Faucets Are For Suckers - Coinpot, Or "How To Make Less Than $0.000...

Not to be confused with Potcoin.

In the interest of science, I have recently experimented with the "cryptocurrency faucet game." I don't find this worthy of anyone's time, but I know "free anything" is interesting for many people, and I was getting questions about it, so here's the best place to start, and why you shouldn't bother to do it.

Coinpot seems to be the easiest/best multi-wallet for using faucets, and they even provide bonus tokens for each claim. You'll get a lot of extra value (relatively speaking) in both convenience and token bonuses by using Coinpot. All you do is use the same address to sign up for CoinPot as you do for the various supported faucets (7-8, atm, BTC, BCH, Dash, Doge.) If you want referral links, pop to the link in my Sources section at the bottom; I didn't bother to get mine.

I think I can retire after my 11 claims.

As you can see, the interface is attractive and well organized. All the information you could ask for is here. There's even 2FA to protect your penny-candy money.

Here's what the main supported Bitcoin faucet, Moon Bitcoin, looks like after you've been forced to disable your ad-blockers:

Malware forecast - Heavy.

I have avoided bothering with these in the past (outside the occasional roll on the Biz_Classic Ark faucet), owing to the stupendously low payouts. Frankly, in most cases, these faucets cost you more to click them than to do nothing. Your mouse does wear out after all, and you need to use calories.

I'm not just joking, either. Your average mouse is designed with tactile switches to last "only 100,000" clicks or more (gamers regularly record 3-5 million clicks per year or more.) Add to this the electricity, cost of time, human energy, captcha keyboard strokes...this isn't an entirely free task.

This is all particularly relevant when you are receiving .00000030 Bitcoin per click -> refresh -> click > captcha > click submit "cycle."

This is your payout per claim, base. 20% of one cent.

However, I can remember a time when Bitcoin faucets spit out fractions of Bitcoin that would be wholly unsustainable today. It's possible these amounts of crypto would be relevant in the future.

Nevertheless, the time wasted on these faucets could be used for almost any venture, even checking arcades for quarters, and it would be more profitable. If you're clicking faucets, you're some sort of advertising-wage-slave making penny(ies) per day.

The potential cost of getting Mal-ware alone through the various advertiser-laden faucet sites is enough to make this a non-starter. Your advertising data and browsing habits alone are worth more than you are receiving in return.

Faucets are for suckers. Get a job, loser.
