Hi there, good article!!
As to the free faucets, my favorite one, most dependable, longest paying and surely honest is FreeBitco. A friend made a short video about it and I made a splash with it for TE advertising, take a look if you like http://www.promoteadspaypro.com/extra/freebitco.php?ref=merry
This is a sample of that PHP coding I mentioned to you about ;-)
But... even with the best faucets, it will take one forever to collect enough coins to start investing. Sorry, in my opinion, faucets are not worth the effort unless... you have plenty of referrals there.
I was not clicking on BTC clicking sites, but I used to rotate alike splash like for Freebitco for BitcoinClicks, and I got 240 plus refs from it. It was a time when I was earning there with those referrals quite nicely. But it ended. Be careful with that site, there are some shady things going on... I found in my withdraw history 2 withdraws made not to my wallet, I contacted the admin asking about it, they haven't even replied back. Then one day all my refs from there were gone... just disappeared. I was still able to log in but in my balance was zero and my ref count was zero too. I even did not bother to contact them and ask, I just decided to stop promoting such sites... Very, very seldom online, we get something for nothing...
I've heard good things though about the moon faucets and I still occasionally go and play at Freebitco, but again, to collect enough from those for investments would take loooong.
Thanks for your advice, I hopefully didn't waste much time on them, it was just an alternative way to earn crypto I introduced here for everyone to get their own experience with it, but you're not the first one telling this to me about faucets, so I guess I'm not gonna lose time there. Pity we earn so little and there are so many frauds. Anyway, let's keep on steeming I'm sure that's the best way to earn crypto so far then ! (with working for an ICO)
Unfortunately, most of the online frauds and hacking are associated with crypto sites.
Let's keep on Steeming :-)
Yes it's fruitful, I trust it more than ever now.
