcoin made me come up with this idea of getting free bitcoin from the faucets to buy physical silver with it.  I have not used my smartphone for bitcoin faucet earnings and I do not plan to at this time because I am too busy with my regular job to use my smartphone for long periods of time. 

I will look into the signature campaign once I build up my rank here.  Thank you and Pharmacist for telling me about it. 

So far, this faucet has worked out well for me despite having only 2 referrals.  I usually have been getting between 500 - 700 per claim most of the time but I do get the 4900 satoshi claims as well. 

Based on the very few referrals that I have I am starting to see the power of "passive bitcoin income".  I did not know about the renting out of sig lines and I was not sure of the rules regarding that for a newbie such as myself since I do not have a lot of posts.   I will check this out.  Thank you. 

I was looking at it from the stand point of the fact that I spend a lot of free time at home anyway on the computer on the Internet doing the things that I like to do on the Internet such as listen to Internet talk radio, surf the web and post on forums.  I was doing these things for many years before I heard of bitcoin and now that bitcoin exists and bitcoin faucets exist, then I can earn bitcoin doing the same things that I have been doing before bitcoin was created.  In other words, I am not going out of my way to do this.  It just happened to work out that way for me and I am taking advantage of that.  

When I say no $ spent, I just meant that I gain an oz of silver without spending any $'s from my wallet.  That is the metric that I prefer to focus on.  As I have mentioned, the silver collecting is just a hobby.  I am not stacking for SHTF.  I just like collecting certain silver coins/bars and doing this is just another way to fund my hobby while I can still do the things that I normally do at home on the Internet.  

Thank you.  I do not mind the criticism.  I realize that I am not going to make a lot of bitcoin doing this but I do not need a lot of bitcoin to buy an oz of physical silver.  I am planning to keep my day job. 

I felt good about my bitcoin earnings when I realized that that I earned enough free bitcoin from the faucets to buy those 3 Zombucks and it made me feel pumped about doing this.  I felt even better 3 weeks later when I used my free bitcoin to buy a 1-oz Incuse Indian Head silver round.   

Speaking of earnings, I have obtained about 102,000 satoshi worth of bitcoin for today so far.  I probably should end up with at least 200,00 satoshi before I quit at 11:50 PM tonight (U.S. Eastern Time).   

I do not use bots and I do not have many referrals.  I have 2 referrals on The Bonus Bitcoin and 1 referral on the Alien Faucet and 1 referral on one of the Faucetbox bitcoin faucets that I use.  I hope to increase my referrals at a later date.  

Actually, there are people who earn more than I do but they have a lot more referrals that I do.

As for my bitcoin earnings being "high", that is subjective.  For me, on the weekends I earn more bitcoin from the faucets since I have the weekend off from my regular full time job.  On most weekends, I can earn between 200,000 to 300,00 satoshi if I am at home most of the time.  During the weekday and depending on how early I wake up before I go to work and how many hours I have left before I have to sleep when I get home after I leave work, I can make a total of between 100,000 and 185,000 satoshi a day Monday thru Friday.  If I am working overtime at my job (usually working between 10-12 hours a day), then those earnings will be a lot less since I would home less when working overtimr at my regular job.  

As for spending time on the computer on the Internet, I do a lot of listening to Internet talk radio, surfing the Internet and posting on forums so it works out perfectly for me.  In other words, if bitcoin and bitcoin faucets did not exist, I still would be...............Listening to Internet talk radio, surfing the web and posting on forums.  I do not go out very much outside of work.  

That's a fair statement.  However, this was just a small "think-outside-the-box" way to fund my silver hobby without spending $'s and it does not take much effort at all since I spend a lot of my free time at home on the Internet anyway when I am not working full time at my regular salaried job.  I also want to clarify that I still buy most of my collection with $'s from that full-time salaried job and will continue to do that.  Again, you do bring up a good point but I already have a fulltime job that pays much more than minimum wage.  Getting free bitcoin from the bitcoin faucets is just my way to spend my free time after I get home from work. 

NOTE:  I originally started this thread in the "Service Announcements - Micro Payments" by mistake so I locked that thread and started this thread here since this seemed to be the general discussion of bitcoin related topics.

