Get Satoshis For Chatting At CoinVisitor (1 update)

After CoinAd, there's now another site where you can earn bitcoins as you chat with other people! After being down for a couple of days, CoinVisitor (free bitcoins daily for visiting websites, free bitcoins once for liking/tweeting them) now adds this nice feature to their chat. I'll tell you the steps you must take to participate and earn here!:

http://coinvisitor.com/chat/

How To Proceed

• Go to the CoinVisitor Chat page.
• You'll be given by default a user name composed by six numbers (such as "273645"). Change your nickname with the command "/nick YOURNICKNAME":

I'll be "BTCM"!

• Now register with the nickname you've chosen and a password with the command "/regist YOURPASSWORD":

This is not BTCM's password :-P

• Now Logout and then Login with the user and password you chose:

Press this button...

And login with your user and password!

• Now set up the bitcoin address where you'd like to receive the satoshis you get with the command "/setbitcoin YOURBITCOINADDRESS":

This IS one of BTCM's many bitcoin addresses.

Feel free to send some satoshis there! :-P

• And that's it! Now chat with the rest of people. I'm not sure of the rules that the system follows to reward you, but it seems you've got a 33% chance to receive bitcoins for a message. You get 6 satoshis (0.06µ฿) every time this happens.

Prize get! It seems the ChatBot approves of what I said! :-)

• If you want to know how many bitcoins you've accumulated after some chatting time, use the command "/balance":

$24 in the year 2050...

• To withdraw your earnings, use the command "/withdraw":

Simple!

• That's all you need to know! You'll receive your earnings in 24 hours, just as the ones you get from visiting sites at CoinVisitor.

Opportunity Review:

• Expected profit: 1/5. Since I don't know the rules for getting a reward I'm not sure. But by sending three messages per minute you'll get approximately 3.60µ฿ per hour. Or about 100µ฿ per day. Very little...
• Convenience: 5/5. Anybody can chat! The chat commands allow you to quickly manage your earnings too.
• Payment speed: 2/5. You'll receive your satoshis in a day or less.
• Risk: 1/5. Since getting the six satoshis seems like a random event, you may never get the prize if you are extremely unlucky!
• Final Score: 6/10. It's nice to see new ways to earn free bitcoins appearing. This CoinVisitor Chat works pretty well but its reward is so low that it will take you a lot of time to get a significant amount of microbitcoins. Please raise the prize amount, Mr. CoinVisitor Admin! :-) Update 1, 07/04/2013: The reward has been risen! :-D

Websites That Do Not Give Free Bitcoins (III)

Yes, after issues one and two, it's time for another round of websites that do not give free bitcoins. Maybe they once gave but now don't. Or perhaps they were a scam from the beginning. Either way, here are my last findings. If you see these sites linked, don't lose your time: ignore them!

Don't let these sites fool you!

11. GOXKEYGEN:

As you may already know if you've been following this blog for some time, GOXKEYGEN gave you codes that you could redeem at Mt.Gox for a handful of microbitcoins. Now it redirects you to a different web through a referral link. An original idea died.

Let's move on...

12. CoinTube:

There are some sites that play a fundamental role in increasing the number of Bitcoin users. CoinTube was one of them. There you could get your first free bitcoins for watching videos. We will all remember the first time that, after tedious hours waiting for our freshly-installed Bitcoin client to synchronize with the network, we watched a video at this place and suddenly some microbitcoins made their way to our digital wallet. It felt almost like magic! This won't happen anymore, since CoinTube has decided to stop paying their users. They still make money through Virool if you visit them and watch the videos they show you, but they won't pay you back in Bitcoins part of their earnings. It's a pity.

Farewell! I'll miss the Weird CoinTube Woman...

13. Oscry:

This place used to give some free bitcoins every day, so it was like a bitcoin faucet you could use each 24 hours. Now it doesn't exist. Somebody took the domain oscry.com and at the moment it only shows ads. I managed to find a very low-quality image of what it looked like in the past:

Hm... All I can see is that it advertised BitVisitor!

