I don't think it's totally necessary to deposit to earn interest, but it would definitely help. Earning 8 satoshi per 8 hours (maybe a bit more with the bonuses every 8 hours) would take a while just to add a few satoshi to the interest. It's gonna take a while to build up your mine and be able to withdraw if you don't put anything into it, but it's possible. You'd just need to be patient. Very patient.

That thought hadn't really occurred to me, but now that I think about it, I'm not sure. There's not really any evidence to show that my computer is infected. This only seems to happen with MyBitMine, maybe next time I'll screenshot it. Thanks for the input though. It was pretty annoying so I assumed someone else would have mentioned it. Alright, I'll look into it.

I've been getting some pretty annoying popups from this site that happen occasionally when I click anywhere on the page. It leads me to a very malware-looking page that creates almost un-exitable text windows that are kind of difficult to get rid of. Very "click here to fix your PC!" kind of stuff that seems pretty likely that it's only there to infect people with something.

I agree that faucets can be profitable to the owners, but that in the long run they're not all that great if you're looking to make a noticeable amount of bitcoin. The only way you could pull that off is with a lot of referrals, but I wouldn't know since the most I've had on any faucet is like three. If they weren't profitable, then they would shut down. I can't imagine a site like Moon Bitcoin going down anytime soon since they have about 20-25 ads on their site, it's ridiculous how infested that site is. Plus that sometimes ads with sound come on for no reason, just to get you to look at the page again in order to shut it off.

It's always showing a "type in the nth character of this word" so far. I don't think I've tried to guess it, or have messed up many times. I must still be on "cooldown" because it still isn't working. Hopefully it won't be too long, just wish I had a number. I just hope I'm not making it worse by continuing to try every once in a while. Thanks for the response though.

I've been using this site for a while, I like the setup. No, it doesn't have some unrealistically high return rate, but if it did then people would be calling it a scam. I've withdrawn once so far with no problems.

Only started just today, but it seems interesting. I'm all about earning methods being more interactive. I like that there are many different things to upgrade rather than just one "upgrade production" button, it gives a greater sense of immersion. We'll see how this goes but I'm liking it so far.

Edit: I'm already stuck. I'm watching the video and entering the captcha but it tells me the captcha's wrong every time. I've done it maybe ten times now.

It's kind of interesting, it's a nice way to change things up a little bit from entering a captcha every five minutes or an hour. Well, you do have to enter a captcha every time you answer, I just mean adding on an aspect of competition. I could see it get frustrating if there were more people playing at once and you can't answer as fast as they can but that's just part of the game I guess. Some of the questions seem a little poorly worded, and some of the answers are spelled wrong. I'm Also Not A Big Fan Of Every Word In Some Questions Being Capitalized When It's Not Needed. Occasionally, the question will refresh, but the same question will appear and you need to refresh manually. Needs some fine-tuning in those regards but otherwise it's not a terrible site.

I'm a little confused by this wording. Are you part of this site? It seems like you're saying "I don't know if I'd invest in the mining part of the site, because sometimes those kinds of things get shut down and people lose their money." If you work for this site, I don't know why you'd be saying that, or maybe I'm reading it wrong.

I haven't managed to hit the big prize yet, either. Haven't heard of anyone who has, but I'm sure someone has by now, as long as the site has been around. I think the highest I've gotten is "tier 3" if you'd want to call it that, the most likely prize being tier 1. Though I haven't deposited myself, I would trust them. Seems like a pretty solid website.

Each block you mine nets you a predetermined amount of satoshi, usually anywhere from 1-10 per block, and maybe 30 for obsidian. After you've accumulated a certain amount (which doesn't take too long), they do weekly payouts.

I assume it's making reference to the fact that OP said it's a niche account. Like the facebook page could be Homer Simpson. It's not a real person, but it's a real account.

I'm not really interested in your services, just not something I need, but do you have any plans to add the Vine app to your list?

Moonbitcoin-

Due to a technical fault with the microwallet service we have been having some problems making deposits to the account that Moon Bitcoin uses for faucet payouts
These problems are still ongoing but we have now been able to make a deposit that will allow the faucet to start paying again

Please accept our apologies for this issue, unfortunately the causes were out of our control - we will update this notification once the problem is completely fixed.
_______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________

Appears to be fixed, for now.

I sent you 100 to get the 100. I have 900 now but it says I need to have 50 remaining, so I'd send you 850 for the BTC?

"Please be aware that the Moon Bitcoin faucet is currently unable to pay out
Due to a technical fault with the microwallet service we have been unable to make any deposits into the microwallet account for over 12 hours now which means that it has now run out of funds to cover payouts.

Please accept our apologies for this issue - we are working hard to get it resolved but unfortunately it is out of our control at the moment.
We will update this notification once the problem is fixed and we can fill up the microwallet account again."

As for now, it seems like they've turned off the faucet so you that you don't redeem your satoshi and lose it all due to this error.

I lost out on maybe 500/800 satoshi or so. It's lame, but I'm not that worried about it. I have my payout threshold on 1mbit and I'm only a third of the way there, so I'm not in a hurry by any means.

By the way the notice is worded, it seems like they're saying that it's Microwallet's problem? And maybe that they're turning off their faucet so that they're not piling on the bitcoins that need to be paid out through Microwallet. Are any other microwallet faucets working?

I've only got the second tier twice. I couldn't tell you how many rolls I have because I've changed wallets since then. Probably a few hundred. Still waiting for that ~.3btc one lol. I remember when average prize was 400-450ish. That would be even crazier.

I was a fan of http://www.bitchest.me/ (not a ref url, don't believe they have any form of referral anyway)

It's one of those things where you visit a bunch of faucets that accumulate at bitchest until you hit 5500 satoshi (or whatever the name for it is, it's a pretty common minimum threshold for faucets). I liked it because it tracks your progress really nicely in an organized hub.

Edit: Removed links

I was just about to reply to another thread about this, but I saw this one before I did.

I can't confirm if it's legit or not. I've been using it for like 60 days. I put in the minimum investment amount (1 mbtc) because that's all I had, and kind of forgot about it. The interest got to about 0.67mbtc and I deposited another 1 mbtc. In about two weeks, I should be able to get 1 mbtc in interest. Long and annoying I know, but it's all I can do for now. I'm hopeful it will work out and that eventually the only bitcoin I have invested are the coins I earned from this so I won't have to worry about mine.

I'm pretty new to the digital currency scene, but I have MultiBit, and I like it so far.
