nothing wrong with going for faucets i remember faucets giving 1-1,5 BTC in 2010.. who would say now it wasnt worth for me to click there few times? :)

If you can make dollars each week then maybe it's worth it, but people are unlikely to give that much away. We can't know what it will be worth in a few years. I wish I'd got a few bitcoin early on, but that's the way it goes

I rather meant i used to get "nothing" from faucets, 1 BTC wasnt worth almost anything then. Just like now from faucet a week i get max 0.0001.
But who knows what that can really be worth in few years? :)

I was looking at the old Btc prices. 7 years ago it was worth 1c! We don't know how things will be in a few years and I don't have time to bet on all the horses ;) I'm betting on Steemit for now as that really does pay me right now

Steemit is addictive too. Need to strike the right balance

Don't waste your time, make posts on steemit and win much more.

For me it th sam... Has anybody ever tried to mine BURSTCOIN? It's green minimg with low costs of power and hardware. You use harddisk space instead. (Sorry for that hint, becaus it very addictive and fascinating for crypto gamblers...)

@pery - I'm mining BURST, but still learning. - lol - In fact, I'm learning the overall crypto coin concept and kinda addicted in that search and research at the moment. ;) :))

Congrats on your resolution. Yes, it is mainly a fun way of wasting time. But it is so addictive because it is easy: few clicks for few satoshis.
My goal - which I am not actively pursuing at the moment - is to get reach from referrals :)
I have some really minor success, though. At the time my favourite faucet is Bonus Bitcoin. Check this out:
5 referrals shy of 1000!
I should make a post about it when I reach 1000.

Wow. If you can get that many referrals then you can let them do the work and take the profits. I've not had so much luck with that. I think I have one person on Moondoge earning me something. I did also refer myself to increase what I made :)

That's the plan - many referrals on reliable faucets. Then the only manual work left is withdrawing regularly from them. But it is a lot of work to build the base. As with everything in life :)
Of course, things change quickly in the world of faucets. One day reliable is tomorrow's vanished faucet. So it is a constant task of maintaining the network.
The good thing is - Bonus Bitcoin as an example - that I did the last promo post in March 2016 and new referrals are still coming in...

In some points, reading your article, I had a feeling you are describing me. ;)
I'm also kinda into those things recently. :)

But I bet you know a lot about different digital currencies and how to shift them around! That knowledge should be worth something for Steemit posts. So the faucets have value -- just not through their trickle of currency. Happy New Year! And I hope you have a great year in 2017!

I'm really not an expert, but I have managed to move these tiny amounts around to use them elsewhere. I'm more interested in the technology than in making money. Happy new year to you too

That technology seems pretty mysterious to me. But I'm slowly learning some. And now there are different coins connected to Steem, too. Like the SteemTrail coins. I get those, so I will need to learn about trading them on the Open Ledger and getting a OL wallet.

I've put what btc and Doge I had into Eobot cloud mining which will make me around 1 Steem per month at the current price, even if I don't use their faucet. I'll leave that ticking over for now and try to resist temptation.