14. TenDrawBTC:

Here you had some virtual scratchcards which gave you free bitcoins after, well, scratching them... Now they say they'll be back soon. One month ago TenDrawBTC said the same. I wonder what "soon" means to all these people who take down their site to redesign it!

I'll also return to your site to review it... Soon! Really, really soon!

15. BitStart:

This is a web where you can advertise yourself and earn bitcoins by playing some kind of game, but we don't care about that. We care about the faucet at the bottom of the page. A faucet that doesn't work. At all. And it looks like a clone of the NetLookup faucet... Designed to trick us into spreading the word about BitStart. Meh!

You may input anything, because it doesn't even check whether

it is a real bitcoin address what you write...

Get Some Coins From Omnicoins

How about getting more coins for your wallet today just by Liking a business on Facebook and writing your bitcoin address on their wall? With Omnicoins, you can:

This is the https://www.omnicoins.com/ website. You won't

find the instructions to get free bitcoins here, though!

How To Proceed

• You will need a Facebook account, so if you haven't joined the social network yet, do it!
• Create a new bitcoin address to assure yourself that Omnicoins rewards you for liking their Facebook page. Or use a previous one you created to receive bitcoins once.
• Log into Facebook. Go to Omnicoin's Facebook page and Like them. Post a message on their wall with your bitcoin address.

You'll see many people have already done this!

• Now you only have to wait. You'll receive some coins on your wallet after a day or before.

1000µ฿ more. Lovely!

Opportunity Review:

• Expected profit: 4/5. 1000µ฿ for you, once. Cool.
• Convenience: 4/5. Like them, write your bitcoin address on their wall and wait. Pretty fast, isn't it?
• Payment speed: 1/5. They'll send you your 100.000 satoshis in a day or so.
• Risk: 0/5. There's no risk here, except if you are really concerned about security and don't want Facebook to know one of your bitcoin addresses.
• Final Score: 8/10. It's once, it's fast and you are getting over $0.03 for doing it at the moment I'm writing this, so why should you skip this opportunity? Visit them and press "Like"! (and, since they seem to be so nice, consider buying coins from them in the future!)

Site Review: BitSprinkle

This is a site that I found just yesterday, lurking around the Bitcoin Reddit (which you should visit from time to time). It's very similar to BTC For Me (reviewed here): you send a tweet and receive free bitcoins. Let's see the details of BitSprinkle:

http://bitsprinkle.warp-6.net/

How It Works:

• BitSprinkle gives you free bitcoins after you send them a tweet. The tweet must include your bitcoin address and their Twitter name "@BitSprinkle".
• After a couple of minutes (only three in my case) you'll have 1000µ฿ more in your digital wallet!
• You can do this only once. They do this as a welcome present to new bitcoin users so as they can "play" with bitcoins without the need of buying them on a market exchange.

Best Strategy:

• Create a Twitter account if you don't have one. I don't think they will send bitcoins to an empty or a recently created account, so make sure you actually use it before asking them for bitcoins.
• Create a new Bitcoin address only to receive bitcoins from BitSprinkle. This way you can assure yourself that they are actually paying you. Or use the address you created when you got your reward from BTC For Me.
• Tweet the following message: "Hey @BitSprinkle sprinkle me some #Bitcoin BITCOIN ADDRESS", including your bitcoin address where it says "BITCOIN ADDRESS".

Hey @bitsprinkle sprinkle me some #Bitcoin 12Za1i1zhYTCeHWBg8yJb72BeEGQVEuMdT
— The Bitcoin Master (@BitcoinMaster) March 2, 2013

• Wait a couple of minutes until their script catches your tweet and sends you the bitcoins.
• Done! Now you are 0.001฿ richer.

Great! 1000µ฿ for a tweet!

