I've been a Bitcoin follower now for just over 12 months. In that time i've built up some coin from mining, gambling and other methods. In this article I'll explain some of the methods i'm now using to help increase my coins since mining has become pointless on anything less than an ASIC. If you're unsure what bitcoin is then please read my starter article.
This article will be updated regularly so that you can see how each is doing and new sites will be added as and when they are tested and return results.

RollerCoin
An online bitcoin mining simulator. Build your virtual data center and start mining bitcoins while having fun.
RollerCoin is an online, virtual bitcoin mining game where you compete against your friends to mine bitcoins. It takes the concept of bitcoin mining, but instead of the sophisticated Blockchain and processing algorithms, RollerCoin lets you test your skills, complete missions, undertake tasks, and play games to build your mining empire.
See my blog post giving you a RollerCoin Intro and further info.
Coinbase
Sign up with my link and you'll receive $10 worth of Bitcoin to start you off (to get you'll need to buy or sell $100 worth). You can earn new crypts regularly by watching vides from the learn and earn section.
CEX.io
Time Using: 4 Months
CEX.IO is a platform where you can trade GHs and Bitfury Chips real-time with other authorized CEX.IO users. Your buy or sell orders are matched against a parameterized database of other orders. If a perfect match is found, a caps trade is executed instantly. If there are no matching orders at the price you specified, then your order remains opened.
While it's difficult to say exactly how much has been made or lost using CEX, i find the platform easy to use and great fun. As owning a mining machine becomes less profitable, cloud hashing is something I see as a viable and affordable alternative. For very little initial outlay you can have a bitcoin miner that you don't have to host or configure, which pays out to your wallet automatically (when your balance reaches 0.01).
The other part of the website is the trading platform which allows you to buy and sell GHs. With the market in constant flux you have the constant thrill of potentially increasing your worth in a matter of minutes. With the very recent addition of some alt coins you now have even more chances to increase your crypto stocks.
Closed
The following have closed down for one reason or another.
Bit-Mining
Time Using: 1 Month
Bit-Mining is another cloud hashing service, this one has been developed solely for Litecoin mining. While the site isn't as pretty as other crypto offerings it is functional and has a growing number of users.
They have had some initial problems (as most crypto sites do) but the support staff and members are quick to try and help anyone with issues. As I've only been using the site for a short time I don't feel ready to 100% recommend yet.
Scams
The following have been found to be scams, invest at your own peril. Links to the following services have been removed.
Poker By Proxy
The system looked good and was working initially, then they took everyone's bitcoins and pulled the service citing PayPal transactions as the problem.
