Hello there fellow Steemians. I know it's been a while since I've posted. My personal life has been too strange for color TV lately and I've been super busy. But anyways, I thought I'd take some time and share with any newbies to the cryptoworld a list of my favorite cryptocurrency faucets as well as how they work, their perks, cons, the good, bad, and ugly. So let's get started.

The first one is worth mentioning only because it's the first one I found and it got me started in the world of faucets. It's called 99Bitcoins. This is just a basic site that you can enter your bitcoin address to and make a claim every 5 minutes and no more than 120 claims in a 24 hour period. It pays out in Satoshi which is the smallest unit of bitcoin. 1 Satoshi = 0.00000001 bitcoin. Enter your bitcoin address into the website and after you have accumulated 13,000 Satoshi's or more the site will deposit to your wallet on their next payment round on Sundays. They do give a 5% bonus on claims after you have used the site every day for at least 30 days and up to a 15% bonus for using the site daily between 150 and 180 days. The Satoshi claims for me average between 9 and 15 do not accumulate to a higher payout while you are away so in order to maximize your claim amount you must go in frequently to manually make your claim.

The next one I really like is called Bonus Bitcoin. This one you can make a claim every 15 minutes. Averge Satoshi payout for me has been between 25 and 60. This one again does not accumulate while you're away but does pay a 5% daily bonus on claims. It keeps up with how many Satoshi's you've collected in 24 hours and adds a bonus payout of 5% of that total. The best way to maximize is to claim as often as possible through the day. Bonus Bitcoin also pays a 50% referral commission. This site also has offers, surveys, and a dice game to multiply your earnings as well. (Dice game has been unavailable for me). Each time you make a claim on this website your Satoshi are deposited straight to your Coinpot. Coinpot is an online wallet that collects Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin from faucets. What's great about it is that Coinpot uses other faucets as well so if you visit multiple faucets and all of them deposit to Coinpot, your balance accumulates a lot faster.

The next faucet is called Bitfun. Similar to Bonus Bitcoin, Bitfun has a dice game, offers and surveys, and a 50% referral commission. It also has games you can play to maximize your earnings but I've never been able to get the games to load. I think with this faucet you can claim every 3 minutes but I have found that to be unnecessary because as long as you stay logged in your satoshi claim accumulates in the background so the longer you go without making a claim, the higher your claim amount is. This one seems like it averages around 40 to 60 every hour and each claim instantly deposits to Coinpot. It is one that has a higher than average pay out so I really like it but the only issue I have with it is even though my pop up blocker is off, I occasionally get a an error message telling me to turn it off. I make the claims on my cellphone so normally it requires me closing my apps that were open and closing any other webpages that have popped up and then it will work.

On to my favorite faucets. Moon Bitcoin, Moon Litecoin, and Moon Dogecoin

These all work the same so I'll just do one write up for all of them. With these you can claim every 5 minutes. You don't have to because it does accumulate in the background while you're away so the longer you go without making a claim the higher your balance will be. Even though it does accumulate continuously, the real time counter does slow down after some time. For example, with the Litoshi (smallest unit of Litecoin) claim, it may accumulate 2000 Litoshi's in an hour but only be at 6000 Litoshi's 8 hours later. Still a hefty accumulation but still the more you frequently you can claim the better. Not only because your faucet is running faster but also because you get a bonus percentages with each claim. You get your claim amount + mystery bonus percentages + daily loyal bonus + offer and referral bonuses if applicable. What I love most about this that the mystery bonus percentage you get with each claim could be 1% or 100%. So the more often you claim the more of those mystery bonus percentages you get. They have a fantastic daily rewards bonus as well. You get a 1% bonus after your first day, 2% bonus on day 2 and so on. This goes all the way up to 100% daily bonus after 100 consecutive days of making a claim. If you miss a day, your daily bonus goes back to 1% and you have to build it back up again.

This is a screenshot of one of my best payouts after only around an hour.

The next one is a free Ethereum faucet that pays manually to your Ether address. You can withdraw to your wallet after your account reaches 750,000 Gwei (smallest unit of Ether). This one is a high payout faucet. It lets you claim between 600 and 650 Gwei with an opportunity for 1400 Bonus Gwei every 5 minutes. If you had nothing but time on your hands you could be claiming around 2000 Gwei every 5 minutes. They also offer a 15% Referral Commission. You do want to be careful with this one though that you don't lose your original ether address. This website doesn't sign up by email, only wallet address so if you lose the address and have to generate a new address from your ether wallet, your account balance will show 0.

This next ether faucet pays out every hour. There is a set amount it gives of each amount of ether. It gives 0.000001 Ether 30% of time and gives 0.0000017 Ether 65 % of the time. The other payouts are higher but are only given at 3 % or less of the time. They pay a 10% referral commission. You must make a claim at least every 30 days to keep your account active and again be careful that you don't lose your origninal ether wallet address. Account is not backed up by email log in.