Site Review:

• Expected profit: 4/5. 1000µ฿. Not bad for sending just a tweet!
• Convenience: 4/5. If you already have a Twitter account, this shouldn't take you more than one minute.
• Payment speed: 5/5. Near-instantaneous. You'll be paid in a couple of minutes.
• Risk: 0/5. Zero. Not considering the possibility of Twitter being under heavy load and not being able to process your tweet.
• Final Score: 9/10. Why would you miss the opportunity of getting 1/1000 more bitcoins? Go to BitSprinkle and get them while they last!

Get Bitcoins For Chatting At CoinAd (4 updates)

Update 1, 04/03/2013: For the last 24 hours CoinAd has been inaccessible. It seems they have been hacked. I've sent @coinad a tweet to confirm this.

Update 2, 04/03/2013: Ten hours have passed and now it's back. Nobody knows what happened.

Update 3, 05/03/2013: It's broken again. I'll consider it fixed after it's up during three days in a row.

Yes, you are reading correctly. Since yesterday, CoinAd visitors who use the chat option are receiving bitcoins for doing so! Do you think it's too good to be true? Well, then look at this screenshot:

https://coinad.com/?m=chat

How To Proceed

• If you haven't got an account at CoinAd yet, create it. If you don't already know this site, check out our review.
• Log in with your account and click on the chat option at the top of the page. There's also a little link under the captcha:

+0.01mBTC FTW!

• Chat with the rest of people you'll find there. And I really mean it; don't spam or you'll get banned forever. Every time you send a message you'll have a 25% chance of earning 10µ฿, which will be added to your CoinAd account. Update 07/03/2013: The chance has been increased to 35%!

When you get the prize, the text (+0.01mBTC) will appear after your message!

• These bitcoins are delayed until you decide to release them. After that you'll receive them in less than a day on your wallet.

40µ฿ for solving a captcha once per hour,

10µ฿ for chatting once every four messages!

Opportunity Review:

• Expected profit: 5/5. Assuming you don't spam and keep your rate of sending messages to, let's say, four per minute, you could earn up to 14400µ฿. If you don't sleep. Woo!
• Convenience: 5/5. Chatting is easy. And fun. And interesting. Sometimes.
• Payment speed: 2/5. You'll receive your coins in less than a day after you release your delayed balance.
• Risk: 1/5. As getting the coins for your message is a random event, I guess there's always the possibility that you don't ever get +10µ฿!
• Final Score: 9/10. If you are ever bored or want to relax doing something that doesn't require too much thinking, go to chat to CoinAd! You'll have fun and might get some bitcoins on the way!

• Final Score: 9/10. Don't skip this opportunity. There's no other way to get so many free bitcoins in so little time!

Site Review: Free BTC PT (2 updates)

This is a site that I found by chance, since it doesn't advertise itself anywhere. And it's also the one that can potentionally give you the largest amount of bitcoins every day. I call it "Free BTC PT":

http://free.btc.pt/

Let's clear something out first: I consider that a web gives out free bitcoins when it's a bitcoin faucet or when it asks you to do very simple tasks which require very little time to do. If the tasks require some considerable time, I won't consider the bitcoins are free anymore, since you are actually working to get them. Free BTC PT lets you choose what type of site it is: you can stay the whole day there watching videos, completing offers and solving captchas or you can visit a couple of times a day and do a couple of each every time. I personally leave the site open on a tab of my browser and sometimes check to see if there are videos to watch.


How It Works:

• Free BTC PT gives you four different ways to earn bitcoins after registering an account: watching videos, solving captchas, completing offers or simply visiting the site every hour.
• If you decide you want to watch videos, go to the Watching Videos section of the web. Wait until some videos appear and watch them until they are over to earn 150.01µ฿. About 20% of the videos do not give you a reward for watching them though... Update 1, 08/03/2013: Now it's 100µ฿ for about half of the videos you watch. They update the reward as Bitcoin increases its value in the market. Update 2, 04/04/2013: Now it's 25µ฿ per video.

