Rushbitcoin preliminary thoughts

Rushbitcoin is a faucet and cryptocurrency earning website that pays in bitcoin, or more precisely, in satoshi, which are very small fractions of a bitcoin.

Note that I won't be upgrading this blog post to a full review and guide until a manage to make a withdrawal, which could take awhile since I live in a country where Faucetpay is not available, and therefore have to earn 50,000 satoshi on Rushbitcoin before I can withdraw. However, based on payment proofs and positive reviews from others, I do believe Rushbitcoin pays. However, it is a bit sketchy that they recently changed the exchange rate between bits and satoshi. Also, the minimum withdrawal for Faucetpay users is only 1,000 satoshi. Non-paying faucets generally have much higher minimum withdrawals, so people don't notice very soon that they are scams.

The Faucet

Rushbitcoin's faucet, as of the time I am updating this paragraph, allows you to claim a small amount of "bits" every seven minutes. (In the past, I have seen it at once per minute and once every three minutes.) In the past, one bit was equivalent to 1 satoshi, but now a bit is only equivalent to half a satoshi, which is frustrating since I was trying to save up to reach the 50,000 satoshi withdrawal minimum and now my number of satoshi has been cut in half. The base claim amount, as of February 23, is one bit (half of one satoshi), multiplied by whatever your faucet multiplier is, but about 20% of the time you should roll higher and get more bits.

Your faucet multiplier will increase as you level up by making more claims. For example, after making 100 faucet rolls, I increased to level 2, and got a 1.05 multiplier. At level 3, I have a 1.10 multiplier, meaning my minimum claim amount is 1.1 bits instead of 1 bit.

Because about 20% of the time you should get more than the minimum amount, I earned an average of 2.4 satoshi over 308 rolls. (I am fairly sure I didn't click on any PTC ads during the course of those 308 rolls. However, if I am mistaken, and did click on a PTC ad before completing 308 rolls, that could throw off the average.) This was back when the minimum claim amount was still 2 satoshi. (Also, since the exchange rate of bits to satoshi has changed since then, it's like I only earned an average of 1.2 satoshi over 308 rolls.)

Due to the changing exchange rate between bits and satoshi, Rushbitcoin is probably better for Faucetpay users who can withdraw more frequently, than for people like me who can't use Faucetpay.

To prove that it's possible to get the highest roll (short of the jackpot, at least), here is a screenshot of one of my high rolls. Note that this screenshot is from an older version of Rushbitcoin.

Paid to Click advertisements (PTC ads)

This section may be out of date.

PTC ads are advertisements where you are paid to click on a link, view a website for however many seconds, and then solve a captcha. Here's an example of the sort of captcha you have to solve. I find it quite easy.

I was unable to click on PTC ads on Rushbitcoin successfully from Microsoft Edge beta, my preferred faucet claiming and cryptocurrency earning browser. However, switching to Chrome fixed the issue. You can use PTC ads in between faucet claims to increase your earnings.

One annoying thing about PTC ads on Rushbitcoin, a recent change I suspect was made to keep faucet claims high in spite of the rising bitcoin costs, is that sometimes when you try to click PTC ads, you get a popup instead of the PTC ad, and have to go back and try again to get the PTC ad.

Shortlinks

This section may be out of date.

Shortlinks, within the context of earning cryptocurrency, are a type of puzzle where you must navigate ads, pop-ups, etc. in order to find buttons that eventually take you to a particular landing page.

There are two major things to be careful of when doing shortlinks. First, make sure you have a malware blocker. You don't want to have an adblocker on the browser or browser profile that you use for earning cryptocurrency, because ad revenue is how many sites earn money so they can pay you cryptocurrency, but if you plan on doing shortlinks, you do want a malware blocker. (For some help on configuring a malware blocker, see step 3 of this guide.) Also, if any file makes it past your malware blocker and gets downloaded on your computer while you are doing shortlinks, delete it without running it or opening it. Also, if you are a Windows user (as opposed to Mac, Linux, or BSD), make sure you have some sort of anti-virus or malware scanner you can use, just in case.

Also, shortlinks sometimes have content that is not safe for work. I haven't extensively tested all of them to see if maybe some of them are safe for work, but if you wish to avoid not safe for work content, I recommend you either avoid shortlinks, or else ask someone more knowledgeable if there are any that are reliably p**n-free. Alternatively, you could try a p**n-blocker, but I am not sure if you will still be allowed to complete shortlinks or not while running a p***-blocker, nor do I know of any good p***-blockers to recommend.

Additionally, some websites may try to get you to agree to receive notifications from them while you are doing shortlinks. While notifications are fairly harmless, they can be annoying, so make sure you are familiar with how to disable notifications from websites in your browser, after having accidentally allowed them.

However, if you are okay with possibly viewing adult content, and are confident in your ability to protect your computer from malware, you might want to do shortlinks to earn extra satoshi on Rushbitcoin. When I tried all the shortlinks available on Rushbitcoin, I was able to complete all except bitcoinly.in. Kekolink.com and expresscut.ovh were difficult, but I eventually figured them out. Note that the rewards screenshotted below are not up to date. The screenshot was taken December 1, 2020.

Offerwalls

Rushbitcoin offers a variety of offerwalls, such as BitsWall and Wannads, which you can use to earn more satoshi. Some of these are the same offerwalls you can also find on other cryptocurrency earning websites.

Jobs

Rushbitcoin offers a few mini-jobs you can do for more satoshi, such as posting payment proof on Trustpilot, and then letting Rushbitcoin know your Trustpilot username under which you posted the review with payment proof.

Referrals

If you are good at promoting Rushbitcoin to your friends and other people, you can earn a small amount from referrals. When you refer someone, you will earn 5% of their faucet earnings. (They still earn 100%, so Rushbitcoin pays 105%.) My referral link is:

Is Rushbitcoin safe for work?

No. The faucet portion of Rushbitcoin used to be safe for work in the sense of being p**n-free, but not anymore. A number of p**n ads have started appearing as pop-ups even on the faucet portion of the website. I believe this may be a reaction to the rising cost of bitcoin, as I only started seeing this recently. I only see them on some days, so I think maybe they only appear when the faucet is struggling more financially. The shortlinks were never safe for work. (It may be that some specific shortlinks were safe for work, but as a general rule, shortlinks should be assumed not safe for work until proven otherwise.) Using Rushbitcoin while at work is probably a bad idea for other reasons - you should probably be focused on your job while at work (then again, maybe you spend a lot of time waiting for customers to walk in) - but there are other reasons someone might ask this, like if they sometimes use the computer while their family is around, or if they have very strong religious, moral, or emotional objections to content that is not generally considered safe for work.

For more ways to earn cryptocurrency online, see these other reviews and guides by me:

For a VPN with a browser-only option, meaning you can use it for your non-crypto-earning browser or browsers but not for the browser or browsers you use for claiming from faucets and earning cryptocurrency in other ways, see my Windscribe review. Please remember not to use Windscribe in the browser or browsers you use for earning on Rushbitcoin or other faucets or crypto-earning websites. Windscribe is a VPN. However, it is useful for other purposes, like keeping your politics private from your ISP.