Hello my name is Silver Art.  I am a new member to Bitcointalk.org (signed up today).  I have been involved with Bitcoin since Novermber 2013 and have been involved with gold and silver (mainly silver) since August 2008. I started getting free bitcoin from the faucets in Summer 2014 but have been spending it on alt coins where I was trading (made a lot of BTC but also lost a lot of BTC).  Starting in January 2015, I got serious with earning bitcoin from the bitcoin faucets with the intent of buying silver with it once I realized that a few online dealers started accepting bitcoin as a direct payment for bullion but was not making as much as I do now because I have seen some of the faucet that I see now.  During this Summer, once I started finding more faucets to earn bitcoin from, then my bitcoin earnings increased a lot.   

Fast forward to this month (December 2015), I obtained enough free bitcoin from the various faucets to buy some physical silver from Provident Metals since they accept bitcoin as a direct payment option.  On December 1, 2015, I used my free bitcoin to buy 3 1-oz Zombucks Saints.  I spent 0.162635 BTC on those three 1-oz Zombucks Saints.  After that purchase, I had $3 worth of bitcoin earnings left so I decided to earn more bitcoin from the faucets.  From December 2, to December 26, 2015 (yesterday), I earned enough bitcoin from the facuets to buy another oz of silver from Provident Metals.  This time I bought a 1-oz Incuse Indian Head silver round.  I spent a total of 0.052479 BTC on that silver round from Provident Metals.  After that 0.052479 BTC purchase, I had 0.00214297 BTC left (approx. 89 cents) in my Coinbase account but I had a couple of faucet payouts this morning and I am waiting on more faucet payout from last week's earnings.  I now have about $1.62 worth of bitcoin earnings in my Coinbase account and should have a lot more by the end of this year going into 2016. 


I use the following bitcoin faucets to make a vast majority of my bitcoin earnings:

1.) Bonus Bitcoin (2 referrals)

2.) Alien Faucet (1 referral)

3.) Bitcoin Zebra (no referrals)

4.) Moon Bitcoin (no referrals)

5.) Faucetbox-based bitcoin faucets (too many to list since a use a lot of them via a bitcoin rotator and most of my earnings are from these types of bitcoin faucets; 1 referral total from all Faucetbox faucets). 


There are some other bitcoin faucets that I use off and on depending how my bitcoin day is going.  I use a Coinbase online wallet as a bitcoin savings account to store my bitcoin earnings.  My current average weekly bitcoin earnings are between 1 million to 1.2 million satoshi per week (approx. 142,800 to 171,400 satoshi per day).  These figures are from my efforts only.  These figures do not include any automatic daily bonusus and it does not include any referral earnings (I do not have many referrals at this point).   


Since I spend a lot of free time at home on the Internet, getting free bitcoin from the Bitcoin faucets made sense to me and I do this while surfing the web and listening to Internet talk radio.  So far, earning bitcoin on the internet has yielded me 4 oz's of physical silver (3 Zombucks silver rounds and 1 Incuse Indian Head silver round) since starting seriously earning bitcoin from the faucets in January 2015.  It is not much but I did not have to spend any $'s out of my wallet to obtain them. 

Since I put this thread in the wrong section.  I will lock this thread and start this exact thread in the main section of this forum.  Thanks Faucetrank.  Sorry about posting this in the wrong section.  Thread closed. 

No problem.  I still buy most of my collection with $'s but this was a small "think outside the box" way to fund my hobby.  Initially I was not earning a lot of bitcoin off the faucets but with more faucets paying more and some online bullion dealers accecpting bitcoin, I thought that I would try it.  I am patient enough to work the faucets to make it worth while since I spend a lot of free time at home on the Internet anyway.  Might as well make it pay off in some way. 

This is just a hobby for me.  Using the free bitcoin that I get from the internet faucets is just a small way for me to feed that hobby as a silver collector.  I started the thread as just something interesting since it was also related to bitcoin and the use of bitcoin faucets to obtain the bitcoin. 

Oops!  Sorry for posting in the wrong section.  I saw that it was micro earnings and did not pay full attention where I posted the thread.  Sorry for that.  

I had a few of those type of claims.  The most that I made in a week from Bonus Bitcoin was 275,155 satoshi (included commission from 2 referrals and daily bonuses during that week). 

I have used Provident Metals twice to buy silver with bitcoins (bitcoin faucet earnings) and it has been a smooth transaction for me.