It works with Virool, just as CoinTube, but here they actually pay you

• If you want to solve captchas, go to Captcha Madness!. They'll give you one captcha, which could be verbal, an image or a description of a brand. Solve it to earn 1µ฿. Request a new captcha on the page that loads after you submit your solution and repeat the process. There seems to be an endless amount of captchas for you to solve, so you may do this until you get mad!

Solve the captcha...

... Request another captcha and get mad as you earn microbitcoins!

• If you want to complete offers, go to Satoshi's Millions!. Here's where you can earn the most bitcoins for doing stuff, but I recommend you forget about these offers entirely. Most of them make you download viruses or annoying adware or make you subscribe to a service which costs you more than the value of the bitcoins you receive for doing so.

No matter how tempting they are, forget the offers

• If you leave the website open on your browser, it will give you 10µ฿ per hour. Update 2, 04/04/2013: Now it's 5µ฿. Here you can see several of these payments on my Account Activity Log:

I haz Bitcoinz. Meow!

• If you want to withdraw your balance, go to their Withdrawal Center. You must have made at least 2500µ฿ to be able to withdraw. Update 2, 04/04/2013: Now it's 500µ฿:

You should get the minimum to withdraw in a couple of days

Best Strategy:

• Create a new Bitcoin address only to receive bitcoins from Free BTC PT. This way you can assure yourself that they are actually paying you.
• Visit the site, create an account and leave it open forever. You'll earn 240 120µ฿ per day this way.
• If there are videos to watch, do so. You'll get paid when you've watched them until the last second. Some days there are a ton of videos and others there are very few to watch. That depends on how many advertisers Virool has.
• If you feel like solving captchas, go and do it. I personally only do this when I'm really tired; it's an easy task that you can do without thinking and that sometimes wakes you up. Solve them in two tabs at the same time so as you don't have to lose the time the pages take to load. I can solve 6 captchas per minute this way. This means I could earn up to 8640µ฿ per day this way. And end up mad in the way!
• Don't complete offers. The harm they might cause to your computer is not worthy of the bitcoins you'll get for doing so.
• Request a payment once a day or when you reach 2500500µ฿. It's not good to leave unclaimed rewards sitting on the databases of websites you don't control untouched for too long. You only have to give them your bitcoin address once; they'll remember it for future withdrawals.

These three days I was away from keyboard around 8 hours in total. I needed some sleep...

Site Review:

• Expected profit: 5/5 4/5 3/5. Around 5000µ฿ per day if there are many videos to watch. Around 1000µ฿ otherwise. There's virtually no limit here though! Update 1, 08/03/2013: These numbers depend heavily on the videos that reward you for watching them. I guess they still can be achieved, but with the reduction to 100µ฿ per video it's more difficult than before. Update 2, 04/04/2013: The numbers keep going down as the price of Bitcoin goes up.
• Convenience: 3/5. The website has a weird design, but it works very well. It also has too many ads everywhere.
• Payment speed: 2/5. You'll receive your payment within 24 hours after you request one.
• Risk: 0/5. It's a website that gives you free bitcoins... Or that lets you earn bitcoins by doing simple tasks.
• Final Score: 7,5/10. Free BTC PT lets you earn a lot of bitcoins every day. More than in any other site I've stumbled upon. There's many factors that determine the amount you end up getting each day, so you should check it out and decide yourself whether it's worth your time.

Did Earn Free Bitcoins And GOXKEYGEN Stop Working? (2 updates)

During the last couple of days I haven't been able to get my daily dose of free bitcoins at the websites Earn Free Bitcoins and GOXKEYGEN. Are you having a similar problem? I wouldn't like to add these sites to my list of places that don't give out free bitcoins anymore...

Will they be back soon?

