Moon Bitcoin - Faucet - Review

This website is a faucet they make their money by showing advertisements and having various redirects and pop-ups on their website. They then take this revenue and send a portion of it to the users. The qualities that make a good faucet are as follows ease of claim, value of claim, minimum payment, number of captcha, complexity of captcha and reliability.

Evaluation
Ease of claim- B
Place your wallet address into the bar and when you reach minimums payment will be sent. Perodically the claim button will either make an additional page popup or it will redirect your current page to a popup.

Value of claim- B
Dynamic claim system. Depending on the current BTC to USD value the payment will change the lower the BTC value the more the faucet will offer. Additionally, the payment will increase overtime but the satoshi per minute will decrease as time goes on.

Payment- A
If you are using an Xapo wallet payments are instant. If you are using any other types of wallet the minimum payment is 25,000 satoshi. Payments are done once a week if you are over 25,000 satoshi.

Number of captcha- A
You either do 0-2 Google captcha. This is variable based on if you get a popup or a redirect for your advertisements.

Complexity of captcha- A
Easy Google captcha typically take less than 2-4 seconds.

Reliability- A
Used for over 50 days now with zero noted down time, 100% payments.

Analysis
At the time of writing this the payout rate is as follows.
Claim TimePayout
5 minutes21 satoshi
10 minutes39 satoshi
15 minutes54 satoshi
30 minutes84 satoshi
1 hour119 satoshi
4 hours214 satoshi
1 day378 satoshi
4 days537 satoshi
1 week609 satoshi
4 weeks806 satoshi
It is important to note that every day in a row that you use the faucet you will gain a 1% bonus till 100%. It is possible to gain another 100% via referrals, another 100% via promotions, and up to 100% random bonus. 
However, based on experience the 100% log in bonus and the random bonus are the only ones reliable on avg I get 40%. I will be using 140% bonus for all the calculations.
Pay rate:
Every 5 minutes - 14515/day 101,606/week Payout Weekly
Every hour - 6,854/day 47980/week Payout Weekly
Every 4 hours - 3081/day 21,571/week Payout in 8.11 days
Every day - 907/day 6350/week Payout in 27.55 days
As you can see the faucet has a massive difference in frequency of claim. The less frequently you claim the more valuable your single claim is worth. It is important to consider how valuable your time is vs how much you make. 
Claiming every 5 minutes is unrealistic and would only be worth $1.26 a week at the time of posting. However claiming daily is worth 7.9 cents a week.

Personal Use
Personally I claim when I wake up, a few times randomly during the day (elevator rides, waiting in lines, other idle moments), and before bed. This typically nets me 30,000 satoshi or roughly 37 cents every week. I never have and never will go out of my way to farm faucets they are used only for idle time when I have zero better options.
