Who knows this blog, the title of the entry should sound enough. Yes, it's like that series of five articles that I wrote some time ago "How to get three bitcoins in a month without investing one euro" but something different, right? In those I spoke of 3 bitcoins and a month, in this one of 0.1 bitcoin in 15 days how is that?
The explanation is simple. In the first of those entries the challenge was to get 0.10 bitcoins in only 15 days through the faucets, (I explained then what they were) and was by far the most successful and still has. I wrote it with enthusiasm and I was very happy that there are people who have taken it in the same way. I know that there is someone who has achieved it in more time, who has been left half, people who have achieved it and others who have not even started.
But I have also met people who have criticized her, dismissing the feat as impossible, even calling me a swindler, without thinking that; first, I have written and shared this for free and it has cost me time and effort to do it; Second, I am giving an idea and means so that whoever has the time and desire can enter the Bitcoin world without investing money, regardless of whether it gets 0.1 in two weeks or 0.05 in three.
To all those people who destroy without proposing, who criticize without building, I want to dedicate this article. And although I have read nonsense of the style that you would need more than 1 year to finish this feat but nobody has come up with something so simple to verify the veracity of what I propose as a simple mathematical operation I have decided to do it myself.
REALITY OR FICTION
Let's go with it. Each faucet gives x satoshis every x time so I will round them all to what they give per hour. Of those who give different prizes I will make a media.
These 16 faucets are those corresponding to the last update and vary between 4 and 30 minutes. In all those who put "an average" I have thrown for low. The prizes can hardly be inferior to the ones I put in and they will often be superior. Another thing that we can observe are the great differences of performance between some faucets and others. That, among other factors, is something to take into account to choose the ones that suit us best.
We have then that the sum of the gains in all the taps in 1 hour gives us the amount of 28,750 satohis per hour. It is evident that we are not going to take 100% of the time when changing between the faucets, resolving captchas, etc ... so we must take it into account when evaluating the performance.
That is why we will leave some time in the air and multiply it by 12 hours a day. It may seem a lot, in fact it is but nobody said that it was easy or that those 15 days would have to work only 4 or 5 hours. The actual performance of the faucets is poor in relation effort / reward but on the other hand if we have nothing else to do and we want to get bitcoins for free we can make the effort 13 or 14 hours a day during those 15 days.
If we do not want it to be so intense we can do it in 30 days instead of in 15. Here I just want to check if it is possible, not if it is easy or difficult. If we multiply the 28,750 for 12 hours we get 345,000 per day; that for 15 days gives us 5,175,000 satohis in total, or 0.05175000 bitcoins.
Well, then we have that with those faucets in 15 days we will get 0.05175000 bitcoins, more than 50% of the target.
Let's now calculate the performance of the faucets of periodicity 1 hour. They are those of the first update that I published and I already advance that is quite inferior to the one of above.
We add what each one gives us and we have that together we can earn 5818 satoshis per hour. In this case we will multiply it by 13 hours, since being 1 hour we will not lose so much time when making them. It gives us 75634 satoshis, which is the amount we can earn per day and if we are 15 days with them it gives us that in total the benefit would be 1,134,510 satoshis, that is, 0.01134510 bitcoins.
We have verified that the performance of the faucets with periodicity 1 hour is very poor compared with the others. In fact, those of 5 minutes are better than those of 15, these than those of 30 and all of them better than those of 1 hour. It has its logic considering that the effort made is also much lower in the latter. The trick is to overlap them all so that we can take better advantage of the time dedicated to them.
We only have to check the performance of the taps of the original entrance. Go for it.
That is the performance of the faucets of that first entry in the series. We will calculate what they give us per day. In total we will receive with all of them 10,112 satoshis per hour, if we multiply it by 13 hours it gives us 131,456 satoshis and that for 15 days gives us as a result 1,971,840 satoshis, or what is the same, 0,01971840 bitcoins.
Note: The faucets are updated as some of the originals no longer work, are not interesting or give problems with payments and I will replace them with new or better. Since I can not constantly change the data in this article, what I have done is to leave them but removing the links. Here are the new faucets added in their respective entry.
Lootool - Ice Bitcoin - King Bitcoin - Bitcoin Zoo - Bitcoin Bubble - zzBitcoin - Aquabitcoin - Hentenaar - YourBitcoin - WeLoveBitcoins
CONCLUSION
Adding the total results of the three blocks of faucets we have that, after 15 days of complete madness, we would have got 0.08281350 bitcoins. It would be necessary to add the 5,000 satoshis that give us to open account in Xapo and the times (enough) that the variable prizes would be superior to the average.
All in all, let's round the figure to 0.083 bitcoins. We would have stayed at 0.017 bitcoins to achieve our goal in 15 days or otherwise, we would need about 18 days to complete it.
With all these data we already have a response to the challenge. Is it possible to get 0.10 bitcoins in 15 days only through the performance of faucets? Yes, but it takes some more than I put on the list. With these we would need to work for 18 days and full time. Of course it is a feat.
Now let's see it another way, does it really matter that much if we end up with 0.083 btc or 0.1 btc? And if instead of taking 15 days it took us 18, are we going to lose more than time, which in the end was what we played?
The answer is negative in both cases. Evidently the faucets can not be looked for good profitability because they do not have it. In short 0.1 bitcoins are today 26 euros so it is clear that economically it is not worth it. Whoever tries it already knows what to expect, it's a way to get introduced to the Bitcoin world without costing you money out of your pocket. In addition, I always raised it as a first step of a more ambitious plan that included two more parties, not as an objective in itself.
And anyway,
Do not we do many other things for free or even paying?
