EarnBitcoin.co › The Graveyard
When a site on our list stops paying, it doesn’t quietly disappear — it gets buried here, with the date and the cause on record. Alongside our own removals we keep headstones for the notable earning sites that died before this list existed, so you can check on a site you remember before giving it another minute — and so a dead site can never sneak back onto our list.
Newest first. Every entry is permanent — a site that died once has to earn its way back like a brand-new one, and so far none has.
Learn-and-earn program
Coinbase's watch-a-video, pass-a-quiz, get-paid program — launched as Coinbase Earn in 2018, and for years the best first earn we could point a beginner at: real dollars for ten minutes of watching. The campaigns thinned out year by year until, by 2026, the program was gone and its page simply redirects.
What we’d try instead: Simple Bitcoin
Hourly-roll faucet
The most famous faucet of them all: an hourly free roll, a jackpot, and thirteen years of payouts that made it many people's very first bitcoin. In 2026 withdrawals stopped going through — and a faucet that doesn't pay out isn't a faucet, however long its history.
What we’d try instead: the faucets still worth a claim
CoinPot faucet
The best-loved of the CoinPot "moon" faucets — the claim built up on its own and you cashed out on your schedule, a genuinely clever design. When the CoinPot microwallet announced its shutdown in early 2021, every moon faucet went dark with it.

CoinPot faucet
A claim-every-15-minutes faucet with a daily bonus on top, from the same CoinPot stable as Moon Bitcoin. It died the same death on the same day: the CoinPot shutdown of early 2021 took the whole family at once.

Anyone can publish a list of bitcoin earning sites. The hard part — the part that actually protects you — is the removing. That work is invisible by nature: a listing disappears and nobody sees the hours of failed withdrawal tests behind it. This page makes the invisible work public.
It also keeps us honest with ourselves. Earning sites sometimes “relaunch” under the old name, and a list without a memory will happily re-list a zombie. Ours can’t: the graveyard is part of the same file our live listings come from, so every dead site stays on the books forever.
A listed site gets cut in one of three ways: withdrawals stop going through, the program officially ends, or the terms change so that payouts no longer reach normal users. Whichever it is, the reason goes on the headstone above.
Almost every death in this graveyard followed the same script. An earning site is a middleman: money comes in from advertisers or a marketing budget, and a slice drips out to users. The moment the drip costs more than the site earns, the countdown starts — and it tends to run through the same five stages.
Claims get smaller, rates get worse, promotions quietly end. On its own this is survivable — every site trims in lean months — but it’s the first tell.
The withdrawal minimum creeps up while payouts creep down: scissors closing. A rising minimum means the site would rather hold your balance than pay it.
Payouts that took hours start taking weeks. A “maintenance” banner appears on the withdrawal page and nowhere else. Support stops answering the one question that matters.
The most dangerous stage: the site still loads, still signs up new users, still shows balances going up — but nothing has actually paid out in months. Zombies are why we test withdrawals instead of checking whether a homepage loads.
Eventually the owner stops renewing the domain and it’s over. You can see this stage from where you’re sitting, in a way: hundreds of domains from dead faucet-era sites redirect to EarnBitcoin.co today, which is how a lot of visitors first land here — looking for a site that no longer exists. The notable ones get a headstone above.
Withdraw the moment you clear a site’s minimum, every single time. A balance sitting on an earning site is an IOU, not bitcoin in your wallet — and the dead faucets above were all holding user balances on the day they stopped paying. Before you start on any site, do this division: withdrawal minimum ÷ realistic daily earnings = days of exposure. If the answer is measured in years, the site is asking you to fund its graveyard plot. Our sats to USD calculator helps keep the numbers honest.
As far as our testing can tell, yes — withdrawals stopped going through in 2026, and we cut it from our listings the same year. It ran from 2013 and was the most famous faucet ever built, which is exactly why it's on this page: fame is not a payout. If you still have a balance there, try to withdraw it — but don't spend another hour earning more.
CoinPot — the microwallet behind Moon Bitcoin, Bonus Bitcoin and the rest of the "moon" family — announced its shutdown in early 2021 and closed for good shortly after, taking every faucet in the family with it at once. Users got a short window to withdraw; balances left behind were gone. It remains the single biggest faucet die-off to date.
No. The campaigns thinned out over several years, and by 2026 the program was gone — its old page now just redirects. It was the best beginner earn of its era, paying dollars where faucets paid dust. For the same learn-a-little, earn-a-little idea today, apps like Simple Bitcoin hand out sats through prize draws for finishing lessons — see the current surveys & tasks picks.
Usually it disappears with the site. A balance on an earning site is an IOU from a company, not bitcoin in your wallet — there's no deposit insurance, and by the time a site dies there's usually no one left to complain to. That's why our standing advice is to withdraw the moment you clear the minimum, every time. Sats in your own wallet can't die with someone else's website.
Two ways. We cut a listing when withdrawals stop going through in our own testing, when the program officially ends, or when the terms change so payouts no longer reach normal users. And a few graves predate this site: notable earners like the CoinPot faucets died before our list existed, but their old domains still send us visitors looking for them, so they get a headstone too. Either way an entry here is permanent — a dead site that relaunches has to earn its way back like a brand-new site, and so far none has.