I have contacted the administrators of Earn Free Bitcoins to inform them of this issue. I don't know how to contact the owner of the GOXKEYGEN site... It might have been hacked. Update 1, 26/02/2013: The admin of Earn Free Bitcoins says he's got a lack of advertisers at the moment, but that this will change soon. Stay tuned! Update 2, 27/02/2013: Earn Free Bitcoins works again!

Meanwhile there are a lot more sites where you can increase your bitcoin balance for free! Check these out:

(Sorry, but today was a busy day for me and I couldn't write any reviews :-P)

Site Review: CoinVisitor (2 updates)

Update 1, 10/03/2013: CoinVisitor has been down for 24 hours. I sent them a tweet to ask the reason.

Update 2, 11/03/2013: CoinVisitor works again...

Let's have a look today at one more site that gives you free bitcoins for visiting websites. CoinVisitor follows a scheme a bit different from other similar places like BitVisitor, Earn Free Bitcoins or BitCoin4YOU:

http://coinvisitor.com/

How It Works:

• CoinVisitor gives you free bitcoins after you input your Bitcoin address, visit a website during a certain amount of time and solve an image captcha.
• You'll earn from 5µ฿ to 4500µ฿ every time you do this; most of the times it's 15µ฿ or 30µ฿. However, after several websites you'll notice it'll say at the top of the page "Current visit value: FREE". When that happens, you'll get nothing if you continue visiting sites and solving captchas.

I only visit webs when the visit value is different to FREE...

This is almost a loss of time (keep reading)...

• There's a countdown at the upper left corner indicating the time you must be at each website; it could be 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds and I once was 300 seconds. When it reaches zero, an image captcha will load; in order to solve it, you'll have to select the image that doesn't belong to the set. Let's see some examples:

When this countdown ends, you'll solve an original captcha!

The wrong one here is the mushroom, because it can never have leaves

The wrong one here is the giraffe (or is it a llama?), because its background is white

The wrong one here is the elephant, because it's far bigger than the others

The wrong one here is the arrow, because it has no legs

The wrong ones here are the boats, because you can't use them for eating

• If you fail the image captcha, you'll have to enter a verbal captcha:

I though I had all the previous captchas right...

Grrrrr! Boring...

• When the current visit value is FREE you might get a prize after visiting many websites. You can redeem it by solving one more image captcha:

I WON A PRIZE!!!!

It's funny that they divide Bitcoins up to hundredths of satoshi...

Yeeeeeaaaahhh

• Your payments are delayed, but you may request a payout at any moment.

Best Strategy:

• Create a new Bitcoin address only to receive bitcoins from CoinVisitor. This way you can assure yourself that they are actually paying you.
• Bookmark the site. You only have to introduce your Bitcoin address once. The site will remember it for your future visits.
• When you get up, visit the site, watch the wesites it pushes to your browser and solve the captchas. Since there's no possibility to know whether there are new websites for you to check out, do this several times during the day. I personally do it when I get up, after lunch and right before going to sleep. When the visit value turns to FREE, leave the site. Don't try to go for prizes.
• You don't really have to browse the websites. You could have them on one tab of your browser while you wait for the countdown to end doing other things on other tabs. However, some sites contain good information, so don't dismiss them automatically.
• Request a payment whenever you like.

You've got to solve one more captcha to request your payment

I prefer not to request it until I've reached thousands of microbitcoins

Site Review:

• Expected profit: 3/5. Around 200µ฿ per day. Not much, but since you don't have to wait several minutes on each site...
• Convenience: 4/5. The image captchas are kind of fun to solve (at least when you first visit the site) and the wait times are low.
• Payment speed: 3/5. You'll receive your payment several hours after you order a payout.
• Risk: 0/5. None at all; this is a website that gives out free bitcoins.
• Final Score: 7/10. CoinVisitor uses image captchas and makes you wait very little on each page. Its rewards for doing so are also lower than on other sites, but it's so fast to get them that doing so is worth your time.
